i agree with nick in the fact that its a bold statement to make.
his songs are good though, but he aint dylan.

Yeah, my favorite is definately "No Regrets".
The song he did with Evil Nine, "Crooked" fucking rocks too.
I'm sure you've seen the video. It's awesome.

OK, just listened to some Aesop for the 1st time. I think he has pretty damn good lyrics, but I'm just not feeling his delivery. I mean, there's a song with El-P and when El-P comes one his delivery just way outshines Aesop. I think I get bored with the whole I'm-droppin-conscious-science rap thing after a while. But thanks for turning me onto something new.

DesignCliche, I know you're young and still discovering music, but you hadn't even heard of Jim Morrison when we discussed this in chat. Go delve a little deeper.

Just trying to expand his mind.

I do listen to Jim Morrison.
- robbie_m0
his choice of samples has always impressed me. ive listened to him for years and still dont know what the hell he's talking about..
i.e. what the hell are halo kibbles?!
- fate_redux0
you mean The Doors?
- handsomeboy0
'music for earthworms' is easily his best.
i'd be interested in his new EP just for the lyric book.
