I took issue with a couple of ideas presented earlier, as a very irregular Aesop listener:

Well, Ghostface doesn't exactly have the best hooks, and a lot of his songs are either practically devoid of them or having ones that sound almost exactly like ones you've heard before. Examples: "All" of
Iron Man and
Supreme Clientele.

... that his hyperbole should mean that much to me that I'd have to sieve through the Da Vinci Code in order to find something Rick Ross says much more clearly.

This comparison is so off the wall it seems like it could have been aired on Family Guy sketch. Unless you're relating hyperbole, I really have to question the merit of this claim; and if you are, I'd still contend that, well, Rick Ross is sh
it and you should probably stop comparing him to anyone.

Why people would dedicate so much time in trying to decipher what he's saying rather than just listen to something melody driven, or less chauvinistic stumps me.

To the bolded: Um, what?
To the rest: Does that invalidate modernist literature or drone music? In terms of deciphering and melody respectively.

...I am doing so to find out why you guys like him so much.

Is that why you haven't actually responded to anyone who answered your "opinion"?

Also, if you're going to reply saying his lyrics are good, etc. That too is an opinion. It is your opinion that said lyrics are in fact 'good'

Well... what exactly do you want us to answer with? A list of allusions? A beat with discernible melody that is (by opinion's measure) accessible? How many metaphors per bar?
If you're not even going to consider anyone else's "opinions," why in the hell should we consider yours?
