      I can't disagree. I am a huge fan of all of them. When I was younger I got into more underground lyrics... So I found a joy in Aesop and even Eyedea. More of Eyedea's later stuff before he passed away. But Aesop still is the most "complex" lyricist with the largest vocabulary, but it's how he weaves his words that grasp me. Either way, I love your picks bc on a more mainstream level, you are correct. And Big L deserves more respect for how great he was... And I got love for the others you mentioned as well. Also...

    "Primate climb up a spine and attach" is just another way of saying the common phrase "monkey on his back."

    Well done man. Aes typically does all his own product as well. Beats, art, visuals and stuff. Don’t know how I missed this break down as I recommended aes after hearing you mention him and El-p during that mgk, Harlow beef, but thank you for finally dipping your foot into the vast ocean that is Aesop Rock. I know that dude doesn’t care about numbers, money and that stuff, but my goodness, I just wish he would get his flowers before it’s too late. You my friend now have that power with this platform you’ve built over your tenor to help artist get that level of recognition, so in that respect and many more you are the man Knox💪🏼

    What a comprehensive breakdown. Thanks for reacting to a favorite of mine. Your analysis was thorough and constructive. Also, when someone rhymes vowel sounds, or at least perceived vowel sounds, that's called assonance. Aesop does that a lot. I believe it's why I looked up the term way back when.

    "With a cane to the sky like 'none shall pass'". This does indeed refer to Gandalf, but it is also the literal line the black knight said in Monty Python and The Holy Grail.

    Aesop is also a master storyteller. Based on true stories:
    Ruby '81 (Perfection)
    Agressive Steven
    100 feet tall
    TV on 10 (The Uncluded)
    Walk Like Thunder (Aesop Rock and Kimya Dawson version)

    Aesop Rock is actually so underrated. He has the most unique words in his first 35000 lyrics out of a whole load of rappers, probably all rappers. For those wondering he was rapping when Asap Rocky was like 3 years old so didn't copy his name lol

  • @partdefjampartdischord5649
    @partdefjampartdischord5649 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Aesop Rock will blow your mind. His old stuff is so layered and dense, but as he's aged i feel like he's refined his art so well. Check out Jazz Hands from Garbology (2021), which is still as metaphoric and abstract, but feels like a far more polished track than his mid-90s released.
    There's a bunch of common themes throughout each of his albums, too. Anti-capitalism, anti-authoritarianism and of course his cat Kirby.
