		Aesop Rock (born Ian Bavitz) is an avant-garde hip hop musician (rapper and producer) whose albums have been critically acclaimed for their originality and depth.
		Aesop's style blends a varying tone and delivery with subject matter that focuses on intricate sequences of widely varying imagery, metaphors and pop culture references, while including the occasional touchstones of traditional hip hop storytelling and self-promotion.
		In it, Aesop Rock begs that he wants to donate "his brain to the monstrous Panasonic profit," as he sits in front of the television "that will be his mother when she's gone" until his "little eyes glaze." Aesop Rock is not predictable in his lyrics, nor is he with the music.

	Aesop's Fables - Preface (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The rhetoricians and philosophers were accustomed to give the Fables of Aesop as an exercise to their scholars, not only inviting them to discuss the moral of the tale, but also to practice and to perfect themselves thereby in style and rules of grammar, by making for themselves new and various versions of the fables.

		Aesop must have received his freedom from Iadmon, or he could not have conducted the public defense of a certain Samian demagogue (Aristotle, Rhetoric, II 20).
		We are further told that the Athenians erected in his honor a noble statue by the famous sculptor Lysippus, which furnishes a strong argument against the fiction of his deformity.
		It is probable that Aesop did not commit his fables to writing; Aristophanes (Wasps, 1259) represents Philocleon as having learned the "absurdities" of Aesop from conversation at banquets, and Socrates whiles away his time in prison by turning some of Aesop's fables "which he knew" into verse (Plato, Phaedo, 61 b).
