My Take
Asher Roth is an artist I find easy to root for. The Morrisville, Pennsylvania native turned his actual college life into 2009's I Love College, a Billboard number twelve hit that essentially named the frat-rap moment. It would be easy to dismiss that as a novelty, but capturing a generational mood in a single song is harder than it looks. What I respect is that beneath the party-anthem surface there is a writer telling his own honest, life-sized story rather than chasing someone else's swagger. That he kept making music long after the hype cooled tells me the integrity was real.
