XXLmag.com caught up with Asher Roth to discuss his background, signing with Steve Rifkind and where he fits in today’s musical landscape.
Read the interview here.
The latest single from Lil Wayne’s infamous, The Carter 3, just dropped. The track is called “Got Money” and features T-Pain and my bwoy Mack Maine.
Everybody already knows who Lil Wayne & T-Pain are, but let me give you a quick rundown on the homie Mack Maine:
I’m happy to see Maine get more spotlight like he’s sure to get from this video. I mean.. a video with Lil Wayne & T-Pain? With the amount of attention and airplay both these artists get, you couldn’t possibly ask for a better outlet to the mainstream audience.
Lil Wayne. T-Pain. Mack Maine.
Hey… all three of their names rhyme. It’s kinda fun to say. Try it out.
Lil Wayne. T-Pain. Mack Maine.
Lil Wayne. T-Pain. Mack Maine.
Lil Wayne. T-Pain. Mack Maine.
Okay, anyways, here’s the video:
Lil Wayne, T-Pain & Mack Maine - “Got Money”
I’m still kinda mad that we lost mackmaine.com to a corny landing page, but regardless, mackmaineonline.com will offer a full user experience once launched and in the meantime, you can check out Mack Maine at http://myspace.com/maine4president

Here’s a little behind the scenes video of Asher Roth and Scooter Braun talking with Ludacris, Chaka Zulu and the DTP team after having dinner together last night in Atlanta.
I don’t know if it’s because of my newfound love for Macs, but I found this video pretty dope.
AC’s being making noise for a couple years and now he’s decided to go a new route with his latest mixtape, “Attack Of The Blogs”.
AC released 20 different songs to 20 different blogs which pulled together as a scavenger hunt style contest. The mixtape came out about a month ago, but I just saw the video about 10 minutes ago and thought I’d give AC and his team props for their creativity; not only for the song and video, but also for their approach. They’re thinking of new ways of marketing and having fun with it.
Anyways, I usually don’t do spur of the moment blog posts (I’m going to try to do them more often though), but here is a link to download AC’s new mixtape, “Attack Of The Blogs”.
And here is the video that made me post this:
(Props to the director, Steven Tapia, for his creativity on this one)
I remember seeing this video last year, but it found its way back to me… and now I have a blog, so I decided to post it up.
This video is a great example of viral marketing done right. Plus, it’s just effin hilarious.
Enjoy!
I know you’re thinking, “Another one?! Seriously?!”, but this is the first time I’m posting anything about “A Milli”, so I’m allowed to get away with it.
Probably the most rapped on beat in hip-hop history (if you can think of another, let me know), “A Milli”, has been done by every rapper, singer and any other kind of vocalist there is. Yet, there’s still more coming out.
At this point, if you’re going to do a remix to “A Milli”, it better be worth it.
Well, there’s one more. And yes… it’s worth it.
After being bombarded on his MySpace page by fans requesting a verse, Asher Roth delivers the goods on the notorious beat by Shondrae “Bangladesh” Crawford.
Oh, and by the way - turns out Chamillionaire just did his own “A Milli” remix as well; in which he mentions Asher Roth around 2:50 into the song.
Check out both of the tracks below, and also make sure to add Asher Roth on Twitter - http://twitter.com/asherroth.
