Woke me up in the local WonderBread Discount Store!!!
) 
I heard one song off this CD and decided to check out the rest. I found a great price on it on ebay and decided to give it a shot. At first I was taken away by the beats and lyrics that were coming from this goofy white dude from Pennsylvania but wanted to listen to the entire thing before jumping to conclusions. TO my surprise, the entire CD was pretty good and I still listen to it's entirety while driving, cleaning, or just chilling on my porch!!
Asher Roth by himself is pretty genius by himself with his lyrics and you also get the added pleasure of guest appearances including Busta Rhymes!! The CD isn't too long or too short and the songs all differ enough to keep it interesting.
I can't play this though around my kids as the lyrical nature is very college oriented but I can't complain as I can relate to them.
All around a solid purchase and I am looking forward to any future albums he puts out.

) "Asleep In The Bread Aisle" is technically Asher Roth's debut album. Although his first professional release was on June 13, 2008 when the DJ Drama and Don Cannon's "The Greenhouse Effect" mixed tape was released for free via Roth’s website. His earliest release was labeled "Believe the Hype" another mixed tape.
I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting much from Asher Roth's "Asleep in the Bread Aisle". But it was surprisingly good. I really enjoyed this CD. His rapping sounds a lot like Eminem but the content is much different. His vocals are crisp and clear and his songs are very relate able. His lyrics are extremely witty and clever.
On a side note, with Asher Roth being a white performer in a predominantly black musical genre, Roth is constantly being compared to Eminem, so much so that he addresses it in the Cd, the song is titled "As I Em."
Anyway, I highly recommend this CD.
Track list:
1 "Lark on My Go-Kart"
2 "Blunt Cruisin'"
3 "I Love College"
4 "La Di Da"
5 "Be by Myself"
6 "She Don't Wanna Man"
7 "Sour Patch Kids"
8 "As I Em"
9 "Lion's Roar"
10 "Bad Day"
11 "His Dream"
12 "Fallin'"
13 "Perfectionist"
14 "The Lounge"
15 "Y.O.U."
