Artist Profile : Asher Roth

Jump to Comments

Let me introduce you to Asher Roth, THE NEXT BIG THING IN HIP-HOP. Dude is SICK… a lot of people will compare him to Eminem (wonder why?) but he is just being himself and he can definitely spit dope lyrics. His laidback flow, and lyrics that most people can relate too and the fact that yes, he is white will definitely help him in the long run. He is definitely refreshing in a rap game full of the same ole same ole, he is helping to break the mould of your typical rapper. After freestyling 150 bars on the spot in front of Jay-Z, even Jay admitted “Okay, okay… you’re nice.”

Hell even his now labelmate Akon is feeling the kids vibe. I know he will blow up really soon with the right promotion and maybe an Akon feature or two haha. Check out the video below of Akon meeting Asher for the first time.

Enough explaning , I’ll let Asher speak for himself.
(Taken from his bio on myspace)

“Yeah Yeah…I know. I’m the first white boy to ever do a tape with Cannon and Drama…I know…It’s Hip Hop History…but let us not make it about race…I’m just nice right now…See me

Who am I?
My name is Asher Roth also known as Asher Paul Roth and my friends say I’m the truth. I started rapping a little bit ago. They say I’m poetic. I say I’m nice. See me.

To answer your questions, yes I’m skinny, yes I rapped 150 bars to Jay-Z in his office on the spot, yes I have porn on my computer, yes Scooter Braun found me rapping in my dorm room and signed me off of myspace, yes I throw keg parties every Sunday, and yes Steve Rifkind (Wu-tang, Akon, David Banner, Big Pun, Loud Records, SRC, etc. etc.) calls me the “best lyricist he has heard in the last 10 years.” Thank you Steve, I’m not very good with compliments, but thank you that means alot big guy. Funny thing is I’m not even a rapper. See me.

As for this whole career thing I got my single “I LOVE COLLEGE” dropping in the fall so you have until then to tell your friends you knew about me first. For now I’m living with my boys entourage style (we all picked up and left) in ATL while we record this project on Universal’s dime. Otherwise, to entertain you, The one and only DJ Don Cannon and I are going to start posting a new remix aka freestyle and videos on this page every week on Fridays starting in May ‘08 so check in and see me.

When I’m not rhyming I find time to purchase rare kindergarten art off ebay. As I was recently enlightened that it portrays the soul in its purest form. On the weekends I like to watch football and dance in celebration of the coming week. I collect business cards purely for prank phone calls and pay my rent by doing BICH Work (Boys In Cougar Homes). My boy Greg Mike and I (Carpe denim all day), both started living by the credo…WWJD. What Would JEEZY Do? More often than not we find ourselves going with answers..”YEEAAHHH” and “HAHAAAA.” Ever since I’ve been living a much more positive lifestyle. See me.

Kind regards to Scooter Braun and bulldog Steve Rifkind. Good to be here. Salutations Scrappy Stassen. What up Brain Bangley!? Hola Tommy Blowpops! Hello to all my friends and family and anyone who decides they want to come with us. Special hello to the ladies especially my heavyset honeys. Can I get a soul clap!
Seeee me.

Like I said, he is definitely a change of pace in a rap world that has lacked something new and different for awhile… watch out for him in the near future and remember WHERE YOU HEARD IT FIRST HAHA!
