Possible subliminal diss to Asher Roth...?

[cmoogs96]

This hasn't been confirmed by anyone, just something I noticed, but let me know if you think Em may be dissing Asher Roth on "Respect My Conglomerate Freestyle" on the Tim Westwood Show. Em says:

"Me and Westowood Blastin off, jackin off//
In a pair of acid wash bumpin Asher Roth//"

It may be a little far fetched, but I feel like it's Em's way of saying Asher Roth's music is gay or corny or whatever. Think about it, he's talking about jackin off with another guy while listening to Asher Roth...
Also, in that XXL magazine that came out right before Relapse, theres an article where they ask Em about Asher Roth's music. Em talks about how he hasn't heard enough of his music to have a genuine opinion on him, and even though he ends the conversation saying "at the end of the day, I think he’s dope," if you read the whole article I personally got the feeling he really doesn't feel his music.
Anyway, let me know your opinions on the Asher Roth line and if you think it's a jab at Asher Roth or not.

Does he really say like that in the song? If he does, I would say he is dissing Asher...

[matz]

erm why would eminem diss asher after sayin he is dope

[theJFKshow]

It's not a diss.


I think Eminem wrote that whole 'freestyle' using Asher Roth as his base rhyme. He set it up to give him a little name drop, which is fucking awesome. This kid was unknown last year and now he has Eminem dropping his name in freestyles. I wonder if he even knows.

He's said Asher Roth is "dope," three or four times. Why would he diss him?

[Dark Blue]

wtf if he says he's "bumpin asher roth" that means he's listing to asher roth so whats so bad about that?

[TriRepo]

erm why would eminem diss asher after sayin he is dope

Cuz Asher's name rhymes with so many different words

[PhilTh3thriLL]

NOPE NOPE NOPE....def. not dissin asher here...ever since that article is when he started listening to more artists including roth and stating his opinion..he interviewed with some1 a couple weeks b4 relapse dropped and said he spent like 1500 on cds and one of them was asher...then on BET last week he also said again asher is nice etc.....

....but talking about the line in the freestyle, thats just em man...hell say some funky type shit in freestyles just because it rhymes..he probably started off with "me and westwood blastin off..." and he wanted to shout out asher roth so he just made some shit up to rhyme with his name....nothing subliminal at all!!

Like I said, it's a possibility. But I dono, I really do believe he's givin him a little jab.

Right

WTF you should check the urban definition of bumping..he ment bumping asher roth as an "bumping asher roth's music in the trunk" not as an actually bumping againts it..he said it because he knows he's dope so he's basically saying that asher roht is dope because emienm would actually listen to him with tim...real ignorant post but oh well

Asher Roth - is this that white boy who sings somethink like "i love collage, i love drinking, i love girls" and in his video clip his acting like some stupid collage/high scool movie
Asher Roth is dope - hahah he sucks!!!

[slimsoxshady]

i don't think its "a pair of acid wash"
i think its "apparent acid wash"

You should not let this song influence your decision on Asher Roth. Listen to his A Mille remix, As I Em, Fallin, or hell, even Be By Myself
