Aesop Rock

Any Aesop Rock fans out there?

hells yeah! he's in town with El-P for SXSW. i missed the show last night, but luckily for me, there's a free in-store performance tomorrow at Waterloo Records. i'll be there, fo' sho'.

Yes!

he's a better conceptualizer than he is a producer.

word, i do a mean impression of him too... its all about that track where its the life story of that girl (millie?) ending on her death bed.

I've been told that that song was about his grandmother...

yo, nice 1 tori, yeh lucy thats it, beautiful song.... cool if it is about his grandmother. what do you lot think of his last album, quite a change of production compared to labour days, his flow is solid tho.

Love him.

heard a good track on a random compilation about guns and warmongery but he flpis it so he's takling serious ish with a comical sarcastic take on it all, i'll try and find the name of the compilation its got a good tune on with MFDOOM as well called all outta ale.

I just heard bazookatooth a week ago
i'm hooked

ooo ooo me too!!!

Love 'em.

I always wonder what artists like P. Diddy think about this stuff if/when they hear it.

He is an absolute life changer.......Labor Days is one of the greatest ever....I ccould go on for days.....Aesop is the reason why I'm not mad at hip hop....

He and Sage Francis "Personal Journals" anynone?

I wanna be something spectacular
On the day the sun runs outta batteries
Attach my fashion to the casualties of anarchy
Save my nickels up to buy that homeless man a brand new horn
Then sit up on his crate as I witness the beauty born like this

amen.

love the shit.

Dispatch a task of infested patch of city goblins
Who split how many freaks with box cuts of a high road bellow
Heads ripped! Watch red bricks turn yellow
Sort of similar to most backbones at camp Icarus
Raw feelings start congregating at pamper for bickering
Life's not a bitch life its a beautiful woman
You only call her a bitch because she won't let you get that pussy
Maybe she didn't feel y'all shared any similar interests
Or maybe you're just an asshole who couldn't sweet talk the princess

GOD DAMN.......makes you wonder what all the other rappers ever think about.

Indeed.

The "Daylight" EP has not left my regular rotation since it came out.

The first time I went to see him with Mr. Lif and El-P in Florida he had a throat infection and didn't show up. But I made up for it seeing him play in Detroit a couple months ago with Mr. Lif, Murs and SA Smash

the entire Def Jux crew is worthy of serious attention. saw Aesop with El-P a couple of months ago...fantastic live show.

Aesop Rock, Sage Francis, and Buck65 changed my mind about hip hop. I use to abhore it (because I only heard the mainstream crap). Then heard those guys... and lurve it.

yeah... sometimes I'm ashamed to tell people how much I love hip-hop because of the bullshit they tend to associate with it.

aesop rock is the fun.

Yeh, the whole def jux scene gets hated on, thats only as it has to be ackowledged so people are forced form opinions about it. I think Sage is a dope MC but i do get a bit sick of his self rightoussness, but then again who ever heard of a modest MC?
Its funny cos i know a lot of people who say i cant beleive you like hiphop its all crap , its all about money and guns and bitches, i gently break it to them that they dont listen to hiphip they listen to pop.

talk to me, i want to take you all under my broken wings.

he's rad, and so much better than atmosphere, and is a nice guy to boot.
