Asleep In The Bread Aisle - Asher Roth

“Asleep in the Bread Aisle” is the debut album from Pennslyvanian rapper Asher Roth. It was released in April 2009 through Universal records but didn’t do particularly well anywhere outside the US. However there was a lot of internet hype over him in the run up to release. I decided I had to at least give his album a listen (because the internet is NEVER wrong) to satisfy my own curiosity more than having a liking for any of his music. Quite the ...
...Love College”, and I probably should have took that as a hint that I wouldn’t like his album either. Roth has two things that set him apart from the vast majority of other rappers: his skin complexion (he’s white); and his upbringing (middle class suburbs). His skin tone will draw inevitable comparisons with Eminem, and Roth addresses this subject on track number eight of this album. He stays true to his upbringing throughout too, never trying to ...

Review of Asleep In The Bread Aisle - Asher Roth

Asher Roth, the Pennsylvania Hip Hopper, broke through with lots of underground hits through 2006 to 2008 before dropped this, his 2009 commercial debut “Asleep In The Bread Aisle” in which the man, often (wrongly) compared to Eminem, shows how Hip Hop can be adapted to things others than the Gangsta lifestyle in this modern time and still be effective as he raps what he considers to come straight from his middle-classed upbringing, a far-cry from ...
...Go Kart” Getting things going you immediately here where some of his influences have come from with a start which could have come from Slick Rick (a person he would come to collaborate with as a bonus) before he raps about lots of things which most MCs of today would never have come up with.

Review of Asleep In The Bread Aisle - Asher Roth

*this is also on my Dooyoo.com account* Asher Roths album is a good, addictive album, its not perfect however. There are many good songs on this album. I think "Lark on my go-kart" and "blunt cruisin'" may be my favorites. Any song that chants "hide the weed" has a thumbs up from me! Although I don't think "Blunt Cruisin'" will be for everyone, especially if you are anti-weed. That brings me onto a bad point about the album. I don't think there ...
...or another. While i am in no way anti-weed, i do think it was a bit much. I could imagine this becoming a problem if a you are young and you parents hear some of the lyrics. But it really isn't too bad, it just seems a bit much at times. Some of the lyrics are great in the album; "Mario Kart skills are outrageous, Play me any day and I'll be the best racist, Wait no erase it, Meant to say a racer". While this album is not for everyone, i loved it. ...
