Pretty sure Aesop didn't produce those other albums (and I meant what they have produced themselves, as opposed to the beats they go over).

Blockhead did a majority of the production for Float/Labor Days but Aesop did have his hand in it. If you want to hear early Aesop production listen to Appleseed EP, he produced almost every song.

Appleseed EP - Full Album

Just a little question: what's with everyone talking about the producers in hip hop? On rock albums they might be mentioned in the liner notes if they're lucky.

Because production IS the band, and the MC is the lead singer. It's diff for other music.

Aah, I see. Thanks!

After you listen to hiphop for a while you can recognize producers by their beats similar to how you recognize the way certain bands tune their instruments or something.

RZA, Stoupe, and Primo all come to mind.

Ah I didn't know you were coming at it from that perspective. I was just thinking in terms of the albums released under their names without considering the producer.

Overall I think DOOM has a more impressive and creative backlog of albums with a dip every once and awhile in quality while Aesop pretty much sticks to what he knows and stays on a pretty even keel as far as the kind of music he puts out. DOOM wins, but just by a hair. Take Me to Your Leader, Madvillainy are two of my favorite albums, evar.

Vaudeville Villain
Mm.. Food
Madvillainy
Born Like This
Operation Doomsday
The Mouse & The Mask

DOOM'S arsenal of material not only makes him a better MC, but also makes this thread arbitrary, and Aesop Rock obsolete.

No love for 'The Mask and the Moustache'?
