Asher to Ashes: Copywrite’s-The Real Fake Shady” (Asher Roth Diss)
I know someone will chime in with some trite, “sour grapes,” shit. But fuck it. Copywrite! “You only got signed because you sound like Shady…Impersonating Marshall but your first song sounds lazy.” “You’re reversing work Slim put in, sending us back to Ice Ice Baby.” “You’ve got to be able to spit and come with original shit, not some paved master plan, but then again the first CD you bought was Dave Matthews band.” I’m thinking of asking Copywrite to guest-blog.
Someone else will probably ask, “Who’s Copywrite?” You ought to know (no Jagged Little Pill). “June” is one of the best rap songs of the decade, And Copywrite’s MhZ work with Camu Tao and RJD2, is stellar. Like Evidence’s anti-Eminem screed, “Searching 4 Bobby Fisher,” this Asher Roth diss will do nothing to stem the deluge we’re about to witness–at least, if I’m to believe the publicist updates about how Roth sold 240k digital downloads of “I Love College,” last week. Still, rules are rules: you should not be allowed to make music if your first CD was Dave Matthews Band.

I could’ve sworn I once reviewed a Soul Position show positively in ‘06, but I can’t find it anywhere in the archives. We’ll have to talk Reds in Austin. Or mourn their season before it starts. When Arthur Rhodes is your premier off-season acquisition…

Much as I hate Asher, I cannot in good conscience support anything Copyright does, June aside. Getting punked by iCon The Mic King and Esoteric (of all people) is nearly as bad as listening to DMB.

The story I heard about “June” was that Copy fought long and hard to do that track because back then MHz wanted no parts of a song that wasn’t battle-oriented or shit-talking. If he would’ve made more personal joints, Copy had the potential to be the bridge between the “emo rap” and the Fondle ‘Em era.
Even though I’ve heard he’s a meta-asshole, Copy’s “The High Exhaulted” is a fierce lyrical beatdown of an album. Completely one-sided, but the man could motherfucking SPIT on that record!

Asher doesn’t want any part of beef with Copywrite.

[…] better. A lot of people think it should be a whole lot better, apparently, as Mr. Roth, is already appearing on the receiving end of dis tracks, but I don’t begrudge the man his unapologetic honkiness–hey, Crash was […]

[…] frat guys can belt after shot-gunning half a case of Natty, and has Roth fielding nicknames like The Real Fake Shady along with hopes that perhaps his persona is merely Jamie Kennedy’s latest reality […]
