Pop Culture: Adam Graham forum

PLEASE ADAM!!

Do not promote the hack that is Asher Roth. As a fan of real hip hop he makes me cringe. He is at best a poor mans Eminem and at worst the antichrist.

He is not the worst rapper in the world, but he lacks any real substance and I can already feel the hype machine brewing and if he blows up I might have to go on a prescription pill diet.

I wouldn't even have THAT much of a problem with this tool if A. His style was not ripped straight from Mr. Mathers (Not because he is white but because his style is clearly a forgery, sans crazy killing mom raping people talk).

B. "I Love College" was not the most blatantly obvious attempt to make a "classic" song I've ever seen. OMG COLLEGE !!!!!!! Sorry I'm not a high school senior so keg stands and "doing something crazy" don't really stimulate my mind.

Please use your time to promote real hip hop such as the inexplicable linking of the best underground rappers in the world that has lead to Slaughterhouse.

Joe Budden, Crooked I, Joell Ortiz and Detroit's own Royce da 5'9" will stimulate your mind more with one verse then Asher Roth and Rick Ross could if they were in graduate school.(man I love college)
