I know I can't freestyle that good and wish I could but I still think it's funny because he so clearly loses it and says some of the stupidest things ever. It doesn't help that knowing Asher Roth he's probably super baked.

No.

I dont think he's a bad rapper. But he just wasn't on it for this video and the results are funny. It's not an epic fail, he's probably just high out if his mind.

Anyway, the important thing is I Love College is still my shit.

The important thing is that Asher Roth is only famous because he's white.

I know right? I'm glad you brought this up again. Doseone, Slug, Eyedea, Aesop Rock, Brother Ali, Sage Francis, all so "big" just because they're a bunch of talentless honkies. It's enough to make you sick isn't it?

Actually some of these guys are pretty dope. Aesop was really sick when he first started out, but he's kinda fallen off lately. Slug and Brother Ali are talented emcees (although they're both ridiculously white) but I'm not digging their style too much, and the other guys (specifically Sage) are kinda not that good. Their not talentless, but yeah, some of them probably are only famous because their white.

I used to hate him as much as everybody else, but at least lately it seems he's been making steps towards becoming a legitimate artist.

YouTube - Asher Roth & Nottz Raw-Gotta Get Up (NEW 2010 "The Rawth" Leak)

he's not really saying much, but nice vibe.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Who the f*ck is actually TRULY freestyling anymore these days? Wiz Khalifa is blowing up like crazy... I seen dude reading off his cell phone while "freestyling" on some radio show. He can't free for sh!t, and if he can? Don't go on a radio show and claim your freeing when you got a damn camera on you.

Drake too... See him on Hot 97? See him on Westwood? It's a travesty. If you can't free just admit it, I DON'T FREE. Wayne admits it, He said something along the lines of "freestyling is completely spontaneous, whatever you think of you say on the spot. I prefer to think my sh!t out and develop my ideas." See I respect that because he admits it.

Eminem I never believed was legit freeing because nobody is that damn good. To this day I can't tell if he is or not, but it's because he's THAT damn good. He's either the best freestyler in the world or he is extremely well prepared when he's supposedly "freestyling." Either way, If you're the only person in the entire world who knows you've got your **** memorized, shoot... that's a freestyle to the rest of the world. And he's smart enough to not drop a clever ass punchline that you KNOW wasn't off the dome. I think Em is a combination of memorized material and true freestyling because he's so f*cking good with words that he can just spit out whatever he wants, rhyme it with random sh!t and still have it make sense in the end.

Back to Roth, sure that video wasn't that dope, but it was a TRUE freestyle. You very rarely see that these days. All those Cypher skits at the BET awards were pre-taped and nobody even stumbled or seemed off or anything for a second. Those were all memorized. You want true freestyles? DOPE ass ones? check out anything Mos Def calls a freestyle... that boy's got talent in the art of TRUE freestyling. In fact I remember agreeing with someone else on this board that Mos Def's free's are usually better than his real songs, which is (sadly?) true.

I leave you with another white rapper freestyling. I didn't believe it was a true freestyle when I first saw this, but after watching it numerous times you can just tell it is. Either that or it's a mix of material and freeing... but he does one hell of a fine job blending the two if it really is a mixture.

Listen to the whole thing... you won't be disappointed:

I thought freestyling was in a sense spouting some memorized rhymes and weaving them into a coherent rap? If it didn't require some memorization then I think anyone could start freestyle rapping at any point.
