Re: aesop rock
 

Aesop Rock is pretty hot. if you like him go check out any thing else by Rymesayers. Like Slugg or Atmosphere. its all good ----

you really wanna hear someshit that will redefine what you know as Hip Hop then go listen to some MF Doom.

Use to wore a leather goose ski with a fur collar
Hand charged a fee for loose leaf words for dollar
Ya heard? Holla - broad or dude, we leave food
Eat your team for sure, the streets sure seem rude
For fam like the Partridges, pardon me for the mix-up
Battle for your Atari cartridges or put your kicks up
It's a stick up

Re: aesop rock

Re: aesop rock
 

Check out anything by eyedea and abilities or by atmosphere. They are both on the rhymesayers label and very good.

Re: aesop rock
 

there is a reason why he's been "underground" for so long....he sucks

Re: aesop rock
 

thats why he is now a millionare and you still suck dick for nickel bags

Re: aesop rock
 

That ---- hurt my ears.

Re: aesop rock
 

Thats 4 mins of my life i`ll never get back ::)

Re: aesop rock
 

It's cool, its not for everyone.

If you like it or not is one thing but this is a guy who is trying to take music back to a time or place where it means something again, not just a business to make money in. If you really want to hear clear cut differences between real hip hop and trash go download some of the Beautiful Mix tape records from Talib. He did some collaborations with Little John and Ludacris, etc... The record label dissolved from no money so he just did live shows and literally made money from selling a few different mix tapes at his shows. You think 50 will do that? nope he'll just suck rebok off a little more and get a check. Listening to Talib do a verse and listing to Ludacris try right after him you can tell you really knows how to do it and who doesn't.

Im all about any rapper who actually has something to say and not just a a bunch of buzz words rymed together. Im tired of seeing people like Solja boy pop up on the scene and folks go ape ---- like he's hot. They never realize he is only a marketing tool just like Ashleey Simpson. They don't write their own material, they are merely an image that the record labels pump out.

*edit I cant find a torrent link to the Beautiful Mix tape DL's. I got em here though so let me get a torrent going and I will link it if anyone is interested.

Re: aesop rock
 

i'm interested, i have all of his CDs except mix tapes

Re: aesop rock
 

yeah, you got me, thats exactly what i do ::)

Re: aesop rock
 

I dislike it.

If you like that wordy rap stuff in whiteboy style, and electronica, you might like some early Stromkern. It's kinda sorta electro with hip-hop influences:

Stromkern - Terrorist
