    I tried to get into his music in the early 2000s during Def Jux's heyday. I even copped "Labor Days" which wasn't a bad album. But Aesop overall reminds me of a more boring version of El-P. They have similar styles but you can tell that El was smoking blunts in train yards doing graffiti while Aesop was in the library playing Dungeons and Dragons.

    Huge fan, got into him when None Shall Pass dropped, fav album would have to be Float or Labor Days though. I've always been into the abstract Hip Hop artists and he's one of the kings of that s---.

    I've listened to some songs of his. He says a lot of big words and stuff so he's probably good but I'm not a fan
