Greatest White Rapper *Poll*

I'll agree Aesop's voice is much more commanding and memorable than Em's.. that's not even a fair comparison. Aesop's whole trademark is a voice that sounds like it's been subjected to years and years of whiskey and cigarette abuse.

It's funny...I almost posted this last night but went ahead and relistened to Float and Labor Days since those were the Aesop albums that I remembered being into more. I was gonna say Aesop sounds sleepy and tired on a lot of songs. But it did give me something to go and see what y'all are saying. It did re-affirm my feelings of hate on Aesop's flow or lack there of. Sometimes he hits and has a great flow and sound, but the next 3 have neither. That and he tries way to hard to have creative lyrics. I'd much rather have a phenomenal story than some really great imagery about nothing.

And with Eminem, he's got some 12 year old sounding songs I'll agree, but then he has a "kim" where you realize that he probably is as crazy as some of the songs he does. "The Way I Am", etc.

I definitely prefer Aesops voice, though it does sound forced a lot. His lyrics are a little too absurd i agree, especially with some of the more recent stuff.

But i'm surprised you disliked Bazooka tooth the most Alejo, it has the most straightforward rhymes of any aesop album.

Eminem seems to regurgitate the same material over and over though. At least on the Relapse, he talks about ****ing lesbians in at least 4 of the songs.

Bazooka Tooth was AWFUL. I wouldn't say I'm a huge Ace fan, but I do dig most of his work. That album was horrible though. I don't even remember why I don't like it. Just that I didn't bang my head once and all his lyrics seemed like he was bragging about something, and I remember being mad I wasted my eighteen bucks.

Bazooka Tooth was allright. None Shall Pass is grossly overrated.

Yeah it was. He's starting to wear out those coat tails though.

BT just never caught on with me. Maybe I'll listen to it later, but I distinctly remember hating it.

And for those arguing Aesop, I'd argue this guy is #2 [behind Eminem Bane ha]
YouTube - Zion I - Caged Bird Pt. 1 (feat. Brother Ali)

Ali is the second guy on. I'd probably put Slug before Aesop, too.

Surell · 06-06-2009, 08:15 PM

OK, I think I have someone who's a contender against Em, and has an even more 12 year old sounding voice:

mc chris. Dude can spit, he can tell a story, and he's funny as hell.
