^"Life's not a bitch. Life is a beautiful woman. You just call her a bitch cause she won't let you get that pussy."

First person I've seen on here that's even _heard_ of him. Been a fan for a while now. Top five for me. "No Regrets" is the kinda song every emcee needs to hear.

Really? You were one of the few I'd think would appreciate him. Dude speaks strictly in metaphors. At first listen I liked the flow and hated the lyrics. Then I actually sat down and read lyrics and lost my shit like runaway septic tanks.

Aesop is a brilliantly talented MC,his shit ain't hood....but his intellectual shit gets minds moving. He ain't on the same level as EL-P but he is steps above the majority of the mediocre garbage going on.

Alright, legit. I agree that's really important. Everyone's got a different ear. Personally, I can bump to this shit all day. Specially Blockhead's solo work. (Instrumentals. He makes most of the beats for Aesop.)
