Nice. The first album.
Is it your first, or do you have the others?
(Cause it gets better and better)

If not, make it a specific agenda to get everything he's ever put out. All the EP's, albums, everything.
I have his entire catalog on my thumbdrive and I just plug it up to my head unit and every time I'm in my car, I'm blessed.

I used to own one of the original cd-r copy of this when it came out 12 years ago. I have everything but None Shall Pass, which I don't want.

None Shall Pass is the only one I have

Yea I didn't think NSP was his strongest either, but I still love some of his ideas in the album.

Aesop's been recyclin' too many of his lyrical Ideas progressively since labor days. None Shall Pass is a great album, It just doesn't seem like Aesop anymore.

Dude, with the sheer volume of information Aesop inserts into his lyrics, he's bound to repeat a phrase or two. The most notable of which, "must not sleep". But that's his creed. He has it tattooed on his arms.

I notice some of the same themes between albums, but lyrically, he's vague enough to allow for multiple interpretation when it comes to a main point.

When you have a sort of stream-of-consciousness style of lyric, coupled with as many albums as he's put out, you're going to find consistencies of idea. Not saying it's an excuse for not progressing, but unless you're making a lyrical catalog of everything that happens to you, you're not going to have an infinite number of things to touch on.
