Who are you and what have you done with Guru? Seriously, we go from the emotional rollercoaster ride of thinkin' we're gonna lose one of the game's greatest MCs to some sick pathetic soap opera involving a man of no blood or kin relation denying family members the right to see their loved one. Now yes Keith Elam may not wanna reconcile with folks he hasn't been on good terms with for the past seven years but that's his decision not yours. From the outside lookin' in, you seem really shady. And if Guru's nephew claim is true that you signed documents as Keith Elam's brother and your wife as his sister than that's just plain alarming. An abuse of power. Releasing statements to websites and official Twitter accounts in Guru's name when he doesn't appear to be able to speak on his own behalf is also misleading and completely wrong. Be clear: At this point the only thing relevant and important is the status of Guru's health. Nobody gives a fuck about you or 7 Grand. Guru's legacy is Gang Starr. DJ Premier and Guru made classics. You and Guru make crap. And you should get slapped for meddling in family business.
I'm not dissin' but you shoulda stayed missing. Everybody in the club get tipsy. Nobody in the club remember your name. Damn shame.Asher’s Not Feelin’ Obama’s Nobel Win
Friday, October 09 2009 4:37 PM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog
This morning, President Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize “for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.” Obama became the third incumbent president and the first in 90 years to receive the prize. In a press confrence earlier today, he said he was “deeply humbled” by the honor. But not everyone was moved. Asher Roth took to Twitter and gave his opinion on the accolade. After all, he is entitled to it.
YN Update: Angry at Asher!
I think it was a good choice picking president obama. People expect this man to fix all of america’s problems in one year. It was that fuckin hillbilly cowboy george bush who fucked this country for 8 years. Obama was the one who voted to remove american soldiers from iraq and afganistan. People wanna criticize obama for not fixing problems but these are the same people who don’t have solutions themselves to fix the problems in this country. Asher roth is uneducated and lost. He is ignorant. It’s obvious he doesn’t follow with wuts going on. Obama is helping with international relations among other countries. The man is at least trying. He’s thinking of ways to fix problems. Don’t criticize him when if u don’t have a fucking solution to the problems america is facing. Wut would u do asher roth about the problems we have? Do u have any soulutions? People are quick to critcize because it’s easy. People have an issue with obama winning the nobel peace prize but before obama won the peace prize did anybody really care or pay attention about the nobel peace prize or who won it the last time? NO! I fucking doubt it. The peple who voted pres obama to win the peace prize saw the vision, the intent to guide america and the world to a brighter future. It’s going to take time to see results in what pres obama is trying to accomplish. He said in his speeches way before being elected that it was going to take time to fix the problems america is facing. Asher roth is an ignorant idiot who think he got all the answers. What would u do asher roth to fix the problems america has? What solutions do u have to fix america asher roth?? Cause it seems like your the one who’s “talking shit”. U fucking asshole!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!!

reading some of these Comments makes me ashamed of what some of our people have become in this day in age..suggesting that Asher is a racist or anyone else for that matter who just happens not to be black simply because they have a disagreement with some of Obama ideals is just plain IGNORANCE POINT BLANK PERIOD..SAME TYPE of Ignorance that ruled us less that Human at one point in time..this man was merely stating a valid opinion with no ill feelings towards Obama or any biasness..an opinion that I to share despite the fact that I love Barack Obama and that I to am Black
GROW THE FUCK UP AND STAY IN SCHOOL
LULZ how the hell are you going to make up the word “biasness” and then tell people to “grow the fuck up and stay in school.”
guys he aint being raciest at all!! Obama is his president too.. he can have any opinion he wants..
in this situation i have 2 agree with him.
asher how about you got a record deal by sounding Just like Eminem? we didn’t hear you complain about that/
[...] Roth followed yesterday’s tweet up with a lucid Twitter explanation as to why he felt Obama’s actions failed to warrant a Nobel prize. Read the rest at RapRadar.com. [...]
I have to agree with Asher on this one, Obama hasn’t exactly put himself out there to have rightfully earned this award, I honestly think the Nobel people should have given him more time to prove himself. I voted for Barack for one big reason: he said he would bring the troops home immediately. Now he’s considering sending more over there, that doesnt exactly spell “peace” to me, which is the essence of the award Obama is being given.
Wow alot of you guys are idiots! Just because Asher Roth does not agree with Obama winning the peace prize he is racist? That is just ignorant and stupid, a wake up call for you guy’s Obama himself was surprised he won the peace prize, check out the speech he gave about it on friday he to was shocked. Does he deserve to win the peace prize? NO NO NO he hasn’t done anything to deserve it, so if I don’t agree that he won I guess it makes me a racist. “KIRA” what the hell does him sounding like Eminem have anything to do with this, maybe you are racist…im just saying.
And I also voted for Obama but let’s get real here, people need to stop loving Obama for simply being Obama. The man has not done shit but gone overseas and apologize for America, and that my friends is a No NO. I don’t always agree with what we the U.S do, but I will be damned if I were the leader of the country and go overseas to apologize to racist anti semetic country’s such as Germany , Spain and France!
i agree…Obama aint do nothing “nobel peace prize” worthy since he been in office. I admit he seems like a good man but not that good.
You CANT put him in the same category as all the great people who’ve won that award. They done things to change the world and he hasnt done anyhting to change the world. I mean hell he JUST got elected so its not like hes capable of doing something that fast anyway.
asher is right. its not that obama didn’t deserve the award its that there are more deserving people out there have dedicated their lives to helping people and promoting peace globally. obama is a face of a country and political party if anything. just because hes the symbol of hope and growth for minorities and the economically disadvantaged within america doesn’t have anything to do with peace.
