He's definitely not underrated just under heard. Go ahead and try to spread his work... I'm guessing you might hit one in ten people even if they don't suck. It's just what it is... If you're with it you're all the way but I feel like it's too idiosyncratic or requires too much work or whatever the case may be for mass appeal. He's been putting out too much unearthly sh!t for too long and has a wide enough base... If he was going to be a household name it would have happened already.

Isty bitsy fork and spoon! The sample at the end had me tripping, I remember that from my childhood! - Psalty Kids Praise 5 video Joseph Spurgeon posted the whole thing as "Psalty Goes Camping." The sample comes from around 1:50 into that video. As always, Aes Rock crushing it. If you watch the source video, it might trip you out. It is about a different "spirit world."

Maybe it just happens when you've been doing it for as long as him, but I think Aesop's line "I don't aim to please, I don't aim at all" is kind of hilarious. Way back on Big Bang, he said quite the opposite, "I rock 'ready, aim, fire,' while you rock 'ready, fire, aim.'" Change in his character? Maybe. Probably just running out of words in the dictionary, considering how many he uses each song.

Felt like Mikey was standing there next to Aes when he was drawing out the parameters of this album. Esp. The Intro!

The outro is from Kids' Praise! 5: Psalty's Camping Adventure. Aesop, Ian, was raised in a very catholic family. So I'm sure this was something forced on to him as a kid in 1985.

Once I hurd at the gates the day the cd was dropped I bought the album and im so happy I did its fuck amazing

Aesop is hip-hop's diamond in the rough. I've been listening to Ace since I was 16, so a couple years shy of two decades. I've always been fascinated by his lyrics, and inspired by his genuine uniqueness. There's nothing like Aesop's flow. His older stuff especially has this nostalgic effect on me... sort of like listening to Boards of Canada?: Ace's music puts me in a certain frame of mind. It's grounding, yet liberating. Much respect and admiration.
