posted Monday, July 09, 2012 2:40:55 AM I'm only 5 tracks in, but so far I think its pretty good. Production is dope, especially for him producing the whole thing himself. Sort of reminds me of labor days with the word play.

posted Monday, July 09, 2012 2:53:28 AM He definitely isn't for everyone. But, I wouldn't go as far to say he is boring. He is like no other artist when it comes to rappinng. But to each their own. I think this is better than his last couple albums.

posted Monday, July 09, 2012 3:19:27 PM Just listened to "Battery" last night. Probably one of my all time favorite Hip Hop songs. I miss Ace spitting over that old Jazzy shit. It offered such a great juxtaposition to his cluttered vocals and frantic flow.
Now dude is rapping over beats that are pretty much the equivalent of his flow. It's literally a case of "too fucking much going on in the song". That being said I'll support this release, as I have all his other albums.

posted Monday, July 09, 2012 5:33:55 PM never liked a whole album fro maesop rock just a song or two here or there, but on the rhymesayers page on youtube. they had a series going of aesop breaking down each song on this album, and some songs I kid you not, are about him getting a fucked up haircut or turning his pet cat into a mummy. The beats on this bang though Im not going to lie, especially zz top, crows 1, and cycles to gehanna (sp) being my fav track on this period.

posted Tuesday, July 10, 2012 7:31:45 AM ^Jaz, since when do I beg people to download my mixes? When ON AVERAGE my mixes get 300-600 downloads, do you really think I'm beggin people? haha Get real, br0! I'm always tryin to get new people to peep the mixes cuz usually it only takes one to get people interested. I make dope mixes that focus on the MUSIC and not me the DJ so of course I want people to listen cuz of the music. C'mon, son!
MP3's suck in the sense if you're REPLACING vinyl & cd's with lame mp3's. If yoar someone who chooses to have an mp3 of somethin you can buy on vinyl then yoar a certified fAGGIT! You know this already. Stop playin dumb.
And I'm not no Qbert or Revolution on the scratch tip, but I can hold my own.
ahhh since when you post like 10 of them all at once and I have a question for you DelUded22...are artists that send DJ's MP3's certified fAGGITs?...are DJ Premier and Afrika Bambaata certified fAGGITs because they use Serato and MP3s at gigs sometimes?.
Are people that buy and own CD's AND MP3's certified fAGGITs?
You live in your own World Shaun, you really do and you must be mad rich because not everyone is a yuppie rich fuck like you and can BUY every record and CD on the market...if you are so anti-MP3 (and this will get ignored yet again)...then distribute your mixes as tapes and NEVER USE MEDIAFIRE etc again because you deluded and idiotic hypocrite if people download your mixes ON MP3 then you are essentially calling them certified fAGGITs.
Why can't your thick skull comprehend this?

Not really digging Aesops voice that much though. His rasp has gotten out of control. Kind of annoys me to be honest.
I liked that song about the dog pulling the kid from the water. Aesop is mad underrated as a story teller
