Music reviews of Asleep in the Bread Aisle
Music Review: Eminem? No...but he's still worth the listen
Rating: 3 Stars
As with a lot of new artists now days it is difficult to pinpoint what sort of material to expect from them when all we hear is what the record label wants us to hear to obtain that first impression. Well, if you were one who was in the mixtape market you would know that Asher Roth dropped a mixtape last year with DJ Drama and DJ Cannon entitled "The Green House Effect." It is this mixtape where Asher attempted to get the respect to the true hip-hop heads. It showed that the dude can actually rhyme with skill and cleverness. "The Lounge" and "Start the Show" are two tracks from that mixtape that show a clearer picture of who he is as an artist than the single that came out for "Asleep in the Bread Aisle," which was "I Love College."
However, after you get through "I Love College" there are some very well put together songs that make up his official debut album. "Fallin'" is my favorite track on the album and shows Asher rhyme over a Nottz beat. Within this track he reminisces on how he found to love the art of hip-hop. I can relate a lot to this track. "His Dream" is another song which Asher sheds his reputation from "I Love College." In this track, he expresses how he was influenced by his dad, but took a different path because he was influenced by hip-hop more. Another great track.
From there though, the album goes back to play with some disposable songs which I think are more label influenced than Asher's own intentions. "Lark in My Go-Kart," "Bad Day," "Blunt Cruisin'," are all tracks specifically for the feel good audience. It will remind listeners of Eminem's own "comical" tracks which made up of most of Eminem's last album, "The Eminem Show."
And with all albums, there must be a club banger in there somewhere and that is where the "She Don't Want a Man" comes in. And actually, the song is not a bad song. It is probably the most radio/club friendly song on the album and will probably be an eventual single.
"As I Em" is a song directed directly to the critics who believe this young man is trying to take Eminem's fans. It is something that needs to be said by Asher to clear it all up. It's a good track.
All in all the album is not a bad album by any means. A lot of people will be turned off of Asher by getting the misconception that he is trying to take Eminem's spot. He is NOT Eminem. He will never be. He is still a great MC who will entertain you.
