That is so dumb. You would rather create and protect your own perception of a person than accept them as who they are? For what, so you can "enjoy" their music? No you are enjoying the cool person you think you look like while listening to their music.

MR MILL3R People are just lazy, his form of rhyming is unique. He raps with metaphors and anecdotes. That alone, makes it so people think he's just mumbling. Just reading up on one song made me think he is one of the smartest people in the game.

Words CAN NOT describe this man! very underrated VERY APPRECIATED! I think I speak for most TRUE Aesop fans when I say, The first time I heard an Aesop joint, my mind, body and soul was NOT prepared for that caliber of artistry. It went way Beyond just listening to over and over again to catch every word and metaphor. Art and poetry at its best!!!
Mrgroosum ThaSandman I sat and deciphered the meaning of his lyrics through about 20 listens in a row and was like "okay, so this guy's a creative genius"
Reason it makes me sad is because his ability to put words and songs together is incredible even when I don't fully understand what he's saying yet. His output of words is a superpower that literally put him at the top of hip hop vocabulary charts. He should be proud of being so wordy
I've never seen an interview with him. Hearing his speaking voice and him sounding like he's not a rap phenomenon is wild. He sounds like a dude that you'd smoke with in high school. Lol
The hook of Homemade Mummy is "Take the brain out, leave the heart in". That's what the Egyptians used to take the brain out: a hook. That's what Aesop did, he said it himself. He likes that it's short. He likes that he took the brain out and related it to an ancient process of the very same.
+Skye Kade Yes, his lyrics are extremely esoteric. He's known as the rapper with the biggest vocabulary, but it goes deeper than that. I love that he shares these concepts in a way that is relevant to today's issues.
If I ever got the chance to tell him I'd say it's an astonishing body of work he's been able to produce. He's essentially unparalleled in the sheer number of fantastic albums he's made over a very long period of time as far as hip-hop artists go. I hope he finds the pride and happiness in himself that he deserves.
On a underground scale absolutely I agree in terms of someone who appeals to the world on a mainstream level no. Lebron James is considered the best basketball in the world because the world made that assessment we all know who he is. You can’t tell me there’s someone in another country better than lebron if the masses don’t know who he is🤷🏾♂️ Eminem, Jay z, & NAS got that crown for me and I Love aes to death but when we mention hip hop timeless classic projects his name don’t come up. In ordering to be the best or greatest you have to make a undisputed global impact worldwide
if i hit the lottery and won millions of dollars, the first thing i would do is give aesop a cool 1 mil. he deserves to never worry about money again, his art is so good and so underappreciated. its truly a crime how he is treated.
I mean follow his IG. Seems to have a nice place, lives with his cat, goes skateboarding with his friends all the time, works on music. Dude seems to have it figured out.

