The duo sits down with Ms. Drama. Shake said that there is bound to be a lot of co-signs from the “c-boys” about the Asher Roth distaste in the video. I take it there isn’t a huge fanbase here? I enjoy his music for the most part. He seems genuine in his music and that’s something that’s rare in hip hop these days.

roth is just a bad rapper. His flow is whack and boring and his lyrics are just slightly better than your average myspace rapper. shake sucks his dick though, so….
all he said was he aint fuckin wit him.. whats wrong wit that? asher is wack.. move on
Very intelligent people…it’s a blessing they involved with Hip hop.
… if i don’t like it . i don’t like it, it don’t mean that i’m hating. (c) Common
I want those shades what are they?? lol
the title takes things out of context.
they do that a lot at hhdx. smh
the wild shit is. Asher is a HUGE Dead Prez fan! At the same time they didn’t completely throw him under the bus, everybody is entitled to their tastes.
asher roth > dead prez
I can see the ASHER ROTH IS SWINE FLU t-shirts now.
I think that if he’d elaborated a little bit more, his point would have come across a little more clearly. Not that he needed to. It’s just you can tell he meant no real malice, but at the same time, there’s obviously more to it. Probably something to do with the fact that his music is watered down and pointless.
dumbass crackhead switch ur hat some more,
crackhead hoodrats for real
here’s a better question
Why has Dead Prez never made any real money? How has Asher Roth already gained more fans, fame, and finances in less than a year than Dead Prez ever will?
asher roth > dead prez
—————————————————-
Go to your room right now young man. your banned from your benz for the rest of the night
Seriously…fuck Dead Prez (90’s garbage)
You’d think these fools would have gotten 9 to 5’s by now, but I guess they like livin in the ghetto smokin crack n shit…
Most artist’s dreams are to IMPROVE and be SUCCESSFUL and never have to worry about money problems again (sell out). Dead Prez clearly doesn’t wanna be a part of that movement, which is pretty fuckin stupid..

because asher roth is a gimmick and dead prez are anti corperate america and therefore will never be on the radio, and they like it that way.
did he really just praise allah in his rap? i’m sry but these n!ggas are just garbage, im sry but i can spit better than that off the top and that says ALOT
I can’t believe people are disrespecting Dead Prez! Asher better than DP Bwahahahaaaa! Little kids do ur homework before speaking of Dead Prez, listen to Let’s Get Free and Revolutionary But Gangsta albums then come back and talk shit. He didn’t really even shit on Asher, dude has a niche market and is successful, hating is what’s been killing hip hop.
Dead Prez is dope but they kinda remind me of homeless drunks at times.
“because asher roth is a gimmick and dead prez are anti corperate america and therefore will never be on the radio, and they like it that way.”
lol kill urself kid ur an idiot
they dont get played cuz they’re fuckin wack
they’re anti-corporate becuz they dont even kno the meaning of corporate
which shows how ignorant these bastards are
and fuck all that “pro black” shit these pussies are clearly just biggots
just as bad as the fat white politician that dont give a shit about them…
i’ve done my homework andus maybe u should do urs,
i dont listen to hate music
it’s why i stopped listening to other rappers just like them (nas, ice cube, etc)
How is a rapper wearing a “nigger” t-shirt gonna call fox news racist during interview? LMFAO
these bitches are the ones that needa be exposed, but ppl really do have better shit to do with their time then to try to make these garbage artists ne money
and also wuts with all this “fuck the police” and “snitches die” shit?
do u really think saying that or believing in it makes u cool?
bet u aint gonna feel that way when u got a gun to the back of ur head wishin some1 would save ur ass
without police, piece of shit people like 2 guys would be roamin the streets freely–raping, robbing, etc. etc.
I’m done, n y’all def just got killed
1 more thing before i leave for tha day
How is it they are going to be anti-government and all that angry anarchist shit when they preach so much about making money (which they dont make)
Uh guess wut bitch without the government u wouldnt have a cent to ur name…
IDIOTS
there has to be an even ground here. everyone has their own preference… cant we just respect that??
Shake digs Ash’s music, that dont mean he dickriding. Dead Prez dont like Ash’s music, that dont mean they hatin. dude above me obviously has a lotta hate in him… but thats his opinion.
i personally thought Ash’s album was decent at best. quite frankly i thought he coulda done better. on the other hand i like dead prez but i disagree with the whole “roth is swine flu” shit. there are other artists in hip-hop that deserve such a title. Ash makes music true to himself and i respect that
http://adsupport.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=rockthespace.fan&sproutid=CQCCoO_gBR0pzOh1
I respect wut ur sayin MOOSE
hate? not alotta hate in my blood, but I did wake up blood boiling today and I’m feeling like shit n maybe that dead prez shit just set me off?
