Asher Roth “Boom Boom Pow (Black Eyed Peas Cover)”
While we still find something unshakably irksome about Asher Roth (and don’t act like you don’t), we’ve got to give him props for the awesomely goofy “cover” of Black Eyed Peas’ “Boom Boom Pow” he and his crew birthed on a recent BBC Live Lounge appearance.
From Asher’s shameless plugging of his own material (“I got that single out now/ Check iTunes if you don’t know/…Gotta get that (ALBUM!)”) amongst other dorky re-writes (“She got the boobs that bounce”) to that one guy’s hilarious attempt at a Fergie “wail”, to the magnificent drumming and scratching work that adorns the second halve, this is hands down one of our favorite Live Lounge sessions of the year.
haha, i love the fact that those guys read their own lyrics from their blackberry or some paper…but i really like the version! thx for this
This is fucking terrible. Asher Roth is talentless. This is an atrocious “cover” if you can even call it that…
Well I’m gonna have to buck the trend guys. Despite the huge commercialism at the start, this is a good live lounge session. I also think after listening to his album, that he is a pretty good artist that will be successful because he reaches the mainstream well, just like other hip-hop artists like 50 cent.
omg asher roth is amazing and i love this version x
