Asher Roth loves College (and Spadina)

First things first, I stole this post name from my friend Will - it was too good to pass up. Now that's of my chest.....

Okay so if you're yet to become and Asher Roth fan, I'm not going to mention the three words that would immediately make most people stop reading until I've reached the end of the post because I think everyone needs a littler Asher in their life and this is why...

1. He puts on a great show. The first thing he did when he stepped on stage was....well.....this -
2. He loves college and go-karts. Not to mention I get a warm, fuzzy, nostalgic feeling when I listen to the lyrics of 'I Love College' because - yeah - that party WAS totally crazy, why didn't we tape it?
3.  His DJ Wreckineyez is wicked and has the thickest goggles I've ever seen. He honestly reminds me of a cartoon mole.
4. He did a 180 in the middle of the show to forget about weed for awhile and free style about the corrupted food industry
5. He's so shameless - to the point that he and his band choreographed a boy-band-esque little ditty that they performed in one of his song interludes. Hilarious.
6. He's from middle class suburbia - but raps about what he knows and he's having a damn good time doing it. 
7. He does an awesome cover in the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge of that song who's name I can't mention because I only know 3 words in the song (the ones in the title) and as soon as I think of them it infects my brain and doesn't leave all day. Damn it, the damage is already done and since sharing is caring, might as well infect you too.... 
7. Did I mention he's uber cute?

White guy rapper. There, I said it.  

That is all.
