If you’ve never listened to Aesop Rock, it’ll most likely sound like harsh noise to you the first few listens, but boy does his music reward you the more you listen. This isn’t background music, listening is WORK- rewarding work. Once your ear gets used to it you’re in for a treat. ā€œBlack Snowā€ is my current favorite on this album.
I recommend patiently making your way through all his work if you’re a rap/poetry/word fan… you will get stuck on specific songs for a while since there is SO much being said in every.single.word.
Best lyricist of our generation and I don’t think anyone disputes that. And an added bonus- his vast vocabulary will make you smarter as you listenšŸ¤“

my younger brother is obsessed with him and for the longest time it was all that he listened to and I didn’t get it. to be fair his early stuff can be a bit rough, but he’s only improved as an artist over the years. his lyrics are also increasingly comprehendible which helps. I took my brother to a concert of his a while back and the energy was insane. now I can appreciate how hype his music is and its uniqueness in the rap world, def the best of the rage type stuff that’s big right now. linked my fav song of his rn, I think it’s the best example of his new era with less repetitive production, actual hooks and structure, and decent lyrics

also ka’s ā€œdescendants of cainā€ ...truthfully almost all his discography lately. it’s nearly all i’ve been listening to. his death has really hit me hard as of late…he was such a gifted wordsmith. master of the concept album. his flow truly feels all knowing, timeless and introspective.

i swear that man is the Truth
some rap songs and voir dire are masterworks of flow and lyricism and they just sound fucking good. feet of clay is good also but depressing and sick is good too but idk doesnā€˜t flow as well as those two records. also he had verse of the year on words2liveby by el cousteau. incredible artist

There are SO many great series out here these days, and this isn’t anything new or groundbreaking, but I’ve been watching Adventure Time since I was a little kid- I have watched it in full dozens of times at least. I’m amazed every viewing at how I am able to understand new profound themes along with new levels of silliness. The creator is basically a genius and I think it’s one of the most beautiful and underrated cartoons everrrrr

I’ve been obsessed with this app that identifies birdies based on their calls and songs! It’s incredible how many different birds are in my yard at different times of day. I’m so excited to use it while traveling toošŸ™Œ
