UGH i'm glad my friend lent daylight to me and i didnt pay for it, this shit sucks! annoying as hell, i can't believe anyone likes this shit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do you like any other hiphop then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Aesop Rock is unbeleivable. He is amazing. He is one of the best lyricists to ever grace the mic. If you listen to the words, he is one of the cleverest wordsmiths of the last decade. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree, I was just wondering whether he likes any hiphop. do you have float? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have to agree. he's probably the most talented white rapper after eminem, and he certainly trumps eminem in diversity of subject matter. then again, aesop rock is shit in comparison to most of the other hip-hop i listen to. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have got everything he has done including music for earthworms, float, appleseed etc. titsworth, if he is shit compared to most of the other hiphop you listen to, hit me up with some of what you are listening to. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh and by the way I actually think Copywrite is a better rapper than Aesop, and possibly Eminem if we are talking about white boys. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, lately i've been listening to black star (mos def+talib kweli). i just can't stand listening to aesop. his voice is annoying and imo his delivery is shit i'm not trying to be an expert at hip hop (that title is taken by tits :P) but i know what i like, and i definately do NOT like aesop |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i have time and again mentioned who i listened to, but here are just some rappers who i think are better than aesop rock (besides eminem, who i mentioned cos he's also WAT: White And Talented, haha), in no particular order: black thought talib kweli j-live dead prez (both members) mos def common andre 3000 rakim kool g rap nas pharoahe monch gift of gab ghostface gza q-tip del saul williams guru jay-z (that's GOT to sting, huh?) kool keith scarface skillz grand puba |

Fair enough, I suppose Aesop is an aquired taste. The Black Star stuff is amazing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aesop has a cool voice.. it's not completely nerdy, it definitely has some rawness and strength to it. i think his delivery's really creative too. not many rappers can do cynicism the way he does it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd agree with maybe half of them being better than Aesop, less than half being better than Eminem. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wait a minute, how do you get jay z above aesop? fluid delivery yes, but don't you think he's kinda of boring in subject? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's just the line "life isn't a bitch, life is a beautiful woman, you just call her a bitch cause she won't let you get that pussy" makes me want to toss the disc in the fire place |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in all hosenty, i haven't hears a jayz tune that didn't suck imo. subjective i guess. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
But it is an excellent metaphore... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like that line. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i mean, if i had one |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's actually not that good of a metaphor. it's accurate, but also totally crass, morose, and mundane. he could've done better; i dunno why so many people quote that line, i guess they just think it's cool someone said "pussy" in a song. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
jay-z's a better rapper than aesop rock, aesop's a far superior lyricist. i trust you two to understand the difference. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
titsworth you become a condesending prick when it comes to hiphop. :) I have probably listened to as much, maybe even ***GASPS FOR BREATH*** more than you. I know what I like and I don't need to be preached to by you or anyone. I didn't actually quote the line in question, and it wouldn't actually be one of my first choices for quotes because I prefer his early work, before the El-P treatment. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i judge them as overall artists. jayz is horribly uninspiring, aesop's music has something to feel. i don't think the life bitch pussy line is that good either, i just don't mind it and can't see how it would make one want to burn the disc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a fire place not a pussy i hate that word, which is probably why i don't like the song. i really don't think it's that clever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
first of all, you asked me to elaborate on the subject. if you didn't want me to state my beliefs you shouldn't have asked... secondly, i didn't say anything about your taste in music or say you brought up the quote, i just don't think it's a very good one (it's the one everyone brings up). i guess when i say it's a morose quote i'm saying i don't really agree with it fully, so instead of an "accurate" metaphor i just see his point. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
see! i'm not the only one! i didn't even read the other posts before i said that either... pussy doesn't rhyme with much anyways... wussy... thats about it. |
||||||||

Chino XL is better than Aesop Rock...I like Chino XL. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cos it's not a clever line.. it's one of those cringeworthy lines jay-z would say. on the other hand, jay-z's a much more creative rapper in technical terms, not subject matter. he may not be a poet but he's introduced so many different elements to hip-hop it's not even funny*. for specifics i refer back to the last time i talked about jay-z on this board. *it's also not even funny how many times he's ripped off biggie, tupac, snoop, and all kinds of rappers from the 80s. then again, aesop isn't entirely innocent of this either (he just picks different source material). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ras Kass also. I like him. Soul On Ice most slept on album ever, in my opinion of course. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my list was just what i could think of at the top of my head.. there are so many rappers, the list of who are "better" (bullshit terminology, but it's my fault for saying aesop is "shit in comparison" to some of the stuff i listen to) could go on for pages and pages... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you guys just wait till i write my own hip hop (and produce it to boot) i mean, it won't be great, and whether you like it or not you'll STILL have to wait i've been writing :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heh, it was the "shit in comparison" that got me mad. I like the diversity of the hiphop culture and everything it brings. There are very few rappers that I can honestly say I think are totally out and out shit. The one that always springs to mind first is Superhb(?) the Wu Affiliate. |

*recommends you listen to nas' "book of rhymes"* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
people should know by now that when i speak in extreme terms it's just for effect.. not the effect of getting someone mad, of course, just to make 'em think.. still working out the kinks in that method though ;) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
now i gotta buy ANOTHER hip hop album? :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no don't buy it... god's son is overrated.. just download the song. it's not a good song, especially by nas standards, it's just kind of funny. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
jeez titsworth...you're like REALLY smart |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

i'm really smart and you're a KNOW-NOTHING!!!!!!! :p |

i sure do like anticon...i think hip hop hasn't really changed much since tribe and de la and shtoff...but anticon is soooo different 'it's not even funny' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is that supposed to be me or you? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
'it's THEM...with their baby feet and humming birds and milky ways...' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is what 'supposed to be me or you'? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"i sure do like anticon...i think hip hop hasn't really changed much since tribe and de la and shtoff...but anticon is soooo different 'it's not even funny'" i'll play along but i honestly couldn't figure out if that was supposed to be playing up me or you... i don't listen to any anticon and my favorite hip-hop music is in the present, so if that was supposed to be me it'd be inaccurate but an understandable mistake (since anticon is for the pretentious crowd), but it could also be you poking fun at yourself for how you feel.. |

I think aesop rock is black, no? I never really explored his music |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and I second jay-z as being a talented rapper AND lyricist let's not forget 'reasonable doubt' |
