Asher Roth'
s new album is titled "Asleep in the Bread Aisle." While I agree with the above
definition, I also feel it has to do with
race. Since most bread, and bread in general is traditionally thought of as white, it could be a reference to
race and rap. Since Eminem there has been a never ending emergence of "white rappers," and it could be said Asher has simply been "asleep" in the bread aisle (admist all the other white rappers waiting for his moment.) Asleep could either
mean hiding there while he developed into his own or waiting there strategically waiting for the right
time to strike his demographic while mocking the attempts of other white rappers trying to glorify their Eminem like struggles through poverty knowing the American population would never embrace another as they have Marshall Mathers, so he was sort of there mocking their attempts knowing his formula for
success would be to embrace his white subrubarn no gangs and no guns upbringing.
