Default Thoughts on Aesop Rock

Been playing Impossible Kid, Float and Daylight allot recently.
I like his sound and, since I’m a huge fan of fast rap ( and so dislike almost all rap where people slur allot) I respect how he can say words perfectly, like TechN9ne’d be jealous.
I think he’s too cryptic sometimes, but definitely a lyrical master.

I can’t give it to either cus Lupe’s more straight forward, so he gets bonus points, but Aesop R has better story telling and is more complex, but sometimes too vague like Coffee or whatever single it was.

I don’t mind when he’s vague. I haven’t listened to Lupe in a long time.

The only Lupe I’ve seen that’s worth GOAT talk is Mural
The only problem I have with vagueness is easier way to add layers.

Negative, ghost rider. They do make sense and that’s what makes them incredible combined with how they sound.

Couple Playboy mudflaps and hell on his heels
Beautifully echoed in the pace at which he shoveled his meals
Like not a farmer among us had a harvest survive the winter
So dinner split a lima bean and triplets, pick a winner
Took a couple summers pukin' pills behind the dumpster
As the largest pez dispenser on record recouped his numbers
One shoe in the soupy gutter One shoe in the velvet heaven
Where the mermaids Harlem Shake up out a lake of melted weapons

Random imagery, but not all of its nonsense.
@dull boy NSP best album still. Not even top 5 sections on the album

Most copious, Rain soak the opiates
Notice how the phobias appropriately procreate
Woke up with a ghost farm focused on his groceries
When they aren't telling stories, they are multiplying grossly
on the lawn Let 'em loiter, never let 'em spawn
The apparitions have been drinking this water for too long
So when they gather by the birdbath in the morning he will tell 'em
"I mean no disrespect, but you have all outstayed your welcome."
Interesting, in a sense... Interrupt commiserating phantoms on your picket fence
How quickly they will lift their heads And breathe an ultimatum like, "The dead don't argue."
Said, "You're living by the bayonet, but how alive are you?

i enjoy his introspective shit more than the abstract stuff, but i love it more when he seamlessly blends the two, which very rarely happens.

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.

I'm definitely willing to give his catalogue a fair shake. Trust me ive had people telling me he's the one forever. Just never caught on.

I've actually enjoyed reading his verses more than listening to them. For what that's worth.

What's a recent song of his you really enjoy?
