How do you feel about Asher Roth?

[Anybody Thrilla]

I think he's pretty solid. "I Love College" does a pretty good job of describing...college. "La Di Da" shows he can get deeper. "Lark On My Go Kart" is just a nice little head bopper with some nice wordplay. Some of his songs get a little corny, like "She Don't Want a Man', but overall, I'd listen to a second album of his.

Thoughts?

When I first heard "I Love College" I thought it was a parody or satire. If I went to a party and heard that song playing I would think it's about as hip as wearing a t-shirt to a concert of the band you're going to go see.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Is that all you've heard from him?

[LoDownM]

Over hyped because he sounds like Eminem. Atleast he doesn't use an auto tuner.

[IC Champion]

People still listen to hip hop?

I think the kid has potential. Not the greatest I have ever heard, but at least he is shining the light on rhyme skills and word play, rather than hooks and club anthems.

[Savio]

not a fan

He has a song called "As I Em" that addresses people like you. Check it out.

Yeah, exactly. You can almost tell he's not going to be around for a long time, though.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I don't even think he sounds like Eminem. I mean, they're both clearly white, but that's about it. Really, Eminem doesn't even sound like Eminem with all those stupid fucking voices on his newest album.

That album was a travesty.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Yeah, I'd definitely take Asleep in the Bread Aisle over Relapse.

[Skippord]

I hope he dies


fucking I love College

[Savio]

Yeah, I'd definitely take Asleep in the Bread Aisle over Relapse.
I would take a peanutbutter sandwhich over relapse

[thedamndest]

Is that all you've heard from him?

I heard one other song. The beat was good, but I don't remember anything he said. After I Love College, I wasn't really interested in giving him the benefit of the doubt.

[Jura]

I don't like him. And he does sound like Eminem when he first came out.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I have it on good authority that alvarado52 enjoys Asher Roth. Does that change anyone's mind?

[alvarado52]

its true, i do. Honestly though, I Love College is a decent song, but youd have to tap into the other (ie not plastered on MTV...or VH1...or whatever) songs on the album to get into it. I will say he does sound similar to Eminem, older Eminem, which i find to be BETTER Eminem. But yes, Lark on my Go Kart, great little song. I also suggest Sour Patch Kids, Bad Day, and La Di Da. LISTEN!!!!!! LISTEN!!!!! Look, if a black dude and mexican are vouching for a white rapper, you know its good.

[Kalyx triaD]

Post some vids so I can hear this kid when I come back.

[BigDaddyCool]

He is ok. I've only heard the college one. But yeah.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Right, well there are three more songs.

[BigDaddyCool]

I like him enough for the one song...but I'm not that impressed.

[Seth82]

Cannot stand him....

It's bad enough we got Eminem now we have this idiot....

Rap Music just hasn't been fun to listen to since like the late 90's

[Anybody Thrilla]

What does Eminem have to do with Asher Roth? Because they're both white? Shut the fuck up.

[Seth82]

What does Eminem have to do with Asher Roth? Because they're both white? Shut the fuck up.

Rap Music died along with Tupac and Biggie at the end of the 90's

It's just not that great anymore...

[Anybody Thrilla]

You are ridiculous. You're listening to the wrong shit.

[alvarado52]

You are ridiculous. You're listening to the wrong shit.

[BigDaddyCool]

I hate white guys that do any sory of rapping.

[mike adamle]

Sour Patch Kids is probably my favorite song on the CD, good tune.
