Aesop Rock makes me...

...talk nonsense.

I have just been talking to a friend on the phone after
listening to Aesop for a couple of hours and I was talking
complete gibberish.

I love his early albums even if they do make me converse in
a most uncohesive fashion.

Rap, and very good rap at that. He is very very wordy
though.

It took me a while (several listens of Daylight) to get
accustomed to his style (and voice) but now I have I'll
probably download his albums again. And perhaps even buy
them someday! :)

check out the Prefuse73 track "blacklist" with MF Doom and
Aesop on it.

I thought Labor Days was one of the best of 2001... he's
great. Still haven't got Bazooka Tooth yet, but have been
meaning to. Is it any good?

Not as good as his early stuff in my opinion. The new Jux
production styles on his tracks don't suit his flow...well
that's what I think anyway.

i think Bazooka Tooth is self-produced, whereas Floar and
Labor Days are both mainly produced by Blockhead (one of the
new dudes on Ninja Tunes) if i'm not mistaken... his older
stuff is nice, but i'm not really feelin' the new one all
that much...

Yes...I think it mostly is self produced but there is a
definite El-P influence there. I think the Daylight EP
suffered from a lack of Blockhead material and too much
El-P. I love Float, Labor Days. Music for Earthworms and so
on...and listen to them far more than his new stuff.

I love El-P's work in general though before anyone starts
bashing me for hating.

El-P is the fucking man.

Aesop is a prominent "Def Jukie", but I don't have any of
his CDs yet, but I heard a couple of his songs from some
compilations I have.

As for Cannibal Ox, El-P, and RJD2, they are my top 3 on
Definitive Jux.
