In Case You Missed it Pt. III: Recent Stuff from Asher Roth
And a new track:
Asher Roth - 'G.R.I.N.D. (Get Ready It's A New Day)' [mp3 audio stream]
If this kid didn't stay saying semi-idiotic, possibly offensive sh-t on twitter and elsewhere, I might be more inclined to give him a pass on his actually sometimes decent music....

Barack Obama is the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate!
Michael Steele - hater! [NY Daily news]
I mean, he ain't completely wrong - even I said WTF when my parents told me, but show some good graces once in your life!
More via AP video:
Obama's Reaction
A CFR analyst's take
Rush's usual crazy POV - c'mon, son! Do you really believe Obama's final decision on what he's gonna do in Afghanistan will be influenced by being awarded this prize or do you just spout that f-ckery for the ratings and headlines??
The man-on-the-street take
And to end:
Asher Roth’s Not Feelin’ Obama’s Nobel Win - not that I disagree with this dude either to be honest, but he's the last motherf*cker who should be speaking up. In fact, I don't really wanna hear from him period. He's barely a decent MC and I'll say it again: if dude was black he'd be #500 on an endless list of identikit, underground MC's trying to get love on 2 Dope Boyz that nobody cares about! [Rap Radar]

It was nice knowing you, Asher Roth!
Asher Roth wonders why he'll never be Eminem.
'Cos after your latest shenanigans, your career should be a wrap:
"When I dropped [my "A Millie" fresstyle] ... (I thought) 'You guys are always going off about how much money you have. Do you realize what's going on in this world right now?' All these black rappers - African rappers - talking about how much money they have. 'Do you realize what's going on in Africa right now?'" Roth says.
"It's just like, 'You guys are disgusting. Talking about billions and billions of dollars you have. And spending it frivolously, when you know, the Motherland is suffering beyond belief right now.'"
Honestly, I though this quote was fake 'til I traced it back to an interview he did with AP. And you know what, it's not even like his sentiment is that off-the-mark but his choice of words is. After the first time, I could have given him a pass (if he'd ever bother to explain himself) maybe but, and not to get all PC, if ever there was someone who needs racial sensitivity training, this dude is it! Well he was right about one thing: he'll never be Eminem 'cos unlike Marshall, this guy is completely tone deaf when it come to navigating the cultural and racial waters of being a white rapper in hip hop.

Trailer: Don't Buy Asher Roth's Album on 4-20
I don't really mess with this kid like that but this is f-cking very clever. (Note: now updated with the vimeo embed so ignore my previous quibbles about Rap Radar, who had the intial 'exclusive', slapping two of their giant f-cking chiron logos on screen during the entire video. I mean even TV networks, who are perhaps the ultimate whores of capitalism, aren't quite that shameless in their branding.)

I don't even really f-ck with this dude too tough but I will concede that this video is perfect for this song! Just what he needed and, like I said, he could win despite my personal opinion of him.
