But that doesn't mean mass media can't take something it likes and turn it mainstream. As for all those who say he sucks, please fill me in on the other TRUE hip hop isn't mainstream and isn't for everybody. Comparing Em to asher is like comparing oranges to apples. Thats like comparing lil wayne to Lupe

So you are telling me Asher Roth isn't a rapper, but he is a hip-hopper? So when I bootleg his music and classify it under a genre, it should be listed under "hip-hop"?
Hip-hop is pretty much rap.
If he wasn't meant for the masses, why is he trying to sell himself to record labels? Why is he being publicized? Asher Roth is basically another Eminem. Sure he doesn't look the same, or "rap" about the same topics, but at the end of the day, they are both "rappers" that are doing the same schtick.
We are comparing green apples to red apples.
