Did you guys know that Aesop Rock is dope as fuck?
 

Well, he is. Just so you know.

I find him pretty average other than Daylight. Prefer El-P really

If anybody's pretty average around here, it's you, deathtrap! :mad:

Peep game...

That second one isn't an official video, for the record.

Slug (Atmosphere) > El P > Aesop Rock

But yes, Aesop Rock is dope as fuck.

Atmosphere is my favorite shit. I've made threads about that before. I'm just on my yearly Aesop Rock kick right now and felt like posting a thread about him, OK????

I did! I did!

Of course that's OK. You have impeccable taste in music my friend.

Aesop is decent 7/10

I prefer Aesop Rock to Amosphere actually.

Shere Khan, Catacomb Kids and None Shall Pass are my favorites from him.

Is "dope" now slang for "generic?"

Because I could be "down" with that.

Antipop Consortium FTW

I fucking hate slug!!!!!

And Aesop is pretty dope but sometimes he is completely nonsensicle

What about Aesop can be described as generic?

I wouldn't say 'nonsensicle', but he does try a little too hard to say simple things in a complex way at times.

the morals of his Fables

OK. Well listen to this one...

I mean, it's completely fine if you don't like Aesop Rock, but calling him generic is pretty fucking ridiculous.

I don't dislike him for his music or anything

I just don't support people named after the Fable guy

Oh. I didn't know that's what you were talking about. My comments were mostly directed at Kane Knight anyhow.

Also, Aesop Rock has been around longer than Fable.

I mean Aesop's Fables you numbskull

• Lion's Share
• The Ant and the Grasshopper
• The Bear and the Travelers

• The Deer without a Heart
• The Dog and the Bone
• The Dog and the Wolf
• The Dog in the Manger
• The Farmer and the Stork
• The Farmer and the Viper
• The Frog and the Ox
• The Frogs Who Desired a King
• The Fox and the Crow

Never knew any of that stuff was from anyone named Aesop, and you wouldn't either if you weren't like one year removed from high school.

Either way, your original joke was still fucking lame, so eat a bucket of shit and enjoy this song:

Also check out Despot, he has done a few tracks with Aesop in the past. And like Aesop he is "dope as fuck."

No way he is generic. I mean compared to Dose One.. maybe, but seriously one of the oddest rappers ever at the very least. so generic? no

I like him quite a bit one of my top ten fav rappers (most of the top te are in wu tang or deep puddle dynamics)

I saw Despot live once. He opened for Ratatat. He was bizarre as fuck. Either really drunk, really high, or both.

Never really got into Aesop though. Maybe I'll give him another shot. Strange Famous Records needs more attention in terms of underground hip hop.
