Asher Roth 'Hearts' "Who Let the Dogs Out"

Posted Thursday, January 08, 2009 @ 11:52 in Events by Joshua Glazer

The web was all abuzz yesterday about MC Asher Roth, who foiled a bomb threat on a flight into LAX. URB has another breaking exclusive from a fellow passenger on Delta flight 110 from ATL. Our source reports:

"Even more terrifying though was that the rapper on the plane who helped take down the perp was sitting in front of me and was playing "Who Let the Dogs Out" on a loop on his iPod REALLY loud for most of the flight!"

N.A.S.A.—the multi-hemispherical collab between Sam "Squeak E. Clean" Spiegel and DJ Zegon have announced a string of tour dates this spring to support their upcoming album which features Kanye West, MIA, Tom Waits, Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Karen O and David Byrne and dozens of other guests. No word on exactly what the live performance will entail. We're not counting on Chuck D, Ras Congo, Seu Jorge, Z-Trip (all guest on "Money" to be on the same stage.) But can we hope for some Kanye, Lykke Li and Santogold action?

Made In America Debut in Venice
