new aesop rock cd

[enue]

aesop rock just dropped a new album called bazooka tooth. hes not for everyone but if you know him you know he can spit circles round anyone.

 

[Cold Truth]

thats cool... i am not a fan at all, but props to el-p for what he is doing with the label as a whole. he is the master p of the backpack crowd. now if we can just let them know that it is ok to get some money and radio love....

ive streamline the album and i think it is his worst release so far.

float and labour days shits on bazooka tooth in my opinion. thats only my personal taste though. mainly because i like blockheads production better than el-p production. Also, bazooka tooth just sounds like a really angry album. his previous albums had different lyrical styles....from sad, to angry, to happy. on bazooka tooth he just sounds like he is screaming a bunch of shit.

dont get me wrong, Aes Rock is one of my fav MCs. He is a dope writer. Most of the time cats dont like him simply cos they cant understand him. For me, the lyric he spits on labour days..... "Ill put your life in a basket before you can say instant classic"....sums up the album. Labour days is classic simply for the fact that Aes so clearly exposes the foundation of our culture. That album contains lyrics which I live by....so I love it very much.

I suppose its unfair for me to compare bazooka tooth to labour days sinc i havnt heard the WHOLE bazooka tooth album...but i can say, that if Aes Rock was to release an album which was better than Labour Days, it would almost automatically be release of the year (for me)

anyways....ill shut the fuk up now since i originally intened to reply to this thread with "yeah aesop is dope.....one of the dopest...cats need to stop sleeping on him."

out

Dam! Really Mess?...Im pretty much diggin tha entire album...shits pretty ill to me.
As for older drops - aside from float and labor days - my fav. would have to be 'music for eartheworms', and even tha 'Appleseed' LP was ill az fuck.
I think i jus like those releases more cuz it shows his earliest skills and has a slightly diff. sound due to that growing up stage - yet he still delivers in those albums just as well.

As for Bazooka Tooth - id have to say im almost as content with it as music for earthworms - almost.

i havnt heard music for earth worms or apple seed but id love to hear his earlier work. i havnt seen it in shope but im sure ill come across it one day

 

[Shonsteez]

Actually you wont - both are out of press.
If you ever pay close attention to aesop's lyrics youll notice he'll add a verse every once and a while saying somethin like - "i had em all up late, thinkin i'd re-release music for earthworms"....
I suppose it makes it kind of a novelty that way sorta?

 

[Equality 7-2521]

yeah Duece.....when i said that i will probably come across it, I didnt mean in the shop. I meant that I might come across a cat with it on CD which I could burn. Who produced his old shit?

Has Aes's style changed dramatically?

 

[enue]

yeah mess float and labor days are deff sicker then the new shit. but theres a few tracks on the new one that are pretty ill. and his "daylight" ep is pretty nice.

 

[Equality 7-2521]

yo Duece.....ive noticed that we dig some of the same artists.

Im onto all the DefJux, Anticon, Project Blowed, Mush etc

Can you give me a list of some of the lesser known artists you have heard which are dope.

The reason I asked is because I picked up a record the other day called Young Jo - Summer Fling. It had a home-made looking lable in the center of the record and the album features a shit load of artists.....Maleko, SFSM and Deskee to name a few. I had never heard of ANY of them (including Young Jo) but ALL of them were fucking DOPE! Later I found out that they were all from crews called WESTCOAST WORKFORCE and SHAPE SHIFTERS (of which Awol One is a part)

anyway...ever since i got the record, I have been fiending for some artist who few people know of, but which are dope as hell.

if you cant help me out, no worries
if you can, cheers heaps

voice your opinion on Aes Rocks new album

OR

take your irrelevance somewhere else

 

[Shonsteez]

Nice, real Nice... Ok, this is what you call a cheapshot. Theres wasnt even a valid opinion - just pure idiocy.
Why dont you take your ignorant comments to goldmic where you can get all tha attention you want. Im sure they'll have open arms for a jerk like you...trust me youl fit right in.

Well Mess it sounds like your on tha same page as i am, but if you want i can throw together a short list...

 

[Equality 7-2521]

lol...

so you cant help me out Duece?

 

[Shonsteez]

No - Here ill throw some out there. Its jus that i thought it sounded like you prob. already know all tha shit i do?....


How About Trying:

Sacred Hoop....SF BAY (Ive been to numerous house parties where these guys ripped tha shit a mad one)

Lexicon...LA Based group i think? They dope though - Mc skills could show improve a little, but tha beats are so hot its hard to hate....Look for tha album titled - "Its tha L"

Any Living Legends....Ive been a fan of tha legends for quite some time now and you cant go wrong with those guys.

Sage Francis...I assume your already hip to this artist since he's catchin fame now like Atmosphere.

Styles of Beyond...These young guys, well their prob. not young anymore - but when i first bought theyre shit they were def kids....these guys are tight too.(they jus dropped a new one too - its supposed to be good)

C Rayz Walz...I jus bought this album and its hands down pretty adictive.
(DEF JUX)

People Under tha Stairs...I figure your hip to these guys also, but anyway they havent droped one wack album yet and their pushin like 4 releases along with a B-Sides you can only get with tha pre-order of tha new album on hiphopsite.com.( I also jus bought this ablum -and its good)

7L and Esoteric...These dude rap with tha Demigodz which is also a tight crew to look for and theyre pretty ill.

Encore...this guy iz tight az fook, but im not sure where hes from...If you go buy his stuff look for an album by tha name of "Self Preservation"....Youll dig it i think.

Well, thats it for now.
Let me know if you want more or if i helped.
