More of Eyedea's later stuff before he passed away. But Aesop still is the most "complex" lyricist with the largest vocabulary, but it's how he weaves his words that grasp me. Either way, I love your picks bc on a more mainstream level, you are correct. And Big L deserves more respect for how great he was... And I got love for the others you mentioned as well. Also...

@ShawnsLoop 4 ай бұрын
His beats and flow are among the best as far as I'm concerned. The lyricism is not even in question. That said, I understand that the casual listener might have trouble connecting with Aesop's metaphorical approach to his lyrics. It's a struggle for me, it doesn't come to me naturally like it does to Knox. But I appreciate the depth of what he has to say when I spend the time to dig into the interpretation of those lyrics. But I'd argue just the flow and beat of his music alone just sounds NICE, even if you don't want to dive into the deeper meanings. I vibe to Aesop all the time in my playlists. Love Aesop and he's hugely slept on. Also, when I see folks talk about a rap artists cadence and flows and sound being good. Comparisons to Aesop is often my measuring stick, and honestly, most come up short for me. It's its not even to say those other artists are trash. But there's levels to this, and for flow and lyrical rap that's not talking about typical rap culture themes, Aesop is one of the best. Also I can admit my upbringing, being a middle-aged white guy from the prairies of Canada, I can understand the message and the reflection of lived live experiences in rap and I appreciate it even if I can't truly connect with it. Aesop's themes are more universal I'd argue, so that might be why the hit deeper for me.

Aesop Rock will blow your mind. His old stuff is so layered and dense, but as he's aged i feel like he's refined his art so well. Check out Jazz Hands from Garbology (2021), which is still as metaphoric and abstract, but feels like a far more polished track than his mid-90s released. There's a bunch of common themes throughout each of his albums, too. Anti-capitalism, anti-authoritarianism and of course his cat Kirby.

@@theyonlycomeoutwhenitsquiet Marble Cake is in my Top 10 there's just soooOOO many that my Top 50 is hard to break into so knocking a song out of Top 10, most of which haven't changed in a decade means i really loved it. Gopher Guts is some of the most beautifully written song ever but the beat keeps it outa my top & after the first week or so i haven't put Jazz Hands on a loop & i still decades later listen to my Top 10 on a loops some days soooo. my top 10 in no order- Big Bang, Dryspell, Fast Cars, Tetra, Sick Friend, 9-5ers, Kill the Messanger, Commencement at the Obedience Academy, Hall of Game, & Marble Cake. Close calls are Nickel Plated Pockets, The Substance, Hot Dogs...I could go on & on

How long it's been since an Aesop reaction popped up in my recommendations

i am so glad a high level reactor finally does a real reaction to him and honestly you are the only one who can. cliff, nolife, scru, mrlboyd, cypt, etc. cant do the level of breakdown this man deserves, but you do and i thank you for it. no regrets or no jumper cables, if you want to do another, or Kirby if you like cats. lol

Love seeing you pick apart Aesop. "Dorks" would be a good next one for you.
