In Asher Roth‘s exclusive interview with our own DJ Z (set to hit our front page this coming Thursday), the young buzzmaker states with confidence that his debut album will reveal that he’s much more than than the beer-pong champion he portrayed himself as in I Love College.  In this newly-released iTunes bonus track, for example, Roth reveals that, under the fratboy facade, he is in fact a musical PerfectionistLark On My Go Kart producer Oren Yoel serves up a midtempo guitar-and-synth instrumental as Roth proves the title true, spitting verses that, though they certainly won’t put an end to the Eminem comparisons (another subject discussed in the forthcoming interview), sound more precise and driven than ever.  Complete with a hard-nosed closing verse by Beanie Sigel and a hook by Konvict Muzik up-and-comers Rock City, Perfectionist is sure to spur digital downloads of Asleep in the Bread Aisle when it hits iTunes (as well as record shops everywhere) on 4/20.

Alright, after Spring Break in Panama City I am COMPLETELY sick of "I Love College" and I've been waiting for Asher Roth to phase out. This right here changed my opinions on the guy - this is an actual hip hop record unlike his other humorous pop tracks. Really surprised he pulled Sigel on this one, and everything was on point. Def in rotation right here.

Agree with everything "cb126405" said. This was an actual hip-hop song rather than a more poppish feel like his other songs. It was tight.

How anyone would not think he sounds like Eminem is beyond me. Then again, my rating goes beyond the similarity... Asher has his own personality... spit trough an Eminem-like voice! -.-' It just is! I don't like him less because of that though, maybe he can't help it. I like his flow and lyrics, and that's what matters.
I'm curious about this producer who's suppose to handle production of the majority of the album. Fresh, solid sound as for now.

This has solid production and Asher Roth keeps bringing hot music. The hook sounds solid too and even though Asher Roth and Beanie Sigel are a creative combo it works. Overall this is legit!

Asher's a beast; no denying it. It's easy to see why this would be a bonus track though; I've heard most of the album by now and this isn't exactly up-to-par. It's in rotation.

OK everyone...you all know how I feel about this dude sounding so much like Eminem and its just so hard for me to look past it, because he doesn't really sound this way when he talks, but I will say that this is not Garbage. His lyrics are decent and the production is pretty good. The chorus is Aight. It's just too much of a flow and sound-alike issue for me to ignore.

Really solid flow, catchy hook by my R. City boyz, and great to hear Sigel get down with another Philly native.

@Sdawg23 - I abstain from comment.

@papalolo - Em dropping a new single will have no impact on the future of Asher's career. We're talking apples and oranges.

When Asher first came out, wasn't digging him as much. Then recently, I've been loving every track hes droppin .... Enjoyed his flow, the beat kept me entertained, and thought sir Sigel stepped in real nice... BANGA!!!
Come on, Blaze get past his 'Rappin' voice ... he was born with it ... Right,Z ?!?

This track was super hot! I liked the little sample on the production. Asher did sound a lil more like Em on here, but because of his delivery and the pitch of his voice, not at all b/c of subject matter. Sigel is a great addition to the track and the hook is cool...

Don't trip but when I first hear him flow on here he sort of sounds like a downgraded Eminem. Maybe just a little. Then again I could be tripping...idk. should he release this as a single...no, but it'll be good on the album. I hate that son "I Love College" it really drives me so I've avoided listening to anything else by him. This is def a hot song in my book. When I hear it I think of the beginning of Get Rich and Die Tryin when 50 and his people are riding in the car before they go light some people up. Its hot rideer music. Asher Roth def has potential continue wit hthis playful/serious demeanor and he could go far.

Even though Asher and Em sound similar, they are entirely different people. I've been hearing some really solid stuff by Asher, and this track was great. I think he's got a future, especially if he can get out of Em's shadow.

Z, I disagree slightly. I think Roth sounds exactly like a young Em, so it's a little bit relative. only thing is. What does Roth have to rap about? hip hop is about struggle and the rise out of it...at least for most. And Roth doesnt really have this. He has less of a struggle than Kanye. so we'll see what he has to say when there's nothin left to say.

FEELING THIS...very much so. The production is tight (love that piano and guitar), and Rock City kills the hook.

As for Asher, his flow here is mighty. Comparisons to Em? I think the more you listen, especially the second and thrid verses, the more you hear some Slug (from Atmosphere) in there as well...So even if Asher's somewhere between the two that would give him HIS OWN STYLE...which I have say I'm diggin'. Thinking I liked this more than than Be By Myself, although both are totally different songs....

Solid all around here....keep it up Ash and the album should be cooking (just like BEANS on this track!)
