Asher Roth: A New Voice in Hip Hop

Asher Roth is a new hip hop artists rocking out for college kids everywhere with his new popular song I Love College. However there's a lot more to his new released, debut album that came out on April 20th. Asher Roth, much like Eminem, is one of the few caucasian rappers "in the game," so to speak. In Asher Roth's song As I Em, he raps about how he is sick of being compared to Eminem and about how he is trying to make a name for himself. One of my favorite songs by Ash Roth is Falling. It explains how he get into the rap game and it just kind of goes through his life, and tells of how he started his love for hip hop. The beat to it is pretty calm and chill too so I like it. Asher Roth also has a song called Lark on my Go-Kart which is pretty sweet. It's one of his more funnier and joking around songs. Overall I think Asher Roth is really good at what he does and what's best about him is that he's not tryin to be someone else. Instead of doing the whole "thug rap" kind of thing, he's just doin his own thing; which is why i think people will like him, however this is why alot of people will not think much of him. But being an individual is important when making your own music so props to Asher Roth. So in turn, what i'm really trying to say, is check this guy out.
