I can’t much listen to the earlier stuff anymore outside of the nostalgia of it, but his recent work is more approachable. Rappers can be victims of timing and cultural circumstance, sometimes, even if they impose those circumstances on themselves and their style, but
Aes has benefited from mainstream colliding with independent Hip Hop from a personal style perspective, I’d say.
It’s surprising that you, given the way you write, don’t appreciate the same things about him that I do. Not saying YOU HAVE TO I’m just surprised. There’s something so poetic and just beyond the surface with him. It appeals to my elitist lean to listen to a rapper recite verses that have a feel of mystery to them. Not to the point that it’s abstract, but that he describes things in unconventional ways just for the sake of having it sound dope... but still tell a story or thought coherently.
