    I honestly find it insane that Aes is famous when you really listen to his lyrics and realise what he's rapping about, it's genuinely insane to think there are hundreds of thousands of people who like it hahaha.
    He is my favourite of all time though.

    When the original underground hip hop artist makes a significant charting on Billboard, is it still "underground"?
    Aesop Rock is easily the most talented rapper I know of, an artist of artists.

    Filmography
    Hao Zhihua appeared in the 1987 video documentary titled This is Kung Fu with fellow Beijing Wushu Team member, Jet Li.
    In 2012, Aesop Rock featured Hao Zhihua in the music video to his single called ZZZ Top.
    SOOOOO Her entire film career is just a kung fu doc in the 80s and this bad ass video for aesop, that is beyond cool

    I don't hear the same lyrical genius as displayed on "Float" and neither the delightful beats from "None shall pass", but on the other hand, Aesops things never reached me on the first listen. There's just too much to it, things that you won't hear on the first time. And it is decadently kickass even now, so I'll keep my hopes up for this.

    This is one of those songs that you can just zone out and the flow mixed with the beat sounds amazing but when you delve into the lyrics, holy shit. Aesop Rock has an incredible mind. I am kind of glad that the music video didn't have anything to do with the lyrics because it is better to imagine the three stories in this song than to have a music video that shows them. Music video is awesome though haha

    Yea I got hip to RAP genius 6 months ago its a great source especially for someone like Aesop. Although he has admitted in the past of not understand some of his own lyrics.

    Aesop's style feels like he dropped an expensive ceramic plate, and rearranged the pieces. It's a plate I would have eaten off a few years ago.
