Okay, so here's my question: do you (serious hip-hop heads) genuinely dislike Aesop Rock and/or think he's a bad rapper, or is the issue just exasperation with all the indie kids who are like "Aesop is the best rapper ever, this is what hip-hop should be."

(Yeah, I'm a white dude from indie kid roots, and I liked Aesop years before I actually liked hip-hop in general, but I've been listening to lots of hip-hop for the past couple years, and I just revisited Aesop and still think his stuff is pretty drat good.)

Oh wait, you said "serious hip-hop heads" but in the SAGSKTA, that term is reserved for a few prestigious posters. :angel:

Haha, good to know. Your opinion still counts, most people in the thread are still probably higher up on the hip-hop knowledge scale than I am...

Blue Sky Black Death on the beats? Sold without even listening

Any recommendation on other great BSBD productions? I'm enjoying For the Glory--I like rap by dudes who like playing with words--but especially liking the beats.

MNIMN, thumbs down. Maybe I'm tired by its bland compared to stuff I've already heard. I'm not surprised but there goes another shot on the NMD Raps Roulette.

I wondered if this would be the response. I'm enjoying a bunch of MNIMN. What should I be listening to if I *haven't* heard that much a lot like it?

edit: thanks. Yeah, never actually listened to Hell Hath No Fury, assumed that would be one rec. I do often like the particularly good Neptunes productions.
