The white rapperz are taking over neggahz
Hell yes Asher is so fucking dirty. Can’t wait for Pabst and Jazz it could be one of th ebest mixtapes of the year.
Congrats to the homie Asher Roth.
Waste Of Money
Congratulations to the man, for real.
Universal were way in over their heads.
Had no idea what to do with him. Sent him to work with Pharrell on an entire album and couldn’t even foot the bill when they were done.
I hope Def Jam realized his real value.
Nice. Asher is so underrated. Definitely better than Mac Miller in my opinion. This is great can’t wait for the mixtape
So this says Steve Rfikin SRC was a bad move? Nah, while Def Jam will give him a cool push, i don’t see him going to the top.
Then again I’m wrong, this is the rise of the white rappers. in a few years I see Hip Hop being lost to white people like Rock.
mac Miller #1 Cd, Em highest selling rapper of all time, Machine Gun Kelly, Yelawolf, Asher, Drake, gang of white chic rappers. Yup, we lost hip hop like rock.
Now i feel it was a conspiracy to “kill hip hop” and revive it the resurgence of white rappers. They’re currently more successful than urban rappers.
i guess steve didn’t know what to do with kid… anyways… l’chaim.

So Rapradar, deleted my comment about white rappers taking over hip hop like white did Rock?
Truth alway cause a stir.
Well, it’s obvious despite any censorship from yall. The masses ain’t dumb and it will be a sibject to come and you won’t be able to censor folks.
Tak a cue from Occupy Wall Street, you can stop people.
[…] Congrats to Roth for signing to Def Jam. Looks like we can also expect his sophomore album in early 2012. Don’t forget to cop Pabst and Jazz (first release here) on iTunes this Monday. via RR […]
Ash has been on his G.R.I.N.D. and it paid off. Dude should elevate quickly with Def Jam.
the death of def jam is near
they should have signed Action Bronson if they wanted a dope white rapper.
congrats ash
but how the fuck chris webby cant get a deal??
Wow, Steve Rif must be ready to take his label elsewhere; since Barry Weiss became the Chairman of music over their …Steve’s artist have kind been put to the back-burner. Melanie Fiona had a few nice singles, but no promo with them; now this !!!! He should take SRC/Loud back to Sony and do a deal with Doug Morris

@Donn no one said Eminem was the first white rapper,they said he the first respected rapper.
Mixtape hits iTunes?
Too bad Mac Miller came and knocked the buildings on the frat rap genre. Don’t see how Asher reclaims what used to be his.
[…] evening, we got word that Asher Roth signed to Def Jam Records. Since the beginning of his career, he’s been inked to Steve Rifkind’s label, […]
Yall funny claiming this clown is hot and he good but when he drops an album he goes double wood with a bottle of Old english. Come he alright but not worth a mixtape download. he been out for 4 yrs and Nada and he white Epic Fail!
Someday ………. Just maybe Someday i can get that Steve Rifkind Success GUT .
Let ALL the white boys in ! Heres my Hypothesis :
MC Hammer got people into the RAP department of Record Stores (when they HAD Record stores)
and it led to the Success of Death Row. Because people like THE REAL.
All the people that felt stupid for liking Vanilla ICE’s ” ICE ICE Baby ” eventually went on and supported the REAL shit. They just didnt know any better.
The same thing can happen again as long as people dont get discouraged … like Black Rockers, or Black Jazz Players, keep making music
