Pitchfork Hates Asher Roth
Asleep in the Bread Aisle got a 2.4 from Pitchfork today, which is almost worse than a 0.0.
Writer Ian Cohen’s conclusion? “Asleep feels less like an album of music meant to entertain than an assumption that you can actually bump a marketing plan in your cars and house parties. Whether or not Asher Roth is some sort of sign that hip-hop is dead, there’s no doubt that he’s proof that the music industry is still very much alive.”
And his most damning comment: “I’ll probably only get to say this once, but frat boys deserve better.”
Ou-fucking-ch!

Asher Roth is garbage! How it’s even gotten this far is unbelievable. Kind of disappointed in you guys for running him in the paper…

Good lord, asher roth is garbage of epic proportions. his beats are crap and his lyrics are sophomoric sewage. The fact that this toy has gotten the press and attention he has while heads like Cage sit in the shadows… it just fills me with rage.
Everyone! jump on the bandwagon!
ugh

I have to agree, Roth’s album is totally industry-fed garbage. Michael I agree, frat boys do deserve better, Roth wasn’t even a frat boy!
