S-Sin – you’re seriously an idiot. Not only because your points weren’t founded on anything and it was 100% clear that you haven’t listened to Roth’s album which is completely different from em’s, but also because you can’t form full sentences. Take it from somebody who has listened thoroughly to both artists – they are completely different. I know there’s no getting through to you, but go give Roth’s album a listen rather than saying that somehow his rap sounds like his dad pays for everything. People that make unfounded comments like you do make my head hurt.

Bron42 – I understand that you might see similarities in the flow of those two songs and I can kind of see that, but you honestly have to give the rest of his tracks a listen. Em and Asher are really completely different rappers with different messages to get across. Just give the album a few listens through. I really think you’ll hear the difference between the two.

Dial Up – no good songs… that’s why SRC/Universal, Def Jam, Atlantic, and Warner Bros. all wanted to sign him. That’s why Jay-Z wanted to sign him. I guess now we’re assuming Jay-Z has no ear for a good rapper. Feel free to write a lengthy paragraph explaining why Jay-Z has no ear for talent. I can’t wait to hear this. Please, take your time.

Hinrich, Marjele, Kerr – kinda odd that he’s only a fan of white players…

Hinrich, Majerle and Kerr? What a poser.

Anyway, the reason this guy comes off “down to earth” is that he thought he was going to blow up mainstream, but he’s so far from legit that nobody took him seriously and bought his stuff, and very few actually know who the hell he is. You’re seeing a humbled man.

I think he was counting on people making a big deal of him ripping off Eminem — he even made a song about it — and maybe even getting Em to pop off about it. But appropriately, neither Em nor anybody else cared.

@soopa, ya if every black rapper sounded exactly like run dmc and had the same exact style, ya…u could say that… his whole flow is just biting of ems, but if you wanna turn him into the next white hope, knock urself out..but don’t make it like hes breakin the mold when his whole gimmick is the same slow, dorky gimmick eminem first did just minus the ghetto side.

p.s: and i’ll be the first to admit, 90% of rap these days, black or white is junk…i mean come on, theres people who actually say soulja boy and guys like B-hamp are the future of rap…the future.

This guy is a horrible rapper. Mtv seriously is trying to pump this guy as the next white hype. For rappers. Too bad he has no good songs. At least that music fans would listen too.

So another white rapper is about to break onto the scene and already the Em copy cat rumours are being thrown around lol
I agree a comparison can be made, but an Eminem rip off? OKay, so every black rapper is a Run DMC rip off. Yeah i said it!

His mixtape was one of the betters ones to come out and i liked it alot, cant wait for his next one. Tho no one can touch Kid Cudi at the moment!

@Ashlov, ur kidding right…everything from voice to how he builds his verses is early marshall mathers…like if u compare “my name is” and “i love college” its that same dorky flow and they sound almost the same…just cuz em is violent doesnt mean ash isn’t biting..just not as creative.
