Music news Asher Roth responds to Eminem comparisons with 'As I Em'
Posted by Rodney Carmichael @Rappin_Rodney on Thu, Mar 26, 2009 at 1:30 PM
Album reviews are already trickling in for Atlanta-based Asher Roth — the industry's pick for the next white rapper to blow. (Incidentally, he's managed by Atlantan Scooter Braun, who was the subject of a Creative Loafing cover story in 2006.) Roth's debut, Asleep in the Bread Aisle, is scheduled to be released in mid-April.
A quickie review from RapRadar.com focuses on the song, "As I Em," on which Roth addresses the rampant Eminem comparisons he's garnered:
As I EmHere's the one that's gonna get the Internets crazy. Roth goes right at it and addresses the elephant in the room. That's right the Em is for Eminem as Roth breaks down the comparisons and pours out his heart and soul. Can see the line of journalists waiting to ask Marshall what he thinks of the record now.
Read the full review. Stay tuned to CL for an upcoming Asher Roth feature.
