Aesop Rock is still pretty great, i just never feel like listening to him anymore.
That's funny, I'm the opposite. I always thought El-P was kinda copying Aesop up until I'll Sleep When You're Dead. I dunno - I guess they just used similar styes (monotone, fast, clever, and wordy). El-P always felt angrier and more aggressive but Aesop comes off as a unique sagely rap genius to me.

Also, I almost never listen to El-P anymore (when I do it's always Fantastic Damage) but still a lot of Aesop Rock.
