Asher Roth, B.O.B. & Attitude continues to collect co-signs from the hip-hop media. Jumptheturnstyle.com, have named the two hip-hop freshman one of the Top 8 Rappers who got a lot of blog love in 2008.

You've seen them in your RSS readers all year long. You've heard them on Last.fm, MySpace, imeem, YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook. Some owe their entire careers solely to the "blogosphere".


6. Asher Roth : Mentioned 257 times in my RSS Reader in 2008

Essentially I guess what I would be if I could rap and was slightly more of a pretty boy.. Ok, a lot more of a pretty boy. I also draw inspirations from Dave Matthews Band and Dire Straights, so I guess this kid can't be all bad? Can he? Asher Roth also landed on that XXL cover, and well.. hip hop is pretty much dead anyway right?

Roth grew up in the suburbs of Pennsylvania, his hobbies included surfing the internet and attending keg parties. He's now signed to a major label.

This is what you need to do in 2008 to get a deal. Rap over the Reading Rainbow beat:

4. B.O.B. : Mentioned 365 times in my RSS Reader in 2008

Ahhh.. big B.O.B. -- in 2009 B.O.B. will be a millionaire. How do I know this? Because this man's blog / internet promo game is THE TIGHTEST on the webs. Rarely does a day go by when I don't see a mention of B.O.B. in my inbox, and 95% of the time it's great shit. In my opinion, his crowning achievement in 2008 was this autotune video. Lulz. He's also on that XXL cover sh*t.

Find out who else made the list here.

But That's Not It....



Warner Music Group's Attitude is also an artist to look out for in 2009.

According to Metromix.com, Attitude is gonna make it pop.

After writing Nelly Furtado's hit record "Promiscuous Girl", MMX can see why Timothy Clayton has an Attitude. Commanding the production talents of  Atlanta Super Producers Lil John and Drummer Boy in addition to the production talents of  Timeberland, equals a debut album  that won't be forgotten in 2009. The single "Blow Ya Back Out" is currently taking over urban radio staion everywhere. [Source]
