check out Asher Roth

Yo this dude is a seriously good rapper.  He doesn't exactly look the part, but that doesn't really matter any more.  Hip hop is going in a direction where it's important to have the talent and this guy definitely has it.  He sounds similar to Eminem, although he is nothing like Em and has his own style and "I don't give a fuck" swag.  Asher Roth is headed for the top and you don't want to sleep on this dude.  Look up his mixtape "The Green House Effect" and download it for free.  Check out his blog thedailykush.com too.  He's one hilarious and intelligent rapper who went to college and is damn proud.
