There's been a turn on aesop in the underground community for a while.
If you notice most of the pop acts in the underground (for lack of a better term) have chosen to be as abrasive and literal as possible.

Thats why most of the younger fanbase doesn't resonate with aesop the way they did even when none shall pass was released. Hip hop is a very fast moving genre.
