Reflections and Musings on Good Rap Music

I sit here, the only one at the house, drying laundry and waiting to go housesit.

So, I decided to throw Asher Roth's Asleep in the Bread Aisle on. Oh. My. Goodness. This is a super legit album.

This album is a throwback to what hip-hop and rap used to be -- creative, energetic rhyming about whatever you see around you. Yes, a lot of rap is dominated by bling, girls, and drugs. But there is a select amount of hip-hop that has a message, or at least a topic base that is original and unique. Roth represents this select amount of hip-hop with Asleep...

On a side note, where did Busta Rhymes go, and why has he just randomly appeared on Roth's album?

Hip-hop like this inspires me to get back into writing, but I know I will get caught up in the generic and unoriginal again. Oh well, I can live vicariously through legitimate albums like this.

Definitely pick up this album. Asher Roth is a legitimate emcee, and definitely does his thing.

And always remember, real hip-hop is not played on the radio.
