G.R.I.N.D

I just finished listening to Asher’s new song G.R.I.N.D. . I have to say, this is one heck of a pick-me-up song. I believe that this is one of Asher’s greatest songs so far. I now understand why he took almost two years to put anything new out. It sounds like he put a lot of thought into the song. I like how he doesn’t have the same sound as other rappers. What Roth raps about is real. He doesn’t rap about drugs, sex, and money. He raps about life. Here’s the link to the new song. ENJOY!:)

Is Asher trying to be Eminem?

It’s been debated that Asher Roth and Eminem sound too much alike. Is Roth trying to shadow Eminem?  Here’s what Asher has to say about the comparison in a 2009 interview with an internet blogging website.

Asher Roth: Eminem's arguably the best that ever did it. I could put up a valid argument on why he is. I can't be mad at a comparison like that. Any white kid who grew in my generation and listened to hip-hop music is lying if they said they weren't inspired and influenced by Eminem. But I'm almost 15 years younger; I'm a voice of a different generation. People are always going to compare something new to something they've previously experienced - unfortunately there’s not many other artists to compare me to.

Asher goes on to say in his song “As I Em” “Em (Eminem) was great, 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. All day long,”
