Hot song – Asher Roth “Common Knowledge”

Posted at November 12, 2011 by Comments Off

Asher Roth is one artist who I never, ever, in a million, bajillion years, thought I would like. When he first came out with “I Love College,” I hated him! Like worse than nails grating on a chalkboard, or Drake, or, dare I say, Bruno Mars. Yeah, I just couldn’t understand his appeal, or what people saw in him.

But when I heard the “Fat Raps” (remix) on Big Sean’s Finally Famous: Volume 3, I was like, shit, that’s Asher Roth?! On a completely unrelated note, how many mixtapes and albums can you have, that all include “Finally Famous” in their title, before you’re famous? But seriously, Asher had a tight verse on there. So tight that my mind was changed.

And here we are with “Common Knowledge,” produced by Blended Babies. I don’t know much about the Blended Babies, other than they have a song on Pac Div’s The DiV. But, they’ve been making some noise lately, that I’ve seen on the blogosphere (my Google Reader). I really like Asher’s flow on “Common Knowledge.” He just sounds kind of relentlessly nonchalant, and it comes off well. I never thought I would say that about Asher!

Asher is kind of a QT. Well, when his music first dropped, he was. Now he looks like he’s homeless and doesn’t shower. I guess it’s a fair trade off? Good looks for good music?
