AESOP Rock is horrible. The only nice track from him I know of is the 1 where he tells the fable of the fisherman. That was dope. Other than that? Naaaaah. and Pac was 10 times better thab Biggie (Personally) I got alot more out of his music than I ever did Biggie. I still like Big but it's always been Pac over him for me. Pac might not of been the most lyrical artist to ever write a verse. The the emotion he projected. His Mic pressence and hunger has never been matched. The closest to him in that respect was Em. But Pac still No 1 in that respect. And the "I can get more out of an RNB song" statement was ludicrous to say the least.

i think Big's smoothness and confidence on a track has never been matched either tho...Big over Pac to me...but i cant fault anyone for saying otherwise...pULSe just keep falling for the same cats over and over...he dont realize that Hip Hop is so much more than just putting complex schemes and vocab together...AZ is nice..but very boring. The best emcees are complete and well rounded.

@Just C LOLWUT?

Aesop is horrible? Dude.. his lyrics alone are off the fucking wall. Vocab alone smashes people. Imagery alone is insane. One thing he does not dominate in is flow. But I have other artists I like for pure flowing. No Aesop is not my favorite lyricist, but he's definitely good... and definitely opens my mind more than most other lyricists.

I'd really like to know what you're basing this "he's horrible" off of.. because from the stats I'm tallying, he's so far from it. The dude's even legit at freestyling (real freestyling, not memorized prewritten shit)



Speak.

I just don't like his delivery . The majority of his beat selections . His voice . I can't relate to or get into his tracks. Only 1 of his songs impressed me from a lyrical point of view. The 1 I described earlier. I remember some of the metaphors he used made me sit up and take note. So I guess it's a fair point to make that he DOES have lyrical prowess. I just can't get into his music and would never consider him anywhere near my top 10 top 20. even top 50 for that matter.

@Just C Fair enough. He does have a weird voice.. a strange flow, and abstracted (but meaningful) content. I can understand why you don't like him though.. thanks for clearing that up.

lol @ easily influenced. You could say I introduced trolling to LB. See before trolling was hurling insults at somebody, it was mind fucking for a good laugh...

But what is this shit that I liked groups with "pharaoh" and "army" in their name... That's 1 group called Army Of The Pharaohs..Stop tryna make 2 separate incidents outta 1 thing...on a further note, how long you been "livin and breathin hip-hop" has nothing to do with how well versed you are on the genre or your knowledge of the game.

& since when was this shit all about "complexity"..Son I appreciate all aspects of the game. the complexity, the story telling, the emotional aspect, the street rap, the gangsta rap, the punchline shit, the humor shit, the horrorcore shit

I embrace all aspects of it. I'll listen to Nas one day and bump Rick Ross the next. I'll listen to Wu Tang one day and bump Dipset the next. I'm very well versed on Hip-Hop and when I label someone as being one of the greatest, it's because I've heard enough of their material versus alot of other rapper material to make that statement (i got the pac, em, nas, jay-z, biggie, az, rakim, wu tang, method man, talib kweli, papoose discographies) & so many more that I can't even name cuz I'll be diggin through my iTunes forever trying to get the point across that I was initially trying to make to you @Krhyme

you can't state an educated opinion without knowing the topic well. the topic being where AZ stands amongst top dogs. Me being the original poster of this thread because I've heard songs upon songs upon songs from many different artists so I can accurately reflect where someone stands amongst other rappers.
