I think it just officially happened with Skelethon. The culmination of everything, its enough.

Yeah, his production completed him as an artist for sure.

No. 1 Hip Hop GOAT for me.

I knew Aesop was a great producer (I even preferred his earlier stuff to Blockhead's), and I was still impressed at the production on Skelethon. That being said, it still doesn't tip the scale into his favour over DOOM. It's still going to take a lot more for me to give Aesop the edge in that category.

Fair play. Didn't expect you to change, knew DOOM was your No. 1. But for me, in terms of lyrical skill, there isn't a comparison.

It's different styles, really. Lots of comparisons between the two, sure, but different methods of delivery, different types of songs more or less.

DJ Shadow

Boooooo

I agree with lyricism (DOOM is great but Aesop is definitely better in that category), but the main kicker for me is style. DOOM's just a lot cooler and more fun to listen to than Aesop.

Yeah, and I would certainly take DOOM's discography over Aesop's.

weak ass threads over at musicbanter, i must say
