It sounds like some shit you hear at a party where people are drunk enough to think they can freestyle. Good lord, how can anyone say he's dope after hearing that garbage. I'd love to see Jadakiss, Immortal Technique or anybody with freestyle skills battle him face to face (especially copywrite).

But Asher Roth is cringefully bad, dunno how he's garnered so much hype whilst still spitting such basic bars. It's not like i was even expecting much of him in the first place, but i've got no time for any eminem comparisons, they've got completely different styles for one thing, nevermind the chasm between them in terms of ability!!

For the most part the album is better than the single. He HAS TO cater to non hard core hip hop fans....this single is that. He'll give the hard core hip hop fans other treats on the album cuts.

Even if he was Indian or El Salvadorian he would still get the same treatment. It's his voice... i've already commented on this b4, but it needs to be reitterated. Asher will most likely be out the game sooner than most think to put it bluntly. I think if you have skills it really doesn't matter what skin tone you posess.

Race doesn't matter here, yeah, they are both white, but why does that matter? Why does their skin color automatically make them similar Hip Hop wise? The majority of emcees in Hip Hop are African American or of some similar ethnicity, but I haven't seen anyone instantly compare Lupe Fiasco to Rakim or DOOM just because they have the same skin color. From what I've heard, Asher Roth is nothing to take seriously. His single is innocent and his rhymes in that song lack any type of distinction or importantance. However, Asher Roth as an emcee is something that I can not deduct, because I have not listened to his work. I would say that Eminem is light years ahead of where Asher Roth is. Eminem has a small library but it has quality. I am by no means undermining Asher Roth. I'm disagreeing with the general avid Hip Hop populous that compares a novice to a veteran just because they have similar skin color. I don't compare Aesop Rock to Asher Roth, or Eminem, based on skin color. They are all above average emcees trying to give people a message about things that occur on earth. So, this is pretty unnecessary, the whole comparison thing. Of course, ignorant Hip Hop listeners will instantly compare Asher Roth to Eminem.
