T.I. and Kid Rock pose backstage at the 2010 VH1 Hip Hop Honors show last night in New York City.
Gotta give it Lil Jon… he’s the same every time you see him!
Chilli & Asher Roth posed together backstage. I guess he’s finally recovered from that “Nappy Headed Ho” slip up… Continue Reading…
It was revealed recently that rapper Asher Roth was the unnamed hip-hop artist that was mentioned in MTV executive Terrance Dean’s 2008 tell-all, Hiding in Hip Hop: On the Down Low in the Entertainment Industry.
Do you see what I see? This is my iphone screen shot of Asher Roth’s historical twitter f*ck up. Last night while perusing the tweets on my phone. I saw that Asher had repeated Don Imus’ “Nappy Headed Hoe” comment. Not one to normally jump the gun, I immediately hit Asher on Twitter like WTF?!? and I know I’m not the only one.
This one single statement was re-tweeted (repeated for you non twitters) over and over again by several who, like me, were disgusted that this would come from Asher. He being, an up and coming rap star and all, making mad dough off of music that was invented by nappy headed folk. Should probably not go there.
We discussed this for a bit last night and someone said that if it were Jeezy it would just be funny and we’d move on. Probably true. But Jeezy has nappy hair too. So it’s OK….or is it?
After about 25 minutes, Asher actually apologized (twice) for his stupid statement. But his apologies were lame to say the least. Like seriously dude…how could you?? *sigh* A few seconds later, all three “tweets” were history. Deleted. Never to be seen again. Well…except in the screen shots below that we all took cause we knew this was coming: Continue Reading…
Hot new artist Asher Roth met an Atlanta legend recently at the studio. Cee-Lo Green the soul machine (aka 1/2 of Gnarls Barkley) took a moment to listen to chill with Asher and previewed some of his new music in the car. LMAO at Asher for taking his CD back!

Asher Roth, the Atlanta Transplant known for his #2,999,834th version of the A Milli freestyle, performed in his first live show last night in Atlanta. He killed Shawty Lo’s Dey Know and dissed George Bush. He also openly admits that he is just a college kid who loves to rap. His performance of “I love college” is a refreshing reminder of how fun it is to carry your red solo cup and get fcuked up! I love him already… Continue Reading…
Listen to “A Milli” ~ Asher Roth Freestyle
It’s really a shame that so many people have jumped on this track. It makes it hard for the really good one’s to shine! Asher, an Atlanta transplant by way of Morrisville, Pennsylvania, just broke the A Milli train down. Hott! I swear to you. I had promised myself that I wouldn’t post any more A Milli’s, but people kept sending me Asher’s track. Once I finally heard it I just had to post it!
