i can't tell if he actually takes himself seriously, but i laugh at his music like i would Incredibad's or Flight of the Concords...

Burner of trees · 04-19-2009, 01:11 PM

word fuck this dude. he was in here in syracuse last night and a few of my friends went but i refused because, well, i don;t think hes really good.

my_scatterheart · 04-19-2009, 01:46 PM

Thumbs down on this clown

Waves · 04-19-2009, 02:20 PM

that is the faggiest shit ever

cantSEEme · 04-19-2009, 04:29 PM

this dude is the definition of a myspace rapper. he is the tila tequila of hip hop. he does have good delivery, i just really aint feelin the lyrics.

al-Mu'akhkhir · 04-19-2009, 04:56 PM

i would beat asher roth with a lead pipe
seconds after he started rapping on a dead mic

Black · 04-19-2009, 05:13 PM

^nice rhyme

why dont you guys like him? i know its impossible to ignore that hes a little bit gimmicky when you gather that he targets white suburban college kids.

hes clearly intelligent, he delivers his rhymes in an attractive way, switches up his subject flow and incorporates abstract instrumentals. hes better than most. definitely better than other rappers ive seen people support. like MOP^

Grieves · 04-19-2009, 05:15 PM

once again you are wrong...

he is a cookie cutter product for cookie cutter minds...

Black · 04-19-2009, 05:26 PM

on the other hand i would have to say a cookie cutter mind is the type of mind that sits back and attempts to classify people into groups such as those with or without "cookie cutter minds"

irrrrrrrrrrrrony

how bout this one

man like what? that guy's whole schtick is how he can't relate to hip hop. He's clearly confused as to what hip hop is actually all about (DJing, Rapping, Graffiti, Breaking, Beatboxing - the five pillars of hip hop culture fyi). I've seen him quoted as saying that he didn't relate to hip hop 'cuz he "didn't sell coke, didn't have guns, didn't blah blah blah". Hip hop ain't about that. Gangsta rap? Yeah, sure. Mainstream rap? Yeah sure. Hip Hop? Hell naw.

The cypher is about whatever you want it to be about. If you start rapping about suburban white shit because you feel you can't relate to the culture or the music, you've fundamentally "failed" something which ought to be impossible to fail at (the art of making music, it ought to be a rewarding experience in and of itself, however...).

I would lump asher roth with every man/woman/child getting into hip hop right now just for the money. All very misled people.

wrong again but nice try...

myxomatosis · 04-19-2009, 05:53 PM

Everything I've heard from this dude has been terrible, I don't see what the hype is about. I'd rather listen to Eminem, speaking of which, lol at everyone that plays that shit off, it's definitely evident on a lot of tracks.

al-Mu'akhkhir · 04-19-2009, 06:20 PM

plays what shit off.

Geeno · 04-19-2009, 06:57 PM

Ive been hatin on his ass but it's possible that he'll open more people up to hip-hop. We'll see how it goes, I'd hate to have to give him some credit.

sublimerig · 04-19-2009, 07:14 PM

i agree with the rest of you. doucher tp the max.

crookedhatinator45 · 04-19-2009, 07:25 PM

asher roth blows. i just get bad vibes from the dude. everything he does leads me to believe that the only reason he does anything is to make people think he's cooler than he actually is. nothing about him is OG. he just copies bits from lots of people.. like when video games rip off a bunch of other games' ideas and shiz. lametown.

perfect example: him sampling old weezer tracks. was it supposed to be ironic or something?

alot of whities have a style very similar to eminem, something about higher pitch in white voices or something.

and fyi if you think em has a "style" check some old cage out. like pre eminem cage.

myxomatosis · 04-19-2009, 07:49 PM

I'm all about Cage.

I don't buy the white guys all sound like Eminem argument either, that's part of playing it off. Dude sounds more like him than just being a nasally white dude.
