Release Notes:
--------
Three decades after hip-hop first cracked the Top 40, white MCs remain, first
and foremost, a joke: fodder for sketch-comedy routines, YouTube parodies and
reality TV. Eminem is the exception that proves the rule, and he had to create
an outsize tragicomic persona — the trailer-trash bane of Middle America — to
justify his existence. In a culture saturated by hip-hop, shouldn't anyone be
able to spit rhymes without shame, apology or having to crack jokes about his
Star Wars action-figure collection?

Enter Asher Roth, a gangly redhead from the Philadelphia suburbs. Roth's tight,
witty debut lives up to the Internet hype that has swirled around him for
months. In the thudding "Lark on My Go-Kart," Roth calls himself a "dork" and
says he has "hair like a troll doll." But he keeps the nerd-boy self-deprecation
to a minimum and acts, you know, like a rapper: boasting nimbly (and often
hilariously) about getting girls ("Lion's Roar") and getting high ("Blunt
Cruisin'") over chipper beats by newcomer Oren Yoel. Roth's timbre and cadence
will remind listeners of Eminem, a subject he addresses head-on in "As I Em."
But he is his own man — a blithe braggart, untroubled by the need to keep it
real. And that white rapper's albatross? He dismisses it with a couplet: "My
friends said, 'Homey, you know that you're white, dude'/I said, 'What, for real?
It's all good.'"

Gonna give this a listen in a bit... not really a fan, but I hope he surprises me.

until then... im impressed

I still don't really like him, but the beats, concepts, lyrics, and overall songwriting... the album is a complete package

best debut since food and liquor (but im probably overlooking something)
