"We all got problems, don't need yours/ Keep that shit on record/ What the hell y'all be lookin at me for?/ We all just ordinary people/"
Asher Roth dropped this mellow joint the other day, "Pot of Gold". It's a typical Asher Roth song, including dope rhymes, a nice beat and some insightful lyrics for only one verse, unfortunately. Check it.
"This is where the grass is real greener if you mean it/ Conceited is deceiving, the passion is what I'm seeing/ Believe it if you wanna, but really it's if you need it/ I thought he said he taught him, no talkin better, just be it.. beat it/"
Asher Roth posted this to Facebook today, and I thought it was dope. Not a fan of that Chuck Inglish dude, but Asher killed it. I really liked the beat too. I think this is just a lone single for right now. Check it.
"And I know just what you think, this wonderous one hit/ It's a product, a robotic, I promise it's not it/ No verse that I ain't rip, The words that you can't script/ We all know who did it first, it just hurts you to admit/"
Man I fucking love Asher Roth's style. It sounds like he's lazy as fuck when he writes but STILL kills it. I don't know what it is, it just seems like he's so used to his style that it's really easy for him to create bars all nonchalant n shit. This is from Asher's latest mixtape, "The Greenhouse Effect Vol. 2", which I haven't checked yet but I'll provide the link anyways. I really liked the first beat he rapped over with the live guitar and drums. It had a sick feel to it that reminded me of something that coulda been on a Tony Hawk Pro Skater soundtrack lol. And that Pearly Gates beat just takes me back to middle school lol. Sentimental shit. But yea, check this track!

"Time to make the party start/ Yea, but once we start the party sorry kids, we party hard/ Already barred, I've been blacklisted from the bar/ Yea, but disregard the part about pissin' in Clinton's yard/"
This freestyle's crazy. Asher Roth is so sick at entertaining without even really saying that much. The dude's got such a laid back and relaxed flow that sounds awesome over this Missy Elliot beat. I don't have much else to say bout this, it kinda speaks for itself lol. Check it.
"Don't back down or back out, we back now/ Manny Pacquiao, knock the pretty swag out/ It's the last bout, don't ask how, without doubt/ The crowd shout wow, we'll make KRS proud/"
Yea yea, I know. We already shared this song with you a while ago. But if a video of Asher Roth roaming around a busy city in a swagalicious tiger hat doesn't entertain you, y'all need to lighten up lol. I guess today's theme on our blog so far could be described with the chorus of this song. Boom-bap, original rap. Asher kills this track, and seems like he was having a hell of a time making this video. Check it.
"Man I can barely move, in these embarrassing shoes/ And when I'm staying at the Sheraton, I'm sharing a room/ Like damn, this isn't fair yo, this thing got me fooled/ Bet i'd live up on a mountain with a fabulous view/"
Asher Roth is the shiznit. This man could shit on the whole industry with nothing more than his voice, a beat, and his iPhone. Can't really even hear the beat, but this freestyle is fucking sick. Perfect for a snowy Saturday afternoon. Check it.
"But they sayin "Ash, Chill yo, this isn't the time"/
Well when is it?/
Our people been evicted from homes they grew up in, but nobody cares to listen/
Man, it's pretty sick, they try to vilify religions/
And pit us against each other, when nobody's really different/"
Whasssup readers?! Found a sick new track this morning on HipHopDX from the always lyrical, Asher Roth. The sampled beat has such a relaxing feel to it, and Roth only helped make it sound better. He covers a lot of different topics, sharing his view on the shit in the world that keep us at the bottom. Religion, crime, politics, money, drugs, and fucked up people. He talks about it all, and makes it all flow into a crazy masterpiece of rhyming perfection. I wish I could wake up to a song like this every morning. Check that shit son!
"It's all polluted, yea screw it you fuckin' ruined it goonie/
I should be suing it, toot it and fuckin booted it/
Really we need some nudity, batteries not included b/
Coochie, cumas and boobies are prudent as all the food we eat/"
So I posted some Asher just the other day but I have been hearing very little new shit I like these last few weeks. However, this song was crazy. The last few songs I shared by Asher were more just chilling and had a good message but he didn't crazily kill it lyrically. This ones the complete opposite though as he rocks it like a seasoned hip hop veteran. Just listen and see for yourself, mad rhymes, check it out!
"Let's barbecue and maybe hop in the pool, truth is we got nothing to lose/
Except listen to tunes, stay cool and just take in the view, horshoes, maybe open a brew/
hope you know that you'll lose, that's the move, yeah let's go to the roof, roll a doob, take a moment or two/
Soak it in from the wind to the summit, sing from the stomach, sonny, keep your tongue in, don't let it run from ya/
And say somethin you know nothing about, right out loud all in front in the crowd, settle down and enjoy what is coming/"
So I've really been diggin anything I heard from Asher Roth in the last while. He's not as intricate with his lyrics as he used to be but he has a vibe and outlook on life I can't help but love. His most recent songs all make mefeel like he's in a real good place with his music, not livin lavish, but not wanting to, just content with havin what he needs to get by. I thought the beat in this song was great, I started melting into my couch on my deck and felt the heat of the sun on my eyelids making me feel all cripsy and calm. Besides the mood there is some great band instruments that particularly pop out at the chorus which separates it from the chilling guitar during the verses. I like the little part where he's talking bout some simple stuff you should do like "...kiss your mom, and highfive your dad and be like wassup."
"Relaxing underneath the sky so blue, when the sun's so warm there's so much I wanna do/
But locked in a studio while outside it's beautiful, all the fresh air you can't get inside a cubicle/
Turn off the computer yo, use your own noodle bro/
We can do whatever we want, it's up to you to know"
Man, it's a beautiful day and Asher Roth just released this new song and I thought it was so chillin' and real. He mentions a lot of things I love to bitch at people about often. I cant lie and say I don`t spend a lot of time on my computer, you`re only hearing this song cuz I do. But I seriously agree with a lot of what he says in this song. He makes a lot of connections about how we should be living more natural with the Earth and just enjoying ourselves. Check it out, I think I'm gonna go outside.
Principal was tellin' me I better go ahead and read/
Never be a better me, better off, better me/
Not really a bettor, but I'm bettin' that I better be/"
I've always thought Asher Roth has earned a
strange and under rated place in hip hop. Almost everyone knows who the guy is
but I never find people who actually been bumpin' his shit. I always thought
his hit "I Love College" was fun and catchy but since then I've heard
a lot of songs by Asher which are on a way higher level of lyricism. He's also
got his heart in the right place for hip-hop which a lot of rappers lack. If
you wanna see what I mean and don't know many of his songs I'd recommend
checking out "The Lounge" or "G.R.I.N.D" to see how real he
really is. Check it out!
