The five best concerts this week: Nov 12-16
4. ASHER ROTH @ FOX THEATRE | TUES, 11/13/12
Say what you want about Asher Roth, the one thing you can't call him is insincere. After bonding with bros across the country in their love of beer pong, keg stands and Miller Lite with his smash hit single, "I Love College," Asher Roth seemed to enter a state of hibernation following the inauspicious release of his debut studio album, Asleep in the Bread Aisle. Since then, Roth has been trying to distance himself from his frat boy image. Though he has not fully regained the trust of the hip-hop community, he has reestablished his status as perhaps rap's best Birkenstock-wearing MC with help of one of 2011's best mixtapes, the super-relaxed Pabst & Jazz, placing him in the lofty company of up-and-comers A$AP Rocky, Big K.R.I.T., Danny Brown and Frank Ocean. (Asher Roth is also slated to perform at Cervantes' Masterpiece Ballroom on Wednesday, November 14.)
