I fucking hate you.

The Harbor Is Yours [None Shall Pass]

Edit:
Honestly I can probably feel good about changing that list a hundred times. Those are just the first ones I think of when I consider the albums. There are very few of his songs I actually don't like a lot.

I still need to get Music For Earthworms though. I've heard it but I don't have it.

Word, here, check these out if you haven't heard them, some of my favorite Aesop Rock verses

Other favorites: How to be a Carpenter, Battery, 6B Panorama, Big Bang, Save Yourself

Big Bang was great. Float was definitly my favorite album. Blockhead minimalist production with a more raw and energized aesop was awesome.

I agree with that. The fact that the instrumentation supporting Aesop on Float is so bare makes all of his words feel that much more important, too.

He was amazing last night, hell even both of the opening acts were amazing. His setlist included stuff pre-Float all the way up to None Shall Pass and only a few of his bigger hits. I also got to shake his hand after the show and tell him that I use to listen to "9-5er's Anthem" every morning on the walk to a job I hated. He laughed, thanked me, and then went to get a drink, along the way a girl just started freaking out because she was so close to him, it was quite amusing.

Nice!
I'm pretty jealous right now.

Excited about picking up this new album. It's Aesop Rock, Rob Sonic, and DJ Big Wiz.

Rob Sonic has always been a great lyricist, I remember downloading one of his albums and not really caring for it, but still liked him as a rapper.

Loved this song though.
