Music White Beef: John Brown Vs Asher Roth

We've always said the most entertaining thing about hip-hop is beef between grafted-devil MCs. Whether it was 3rd Bass vs Vanilla Ice, El-P vs. Sole, or even the ménage a quatre of Eminem vs. Cage, Everlast, and Evidence, there's something so gosh darn cute about white on white lyrical feuds. So you can imagine how amped we got the other day when our Facebook buddy John Brown came out against Internet-It-Boy Asher Roth.
See, we all know John Brown is King of Da Burbz. But JB is heated that Roth'who just dropped his Don Cannon/DJ Drama mixtape last week'is rocking some burb-based iconography too. In a statement he sent to HHNLive.com, John said that “this dude and his…sidekick are so obviously a bunch of Stans that watched the White Rapper Show and then completely bit the whole burbs branding and lifestyle that I represented on the show and continue to represent in hip hop… It’s like his team tried to take the branding from John Brown and the sound of Eminem and create a Burb Frankestein.” So who has the upper hand?
