the critics	All Music: “The controversy over his lyrics was the best publicity any musician could afford, and being the first Caucasian rapper to make a significant impact in years may have given him a platform not afforded to equally talented African-American rappers.”	All HipHop: “Time will tell if Roth will be more MC Serch than say…Milkbone (no disrespect), but his humility when off the mic combined with the self-assurance he displays when in rhyme mode give the kid a good chance of sticking around.”
controversy	Criticized for promoting misogyny and homophobia.	Announcing he loves weed.
in his own words	"Failure has always been the biggest motivation to me – the fear of losing and somebody getting the last laugh on me. I've felt since my first day of rapping that my time is ticking. That's how I've based my whole career – that this may never happen again." - Eminem.	“Kids from the ’burbs have been inspired and influenced by hip hop for years, When I wrote my ‘A Millie’ freestyle, that was me listening to 10 years of hip hop and not relating to it at all. Like, Damn I don’t sell coke. Damn, I don’t have cars or 25-inch rims. I don’t have guns.” - Asher Roth.
