YMMV: Aesop Rock
|
- And the Fandom Rejoiced - The announcement of Skelethon, Aesop's first solo record in five years. And again when "Zero Dark Thirty", the first single from it, dropped.
- Broken Base - Almost to the point of having a Fandumb, if Aes ever sold out and when he did it are hot topics among the fandom, to the point where there are almost as many answers as there are fans.
- Take That - Quite a few, but they're usually hidden among as many layers of metaphor as everything else, making it hard to tell who he's take thatting against.
- "We're Famous" with El-P is one against rapper Esoteric.
- True Art Sticks It To The Man - Most of Labor Days, and a good chunk of his other songs as well.
- True Art Is Incomprehensible - Subverted to a degree, most of his lyrics sound outright nonsensical until you learn the metaphors he uses again and again, at which point you'll begin to get meaning out of them.
- True Art Is Offensive - Averted for the most part, unless one wants to count "Holy Smokes" and "Babies With Guns".
- Viewers Are Geniuses - Arguably applies, not only that, but it's a good thing in this case, as it makes his songs multilayered and easy to interpret in different ways. As usual, YMMV.
