One of my favorite hip hop songs. For awhile I hated the genre, because I was looking at mainstream acts like DMX, Jay Z etc. that have absolutely NOTHING of value to say in their lyrics and can barely put together a couplet. Aesop Rock is everything they aren't. He is quite literally a genius, so I'm not asking that the genre as a whole try to emulate him (an impossibility) - instead, I simply with people would use rap, a very powerful medium, in a more intelligent, thoughtful way.
