Man, I love college\u2026\n\nThis week, intern Drew Snadecki interviewed Asher Roth, a hip-hop artist who spoke the famously wise words, \u201cDo I really have to graduate? Or can I just stay here the rest of my life?\u201d back in 2008. \n\nWhat has the Bucks County, PA native been up to since he presumably graduated? \n\nMaking his father proud, of course.\n\n\u201cHe\u2019s extremely critical, which I think is great for me, because when you start to see some success, you start to get a lot of people just wanting to keep you happy, not wanting to piss you off,\u201d said Roth. \u201cWe call them Yes Men, and my father definitely isn\u2019t one of them.\u201d\n\nRoth even has a track dedicated to his father called \u201cHis Dream,\u201d and used SAT vocabulary to tell us why. He said, \u201c[I\u2019m a] total mama\u2019s boy\u2026my dad was the disciplinarian, my mother was kind of loose, but now that I\u2019m grown up, the authority that my dad had in the household really plays a part of where I am now. It\u2019s just kind of like a little bit more mature and taking this opportunity to sit with you and other opportunities a little more seriously.\u201d\n\nIt appears that Roth is all grown up and his biggest hit to date is but a distant memory. Listen above to hear about Roth\u2019s other musical influences and his severe case of \u201cRap Tourrette\u2019s.\u201d\n\n\nFor more info on Asher:\n\n@asherpaulroth\n\nhttp://asherrothmusic.com/welcome/\nhttps://twitter.com/asherroth\nhttps://www.facebook.com/Asherroth
