I needs moneys

I'm poor. That's an understatement. Unfortunately for my GF and myself, this mid-twenties poverty will only transition into early-thirties poverty and then mid-thirties poverty and so on and so on. The upside to this financial situation is that I sleep at night. I can rest my oversized head on my undersized pillow and sleep soundly knowing that I'm doing the Lord's work and my riches are in heaven. Some of you scoff. Some of you shake your heads. Some of you can relate. Some of you hate me. Well, hate me now. Hate me now.

Aesop's Fables

If you have never listened to Aesop Rock then chances are you have been living under an a-hole rock. However, I am sure that there are some of you out there and this blog is for you, my sweet babies. There's not much to Aesop Rock, other than pure, raw talent and cocaine-level addicting beats with the addition of clever, intelligent rhymes. Also, did I mention raw talent? This dude has been making records for years and each one of them is worth your ear-holes' time in their own right. However, I would recommend starting with the Fast Cars, Danger, Fire and Knives EP. Admittedly, this EP came along midway through Aesop's career, and his early stuff kicks some major underground ass, but Fast Cars is where this humble listener feels a good hip-hop artist became great. He truly comes into his own and his flow is simply too good to ignore. After saturating yourself in Rock's tasty jams found on Fast Cars, proceed to any and all albums that suit your fancy or you happen across. Personally, None Shall Pass is a favorite. Bottom line, get some Aesop Rock inside your cranium via your auditory canal. Holler
