So yeah, Aesop for me, and his beats are pretty great in my view.

I would say that my opinion is the exact opposite of this. No way is Aesop anywhere near Doom in terms of lyrical ability when looking at syncopation, word play, and just the overall skill he displays with the English language. Doom has thought of rhymes that Aesop couldn't think of if he had a hundred lifetimes. However, while I say this it does not mean Doom's subject matter is better than Aesops, because at times Doom raps about the dumbest things. Doom's got the vast edge for me though. Beats, rhymes, style, flow, history, all of it weighs in favor of MF for me.
