  28. Release Notes:
  29. --------
  30. Three decades after hip-hop first cracked the Top 40, white MCs remain, first
  31. and foremost, a joke: fodder for sketch-comedy routines, YouTube parodies and
  32. reality TV. Eminem is the exception that proves the rule, and he had to create
  33. an outsize tragicomic persona ù the trailer-trash bane of Middle America ù to
  34. justify his existence. In a culture saturated by hip-hop, shouldn't anyone be
  35. able to spit rhymes without shame, apology or having to crack jokes about his
  36. Star Wars action-figure collection?
  37.  
  38. Enter Asher Roth, a gangly redhead from the Philadelphia suburbs. Roth's tight,
  39. witty debut lives up to the Internet hype that has swirled around him for
  40. months. In the thudding "Lark on My Go-Kart," Roth calls himself a "dork" and
  41. says he has "hair like a troll doll." But he keeps the nerd-boy self-deprecation
  42. to a minimum and acts, you know, like a rapper: boasting nimbly (and often
  43. hilariously) about getting girls ("Lion's Roar") and getting high ("Blunt
  44. Cruisin'") over chipper beats by newcomer Oren Yoel. Roth's timbre and cadence
  45. will remind listeners of Eminem, a subject he addresses head-on in "As I Em."
  46. But he is his own man ù a blithe braggart, untroubled by the need to keep it
  47. real. And that white rapper's albatross? He dismisses it with a couplet: "My
  48. friends said, 'Homey, you know that you're white, dude'/I said, 'What, for real?
  49. It's all good.'"
