Asleep in the Bread Aisle by Asher Roth

The second-coming of sorts to literate white MCs like Paul Barman, Asher Roth's full-length debut came heavily hyped, thanks to his appearance on a DJ Drama mixtape and a stamp of approval from Jay-Z. Given Roth's knack for wordplay and arcane references, ASLEEP IN THE BREAD AISLE could have been more subversive. It's often difficult to discern when the suburban Pennsylvanian is sending up the trappings of the hip-hop lifestyle. Either way, he's learned his lessons well from heroes like Eminem; the class-clown chatterbox flow matches up well with the alterna-pop production and left-of-center guest spots by Cee-Lo and Jazze Pha. ASLEEP is at times contrived, but displays the talents of a rapper with the potential for something unique.

Quite frankly, I didn’t get the hullabaloo about Asher Roth. I didn’t get it when DJ Drama and Don Cannon endorsed him with production in his Greenhouse Effect Mixtape.

Pros Asher Roth shows potential as an adept storyteller ("His Dream" and...
Cons ...but he wastes it on frat boy anthems, drug songs, and poor social-political babble.
Recommended it? No

As a white rapper, getting noticed by your peers is an easy task. But earning their respect is a whole different story. Perhaps the biggest hurdle of in the career of the white rapper is the eventual comparison to Eminem. Yep, I've said it before and I'll say it again: despite how you sound,... Read full review »

Pros That party last night, was awfully crazy...
Cons Good friends are not all you need, Asher: talent would also help.
Recommended it? No

Asher Roth is not particularly talented. His flow is a groggy, half-asleep monotone. He rhymes "champion" with "beer pong," and he fails colossally at things that great rappers do with ease: save-the-world sociopolitical ruminations ("Sour Patch Kids"), heartfelt introspection ("La Di Da"),...
