Asleep in the Bread Aisle -- One of the top 5 albums to change hip-hop?

By Tom Carbone

Steve Rifkind, the music executive that launched the careers of Wu-Tang Clan, Mobb Deep, Big Pun and Three 6 Mafia, announced today that he believes Asher Roth's latest album, Asleep in the Bread Aisle is in the Top 5 albums that changed hip-hop. Sure, I enjoy a few of Asher's songs - more importantly, his freestyles - but top 5 albums to change hip-hop? I feel like I'm sort of obligated to take Rifkind's input to heart since his efforts introduced me to some of my favorite rappers of all time, but this seems like quite the statement. Regardless, Asher's new CD sure is generating a lot of buzz. I guess we'll all see what all the hype is about on 4/20 when Asleep finally drops in its entirety.
