      They the reasons rappers "retire" they hear songs like this or "Vowel Movement" - atmosphere - or "Falling in Flames" - murs - and feel like... shit... I am fake as fuck

    no one touches aesop, he stands alone. aesop is a self-modified genius, a product of a perfect storm of influence, environment, and a work ethic next to none. he grew up in a jazz club from a young age for christ's sake.

      Aesop Rock, MF DOOM (LONG LIVE!), Doseone (& his 23+ groups/projects), Buck 65, Sixtoo, Busdriver, CLIPPING, Sage Francis, Myka 9, Open Mike Eagle, Eyedea, Homeboy Sandman, Edan, Atmosphere, Black Thought, could go on for days: but aes, dose, buck, sage & bus are a solid top 5 if need be…no order tho & CLIPPING because they’re a group that elevates the whole art from concepts to mastering as much as any one of these cats has done for lyricism, flow & phonics!

    Aesop is always an intellectual study. Love everything he does. But personally? I gotta give it up to slug. He always packs logical emotional punch. And he does so by keeping It as simple to understand as possible. Love that kind of simple writing.

    I could be wrong, but to my knowledge Atmosphere was originally called Urban Atmosphere and Spawn was a member until after the Overcast album. Headshots was essentially the name of the collective before Rhymesayers. The name changed after some falling out and differences among various members.
