dose of internet crack (Twitter) and I find out B.O.B 

and Asher Roth are at the Key Club.  The homie Tunji 

was there and I decide to venture into the night.

At the end of “I love College” I broke out my camera.  

Asher starts in on this chant saying “do something 

crazy, do something crazy.” Well, there was a Hippy 

with Dreads in the crowd that had been waiting for 

his time to shine and jumped on stage right as the chant 

started.  In a big stank mess of pachouli and bees wax 

he proceeded to high step, jump up and down, and egg 

the crowd on with ”look at me” hand jesters.  Just as 

security was about to hem him up, he took the huge 

leap of faith, lunging like a hippy high jumper, back first 

into the crowd.  The problem was that all the high 

school/college kids being extremely agile at their young 

age had enough time to move out of the way as the 

natty dread came came crashing down.  Yes, Babylon 

had fallen.  Hard.  On his back, managing to take out a 

couple anorexic LA girls along with him.  It was epic.  

I’ve been getting the “What do you think of 

Asher Roth?” question for the last 6 months. I’ll 

quickly break it down.  I think Asher is good at 

what he does.  I think he can spit, has a lot of 

charisma, seems like a likeable person and IS BEING 

HIMSELF.  Plus the marketing behind him is a no 

brainer.  Scooter, his manager did his thing.  It’s not 

something that I would bump necessarily, but there’s 

a lot of hype around him and I think it makes sense.

And he definitely impressed me with his live show.  

I think that as he grows as a person his content will 

progress with him.*

this purely for the hippy)
