I swear to god I didn’t make this up. And yet people will tell you he is the greatest rapper who ever lived. It reminds me of the story ‘The Emporer’s New Clothes.’ Aesop Rock is spinning invisible thread, and yet because everyone says how great it is, people follow along and support him. When is somebody going to finally step up and say, “but his music is terrible?”

It's called poetic license. He using the texture and inherent connotations of the words he uses to indirectly paint a picture. No it doesn't rhyme, thank god, and I like the fact that a lot of his lyrics don't make immediate sense. Aesop Rock goes beyond the limiting criteria ofwhat has defined hip hop for the past 30+ years and creates his own criteria. That's the definition of of a pioneer. So go home and listen to your "real hip-hop" followers.
