White Boys Still Rap, Who Knew?
My dude Sohh Gyant mentioned this kid Asher Roth on his blog today. So, I checked out dude’s music and his myspace page, and I second his skills (not that anyone really gives a fux what I think, but they should…at least I think so). The White Rapper Show set white rappers back about 10 years, so I didn’t expect to take any Caucasian emcees seriously until 2018 (with the exception of Yelawolf), but I’m convinced Asher Roth is the real deal. Word on the street net is Steve Rifkind just signed Roth to SRC/Universal (home of Akon, David Banner and Wu Tang) and the dude is working on some stuff with the Aphilliates’ Don Cannon.
Just off the fact that Asher Roth can rap and he seems to have the college white hoes promiscuous girls on lock, I’m giving him the R.E. cosign. It’ll probably be impossible for him to shake the Eminem comparisons but his school boy image and college kid content is a far cry from Slim Shady’s catalog and I likes.
Peep tracks below:

I’ll post more on Asher as it becomes available, and we’ll see if he pans out or not.

Couldn’t get into that Wil May cat. But like Nas said it before, “no ideas original, there’s nothing new under the sun/it’s never what you do but how it’s done.”

Im so tired of haterz…so im hear to destroy you. One, ja rule and dmx sounded alike at first. This kid is like 15 to 20 years younger than Em, and Em is at the end of his career so its wide open for this kid, plus his swagger and style are different. Two he is nice as hell, and three that kid Will May is garbage, he cant rap and his music sounds nothing like the white boy. How you gonna say hes borrowing his style, because he went to college? SHit alot of kids went to college. In that case Will is stealing from Kanye, and they all got influenced by every college movie ever. Shutup you losers, this kid is the truth, Im with the bloggers on this one. stop hating and start praising. Fuck…Ash you nice as hell…keep your head up
