This guy is going to blow soon. It is only a matter of time. I just heard him today.

Asher on BET with DJ Drama...

Asher spittin some reality on A Milli...
"These stupid motherfukkas never get it, it's pathetic
they get to the pros and don't do shitt like they Reddick (JJ)
When I get that cheddick (check)
I'ma take it straight to the medic
Cuz these sick kids need it more than I need a necklace
Ya'll need to respect this"

Here's Akon meeting him...

"You know the worlds gone mad when blacks wear plaid, and Mariah has married Nick Cannon
Or when a boy from the burbs has the nerves to converge on a mixtape with DJ Cannon."
SICKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Bottom line is dude has sick ass wordplay and will be famous soon. No need to say he's swagger jackin Em. That is a given, and it really doesn't matter. He's already got a pack of haters which tells me he's just as solid as I think.

That is part of the reason he will sell crazy amounts of records.
Dude is crazy. He's the second coming.
I'm not going to call him the second coming after hearing two mixtapes, but he's got all the tools to do some damage in the game. I wish Shady had signed him!
I can tell by the material that he uses that he will rarely run out of stuff to rap about, which is alot of rappers downfall, they start rapping about the same thing over and over and **** gets tired and played out. Theres plenty of songs on youtube that have got me hooked already. I may of spoke to quick, but dude already has enough songs to last me awhile.
I just can't get over his wordplay and the variation in his flow. Also, he made everyone look stupid for talking about what they have on A milli.
He definently hammered that.

Dude can flow.
Sounds too much like EM IMO but he's more poised.
Personally bali, I dont think thats a bad thing at all.
His newer shitt is even better.

It is a bad thing because it will be harder for him stand out and show the world he has his own style.
With the state of hip hop right now this guy is a breath of fresh air IMO.
I agree.

Eminem transformed the rap game. He took it to another level. We can't expect that from roth.

But he has the ability to keep it alive, whether that means sounding like eminem, rapping like eminem and even being hated on because people feel he's copying eminem. They will listen to him.

Love = fans

Hate = more fans

Love/Hate = Superstardum

yeah this dudes flow is sick, his word play is off the chain, i got alot of hopes for this guy, i'd buy his album for sure.

its about time we got some more rappers with wordplay like eminem, lil weezy etc.

i would disagree that he's copying eminem, not just anyone can copy eminem.

em is sick as well so to sound anything like him in your lyrics is a plus.

i'll look forward to hearing a few more of his tracks.
I'll try to post the second mixtape as soon as I can.
That is part of the reason he will sell crazy amounts of records.
His flow, wordplay, and his voice sound like a copy Eminem, the only thing different is his lyrics being more socially conscious.

Eminem isnt dead and isnt even retires since he has an album that is scheduled to drop.
It is a bad thing because it will be harder for him stand out and show the world he has his own style.
Exactly, the originator of the whole style, swagger, and everything jacking is still rapping and selling records. If he comes out anytime soon, he will be embarrassed.

His overall rapping is real good but he will be going nowhere since his whole style is bitten and the originator of it is still making records. How can he be a breath of fresh air if he's a copy of a breath of fresh air that had been around for 10 years. Yall are overrating duke to a third degree, if he has haters it's because he is the Margarito of rap.

I like his socially conscious lyrics, the youth in the US does not give a shitt they would rather hear about what em talks about. This guy will not be get on anytime soon and if he does, it'll definitely make me happy because that means that he has helped give importance to something that needs attention. To add to the hate: What rapper has succeeded swagger jacking one of the most famous and top selling rappers, while he was still relevant and rapping?

The first part I agree with. Sounds exactly like Eminem. Man sounds like that is all he listens to. I don't think he is all the good IMHO.

Don't quite get what you mean by teh second part??:dunno: What exactly is the "Margarito of rap"???

He's already on. Steve Rifkin (Wu Tang, Akon, Outkast) signed him up. I knew he was the real deal as soon as Jay-Z started talking about him. Just wait homie.

I said in my OP that he's biting Em hard. That's a given, but he's solid IMO.
