Asher Roth is Reppin' For The Suburbs!

Asher Roth is a cultural revelation, I mean who has heard of a white boy rapper from the suburbs? My favorite nickname I’ve heard him called is the “yacht-club rapper.” Inevitably, everyone keeps comparing him to Eminem, but the truth is he has a completely different style.

His first mixtape, The Greenhouse Effect produced with DJ Drama and DJ Cannon, is smart but light. He does not try to be something that he’s not, and he does not take himself too seriously.

Admittedly, it does throw you for a loop the first time you see it, such uninhibited flow coming out of the grinning mouth of a skinny kid with freckles, hearing rap lyrics like “harry potter don't you try nothin tricky / muggles befuddled by my wizardry!"

Asher Roth is no joke. Not only is he talented, but he knows exactly what he’s doing: “You know the world’s gone mad when the blacks wear plaid and Mariah has married Nick Cannon / or when a boy from the burbs has the nerve to converge on a mixtape with DJ Cannon.”

So far my favorite thing from him is his "A Milli" freestyle verse he did on radio, he proclaims, “A mill-i-on here a mill-i-on there / yeah you got a mill but for real dawg nowbody cares /f’ it if your not gonna share you don’t donate to charity children who can barely eat no shoes on their feet”. Speak it! Eminem has never and will never be this real and hard, no matter how many times Feminem kills his ex-wife and his mother.

Check out his new mixtape and his new video "I Love College" which is already climbing up the iTunes charts and will undoubtly become every college students party anthem!
