I'll own up to voting Black Star. While I recognize Aesop Rock is the most intricate lyricist of the bunch, voice and production are real road blocks for me fully enjoying listening to him. I think the combination of Mos Def and Talib Kweli makes for a better overall product than any of Aesop's albums as a whole.

Life is just blah, blah, blah
You hope for blah
And sometimes you find it, but mostly it's blah
And waiting for blah
And hoping you were right about the blahs you made
And then, just when you think you've got the whole blah'd damn thing figured out
And you're surrounded by the ones you blah
Death shows up... anddd blah, blah, blah.