I’m not sure I am pretty jumbled right now, being that I’m dizzy as fuck, but I’m pretty sure I made some valid points.
But no, I ain’t got a single bit of love for any racists puttin out hate music…
The things said by people over the Internet…
SMH…
Oowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww they so senSITIVE!!!
first of all dead prez is from the 2000s, lets get free came out in 01 i think
2nd, Relentless get ur republican ass out of this blog.. of course there are benefits to living in the western society but it aint perfect.. im not even gonna go into detail i cant be bothered.. lol
to TrueThatTrueThat:
1996 to present
wow ur a fan? ur a fucking idiot…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Prez (look at the sidebar on the right, dipshit)
I dont even like the bitches but atleast I kno what the fuck I’m talkin about…
Western society? Ur kiddin me right, I’m from the most ghetto area there is in memphis, tennessee, and now i reside in jacksonville, florida (known for its crime and murder rate) but that dont mean i run around actin like a bitch n hatin the govt n cops n ne1 in a better position than me?
nah i choose to “hate” on bitches like them and u…cuz ur ignorant
“them” being dead prez
and “u” being ne1 stupid enough to think I’m wrong
i started listening to them in 2001, i dont care when they started or about wiki
tennesse aint shit, try livin in parts of peru, serbia, zimbabwe, china… fuckin fat american cunt.
First paragraph under the History heading @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Prez
In 1990, M-1 headed to Tallahassee to attend FAMU (Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University) where he and stic.man met and connected due to their mutual love of music and similar political ideology. “I was soaking up the Black Panther Party as a whole,” M-1 remembers. “I learned about their lives and it helped mold me.”
yeah, u kno wut? u guys r totally right! there’s no way their racist being part of such a respectable organization as the Black Panthers
and if that isn’t enough, do you’re fucking homework
they are acting members of this “political party”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Panther_Party
lollll
ya i can see u just hatin cuz ur fucking poor
boohoo
go out n make some fuckin money
real mother fuckers will hustle and survive, how the fuck r u even on 2dopeboyz if u got it so hard in serbia or zimbabwe or china?
…fuckin skinny little git foreigner
P.S.
LOL!! GUESS IM FAT!! =P
im hispanic and i got respect for the black panthers
it was a movement started by h. newton against white racism and supremecy in the 60/70s u idiot.. u no nothing on the history, u can read on wiki all u want but u never experienced it..bitch
ur a foreigner too in that country unless ur native american. its not ur land.
relentless904 needs to get his shit straight. thinking something is racist just when it is told like it is. and you don’t think it was racist for asher to say the shit he did at rutgers or that other bullshit about “black rappers being irresponsible” because they don’t go back and save africa. fuck that.
thats the thing about even some of you most loyal hip hop heads, at the end of the day you’re still plagued by the same ignorance prevalent throughout american society, which music put out by dead prez, nas, and all those other “racist” rappers you mentioned tries to address. you even went ahead and jumped on your own racist stereotype about dead prez being crackheads.
LMFAO SO HE’S “HISPANIC”
SUCH A FUCKIN LIL GITTER BUG THAT U DONT ACTUALLY KNOW UR NATIONAILTY? JUST “HISPANIC”
GTFO
SO U EXPERIENCED IT?
U WERE A MEMBER OF A RACIST/SUPREMECY GROUP IN THE 60′S/70′S?
WOW UR JUST MOTHER FUCKING AWESOME!!! ARENT YA?
AMERICA FTW

@ Relentless_904
I bought Asher’s CD too, but you fail at life for trying to argue this. hit the reset button.
“A wise man told me don’t argue with fools
Cause people from a distance can’t tell who is who
So stop with that childish shit” – Hova
You have some “african american” in you? Obviously not very much, LMAO.
