Today, I am seeing Aesop Rock live for the first time ever.  Saying that I'm happy is an understatement, I'm flippin' excited.  When this album dropped (came out), I was on the hunt for a few weeks trying to find it in the local record stores on vinyl.  When I finally found it, they had it on hold for someone, so when I went back a few weeks later and it was STILL on hold, they sold it to me.  I kept it sealed, in it's package, until today because I wanted to give it a spin, seeing as I will be hearing him live in a few hours.  I always respect hip hop artists, especially when their lyrics aren't about bitches and hoes.  Aes has real lyrics that truly tell a story.  His unique type of sound is one that you will have figure out by reading the lyrics or putting the songs on repeat.  Either way, he's great, fantastic and one of my favorites.  A song that stands out the most to me is Crows 1

Enjoy!

Enjoy!
