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.