Interesting viewpoint Asher, I wonder what Vanilla Ice, Marky Mark (sans Funky Bunch), Lil White, DJ Sven and MC Miker G’s thoughts are on this topic of Obama’s Nobel Prize?
What has Obama done to win the Nobel Peace Prize, well, according to the esteemed panel of judges, it is what he is working towards, peace in the middle east, peace within America, peace with allies and enemies, understanding, the people who say he did not do anything yet do not pay attention, he has not let continue the disastrous policies that were being taken as common under the last administration, what has he done, he has created pride and belief in a nation of people who was limited on their thinking, people were so limited, they did not believe a BLACK man could be President, his own people felt that way, so imagine what others feel, he has made the African American family, a priority, he has put a smile on my grandmother face, he has done more for the thought of the Black man than any other person in the history of the black man, so when you ask what has he done, everything, he is the freaking President, and everything that happens, whether it is the Wall St bailout, Medicare, Welfare, Social Security, Jobs on the Federal level, he is dong that, that is what he did, he makes decision everyday that affect and effect your life, how about bring respect and prestige from other countries, al qaeda and rush limbaugh as well as asher roth says he don’t deserve it, because his actions of changing the thoughts of people, were not actions, well you tell that to the Puerto Rican kid who realize that they can go to the highest body of justice in america and become it, you tell that to the black kid who is sitting in grade school not knowing one day he can become the highest ranking member for and about education, what has he done, nothing and everything, he is the President of the United States of America and his name is Barack Obama
He has time to get around to peace
Nobel was the man who invented dynamite, so I guess Obama does deserve the prize for blowing innocent Pakistanis sky high

FUCK this white boy….
Asher if I SEE YOU…. I’ll leave it at that.
wow he didn’t say one thing about obama being black and you all turn around and say its because obamas black that hes against him receiving the nobel peace prize. “You’re a part of a culture built by Black and Latinos and you continue to speak in a disrespectful way towards African-Americans” from the blackout… so if someone is black they get some sort of pass from criticism? isn’t that a prejudice treating someone different because of the color of their skin? I don’t see where he was being “disrespectful” to African-Americans. “The hip-hop community galvanized to help elect our commander-in-chief and we shouldn’t turn our back on him this soon. What are you really doin’ to change the world, disco kid?” He’s an American he can decide for himself if he likes what Obama is doing and you’re right Asher Roth isn’t really doing anything to change the world but then again he wasn’t voted to be in charge of the country that rules the world and is merely a citizen unlike Obama. Why the fuck does it always have to be a racial situation when Obama is getting criticism from someone who is white, stop pulling the fucking race card you sensitive little bitch.
Sorry but the tweets seem pretty anti-Obama. While I do think the award is jumping the gun (I mean what does he have to strive for for the next 3 years?), the Nobel Peace Prize committee has the right to award the prize to whomever they want. I don’t think Ryan Seacrest should have a star on Hollywood Boulvard but we all learn to deal.
Yes, there are people who have really committed their lives to establishing peace in the world, and they probably should have been picked but guess what they didn’t receive enough votes. And when you’re committing your life to something, you really shouldn’t expect to get a pat on the back for it otherwise your heart is not genuine and you’re not truly doing X for the love of others.
Personally I can’t help but be on Obama’s side because I just feel that anything ANYTHING he does will get his ass jumped. He seems to have someone jumping on his ass and fighting him just because they can. Don’t remember Clinton or Bush (that’s how young I am. Only remember 2 presidents) having this much resistance from all sides.
WoW You Guys getting at Asher like he called Obama a “nigger” or something damn. This is what make me dislike people cuz as soon as you say something bad about Obama than your not black or you a racists because you disagree. WTF type of society is this. Asher stated his opinion which many including myself share. What has he done that makes him worthy of “The Nobel Peace Prize” cuz I dont know somebody please tell me, and i gotta laugh at the Editor for this line “he has done more for the thought of the Black man than any other person in the history of the black man” , So I guess all the stuff that Martin and Malcolm did for the thoughts of young black males is just null and void huh.
YN…
What does race have to do with this?
It’s pretty scary that someone can’t voice their opinion of our President without you calling them “disrespectful to African Americans”.
Nothing Asher said has anything to do with our President’s skin color.
Asher was obviously an Obama supporter when he was running for office, and has been let down by his performance thus-far… just like a lot of other people…whether they are part of the hip hop community or not.
People have had negative things to say about every other president we’ve ever had, why is Obama off limits?
I think the president is doing a fine job and I approve. I like the direction he is taking our country and the world. I don’t, however, feel that what he has done SO FAR merits a Nobel Peace Prize. In a couple of years sure, give him the prize, I’m sure he will deserve it.
YN, why can’t you accept honest criticism without claiming that it results from the irrational hatred of people with different levels of melanin? This is 2010 not 1864.
So just because he doesn’t think Obama deserves a prize, and Obama happens to be half black, that makes him racist?
That self-victimization is exactly why things like racism persist in America.
I know black dudes who think Obama didn’t deserve it, are they racist against his white side?
Your all ignorant. Fuck outta here.
have made so many on the page after this pls take a look and see what that yn poor example of his race read what he said !
Ashers right,Obama didnt deserve it. its not racist, its the truth.