Did anybody else laugh out loud when the interviewer asked Aesop Rock "do you still really think you're living THE DREAM?" Just look at Aesop's fucking face. Does it look like he's living a fucking dream? It looks like he's living a depressing nightmare LOL.
Aesop rock and MF Doom... my personal 2 best lyrical geniuses in rap of all time...hard to make that argument in most circles... but lol... fight me on this one... i stand by that statement
this guy deserves all the music accolades and writing awards going....he is a gifted individual who doesn't get nowhere near enough praise in my eyes..
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you Aesop. People can say whatever they want about his music. Even say it causes a headache but no one can ever say it's boring. Also it's a good profiling tool for seeking out my kind. Always get excited like a teenager listening. So yeah. Thank you to him.
I've always been really picky about what Rap I listen to. It's a genre of music that is represented the least in my "wheelhouse". Grew up on the real early stuff, but its just how my musical path went. All I gotta say is this dude is something special. Not only cause he's a serious badass artist, but he's so chill and humble, too! Thankful someone did me the favor of turning me on to his tracks and I try to pay it forward as much as I can. Good art is good for the soul, transcends genre and time....And everybody needs to hear this sh*t! lol
You're my idol man, keep doing exactly what you're doing. I hold you in my mind compared to many of my favourite poets. You seem to have a deep love of Tolstoy, if theres one thing I could say its that you more than anyone carry on that legacy
I've always known of him, but it wasn't until Malibu Ken that I REALLY listened. Holy moly, I need a time machine, because this man is a poet fucking laureate. Feel bad it took me so long to catch up
Homemade Mummy is probably my fav song of his and I've been listening to him for around fifteen years. Meaningful, catchy and good verses, plus manages to be uplifting or sobering. Quite the beast.
Asap Rock the original! One of my fav underground East coast underground hip hop artist! Saw him live and he was amazing! We need this real music to be heard!
+Luwis Marquez no one could be as logical and responsive as he was in this video if they were on any drugs. You can tell hes just had a long night haha
Bro, you’re the most demonstrable rapper, but your beats and delivery goes over people’s heads. If I could have one gift from you it’d be bangers, and you know what I mean. Aesop Rock Rap God
I never really liked rap. Especially enough to listen to someone’s albums back to back to back and AES is the only artist where I’ve looked high and low to find anything he’s made or been apart of. I’m late to his career and wish I could’ve found him much earlier, it would have helped in life. My kids love his music and I’m glad they get to grow and listen to his masterpieces. Inspiring the next generation with dope rhymes.
Truly, better late than never. When did you first find out about him and how deep into his catalog are you? lol, Aes has so much to offer and it's been quality from day one!
Aes' ditched the day jobs and casually become the greatest hip-hop artist because it came naturally to him. And still managed to be a humble and just awesome dude.
I want to be in it. I have a book of rhymes I would love to share some with him seeing as how he has shared his with me and it has inspired me so much. I have shared his music with friends and they love it! I just wish I had the motivation to put my stuff out there. I have no beats or music of my own. Aesop has some of the sickest beats and music in his songs. Keep doing it Aesop. You are the man!!
I'm 35 and still have never went to my first concert no artist interest me enough to want to deal with the crowds and bulshit except Aesop he ever comes anywhere close to Florida my ass is going
Look I’ve never had a dream in my life Because a dream is what you want to do but still haven’t pursued. I knew what I wanted and did it till it was done So I’ve been the dream I’ve wanted to be since day one!
no one of this generation even knows this guy.. Hes literally untouchable on word schemes and cadence.. hes so fucking smart i have to literally research have this guys vocabulary hes wicked smaaatt
He's this famous and still doesn't feel "successful" status? It's sad that music doesn't make money like it used to. Hope Aesop gets what he deserves...He's so talented. Words cannot describe how much satisfaction I feel listening to his music.
Even Eminem said that even how things turned out, he will be inside always an outsider. It is reflecting to see these artists dealing with normal thoughts and staying grounded. Maybe Aesop regrets, he is not making paintings.
Why wouldn't you get excited if you can match or even top your old self? Aes needs to realise that he is still living a life and his ride isn't over. There are a whole lotta people who desperately want to be fans of this dude, but just don't know it

He's this famous and still doesn't feel "successful" status? It's sad that music doesn't make money like it used to. Hope Aesop gets what he deserves...He's so talented. Words cannot describe how much satisfaction I feel listening to his music.

It is reflecting to see these artists dealing with normal thoughts and staying grounded. Maybe Aesop regrets, he is not making paintings.
He's is one real dude.
Dope
Yo Aesop Rock s
Homie is a God on the mic and he's so humble. Meanwhile young thug talks like he invented rhyming.
Ahahahahah too true my man!
I agree with him about his best song 😀
Get corpse, get gauze, get comfy!
Why wouldn't you get excited if you can match or even top your old self?
Aes needs to realise that he is still living a life and his ride isn't over.
There are a whole lotta people who desperately want to be fans of this dude, but just don't know it
