![]() ![]() But time makes the melodramatic seem merely morbid and Aesop Rock is now 36- old enough to have two eyes on the odometer and a psyche swamp-drained by the disintegration of labels, loves, and all carbon life around him. Probably the most logical left turn for the Long Island-hatched rapper who warned "Abandon All Hope" on his first video: body splayed into a crucified scarecrow, blood and tar on the vocals, words loaned from the inscription above the Inferno.īy 23, he'd died 1,000 Deaths and vowed to die a thousand more.

Antiquated gentlemen outlaws reduced to a Ferris wheel of vitriol. Hack faith healers, stained glass Saint Peter's, black rainbows, ruby tides, jarred brains, magpies, hoarders, and allied forces licking zigzags while being dragged by horses. ![]()
