  Aesop Rock . Aesop Rock Reluctant Superhero: Part One [prefixmag feature]
Aesop Rock stopped at the bottom of the stairs leading up to his brownstone apartment in Brooklyn to talk to his elderly neighbor.
Despite the fact that Aesop is rap's new face; despite that he's the anchor on the powerful, influential and increasingly omnipresent independent rap label Def Jux; despite that he's ogled and adored; his neighborly behavior is not surprising.
Aesop's uneasiness with his new fame is well documented, mostly in the hidden track on last year's Daylight EP and on this year's Revenge of the Robots Def Jux tour DVD, but also on this album.

Aesop Rock will be hung in the village square in exactly five minutes and he doesn't want you to miss it.
Aesop Rock rapid fire rapping pulls from pop culture in thoughtful and insightful ways.
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 Rock: The Pharmacy - Definitive Jux Download Store
Forgoing the typical stance of braggadocio everpresent in underground and mainstream hip-hop alike, Aesop Rock investigates and examines himself and others on this album, likening the title phrase to the inevitable judgment that everyone must encounter by their peers based solely on their actions.

 :: urban smarts . com | aesop rock : bazooka tooth | review ::
This, Aesop's third "official" album (which is actually his fifth), is the first of any of his releases on which he handles the majority of the production himself.
Aesop's own production style has clearly inherited some influence from El-P in that a number of the tracks on "Bazooka Tooth" are made up from various cluttered sounds, and altering drum patterns.
Of Aesop's own production, "Mars Attacks" is probably the most approachable - it's initially led by a small twanging loop, but then the tempo changes up, and Aesop Rock breaks into one of his all-too-rare double time verses.

Aesop Rock's city is NYC and he knows every inch and every crack - "Nickel Plated Pockets" throws out rhymes so real you can almost smell the drains or hear the rustle of change as he swerves to avoid the "horns, jackhammers and brake whistles".
ive been a fan of aesop rock since his appleseed ep days, since then his next two albums float and labor days mesmerised everybody with an unparalleled flow, delivery and a genuine love for language.
but this ep (as well as his previous) handles aesop at his best, both daylight and nightlight are fantastic displays of lyricism and production that are quite frankly untouched by his current hip hop peers, the same goes to nickel plated pockets and especially the secret track.

 Buy.com - Bazooka Tooth (Explicit Version) - Aesop Rock - CD
Stream-of-consciousness lyrics, stuttering beats, and troglodyte bass lines are the bedrock to Aesop Rock's BAZOOKA TOOTH, a collection of almost freeform rapping that boasts some fashion-forward sampling in a grinding collision of words and found sounds.
Rock's third collection of underground rap continues the Brooklyn-based rapper's original course of combining a fusillade of words--some rhyming, some not--with a thick, grainy production (this time courtesy of Def Jux label honcho El-P) that complements his leaps of rhyme and logic perfectly.
New York MC and beat-maker Aesop Rock offers rapid-fire, often stream-of-consciousness lyrics, stuttering beats, and a frequently murky, atmospheric production aesthetic, making him one of the most distinctive hip-hop artists of his era.

Since his 1999 breakthrough debut, Float, Aesop Rock has been one of the most recognizable, divisive, and talented voices in the underground rap scene.

 Billboard.com - Discography - Aesop Rock - Bazooka Tooth
The beats are dense and the bass-lines dark, like street-level rap is supposed to be, with a jumble of murky samples and angled effects coming from every direction.
And Ace Rock's lurching, nasally flow and obscurist rhymes may not carry every lyric across, but do allow listeners to marvel at the few legible lines.
With most of the productions coming from Aesop himself (along with Def Jux mainstay Nasa), Bazooka Tooth lacks the catchy, sample-driven flavor of Labor Days, but does set a standard for basement-level beats, with some of the best hashed-and-screwed productions heard on Def Jux since the Cannibal Ox masterpiece The Cold Vein.

Strong Island microphone magician Aesop Rock is part of hiphop's adventurous new breed whose records typically get filed in the "other" section.
But what used to be the dumping zone for oddball Brit MCs shouting about truncheons and lorries over Hanged Man loops has become the catch-all for artists who want to avoid the booty 'n' bullets conventions of commercial rap.
So while Aesop Rock's relentlessly incisive Labor Days (Def Jux) will be in good company when store clerks drop it in the hiphop section's "other" bin, he's still baffled by the need for such distinctions.
