Asher Roth – D.O.A. Remix

Props illRoots

As of late, statements I’ve made have been stirring up much controversy and speculation. It is in my best interest that I feel I should address these instances personally and specifically. Truth: I am 23 year old imperfect human being who’s world is drastically changing around him. Facebook is no longer for just me and my friends. Twitter is no longer solely for the watchful eye of my parents. A new responsibility and voice has been placed upon me and is being heard well beyond my immediate peers. I’ve been receiving a crash course on perspectives and a very real sensitivity that exists and is an essential part of our world. With that, I’d like to sincerely apologize for any words that have been misinterpreted and may have offended any man, woman or child.

Thoughts on his statement?

“When I dropped that … (I thought) ‘You guys are always going off about how much money you have. Do you realize what’s going on in this world right now?’ All these black rappers ? African rappers ? talking about how much money they have. ‘Do you realize what’s going on in Africa right now?’” Roth says.

“It’s just like, ‘You guys are disgusting. Talking about billions and billions of dollars you have. And spending it frivolously, when you know, the Motherland is suffering beyond belief right now.’”

Asher Roth got into some trouble earlier this week for making a joke about, “Nappy Headed Hoes,” on twitter while at Rutgers. He at first apologized and then deleted the joke, apology and said his account was hacked. I know Asher isn’t racist but he has to be careful with the jokes he makes in public.

I also don’t like that he mentions, “Black Rappers,” when it should just be rappers period.
