PHILADELPHIA — Asher Roth isn't like other rappers.

The rising star whose debut album "Asleep in the Bread Aisle" went straight to No. 1 when it was released on iTunes on Monday hails from nowhere near the hood.

The 23-year-old rhymer grew up in the middle-class community of Morrisville, Pa. His hip-hop calling card is "I Love College," an ode to higher-education hedonism born of his experiences while sort-of studying to be an elementary-school teacher on the leafy campus of West Chester University.

The catalyst was always rebellion. From the time George Clinton merged his Parliament and Funkadelic bands into a single, massive conglomerate, he knew the grooves his fans would flock to would be the ones their parents actively avoided.

"I always try to find the music parents hate and then gravitate towards that," said Clinton, 67.
"Doing that, I legitimize that music. It has always worked like that. When I hear something that parents hate, I know it's going to be the next big music. Hey, kids always like what their parents don't like, right?"

After reinventing themselves as serious rock artists and reviving their commercial fortunes with "American Idiot," Green Day is in the unusually awkward position of following a masterpiece.
So what do the Berkeley, Calif., punks do? They uncork "21st Century Breakdown" (Reprise) — an album that's bigger, broader and even more ambitious than "Idiot," an album that manages to cram in both more potential hits and more far-reaching sociopolitical statements. Yes, they've raised the bar once again.
