The track I know most folks are anticipating has sprung a leak (sort of). The first verse has hit the internets thanks to ThisIsCutris. Ash lays it all out on this track. The comparisons to Eminem, etc. Chester French on the hook. Are ya’ll ready for Asleep in the Bread Aisle? I’m telling you the album is fuckin ridiculous. 4/20! Lyrics after the jump…
DOWNLOAD: Asher Roth – As I Em [Snippet] | Mediafire
I was in 7th grade when I heard the Slim Shady LP/ Yea, my mom brought it down when I was ironing… irony/ Getting out the wrinkles, just a little kid in middle school/ Sink my teeth into anything, to think I’m cool/ Riding the bus, Ifeel the rush from I Still Don’t Give a Fuck/ I wish I could agree, but I’ve already had enough/ I’ve already given up, from playing the same game/ Every interview, feel like I’m saying the same thing/ Em was great, yea he paved the way for me/ He was inspiration for everyone from A to Z/ But they keep relating me, I can’t get away, chasing me/ Now the masses think that Asher wants to be a Marshall Mathers/ They say “Asher’s not a rapper, nah his ass is just an actor”/ Cause we have the same complexion and similar voice inflection/ It’s easy to see the pieces and reach for that connection/ Each second of every minute, each hour of every day/ I’m constantly on the fense, defending my own name/ Explaining we’re not the same / There”s not much that I can say, except that I’m sick of it/ Critics, I’ve only sparked up a flame, it’s on…
While we’re on the topic of Asher Roth, he recently chopped it up with DJBooth.net about his album title, whether or not he’ll be able to find an audience in the inner-city streets, reverse-racism, guest feature decisions and crazy college stories.
DAMN i got excited as fuck seeing this shit..cant wait for the album
i really do think its gonna be amazing..nice verse too but i think the beat makes it..really really dope.
this CD will be illegally downloaded by me. Asher needs to make me a believer, Im not impressed with gimmics.
Like I do with all albums if I like I will def support Asher.
Yo really like idk even if its just me i dont give a uck every song this kids has done whether its remixin its his mr. me too shit (fire) green house effect…..asleep in the bread aisle come on big ups to oren yel to im out peace
That was a pretty cool snippet, can’t wait to listen to the full song. Ashers impressing me with his music latley I’ll definatley have to check out Asleep in the Bread Aisle.
I am sick of the comparisons as well Asher.
Yo this shit goes hard.. Asher Roth is THAT dude! People gonna hate but hey people hated Jesus and look at him now!
I told myself I wasent gonna cop his album when he dropped his first single because im in college and I got all these no rap kids actin like this rap legend (sorta like weezy), but after all this new shit… Imma cop. I’m madd excited!
For Sure I’m Copping Ive Been On This Train Since Day 2. Asleep In The Bread Aisle. Is That DA On The Hook?
C’mon, it’s not going to be that great…
The hook is dope, but I’m pretty tired of that flow.
This dude is an animal on the mic. What gimmicks? If our going to accuse Roth of gimmicks then you should call out 95% of hip-hop then. Asleep in The bread Aisle. the first classic out of this new generation!
This is sick. I really don’t know what ya’ll want from dude. He’s nice.
Nice homage to Em…Asher is actually growing on me…
yeah i dont know about this… his flow is just too much like em’s… atleast he aint using auto tune…
http://eardrumspop.blogspot.com/
How is this flow like Eminem’s? Have you fuckin heard his single?
dood is nice
shabba stop posting your wack ass blog everywhere…
but Asher is nice. i thought I Love College was kinda douchey, and re-leasing his album on 4-20 is super douchey…..but i’ve been feeling everything i’ve heard from the album so far, will most likely buy it
Asher got a little out of me with this one.
And some idiot in here just compared him to Jesus. Thats just stupid
DOPE!! Cant wait for 4-20
yeaaaaa im coppin’
hes impressed me and im sold on his shit
you can tell hes just gettin started
imagine how much better he can only get?!
..im still coppin that Relapse though…lol
Yeah, how did everyone let that slide??!! They just compared him to Jesus… at Easter!!! Well at least they’re both Jewish (I’m assuming anyone named Roth has gotta be Jewish, that is…).
call me a hater if u wanna but i just don’t get the hype surroundinding this kid… whatever
This was dope. Asher is coming with heat every time. Greenhouse was solid. The songs that have leaked from the album are dope. Only song that I thought he dropped the ball on was Silly Boy. That’s not a bad ‘good to wack’ ratio though.
i used to be an eminem/asher roth comparer (so not a word) but now i can really see that he has a totally different message and outlook than eminem, the music is way different and he just seems like a chill white dude. i wish that some of the other freshman would blow up like he has because i feel like some of them have more talent than him but he has more appeal cuz hes white so whatev. in conclusion, ill ride with ash roth, but lord knows im illegally downloading first, then copping
its goood to see hes handling all the comparisons the way he is, by making a good song, rather than making an ass of himself, flipping out on someone, or dissing eminem or anything.
Respect.
CAN YOU SPELL GARBAGE! THAT’S WHAT THIS IS DUMPSTER JUICE!!
CAN’T BELIEVE Y’ALL EVEN ENTERTAIN THIS PIECE OF SHIT THAT’S CALLED MUSIC.

