Comments on: LA Times: Asher Roth’s–”Asleep in the Bread Aisle” http://passionweiss.com/2009/04/22/la-times-asher-roths-asleep-in-the-bread-aisle/ Because I'm naughty by nature, not cause I hate 'cha Sat, 21 Nov 2009 10:40:43 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.2 By: guodisdoug http://passionweiss.com/2009/04/22/la-times-asher-roths-asleep-in-the-bread-aisle/#comment-93160 guodisdoug Wed, 22 Apr 2009 23:39:58 +0000 http://passionweiss.com/2009/04/22/la-times-asher-roths-asleep-in-the-bread-aisle/#comment-93160 Did Asher Roth win some kind of contest that I didn't hear about? I absolutely do not understand why anyone likes this garbage. Why couldn't Em have have dressed up like Asher in "we made you" and...oh nevermind. Glad you and pitchfork are on the same page Weiss. And thanks for getting the Stonecutters song stuck in my head. Did Asher Roth win some kind of contest that I didn’t hear about? I absolutely do not understand why anyone likes this garbage.

"Not that bad" or "decent for what it is" is as high as the proponents that I've read get.

Homeboy Asher is playing a record release party tonight at World Cafe Live here in Philly, in the same building where the radio station WXPN I work at is. I'll be at the show, to see this crazy thing live. My peeps in Philly are indeed split by the Asher Roth phenom, me? I don't have a position yet, but I'm always curious about the "experience." Number one on iTunes don't mean shit to me, either, thankyou. As a blogger or even as a radio guy. Jus sayin' - Bruce As always, great review.

I couldn't agree more, especially the part about his "attempt to repudiate Eminem comparisons ("Way I Em,") made futile by an eerie emulation of Eminem's singular timbre and rhyme schemes." If you look vaguely like Eminem, and sound vaguely like Eminem, and don't really seem to be trying hard not to have a different flow than Eminem, it's hardly fair to complain about being called "derivative."
