Aesop Rock
 

Can anyone suggest any good songs by Aesop Rock? Some of my faves are Bent Life, Big Bang & Dryspell. :hphones:

Daylight

Thanks. Know of any other artists with similar sound? I'm really getting into these guys. Wicked lyric content.

Atmosphere, Cannibal ox, living legends, company flow, sage francis

Thanks, I've heard Atmosphere and Sage Francis. Gonna look into the rest though.

RJD2
Scarab, Asop, and Murs ( individual members of living legends)
Vast-Air
Anticon
Mr. Lif
Blackalicious
Illogic
and anything on DefJux records

Really been getting into the Definitive Jux releases. EL-P is an amazing producer and artist in his own right, whilst Can Ox's 'The Cold Vein' and Aesop Rocks 'Labor Days' and 'Bazooka Tooth' are 3 of my favourite hip hop albums since the turn of the millenium.

Aesop Rock's amazing. I'd recommend getting the albums "Float" and "Labor" to start.

Get Nightlight,and One Brick Great songs by Aesop rock

Float is my favorite album by him.
Me and him have the same name too =D!

My favorites include "The Yes and the Ya'll", "No Regrets", and "Boombox"--all from Labor Days.

just grab the labor days cd. good stuff.
good to see other people appreciate good hip hop. cheers.

Rock The Substance, Sick Friend, 1000 Deaths, anything off of Fast Cars Danger Fire & Knives and Float, and Daylight EP... Most of his stuff is good. He'll be at Bonnaroo this year, can't wait!

Not too big on Aesop Rock, just because he has a very strange voice which causes displeasure to the ears.

Though I do enjoy the album "Float."

"Lucy" I guess is my favorite AR song.

^ good taste. i fogot to mention the coup, very talented artist, fun to listen to.
E40 though.... no

I thought I wouldn't like him when he signed with Lil John but I thought My Ghetto Report Card was pretty solid.

I think Lucy is probably my favorite too... I love the strings.

The Nike+ Continuous Run thing he did is pretty cool too, although it's not in the same vein as his other stuff really - Good to run to as well.

is it just me or has he been getting less and less creative both lyrically and production wise with each new album?

float was amazing, labor days was great, bazooka tooth was just okay...

makes me nervous for the next one >.<

Lyrics is wikced no doubt and i think Float is not very good one

I just pre-ordered his new album from the Def Jux site. Can't wait to hear it.

Aesop Rock "None Shall Pass"
hxxp://www.megaupload.com/?d=7RGP7KG1

he keeps getting worse with every album :(

if your Jesus piece around your neck is bigger than your pistol, it makes homicide okey-dokey, and your God will forgive you. Just show the saints at Heaven's gate you should be on the list. 'I heard he overlooks manslaughter for a tattooed crucifix.'"

"Running from a rabid ring-wraith click basilisk serpentine, in and out of traffic jam and murder scenes. Scrub blood of the AF-152, pick up first degrees. Some toddlers smuggled Tommy guns and crack into the nurseries. Dog, there's a ****ing baby at the door asking for wallets. And those ain't twin Beanie Babies inside his pockets. 2010 sonograms showed the Magnum formed directly out the fetus. Evolution for the young killer convenience."

aesop rock pwns

dont like this guy at all. i used to be into that whole 'emo hip hop' thing. it is pathetically lame.

sage francis, atmosphere, buck 65, etc.

hes the only one i like. Sage Francis is awful, along with the others. But i have a sweet spot for aesop, hes been around since like 96' so its not like he just joined up with the latest fad.

I think None Shall Pass was relatively disapponting lyrically...Otherwise he's amazing.

hes getting lazier with each album.

Bazooka tooth or Float was his best lyrically i think.

FLoat is my favorite.

me too, most complete album of his. His best songwriting so far.

Do you have the Daylight EP? Nickel Plated Pockets and Alchemy are two of my favorites.

The Daylight EP is my favourite.

downloading it now

He's in my 5 favorite artists right now. What a genius.

None Shall Pass(Song) is one of the best productions ever. Blockhead ftw. Not to mention the amazing lyrics by Aesop. Rest of the album is barely above average though.

I thought the production in "none shall pass" was average. Float was more interesting, the hook in "oxygen" being my favorite.

Aesop sounds too mellow in this one, like hes too comfortable. I liked him more when he was paranoid like "big bang" and "babies with guns"

I hope he turns around quick because hes becoming increasingly dull fast.

I mean the song.

I'm seeing him live at the Fillmore on wednesday. Should be great.

I've given None Shall Pass another listen, and concluded that Coffee is one of the most interesting thing's I've ever experienced.
