[leojames321]

wow wigger paint your f face cause you ain't shit

[SuperSaturdayShow]

speachless...ash man respect...

[NautHumonTV]

Shit. Did he write the poem. Thats the question.

[MrRudeboy45]

dang, i thought this guy was just another waste rapper after hearing that college song, but this poem had mad flow and the lyrics were real meaningful. he has my respect

[Qbear2011]

So relevant to what is going on everywhere -3

[Osiris631]

Wow. Speechless.

[mxracer6969]

this reminds me to old school eminem shitt..

[MagicMusicCo]

Did anyone else get chills? Lol

[MagicMusicCo]

Dam, that was crazy

[dnbo9]

this is something, really is

[chonches]

m + m ??

[KurtishaBrister]

That was lovely, tear tear ;,,,)

[Iluvu098]

why is he so amazing:p

[iLoveHariboAndQueen]

i'd tap that.

[Iluvu098]

@iLoveHariboAndQueen agreed!

[403Skateboarding]

as real as it gets.

[PHORTAY21]

dope shit!

[nickhansbauer]

i really like asher roth actually. yeah, he's good!

[halrenrice]

I love him, he's talented, intelligent, and his only goal is peace, I want an Asher Roth!

[ZOEDEEP]

wow

[suPeRsmEgmaMan]

good poetry asher

[FlabbyDwarf]

asher is a god.

[Araskaz]

Also, does it matter if he's gay? To be honest I do not believe it - but even if he was... no reason to stop being a fan.

[Araskaz]

Stop saying he sounds like Eminem. Stop saying he doesn't sound like Eminem. They both are great rappers, just sit back and listen.

This rap is touching. I mean, wow. This was epic.

[canikickit7]

@Araskaz its not a fucking rap. its a poem. idiot

[shuewayne]

@poopston69 how the fuck u know

[lamptomte]

if you think asher roth sounds like eminem then you must be fuckin deaf. they have 2 totally different ways of building up verses and things they rap about

[strattgatt]

I didn't mean he talks about the same boring crap as eminem but he sounds like eminem. If that guy said " slim shady" i would assume it was eminem... but if DMX said "slim shady" i would think..  "why the crap is DMX saying slim shady?" Ya dig? its not because they are both white or both gay or any thing like that. Its because their voices and inflections are nearly identical.

[AtomicMonkizzle]

your dum

im none of them

you sound bad

your hands are ugly

you wanna be homeless?

why are you such a pessamist

your a colorless priest

[Time4TheDeed]

yo hes gay i think

but hes stilla beast

[shuewayne]

he's not gay

[poopston69]

@shuewayne yeah he is

[bbox]

hes not gay stupid...

do some research...

ignorance...

[shweetify]

@Time4TheDeed how the fuck could you say he's gay? He get's so much pussy.

[strattgatt]

sounds like eminem. It sucks cause you can tell he is trying not to sound like eminem... but he still sounds like eminem. Too bad.

[kkurtcobainn]

he doesnt sound like eminem, in probly over half of eminems songs he talks about rapin ppl and murderin ppl, and asher talks about societies and stereotypes and thoughts just cuz there both white dont mean shit

[l1tt1em3n24]

I want to see him in Poetry Slam..

[ILUVKING1331]

pure raw greeesynes

[MrBrightsideKill]

I simply love this song

hear it every day

Asher is cool

not the best in freestyle

but great being himself

RESPECT

[pauliewalnuts24]

hes definatly up there in freestyling though. he just can flow through the freestyle and talks about real life nad isnt fake talking about drugs,(except weed lol)bitches,guns , jail and all that junk

[MrTimReachAround]

this is hip hop

[FreekoDeNasty]

hip hop, ment from the heart, not how big your pockets get with money for, home many honeys you get, its poetry not some fucking wacked out song with just the hook and that everyone can sing that just one part and the rest is transparent, its the strangle, all this shit and about jerking and superman dat hoe and shit, is cool, if your high and drunk out your mind, how that is the hip hop section i'll never know, but i do know is real talent is coming through these days and we brush it away.

[yahooniga]

@FreekoDeNasty

all that crap is rap not hip-hop; rap is a part of hip-hop but you gotta embrace the good and the bad if you truly love hip-hop

[spot9491]

This is Ashers like good shit...fuck i love college and that whole album..his mixtape is where the creativity truly shines

[omarfamous06]

damn, hard

see how the the radio fucks up a lot of artists, cause of their denial of playing songs like this. booo fuck the radio.

[itousley7]

does anyone know where i coul dget this as a ringtone?!?!

[bchslax08]

no respect.... listen to the greenhouse mixtape tell me he isn't ill.

[KKreme15]

and just listen to what? listen to him rap about getting trashed in colllege?

[brettmm27]

you're gonna define him by a single song? he said it himself that the song was meant to define his demographic. and what else do "rappers" rap about. selling coke, how great they are, fuckin bitches. rapping about having a good time in college is a bad thing? god you sound retarded

[KKreme15]

too bad asher went to college for a year and dropped out. he must LOVE college.

keep it 100

[chonomakona]

this is his best work ever. its so simple and powerful. he should make more shit like this instead of talking about pussy and fucking and college parties.

[CCrestTheMusician]

hez accualy a lyrisist jo', like "The lounge", (itz a song), like buy tha album !! lmao !! stop playin aroun'

C Crest

[chonomakona]

i do have the album and he talks about fucking alot on "asleep in the bread aisle" and "the greenhouse effect" but shit like this is amazing.

