Popular “suburban rapper” Asher Roth samples Weezer’s “Say It Ain’t So” in his debut single “I Love College.” It leaked yesterday. It’s been a long time since we’ve mentioned Weezer. The Morrisville, PA rapper (who currently lives in Atlanta) is signed to SRC records (see Akon, Wu-Tang, Remy Ma). Asher recently got his name out some more with the help of Don Cannon and DJ Drama via The Greenhouse Effect mixtape (you can download it at his site). He recently did work with the Cool Kids. OK, now that you know a bit more about frat rap, take a listen to the track while you read over the Weezer tour dates.
Asher also does Weezy via a cover of “A Milli,” which you can hear at his MySpace. As far as the “I Love College” sampling material, Weezer themselves head on a Red-powered North American tour in September. The openings bands are Warped Tour favorites Angels And Airwaves and blog favorites Tokyo Police Club. The dates:
09/23 – Boston, MA @ Tsongas Arena
09/24 – New York, NY @ Madison Square Garden
09/26 – Atlantic City, NJ @ Borgata Casino

Aesop Rock called. He wants his flow back.
HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE
Is he serious? Really? If you want to listen to some real suburban hip hop go here: http://www.myspace.com/micmitts and download ‘The Bootleg Mixtape’. Asher Roth is terrible.
date rapist
i made it halfway through, it took courage.
genuinely awful.
I remember the first time i heard ‘hi name is slim shady’ and i thought, holy sh#t this is the dumbest thing i’ve ever heard. using what i learned from that, i predict this man to be the next elvis.
other white meat:

I’m disappointed in TPC. What crappy tourmates.
seriously. what kind of band would want an opening slot on an arena tour?
vampire weekend went to college to, so this guy must be legit right?. this song is a pile of shyt bigger than rosie odonells morning squat.
…I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller, I wish I had a girl who looked good I would call her…
I suppose we were due for another one of these.
I liked that song!
oh god. this is so bad.
Looks like the kid Akon threw off stage got a record deal in lieu of a cash settlement and now the public has to suffer ?
awful flow. seriously, this isn’t even anything.
OK, finally got to the end. the chanting (“chug chug freshman freshman do something crazy”) is maybe the worst thing of 2008.
did he by any chance play for the duke lacrosse team?
god dammit god dammit god dammit i hate this man.
i bet he owns and carries two cell phones.
i bet he tapes absolut magazine ads to the wall behind his bed.
i bet he wears visors upside down and backwards.
i bet he uses the word “thirties” in every day conversation
i want to stick his face in a waffle-iron…honestly, words are failing me now, i’m blinded by this ineptitude. fuuuuck.
haha i love this. but yall do have some funny comments
I’m only going to check this out because so many people on stereogum seem to not like it.
If you’re looking for some intellectualized college post-doctorate hiip hop, look no farther than MC Paul Barman. If you want some some white boy hip hop rapping about weed, try the Kottonmouth Kings. Or so I’m told.
Wow. Look at who he claims produced these songs. This can’t be. These are knock off samples. This is beyond terrible. What an awful eminem impersonation.
This is actually worse than Shwayze.
man you guys are some hateful sons of bitches…listen to the Greenhouse Effect Mixtape *then* come back and talk ish
eminem? is that you?
i think it’s laughable this guy thinks he’s good enough to even try to cover one of Weezy’s songs.
literally everyone and their sister have done versions of “a milli.” it has nothing to do with how good he is, just the fact that he calls himself a rapper and it is the year 2008 requires him to do one. it’s like a legal requirement or something.
I know this is overused, but seriously: LOL.
this is the worst. i hope i never hear “aaasssssssssssshhhher roth” ever again.
OK folks: you’re trapped with either this or that Buckcherry song for the rest of your life. Which do you choose?
pencils in my eardrums
i opt for suicide.
Mickey Avalon, is that you?
Wow. That was not good.
People like this should die.
http://www.myspace.com/thefreakinweekendcrew
toungue planted firmly in cheek- not sure if they’re making fun of guys like him or just goofin off, but i find their depravity hilarious
Oh my god! I didn’t know Mickey Avalon went back to college.
this guy is gonna be huge
and that makes me one sad panda
paper route gangstaz sample weezer’s “say it ain’t so” so much better.
listen here:
http://hypem.com/track/595324/Paper+Route+Gangstaz-BDS+139%2C+Grind+Baby
Wow.
Strangely, this guy’s only the second hilariously bad white rapper to sample “Say It Ain’t So,”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsfqZFdyUIA
he’s no black nasty!
Just what the fuck is this Vanilla Ice / Kfed / Feminem / Fred Durst / House of Pain / MC Lars / Slug / Snow / KJ52 / Lady Sovernwhatever / Flobots / MC Ryan Adams / Jamie T / Jamie Kennedy wannabe bullshit? Less of this Asser Rott crap, seriously; just give us more of some new Streets jam, or even new Beastie Boys hip hop.
it this an ironic parody of white college folks? hope so
otherwise i hate him.
angels and airwaves aren’t warped tour favorites. mineral and thursday wouldn’t be caught dead listneing to them.
man stereogum isn’t selective at all anymore…
It sounds like LFO farted into a microphone during the summer after their freshmen year of college for 4 straight minutes
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahaha
his face, his voice, everything. wow.
and you know what? i’ll be hearing this bullshit parping out of cellphones on the bus in a month or two, won’t i? fucking hell.
Actually, I liked it. So there.
Is that Anthony Michael Hall from around 1993?
Also, I killed myself during the “chug, chug, chug, chug” call ‘n return thing. I think I made it pretty far.
“when it comes to condoms, put two on”
wtf!!!!!
Honestly the worst song I’ve ever heard…..I bet you it’ll be huge.
Somebody needs to remind this kid that Limp Bizkit still sucks and that raping a Weezer song does NOT make you cool. Oh wait, maybe I just did– By the way: college WAS bad ass, but real life might rip this kid’s balls off.
stop hatinggggggggggg wow you wouldnt be here listening ifyou werent interested
that song was classic. brought back memories…i dont understand why people are hating. It was a great record. simple
c’mon, is a tool with a visor and ray-ban aviators really that much worse than a tool in a fedora with ray-ban wayfarers?
I think that I just have utmost respect for the chap. It’s such a calculated song aimed at such a maaaasive market. It’ll be a college anthem for so many fools, and soundtrack a million TV shows about students. Pinching the “chug chug” thing is the cap of this man’s “genius”… it’s basically a ‘melody’ that millions of people know, but has (until now, probably) never been actually in a song.
I’m just in awe. Why didn’t I think of this?!! :(
9/27 – Philadelphia, PA @ Susquehanna Center
Their website says that their 9/27 show is at the Susq. Center in NJ– Not Philly–… Isn’t the place in Philly called the Wachovia Center? Typo?
This is awful.
That’s all I can say.
Wow, this is bad.
Dope song.
True Story.
This songs ify, but his song Cannon, is the shit, check it out it’s tight