You’re an idiot I hope that 3000 isn’t for Andre3K if so stop listening to him immediately you’ve been revoked
I Love This Fucking ALBUM! Should I leak it or should i not? that is the question!
hey the link has been reported, can Shake or someone Re-Up?
stop sucking Em’s dick….
Man this kid is so average. I don’t understand why white people love him so much, he’s so corny.
If this guy was black, his own mother wouldn’t even be a fan.
SUPPORT ASH ROTH! RESPEK.
For real, He’s his own artist. If all your going to do is criticize him then why even listen
gimmicks? like retiring before you “start”….haha
asher is a genius at putting words 2gether on this rap shit. i mean this dude been rappin how long? and look, he’s puttin’ established niggaz flow and wordplay to shame. dude went TOE-To-TOE if not did better than BEANIE SIGEL on perfectionist. plus he’s lyrical. and he’s gettin’ major production. what more can a hip-hop fan ask for?
The album is dope, straight up.
As I Em is probably my 5th favorite track on the album… But, like any dope album, my favorites shift depending on my mood / the listen.
Get ready for “Asleep In The Bread Aisle”.
@kindbuddy
He’s very average homie and way overrated and I used the name with “3000″ way before Dre changed his name before ATLiens.
I just don’t see what else can he really rap about… when these topics that have no substance what is he gonna rap about; NOTHING!
It’s funny when someone who can actually rhyme like a true mc and is up and coming we call them overatted but when we have average mc’s who try to add off key singing, weird lyrics, weird story lines with no direction etc. we call them talented and creative.
I’m just tired of us praising mediocre rappers, calling poetic spitters overrated and give wak rappers a pass by saying “it’s music” or “he’s getting his money”
We want consistent music but we’re not consistent fans of hip-hop cause we allow anything with open arms. Then when it becomes tiresome we shun it.
ASher Roth is nice on the mic. i still love “The Lounge.” People just hate because they don’t understand it. Asher is on some other shit. some of us get it, some don’t. We all agree that the shit on the radio is garbage. half these hip hop sites support garbage rappers. so time to move on to some different shit.

hallelujah, someone spoke the truth
yeah, greenhouse effect was decent, the lounge is the only song from that tape that got me paying attention to him still, that track was awesome, i hope the album has some chill ass beats like that.

The beats and sampling makes this track pure ecstasy. Not to mention, the realness in his lyrics.
Asher’s not gonna have thick enough skin to make it too long in hip-hop. He complains about the comparisons to Em when his voice sounds the same, pitch-perfect. complains about people saying he’s not a rapper when he has said himself he’s “not even a rapper.”
