Suburban Fools, Breaking The Rules, Staying In School

Shout out to Dan and the Fat Lace team for posting this. Straight Up Blog Jackin.

Anyway, Asher Roth? Now I've been on this kid (no homo) for quite sometime. Not to be cliche with the "I've been listening to him since..." but I've known about this kid for a minute, 23rd of July to be precise. I like him, his wordplay is smart and I love the concepts. How can I not relate to a guy that grew up in the burbs, listened to rap music, went to college and loves getting smashed? Booze, Bitches and Black Star.

The first rap record he remembers hearing is Jigga's 'Hard Knock Life' for me it was either;

Run DMC's 'Christmas in Hollis'



Or... Cypress Hill's 'When The Shit Goes Down.'



But like Roth, I'm also interested in history and culture. I can totally converge and relate to Roth's time-traveling to a world of relentless rap, b-boy truism and just some straight up classic rap moments. After seeing this interview I have more respect for Roth. A lot of parallels can be noted in our taste and lifestyles; he's probably the first rapper I completely relate to personally. (NO MUTHA FUCKIN HOMO) More than just his music, I think as a person and an artist Roth is genuine, which is actually quite refreshing in the age of "Blog Rappers", Kanye West's and Fiddy vs. Ross style multi-media internet slews.

Roth has been in London this week, rolling with the man Semtex and hooking up with Chipmunk and Mr. Hudson. Kanye has also been in town for London Fashion Week and kindly passed through the studio to check on his British Boy Wonder. I'm surprised Sem hooked up Roth with Chippdy Chip, an unusual combination, I'm excited to hear what comes of that connect, two very different artists, but an interesting mix of clean UK Grime and College Rap. Watch out for Roth domination.

Rodney King Pt.2

I visited the Bay Area while I was in Frisco for a week, cool people, cool city, a lot of people are shook when you talk about Oakland, pretty much due to the Blank Panther connotations, but I went to some cool galleries, ate in some nice diners and all round had a pretty pleasent experience.

This shit however is F'd! Oakland stand up! FTP! Oscar Grant RIP!

Classic Biggie Album, this mixtape is alot. With extra verses and uncleared samples this is pretty much the un-mixed version of my favorite rap album 'Ready to Die'.

I think you lot are lazy... All 15 of you, the other 485odd views on here are by me constantly refreshing the page and basking in self-gratification and ego boosting voyeurism!!!

You might not take my word for it, but this guy is sick! Perhaps its cos i'm straight outta uni, or because i'm a white kid wanting to be a rapper LMAO!

So here are some visuals of my main man Asher Roth as you might not download the mixtape, take a walk on the wild side and view the following footage, you know it makes sense:







If my opinion doesn't count for much, which it pretty much doesn't! Take Rico Wade's advise and blaze a big fat ZOOT!
