Idiot kid with a lack of musical/lyrical talent and a multbillion dollar corporation packaging him as the next Eminem.

In virtually everywhere else the 'Z' that us Americans pronounce as "Zee" is pronounced "Zed".  So Jay-Z(ee) becomes Jay-Z(ed).

I knew that I was just wondering if they actually called him zed even though his name is technically pronounced Zee

I like the random shit he raps about, it's different... He and my brother used to kick it in High School (don't know if they are still in touch) and I remember when my brother was into it with them, writing rhymes and filling up notebook paper and fucking around with the computer doing some shitty recordings...

Asher just took it further than that, and it's pretty cool hearing the philly/morrisville accent



Like I mean I really could give a shit about how straight gangster somebody is, and how much money they have, and how many bitches they get...

I like Ashers shit because he raps about simple stuff like getting to the airport, getting on the plane, getting in the hotel etc. It's actually a pretty funny song because I can relate to all that

I like Ashers mindset, if you read some of the shit he says, he talks about the industry and how south its gone...

I remember hearing something along the lines of him saying, "Rappers these days talk about all the money they make and the fancy things they own, but how much of that actually goes to charity? You shouldn't be proud that you have all this wealth to yourself when there are so many poor and less fortunate people than you in the world."



And on the whole Eminem comparison...

That Eminem comparison is barely accurate/My rapping is as passionate, but lacks the psychopath of it

So different, the image, they don't get it
It's simple, I'm just a kid who wants to rap to make a living
But Em was in it way before I committed
And his lyrics were the shit so I really gotta come with it (gotta go hard)
But each critic be picking apart my writtens
If it isn't up to par than Asher Paul is just a gimmick (fucking joke)
Is it my fault? Must I be more convincing?
Y'all talk all ya want, never halt me from my mission



......



But until you take my place, you'll never know bout what it takes
To make a record for respect, take a second to inspect
When you look like someone else, then what the fuck do you expect?
I just want to be accepted as the illest in the game
But it's harder for an artist creating his own lane

Now back on topic about how much Asher Roth sucks.

You make an interesting point.

Also Australians call Blink 182, "Blink One Eight Two", we also call then "Wankers" and "Faggots".

edit: the latter two labels do not apply to Travis Barker.

So if I rapped about going to the bus stop, you'd ride my dick too?

Awesome.

..But seriously, you have to be ignorant as shit if you think most rappers try to be "gangsta".