DP is the truth – but they’re not for everyone, you’re stuck in the matrix.
obviously not… and I just couldnt help but check back here–feelin weak =P
So ur way of jumping in this “childish argument” is to bash me cuz i don’t like those racist pieces of shit and u do? wooptie-fuckin-do
a wise man wouldnt have posted that cuz u just became like victim #5 of the day
y’all r on a rolllllll!!!!
contradict urself some more
dumbasses =P
I bet ol boys momz still irons his Klansmens uniform hahaha…Yo people can say what they want on wax, and if you dont like it dont listen…but dont just fly off at the mouth because you heard something on a video, or took a listen to 1 song… and please dont believe the shit on wiki lol, ANYBODY can put info on there…
your opinion is your opinion, but when you be little people for there’s thats where you fail..and you speak on ignorance
Nothing u posted made sense….fail #6 ^_-
nice try tho
“ol boyz momz”
god! i wish i had those typing skills
shit! i bet it sounds even cooler when it comes outta ur mouth…
wut an awesome lil jamel
today has been the most boring day ever for me, as u may be able to tell by the frequency of my posts leading up to this evening =D
so, I’m out–my friend’s lil girl is graduating tonight
But u guys sit on here some more brainstorming of ways trying to prove me wrong, aight?
laterrrrrr
dead prez are alright. but Ash is way more lyrical (hate all you want). and dead prez are a one trick pony (not saying that Asher isn’t). All they rap about is 1)We’re poor and 2)Fuck the white man its his fault. I’ll take Chuck D, KRS-One, Immortal Technique or Ras Kass any day. Dudes who actually hold it down and have lyrical depth
haha You make me so happy Im black, I would definitely hate to be related to you..Yo, how many times did you vote for McCain lol..Your mad white power yo…
So what your saying is its wrong to make music for your self and not to get paid. and my typing skills are quite swell just ask my professors.. and ‘outta” is not a word, neither is “wut”
^^^^ ummm neither is “yo”…. you lose at internet grammar wars
So do you, look at what you typed, all those m’s lol… You lose for saying I lose, because I’m pretty great if I must say…
the games on, can you wait till half time if you want to get at me lol
You wanna get paid my nigga?
All praise do to Allah. Asher is dope. Hes no Em. Look at Em and look at Asher. Fuck all these Rappers talking about smoking weed sneakers and fucking bitches. Its time to rise above that. Rappers do nothing but keep you broke. Putting the limelight on bullshit. Is Asher talking to the rich white kids that suffer from being bullied and has a drug problem? No. Asher has flow yes but what he stands for? In my book Mos Def, Common, Talib, Jay Electronica, Blu, Brother Ali, are the real. Them dudes stand for something. Dead Prez is for the people. That simple. Asher is just a good rapper. Hes 2nd album will determine alot. ALOT. He gets all this hype and the album is average. Tanya Morgan Brooklynati will smash that iddish. But hey who im i to judge?….
Wow… there sure is a lot of fuckery going on in the c-section tonight.
ID RATHER GIVE YOU MY BIIIITTCHHHH BEFORE I LET YOU BREATHE ON THE LAST OF MY INDO SMOKEEE!!!
The Only reason why anyone pays attention to Asher Roth is cause he’s a priveleged white boy his daddy got connections.the guy is from the burbs, eminem is different from asher both may be white but both grew up differently.
Lets wait a year and see if there’s any more asher talk… by then his daddy’s moeny will be all used up…his birkenstocks man sandals will be all worn out…and his fan base will move on to some emo punk band… real hiphop heads will continue listening to dead prez… and if you dont agree, you probably a sandal wearing, fucking white as white corny muthafucka!
oh and to 2dopeboyz and bloggers everywhere… cant you see that every asher post has 90% or more people dissing his wack ass… take it as a sign, and stop taking his dads money to help promote garbage…
C’mon! Nobody made fun of “Relentless” for saying he was Native American because he’s part “Sue” hahahahaha. Sioux? You might be part “Sue” but that’s below the waist, my man.
How could some of you even diss Dead Prez and talk about them making money… are you kidding me. I’m sure you didn’t even watch the whole video, heard their music or understood their messg.
Not only that some of you probably just read the title and didn’t watch the video because they never used the term as their own. Miss Drama used the term “Swine Flu” which she explained what it meant so they could give her a relative answer. They didn’t diss him and dude even said that Asher was cool. They just don’t dig his music. I mean what’s wrong with not liking someone. They didn’t say he was wak. They don’t rock with his shit. Maybe that shit will change some day who knows.
I’m not a Dead Prez fan but I show them niggas respect for the fact that they are brothers who live the hip-hop culture, they empower minorities, social issues, politics and the rights in our country.
That whack bastard with the multiple postings got old quick.
