What I like about Aesop the most is he’s the manifestation of an artist that’s open for interpretation some songs he makes you really get the message and others are so abstract there’s no point trying to pin it to one spot.

Aesop is such a normal dude in such a strange world, he's convinced he is the crazy one.

We concur! Great interview. Both are legends in the Culture.

Hands down the best Aesop rock interview, the relationship between him and mike make this a great listen.

He'll never know how much I love him, and I love that for him.

This has stood the test of time to be my favorite artist interview ever.....

you can hear Kirby meowing in the background lol

Aesop rocks music has saved my life more times than I can count

I never really listened to any interviews of Aesop, and I did not expect his "normal conversation" voice, to be so.. Normal.. His rap voice, I think, is THE shit.

When he went to feed the cat and cat food started playing, I was like "damn that's a good intro"

He is his own style and has no competition...he’s on top when it comes to rap

When these two finish their rap careers (hopefully never), they need to do interviews like this with other rappers. Could listen to Aes and OME forever.

Bazooka tooth and Float were the first albums I heard from Aesop. I remember thinking "holy shit, this guy gets it. "; prior to hearing Ace I felt pretty isolated as a writer, having very little to relate to aside from maybe the Beat writers like Kerouac and Burroughs.... But only because I share their philosophy when it comes to writing.. Not stylistically similar though. Ian Matthias Bavits (Aesop) sounds ridiculously similar to the style I developed in highschool, years before I listened to rap at all, let alone even heard of the Def Jux dudes like Aesop.. Which is crazy mostly because my style is idiosyncratic to a fault... Too similar.. Especially since neither of us are influenced by the other (obviously).. Yup....

i've never listened to an interview 3 times, until this one. dude is so inexplicably inspiring, but it's not like he's probably saying something that most artists don't say anyway. he's a simplistic cat, but he's one of the most complex dudes in the game, or anything else artistic.

I’ve looked up quite a bit about Aesop and that’s sorta my hobby for rap is getting into peoples heads about where they’ve been and what influences at what point ect… Aesop is the producer for most of is projects he has a lot of who play instruments who he sources sounds from but for the most part he is the main producer. A project like Impossible Kid listed about 3-4 executive producers as well so he has a lot of help. But Blockhead didnt a lotttt of the work for Float.
