Victor Y Sammeeeee it's very annoying but at the same time it's awesome lol. One of mine being puff tuff. Have you heard this Aes song? If not, may I suggest you do. It's sickkk
That's what's dope about Aesop Rock. His body of work isn't defined by just his catalogue. There isn't really even a definition for his songs. I guess "wordy" would be adequate
Aesop is a lyrical mastermind i don't think i've heard anybody this good in awhile the only group i can say can compete lyrically would be the cunninlynguists every song i hear i'm like damn amazing metaphors and lyrics that make you think ten of ten for sure
check out Deca, no one will get too close to Aesop no one has the energy but Deca might be the closest poet wise. Brad Hamers maybe but he's quite pretentious.
Lupe Fiasco is right on that level. Sadistik is right there. Black Thought for what he does. Lupe Aesop and Sadistik are proactive the highest tier of writing.
@@OracleTheRonin you just listed 2 of my top 5 so I hope you take the time to check out some of my work even though I've only recently started going full fledge before getting nearly killed by a vehicle 😞 Just lmk if you look but aren't able to find my albums 🙏

You realize bsides and rairities is partly collection of B-SIDES from previous albums- it's in that album but its not originally From that album haha I get how that could be confusing though
Elitism is so disgusting. Just because Aesop Rock's songs have more depth than some other music doesn't make it inherently better, and it certainly doesn't mean you are any more intelligent for listening to it. Some people get a lot out of music emotionally, it stimulates them intellectually and challenges their perspectives. Other people don't get that much out of it. Just like you don't fully appreciate other forms of art, they don't appreciate music the way you do. Get over yourselves.
i love how at 3:53 aesop in the back goes "here we go" in response to "hungry with desire than bloated and tired" after dropping the labor days album. Almost like he's getting sick of himself talking on the subject
He's influenced every under ground hip hop artist alive in the last 15 years. And I mean hip hop artists, not 'rappers'. Rap has been co-opted by bullshit. Hip hop is my radio, graffiti is my TV, B-Boys keep them windmills breezy.
Not to mention he can afford to recycle. The audience owes him that privilege, since he still has the widest breadth of unique words and phrases used despite it. He's untouchable, period. lol
As always undeniable hot shit from Aesop Rock. He never fails to amaze me. Most compliations such as this , convexed, push button objects, and much more Aesops song usually take the cake on # 1 track. This is on the top of my list with Numb To The Gunz and many others
kendrick is tight but you're literally dising on a lyrical genius. Kendrick wouldn't be shit if it weren't for dudes like aesop. aesop could and would blow kendrick out of the water anyday.

So you agree with op then? Spoken word is reading your poems out in a simple cadence. Maybe over a sparse beat. Aesop is clearly rapping over straight up boom bap. That's textbook definition hip hop. Both of your dudes' attitudes are insulting to Hip Hop and borderline racist and I guarantee Aesop rock would disagree with you . Bob Dylan just won the Nobel prize in literature for his songwriting. He didn't need to be called a poet. Poetry is not an elevated art form over Hip Hop or anything else, they are different. Aesop grew up in NYC area engulfed in the oldest and most complex traditions of Hip Hop. You don't get to take that away.
What exactly defines a B-SIDE? B-SIDES and Rarities is a volume of songs not on other albums from that artist. Tags of the Times isn't an Aesop Rock album, it's a collection of rap songs from various artists. That's probably why he's confused.
AcidPhos69 I go through this song and The Next Best Thing every few years to take it in in whatever new headspace I’m in these days. Never disappoints. Always refreshing and as awe inspiring as the first time I heard it
You must not pay very close attention to hip-hop. I know it's a pretty trendy genre, or can be at least, but at least pay attention to the shit. Tyler, Earl and Hodgy from Odd Future. Hopsin is basically an Eminem clone, which are pretty prevalent and generally more talented than most other "legend" clones. His wordplay and rhyming are widely regarded as some of the best, at least in his heyday - including by the likes of Kool G Rap. Not even a big Em fan, but saying he wasn't a game changer...
You understand Em bit his original style and flow from Aesop? Aes did what Em did lightyears ahead of him, Em's producers handed him the Aes tape and hence Eminem was born, copycat halfassed attempts at lyrical mastery he could never achieve, hence why Aes is still going strong and Em is hanging by a thread. Aesop was the OG, not before Kool G but def before Em.
@@GetMoreOdder Replying to a comment that's nearly a decade old is a wild sentiment, almost as wild as making me defend Eminem twice on a song from an artist I actually consistently listen to (and have for almost 20 years). I wasn't there, so I don't know, but if you're right now saying that Eminem took his style from Aesop Rock that is almost exactly the thing I was talking about when I said pay attention to the history of hip-hop a decade ago. Aesop's first record, which he produced and took care of himself while he was a waiter - which did not initially spread very far - was released 3 years *after* Eminem's first album (Infinite in 1996, Appleseed in 1999). Em has been a lot of things in his career, but I would say at the very least (and especially early on) he has been pretty original with very clear influences, none of which involved Aesop Rock. I don't think there was any crossover at all, like ships in the night, outside of the very minor Cage beef that occurred. If you're talking about Aesop from Living Legends, I guess that's a possibility, but I highly doubt it as most of Em's stuff seems to have drawn most from people like Run DMC, Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, Kool G, Biggie, Tupac and various other golden era MCs.
How the fuck do I keep coming across Aes songs I've never heard, I've been listening to him for almost a decade!
Victor Y Sammeeeee it's very annoying but at the same time it's awesome lol. One of mine being puff tuff. Have you heard this Aes song? If not, may I suggest you do. It's sickkk

