Beautiful. The way Aesop puts his words and verses together. I always thought this was the second tugboat complex and that it should have been on the Appleseed EP. I love this one and the 3rd one.

Now a days, people pay more attention to the song's beats and either pay little attention or ignore completely the lyrics of a song. whenever i listen to one of aesop's songs, his lyrics are not drowned in the background of the beats, they are front and center. But maybe people today just want something that is simple to understand, they don't want to think about what they said. Until people respect a rapper for his or her words, will Aesop be famous and well known

I have to disagree... Em doesn't make you think or feel like Aes does. There's so much introspection and philosophy in the words and worlds he creates, while Em just rhymes a bunch of swear words together. If you want to use that tree analogy, Em is a branch and Aes is the roots.

I remember when Eminem came out, I was excited b/c his first EP had some good battle rhymes etc. And then the album dropped...what a piece of crap disappointment that was for a long time hip-hop fan (over 20 years now) like myself. Eminem is a product, while Aes is an artist, they just both happen to be white, that's where the comparison ends. And limited is the last thing Aesop Rock is, he has fun songs but they aren't in your ears man, maybe it's like that : "you can't hear Jimmy" thing.
@kylehardy8562

What a walking contradiction... you're one of the few comparing them both. Every eyedea, Cage, Necro etc video i always stumble across the eminem comparisons,, forever discrediting em. They are vastly different artists with completely contrasting styles and musicality, so why write that unnecessary negative comment. i mean if ur on an aesop rock vid, u most likely have good taste in music.. so why not spur a worthy debate on two artists, instead of the same boring Mainstream vs purest underground music arguments.
