Lucy was 7...

He was dope, if only for how unique his style was/is. He seemed like a bright star back in the golden age of Underground Hip-Hop (circa the early 2000s). Back then it was all about Def Jux, Canibus, Sage Francis, Immortal Technique, Blackalicious, Dead Prez, Copywrite and other artist of similar pedigree. Fast forward to the present and idk. I never go back and listen to any of his stuff or even check for his most recent projects.

^the song that put me on to his music.

Likewise. And minus the Personal Journals album I feel the same way about Sage Francis.

July 4th, 1981. Candles of a Roman ilk
unloaded from a chevy truck into the home her folks had built.
Patio was charcoals and extended fam in folding chairs,
safely arced around the yard to focus on the smoking flares.
Couple cousins, uncles, aunts. Mostly grown-ups; couple brats.
Baby Ruby's only two. She's too close to the jumping jacks.
Mommy scoops her to the house — buckles up the booster seat.
Rolls her to the storm door. Let her long for all the lunacy.
Telephone distracting Mom — Ruby wriggles out her strap.
Fingers push the plexi-glass; she's off into the sour patch.
Past the pyrotechnics undetected and invisible.
Woke the sleeping beagle, skipping toward the kidney swimming pool.
Off into the yawning blue; the splash would mum the rocket-ships.
Ruby's lungs were filling by the time her kin were cognizant.
Many sprung and sprinted down. All arrive belated, but
the beast she had earlier bestirred had been alert since waking up.
Canine let his gainer fly. Water top commotion grow;
Howling guests assumed the cloven hooves had come to do-si-do.
Frenzied and congested deck part to let the elders see
soggy beagle gently dragging Ruby in his yellow teeth.
Laid the tiny body in the sun before her Father‘s feet.
When she choked the liquid through her bluish lips he dropped his knee.
Healthy air had reconvened. Towel his shaking Ruby off.
EMT confirm the save. Everybody say, "Good dog!"

suzy had the whereabouts to advocate an open hand
thicker than rapunzel hair cobblestone buddha waits
belly rubs for babe as our hero takes bermudas shape

Most of his stuff is very listenable to me, never got that angle. Unique production and style. Remains my favorite artist since I was 13.

Aesop excels.

I fuck with aes. haven't really listened to him since skelethon but I'm like out the loop of life most days really.

Aesop shits on Em

he's in my top 10 worst of all time

Yeah I'm not too fond of Em either these days

em is in my top 10 least favorite, but not my top 10 worst.

I can agree on this

The first thing you posted is shit though

He's a decent poet, and good rapper. I enjoy his writing and music. It's enjoyable and good. My favorite song by him is 'Daylight' it's quite enjoyable. I've listened to pretty much all his albums. He's a very good artist. I would recommend people to listen to him, for quality entertainment. He's definitely good.

Trash

Shit tbh...& J sayin' he better than Em is just pathetic....c'mon now.

Lol I’d say as a lyricist he’s better

Better storyteller, besides rhymes he has more advanced every technical skill.
He’s not always so clear with his lyrics, but that doesn’t mean they’re meaningless, take away from his flow and clarity, vocab, or his more clear lyrics.

Lmao

Daylight was cool but he's too obscure for my taste. Even apathy sometimes. And he's a CT rapper and I can probably out write him still

This was pretty dope actually I like the audio better than just the lyrics but Ill have to peep this album if it's decent