Brov. I Know.
Thing is he'll be still releasing shit to look forward to, more for the next generation and anyone else listening
Ditto
Wise up, Rise up, Size em up, Line em up against the wall.
"Im the stubbornest bastard this side of 4 demensions." Damn, i felt that.
Aes is pretty much 99.9% great every song every alum just greatness
100%
no one better! props from the middle of now where!

Your perception of elitism is what's disgusting. Cherry picking a few bad comments does not an argument make. Get over yourself.
PagerNinerTwelve fuck was you here for?
Captain obvious.
Ppl are entitled to opinions. U just discredited your own. Nice pedestal
Aesop Rock has more depth than all music given the exception of a handful of underground rappers. Go mainstream derpbag.
This is not for you so gtfo.
Tupac is better.
Tupac is great, Aesop Rock is great
"My version of ruler don't include underlings thumbing through yellow pages for a future"
Flip through these yellow pages and draw a man GROWING MORNING
Way better than Eminem in my opinion. I said it
@Benjamin Huggins
I doubt many here would disagree. Strange that M&M is a multi millionaire while Aes lives a modest life
Eminem is super talented, unfortunately he's a one trick pony.
Aesop Rock will be recognised as the goat as soon as time catches up😊
... Well that's a low bar, below the surface rs

This is probably one of Aesop’s best songs. Why wasn’t this on a full-length album?
This is a single he did supporting another artist
Had this cd. Still bumping in 2024
Good lord... this one is going to take years to dissect
You wanna hold that grudge thats fine infact lets both hold grudges just to see who's stubborn and who budges.
WISE UP! Aes is that crazed sleepless mad scientist in the basement.
mare mosso goes 2 paint ...
Left handed scribbles of god...
2023 checking still eternal
held together by a beach-bucket of bolts
this song is in no way underrated it;s impossible to underrate an aesop song
This beat is soooo hard! Aesops voice compliments it so well.
first time hearing this one love AESOP keep finding gems like this!!
cats just be offended they dont have any tracks to recycle
Too true lol
Not to mention he can afford to recycle. The audience owes him that privilege, since he still has the widest breadth of unique words and phrases used despite it. He's untouchable, period. lol
honoring the touch of pure peasantry I've been harboring presently-Aesop Rock

thew samples are fucking lit on Aesops songs... that's how I know it's real HIp HOP, aside from the top notch lyricism./
kendrick is tight but you're literally dising on a lyrical genius. Kendrick wouldn't be shit if it weren't for dudes like aesop. aesop could and would blow kendrick out of the water anyday.

Most underated aesop song
Damn, if I heard you say this in person I would have given you a hug, handshake, and all the money in my wallet.
I'm the stubbornist bastard this side of 4 dimensions. ha
left hand scribbles from god...
this instrumental for sale anywheres? i gots moneys to give.
Biggie meth Tupac Snoop none the best can touch this who's the best sop rocks that all you need to know
Nor can eminem
480p is so much better than 360p
tags of the times....dope album alot of good underground rappers, if you dont got get it!
listen to Illogic. Illogic and Aes were crowned most intellectual rappers of our time. Aes was #1 Illogic was #2
To damn clean, Love Aesop Rock
Wow
not DOOM. I love aesop but i couldnt say who i like more aesop or DOOM
give some examples of his revolutionizing the industry please.
Phenomenal Composition.
Silence In The Needle Pin Hybrid--------This Man Was Close To Insanity 4Real....Thank God He Was Wise Enough To See That.....Let The Almight Jehovah Tend Us All...peace!!!
What does that line indicate?
Agnosticism's jahovah you mean?
Jehovah alright love seeing the name of God close to Aes' music
+drodude301 then you know Jehovah man twists not the God of light and fire he loves and he loves us as much as he loves justice
my new favorite spoken word artist...but then I AM THAT IAM partial...hahah these unintentinal puns slay me...
Spoken word? This is straight up Hip Hop.
