The Hunt For Asher Roth

Thursday, March 26 2009 5:37 PM EST | Posted by: YN | Posted in: Focus

I couldn’t make the official listening party for Asher Roth last night which is why I bugged his mgr Scooter to play me the album a couple of hours before it started. But if I knew some of my favorite niggas in the game we’re gonna show up I might have re-worked my sked. Ha!

Internets! DP tries to DP the man, the myth, the legend above and, after the jump, my homie Mr. Brown also invades the space. Plus listen to him catch wreck over the “College” instrumental.

You know what YN thinks: The more white rappers the better! Ha!

Common Keeps Lil Wayne On His Mind

So watching this Common freestyle back in Austin I was reminded of this footage I was sittin’ on. Two weeks ago, I saw this post on Please Don’t Stare and when I couldn’t load the video I reached out to the kid who shot it. We all know Com is a master off the head but it seems like he keeps those Lil Wayne references in his cerebellum.

Late Pass: Twista x The Game "No Love"

Twista RapRadar.com

Still learning the 24/7 blog grind and one thing I’ve noticed is that most of the music we post on these sites isn’t that good. Big surprise! Now be clear Rap Radar in a brief time has already shown to be more stingy in our coverage than the average rap blog out there. But we still have to serve a climate that puts more of an emphasis on “exclusive” above it all. That being said, this song isn’t “new” it leaked right before Rap Radar launched and for some reason I just listened to it and, guess what, it’s pretty good.

Two MCs who’s careers seem to be headed no where can still make good music as this joint proves. Here’s Twista featuring The Game “No Love” which I had to show love to cuz this is somethin’ I’d actually listen to even if this wasn’t my job. Ha!

Nigel D sat with King Jaffe Joe and asked him his thoughts on the state of the game. If you ask me, most of these niggas belong in the penalty box.

More Lil Wayne Rock!: "Hot Revolver"

Weezy RapRadar.com

This has been makin’ the rounds all over the Internets for awhile but supposedly this is the offcial CDQ of the potential second single from Weezy’s Rebirth “rock” album. Simply put, “Hot Revolver” is a hot mess. I can understand how “Prom Queen” can grow on you but this is a pile of excrement. The question remains will Ms. Rhone really let dude put out this junk? Somebody needs to make rap niggas rap.
