Ok, it's just a coincidence that there are a lot of white rapper posts today. Don't think I'm being biased or anything.
*listens to Beastie Boys*
But here's a dope little video, with highly amazing quality audio and like 5 different cameras angles, none of them being a camera phone. It's incredibly refreshing. But enough about me, Asher Roth performs out our showcase at SXSW a few months back. Here he does his song "Be By Myself" featuring Cee-Lo, but unfortunately Cee-Lo didn't show up for this performance. Ah well.
*listens to Atmosphere*

Asher Roth Drinking Game
Get Asher's party goers drunk. Read the instructions, because I tried to play without doing that and I lost in 4 seconds. The key is the SPACE bar.
And shout out to the guy in the black shirt with dreadlocks that looks like Hip Hop Official's Executive Producer, Daylan. Haha

[NEW] Asher Roth (ft. Slick Rick) - "Y.O.U."
Here's the U.K. Bonus cut from Asher's album, Asleep In The Bread Aisle, which is in stores today. I'm interested in to see how well this kid's album does, and how the masses respond to him. I can't tell. I'm so fully entrenched in the hip hop community, it's hard to get a global and mainstream view on certain artists. All I know is that this Asher Roth dude has a ton of hype built up around him, and he does have talent, and he does remind me of Eminem, and he does have commercial appeal, and he does have an angle, and he is white. So, with all those variable taken into account, all signs point to success. Let's see how this plays out. I think it all depends on his album sales, and more importantly, his second single. WHERE IS IT? We need another video, stat.
I'm probably gonna cop it just because. That's it, no reason, just because. I work for Hip Hop Official. It's my job. Plus, I can write it off, suckas.

Asher Roth Interview.
Asher performed at our SXSW showcase in Austin, Texas last month. Before the show, he sat down with our correspondent, McKenna, to talk about his upcoming album, Asleep In The Bread Aisle, which drops on...of course...4/20. He tells us not to except an album full of "I Love Colleges" and also gives us the inside scoop if where the random ass title came from. Let's just say, the moral of the story is don't take Tylenol PM during the day, kiddos.

Here is Asher performing at our Hip Hop Official showcase from SXSW. Fuck a camera phone, we got multiple angles and the sound quality is the best you'll find of any of these SXSW videos because we have the actual soundboard feed. Because we're nice like that. And because we love you.

[NEW] Asher Roth - "Lark On My Go-Kart"
I saw this last night on my Twitter feed. DJ Green Lantern droped this exclusive new track from Asher's upcoming album, Asleep In the Bread Aisle, which drops on 4/20. How ironic. This song serves as the album's opening track and features straight spitting. Either you love or hate this kid, but I can't make that decision for you.
The "Lark" he is referring to is Lark Voorhies who you might know as Lisa Turtle from Saved By The Bell.

[NEW] Asher Roth (ft. Jim Jones) - I Love College (Remix)
You couldn't pick 2 completely opposite people to put on the same track, but evidentially Jimmy is a big fan of Asher and threw this little remix together. Capo talks about his one semester of college life. I'm sure he learned a lot.
Fun Fact: Asher is coming through on Thursday for an interview. Yup. Hip Hop Official bringing you that newness for '09.

[NEW] Asher Roth - "I Love College"
This song sums up the best four five years of my life (a.k.a. College). There's nothing like experiencing your first taste of freedom from the parentals and having nothing to worry about except where was the next party and who had a legit fake ID.
For those of you unaware of Asher Roth, he's a white rapper from Pennsylvania burbs who spits about college, frat parties, and boobs. The Eminem comparisons are unavoidable (not only is he white, he kinda sounds like him) but the kid definitely has some talent. He's clever, funny, and has a cool little flow to him. If he's marketed correctly, this kid could be a star because the white girls will love him. And we all know if the white girls like you, you can blow up.
