I never understand when people do that.

It's very true that sometimes it takes time for the artist's aesthetic to click to the audience; approaching things from unexpected perspectives is a healthy exercise, and can arouse all sorts of new ideas.

Absolute classic, this was the song that made me fall in love with BIG's music. His flow on this was immense, and the beat is legendary

Wrap the series of characters that appear after the "watch?v=" in [ youtube ] tags, like so (quote my post to see what I did):

Ahh awesome, thanks man.

Another one, pretty simplistic story, he goes for a bike ride because he's hungover.... but still.

And this one...

And one more epic J-Live tune.

I definitely agree with this, if you approach thing with an open mind, sometimes a change of perspective is all thats needed. If you approach with a closed mind, it won't matter if you approach it differently because you already have a preconceived notion that you won't accept the idea.

Back to Aesop Rock, I didn't use to like him at all either. One of my friends was an avid listner, and he slowly grew on me. I'm still not a massive advocate, but there are allot of his songs that I do like/love. Infact, I really like all of Labour Days.