Did anybody even click this kids name, because it links to his fucking myspace page. Rocking some kind of bullshit “don’t rag” on this avatar with his finger up and throwing up a deuce on his myspace page with his mood set at “original”
He’s a 21 year old kid and a fucking idiot. I couldn’t read all of that bullshit that he posted but I did read the 3rd one where he throws out the “N” word effortlessly. Bold move for a suburban white kid preaching against hate.
It’s bullshit. Don’t even try to come across as hard and educated when you’re here to rep some derivative myspace kid who raps about playing beer pong.
Internet gangsta. Go rent Whiteboyz and stop living it. Maybe it’s for the best that you release your anger on the internet. It’s a better outlet then shoving your mom and unloading verbal assaults on her when she forgets to pick up your bottle of L.A. Looks super-hold gel after coming back from grocery shopping at Albertsons.
Dead Prez are about as racists as the kkk so they’re opinion on Asher is moot.
*their
oh yes Dead C because all white kids live off mommy and daddys money and wear hair gel. its not our fault our hair doesn’t come pre greased like black people
People get reactionary without reading shit through. I’m talking about this kid, Relentless904, specifically and what I’m gathering about his comments and from his photo.
He said his girl is graduating and I think he means from high school. His photos of him throwing up signs at the camera remind me of the scene from Whiteboyz where the main character does a monologue in the mirror downstairs. He looks like he should be at a club in Jersey and saying racist shit.
His comments are ignorant as fuck and if you agree with that shit and are defending them, then go fuck yourself. You sound defensive and I didn’t even direct anything at you.
Here are the 2 comments that made me realize that this guy was fucking ridiculous right off the bat
“…these n!ggas are just garbage,”
“Most artist’s dreams are to IMPROVE and be SUCCESSFUL and never have to worry about money problems again (sell out). Dead Prez clearly doesn’t wanna be a part of that movement, which is pretty fuckin stupid.”
It’s like when 50 Cent was talking about selling 11 million and how people in 3rd World countries know who he is but that they don’t know who Fat Joe is. The shit’s about quantity to them and not quality. That’s why GZA can still murder his ass lyrically on tracks without any real response.
Fools like this need to keep in mind the amount of albums that New Kids on The Block sold and how much global recognition they got. Who gives a fuck about how much money they yield or how many people are aware of them. Certain shit won’t stand the test of time. Backstreet Boyz are huge in Japan and shit but that’s all most of these rappers are equivalent to. That’s the difference with some of these young ass kids. They think rap music is about “Having Thangs” and nobody seems concerned with talent or lyrical ability anymore.
“did he really just praise allah in his rap? i’m sry but these n!ggas are just garbage”- Relentless904
Fucking ignorant ass. Clearly this dude hasn’t listen to any Wu-Tang, Nas, Rakim, Mos, Kweli, etc. or he’d know the relationship between Islam (and the Nation of Gods and Earths) and hip-hop.
This guy’s either an ignorant wiggerish white boy who likes to think he’s hard, or if he’s “part African American”, as he claims, he’s a fuckin Tom. Take your pick.
@Dead C
Well said. Not to mention this dude is 21 and probably never heard their music at the time when came out and obviously couldn’t understand what they were talking about. People like him and others who think Dead Prez are racists are just being defensive because the fact of the matter is they are completely the opposite. They believe in empowering the black community. They don’t believe the “struggle” is over and most people who do live it not only don’t understand but are scared to understand so you label them.
Goggling and going on Wikipedia doesn’t not prove to anyone (especially on the internet) that you 1. listened to their music 2. understand their history and 3. can match the way society was at that particular time when they released most of their music. Understand the struggle before you make bold statements like all 50 comments you did on here just like others who are just reacting homie.
Music political awareness in music in 2009 will be completely different from 2008 and so and so on. Stop judging based on your emotions and give their foundation a chance before you say the most ignorant statements you can’t back up just because you’re a fan of a rapper they don’t choose to listen to.

They believe in empowering the black community. They don’t believe that the “struggle” is over. Most people who don’t live it (struggling in these communities) not only don’t understand it but are scared to understand so you label them (Dead Prez) as racist because they are brash and aggressive to see change. being Pro-black is not racist homie. Check that out too. It’s self empowering a culture in hope that they won’t die out, kill each other or being a victim of political injustices. That should be the goal of all humans.

apples & oranges. they each have their merits and you don’t have to like everything. personally i dig dpz & asher for different reasons.