[DandyBrownOne]

ahh lOVEES iTT.

the world has been waiting

for people like him. =]

[classic714]

no no no STOP!!!!!!!!please stop

[sermononer]

boo

[pvvrstykpr]

ok so i used the word new instead of knew* so sorry. but im not gonna argue on a youtube video really

so roth isn't paying his due for the pure fact that he's being compared to eminem? He's different and his lyrics if you listen have meanings behind them. Grover down there says it the best so I'm not going to repeat over and over.

spelling and grammer good enough for ya

[BboyPuff]

Real Life Nice

[Grover2984]

the problem isn't just that rap has gone to shit. It's all music. Rap was the purest form of poetry in motion, which is really the basis of lyrical music. 90% of rappers now have no purpose other then having a good hook that idiots will remember and pay a ton to get on a shirt or on there mp3 players. Anyone hating on this is someone who doesn't remember when rap was good.

[rsnupt82]

its a freestyle, its a poem, its a written.. he's a ok guy witha ok rhyme, comparable to vanilla ice in his time.

biggest problem is:

HE HASN'T PAYED HIS DUES.

[pinsmich]

? I'd like to comment here, but i don't know what the "dues" are. How do i know if i'm payin them - is it like a club card?

[pvvrstykpr]

lmfao vanilla ice paid dues??

never new the local ice cream corner store had a club

[rsnupt82]

go say that to his face... he was the freshest white boy with a mic back then... so was kid rock in his time..... but you wouldn't know that, cause you can't even spell......

[rsnupt82]

most respectable hip hop artsists have paid their dues.

they been around the block, smoked a couple of rocks, and battled to the top.

this guys came out of a cracker jack box with a few rhymes..... come on.

your joke sucked btw.

[pinsmich]

Well, if Roth starts rappinng about smokin rock and rockin the block then I guess you'll have a point - but i'm pretty sure he's not trying to break into the gangsta rap market. as long as he's speaking about college parties and people being retarded to each other - just generally keeps true to himself, I'd consider his dues paid in full.

[daa2nelfkhanh]

so what you're saying is to become a respectable rapper you have to smoke some rocks and be from the block?

you act like people in nice houses don't have abusive fathers and drug addicted moms too

ignorance at it's finest.

[Kreugerkidd1984]

i don't even remember what i said, but i'm past that now.... asher roth can do without me....  one things for sure, i got better shit to listen to.

[french023]

god this guy is incredible. Finally someone who gets it. I love this dude.

[eGuitar635]

hes officially the best rapper alive. his shits real and ain't the same as other rap. roth's the man.

[AhhmazingNothingness]

He's excellent, and everything he says is so true.

[IEATLAVA21]

guys its not a rap!!!!!!

its a poem

he dosnt have to have flow

its art

its a slam poem!!

jesus give the guy props for being an amazingly versitile artist and can rap and write poems...

props ash

[lax1779]

so true man.. this is what opens the minds of people around the world. this is what hip-hop should be not what it has become.. speaking truths of things going on around us not about the money their making but the real issues that plague society today... this is the dead hip-hop that has been long forgotten - its real and unbiased; how it should be.

[retaredjoe]

@IEATLAVA21 lmfao your stupid this video is a poem but acapella means you can keep a flow without a beat

[IEATLAVA21]

@retaredjoe well you're dumb because thats exactly what i said. i never said anything about acapella. i know what it means. thanks though!

[dirtydan519]

the poetry man....that's some nice shit. Guaranteed that at least 70% of kids these days that are so fucking caught up in bullshit ass, new style, unoriginal "rap" won't even take the time to listen to a piece of art like this. where has all the originality gone?

[KidWhiteout]

lame...

[maztakeef420]

not a freestyle... if he had a better flow id enjoy the lyrics to this alot more

[phillybaby422]

repp the 215

[TheGreatMozeek]

NICE

[alixarleen]

TRUE!!! below me

[treehuggish]

I don't get how lil wayne can be on top and the best when he raps about spaceships and underwear when there are rappers like these around. Even tho I'm a part of this generation, I'd have to agree with old people. Kids have no taste in music these days.

[MaxG1351]

I hope you kno a white man runs BET!

[stephyboo18]

he's good.

[dzair23]

dirty muther

[spoody014]

SICK!!

[DaScott123]

This is tight I digs it

[Lordnels]

The Sun? An outright racist newspaper embracing a rapper? Theyd never do this with Kweli, has done this type of stuff verse in verse out for over a decade now. Come on. I actually kind of agree with Benzino in retrospect, there is a major form of double standard here. This guy, a basic MC, is getting exposure his peers would only dream of.

[DaScott123]

one reason us African Americans don't get exsposure from white people is because they see us spending more time complaining and putting them down before they get the chance to choose us for something, everything is not from everybody, just think the last time you seen a white rapper on BET, Univision only shows hispanics, so just chill and let them do them and you do you cause hating just makes the race an easier target for media slander

[dcfitzyftw]

Asher roth was also on BET Right>/?

[maztakeef420]

thumbs up man... a BASIC MC. ppl seem not to realize this kid aint shit compared to REAL hungry motherfuckers who been goin hard at it...

[djruthless]

this guy's a bum!!!!!! a good for nothing lousy gadamn bum i tells ya
