Music video: Asher Roth – “Last Man Standing” (Featuring Akon)

Music, Video, , , ,

Rapper Asher Roth is ramping up production on the followup to his 2009 debut Asleep in the Bread Aisle by dropping a new single titled “Last Man Standing.” It serves as the lead single off his sophomore attempt now called Is This Too Orange? (it was originally named The Spaghetti Tree). It’s due out later this year; a new mixtape Paps & Jazz will precede it.

The music video for “Last Man Standing” finds Asher stuck inside a haunted mansion fending off his enemies with combat and fast rhymes. It all plays out in slick comic book style; the rapper teamed up with comic book artist Chris Hunt to make the cool, authentic visuals pop. Featuring artist Akon is transmitted digitally onto the scene.

With the release of a brand new music video, Dr. Dre’s Detox release is becoming that much more of an imminent reality.  The music video for the lead single “Kush” features Dre, Snoop, and Akon partying it up but all the guests are frozen in time.  These neat special FX mixed with the thumping bass of this catchy track make for an enjoyable video.

Yeah, you read that right people.  A Dr. Dre single has landed on the Internet.  Detox, the follow up to 2001’s The Chronic 2001, was put on the back burner when Dre decided to help out fellow rappers in the studio as producer. But now it’s starting to look like things might just be moving forward with the creation and dissemination of this vapor-album.  Today a single called “Kush” hit the ‘Net and it features Dre, Akon, and D-o-double-g rapping on top of a thumping base line that should get your blood pumping.  The verse material is all about the marijuana, and in a radio interview Dre wanted to dispel rumors that Detox is only going to be about this particular drug.  “[The single is] about weed smoking and I don’t want people to think that’s what my album’s about,” he said.  “This is actually the only song with that type of content in it.  But it seems that  everybody likes it.  So we’re going to go ahead and push with it.”  Dre did not intend for “Kush” to release as a single, but the current crop of positive feedback is making him think twice about it.  Official single or not, you need to take a listen and add this song to your playlist right now. I’m not gonna scream Dre is back just yet, but I have a feeling that expected early 2011 release date is certainly on the horizon.
