Like his name would suggest, Aesop Rock is a storyteller. But instead of shrouding lessons on morality within recycled folklore, the hip-hop emcee cuts to the chase, illuminating the human condition through unfettered observations on the strangeness of people and the shape-shifting worlds we inhabit. Born and raised in New York, Aesop has never lacked for subject matter. One could say that the city chooses her storytellers, and not the other way around. Aesop's refined staccato raps eloquently around...

Sure, or you could just host open mics at the Starbucks you're going to work for.


I loved it!

Nice interview.
I like AESOP a lot and it was cool to hear about some different projects I wasn't aware of.

Nice interview. I hadn't heard much of his stuff until just recently, when my daughter started listening to him. Really impressed with what I have heard so far.

Wonder where he'll end up now that DefJux is shutting their doors for good. Be interesting to see if somebody can introduce him to a larger audience, or if he'll go even more underground.

I would think he will most likely end up on rhymesayers label.

Seems likely. A good place for him, anyway. But if people at labels with some cash actually start bidding for him he could end up anyplace. .... not likely, I realize. But I'd actually like more people to know who the cat is. He's so damn underrated, ignored and near unknown in a lot of circles.
