this album confuses the shit about of me.
i truly don’t know if i think this is a work of absolute genius and one of the best albums ever, or if i’m just bugging and it’s complete shit. like people could reach either conclusion and i’d say fair play. but i think i probably love it?
worth your time one way or another. and the art is absolutely wild

If you’ve never listened to Aesop Rock, it’ll most likely sound like harsh noise to you the first few listens, but boy does his music reward you the more you listen.
This isn’t background music, listening is WORK- rewarding work. Once your ear gets used to it you’re in for a treat. “Black Snow” is my current favorite on this album.
I recommend patiently making your way through all his work if you’re a rap/poetry/word fan… you will get stuck on specific songs for a while since there is SO much being said in every.single.word.
Best lyricist of our generation and I don’t think anyone disputes that.
And an added bonus- his vast vocabulary will make you smarter as you listen🤓

"Ｌｏｖｉｎｇ ｙｏｕ ｉｓ ｃｏｍｐｌｉｃａｔｅｄ"
a concept album that weaves a soul, funk and jazz infused narrative with the rapper's struggles balancing the discriminated background he came from versus the hypocritical position of power he ended up in
yeah yeah, everybody and their mama has talked about this album, we all know it's good, what else is there to say? well namely, a decade later, this album is not only as poignant as ever, but it truly feels like it will become timeless
the cohesiveness and the way it truly feels like you're being taken on a hero's journey is where this thing truly shines. the narrative crafting on this is something you almost never see anymore. the LYRICAL MOTIFS my god
and even if it didn't have all that, it's got hits!! alright? these walls? king kunta? wesley's theory? like come awn
i still cry to u every fucking time i listen to it
anyways yeah it's good not news keep it movin
(my absolutely chaotic evil thought is that somebody should adapt this into a musical like green day's american idiot it probably won't be good but i'm morbidly curious)

leaves you susceptible to dating someone for too long because they play a role rather than it being about who they are. if you go in open to every situation, it will play out as its supposed to naturally (sometimes with a little nudge)
