So many muthf*uckin underground dudes to choose from back then, why this cat? His voice and flow, personally, I could NEVER get into it.

aesop rock is the worst piece of trash rapper and a perfect personification of when white people take shyt to seriously, being super abstract doesn't make you realer.

he lacks entertainment value, flow and charisma.

this ironically is what made you hot in that whole era of "underground rap" these cacs were distancing themselves from the people and streets the music came from tryna tell nikkaz what is REAL

then the tables turned...

now hipsters like the most ignant shyt out, they just like to be ironic

Yeah man I've tried to get into Aesop, and never could. For some reason I can't get into his stuff.

I might give the new album a chance

 

[Mr. Manhattan]

See, this guy is an artist in the most literal sense of the word. Appreciation of an art remains in the eye of the beholder. That's likely why, besides the fact that he's white, that many of you will never check for, fukk with, or respect him. Many just fail to see hip hop as an art form - a worldwide art form.

I can damn near guarantee that if you played one of dude's albums front to back and actually listened, sans preconceived notions, you'd coming away saying, "That shyt was dope. I didn't understand ninety percent of it, but that shyt was dope." Beats are there - they're strange, but Aes can produce his ass off. Lyrics are there, but I guess this could be argued if you're not a fan of the English language. It comes off as giberish intially, but a closer listen will reveal a great many jewels. This dude makes good albums with tremendous replay value, point blank.

And about this whole, "fukk this cac" thing that goes on so often around here: hip hop is now a worldwide phenemenon. Maybe you get all NWA over it, spout off on message boards, and complain (bytch) yourself to sleep, but you're willfully naive if you ignore it. Caucasians get busy. Native Americans likely get busy (though I haven't heard too many, I'd make a bet they do.) Hawaiians get busy. Italians get busy. Egyptians get busy. Japanese get busy. Your petty little black vs. white thing is tunnel vision - THE world is significantly larger than your own little world.

I dont listen to this artist but

fukk anyone hating on Aesop Rock. He knows his Hip-Hop and he's a decent MC. Honestly, "Labor Days" is in my Top 20 albums of the 2000s.

This is one of my favorite songs.

That's the type of shyt they probably play at Burning Man while people do interpretive dance to it.

fukk I look like rolling around Harlem trying to play this shyt?

[ZEB WALTON]

in highschool i converted many heads into UG heads, one of the most unfortunate consequences of this was everyone heard daylight and the entire school ended up knowing it word for word. i might have sparked the hipster movement right there accidently. sorry yall
