Asher Roth: The Daily Kush
November 7th, 2008 by Alex
This isn’t breaking news or anything, but ending off a week with some good beats is never a bad thing. There are a ton of rappers in the world that puff, but how many of them are white kids? And actually collaborate with Kanye, Pharrell Williams, Hi Tek and others?
Yea, that whittles down the list to one dude - Asher Roth.
He’s not everyone’s style, but we all know it’s easy to find haters on the internet… Instead, Asher put his money where it matters and dropped a sick mixtape called The Greenhouse Effect.
It’s free to download and hosted by DJ Cannon and DJ Drama - not bad company for a first drop. So, listen to something new on Friday and see if you like it. Or, get more Asher Roth news at The Daily Kush.
The Aristrocrunk Legacy … of Wackness
September 26th, 2008 by AlexI’m a fan of music. You could even say that me and music are best buds. Wherever I go, he goes with me. I’m also a fan of rap and hip hop, especially some nice West Coast talent - Blackalicious, Souls of Mischief, Visionaries, Lyrics Born, People Under The Stairs, etc… they drop ill beats with fluid rhymes. Makes my days infinitely better.
Then, there’s this shit you see above me. I don’t know what’s worse, there’s too many things to cover in a single post about how lame these guys are, but I’ll try and make a dent. Forget the fake aristocratic aspirations, forget the ridiculously wack outfits and the guy who looks like the Golden State Huffer. None of that matters because of one, indisputable truth…
Their rhymes suck.
Put them in a room with the Gift of Gab and he’ll tear them apart; lyrically abuse these weaksauce, shit-spouting posers who play dress-up to get on wax because their talent isn’t good enough to do it alone.
Instead of being laughed at and driven off the stage, they are being potentially approached to create a reality show that charts their daily lives. What the hell?
This is the life that we’re living,
life of permission,
life of decision,
it is the life that you’re missing,
taken what we’re given,
never working for a living.
Seriously? Those are lyrics?
It’s time for me to queue up some Heiro B-Sides and for these guys to put down the crack pipe.

The Dude is Back
September 16th, 2008 by Perry
Devin the Dude is releasing a new album called, “Landing Gear,” October 7th, 2008. You might not have heard of him and he’s probably not even in your collection of Limewire music. And that’s your bad. Devin is the man, check this song on YouTube out.
His albums never really did that well commercially but Devin is respected in the underground community and has worked with heavyweights like Snoop, Outkast and DJ Premier.
He’s not for everybody, but if you like the Outkast-type hip hop that has a slower, synthesized beat sound and enjoyed “Doobie Ashtray,” you might want to check out his MySpace page that has a lot of the songs playing from his recently released, “Greatest Hits” album.
