Aesop Rock interview at SXSW 2007

[TheChimppower]

Thumbs Up for the Legend of zelda shirt aes is wearing :D

[t0psecretshit]

she is gorgeous

[GanjaKreww]

fuckin song in the background, i'm listening to IT instead of aes talking. shits annoying.

[believerster]

What a shite interview, you can tell Aes hated that moron.

[mtsnow12]

lol not as much as he hated the girl in the nynoisetv interview at pitchfork

[d2thh725]

relax

[eastcstsrfr]

Aesop banged her right after the interview, then she made him a sandwich. Might I add, all without eye contact.

[shing02]

hes a zelda fan!!! hes my fav rapper now

[moptopskate]

Zelda tshirt fuck yeah. Aes Rules.

[faroutman888]

fuck eye contact, its stupid, be in your head and in your words, thinking with you dicks damn stupid bitches... aesop rock kills everything whitin rap, no diggedy, out

[longbardlary2]

to like aesop rock you gotta understand his godly lyrics. listen real close and you might see the real genious. and why the fuck is everyone calling her a bitch? fuck, look at all the interviews of him out there and you'll see she asked the best questions.

[sneakerheadforlife]

you must not know how antisocial this cat is, actually he made a song called "antisocial" awhile back

[sw69skate]

Not everyone likes eye contact,maybe nervs or something.I dont look people in they eye sometimes.But yeah fuck that,aesops dope

[mossimo654]

yo, like, you're like, really articulate and stuff.

What's like, your like, inspiration?

Dude who finds these interviewers?

[satanchiken]

i want to lick his balls

[PJORmaximus]

Dog, thats gay. But I love Aesop Rock.

[berracchus]

1. The girl asked him some really stupid questions. Rule #1 of an interview is not to ask questions that have short answers.

2. I'm not really sure how an underground rapper can be overrated- the point being that he is not mainstream, so its obvious that most people havent heard of him.

3. He's a very talented lyricist, which is why people like him, and if you think that there is someone better than him out there, that's youre opinion. It's also my opinion that your opinion is retarded.

[fergalmcardle]

that interviewer is hot

ps ur a retard

[shabooboo]

that chick is an annoying yenta. $

[sneakerheadforlife]

he never looks at whoever is interviewing him

[tbizzle1221]

good interview...

[Zgamer618]

He's got a Zelda shirt, cool.

[smutpeddlers420]

haha.i know tell that to these pussies.o yeha now aesop rock sucks.

[learybiscuit]

dude, smut peddlers are good, but they're nothing special, D.I. still is way better, and aesop is superior to either as artists.

[darkmage6]

what in the hell is wrong with you people? get a life and stop posting comments on youtube!(Hahaha!)

[TreyyHott42086]

aesop dat hott hott hott  None Shall Pass BEOTCH!

[smutpeddlers420]

ok fitty2 blox and captain planet!!! there is a white power rap take over and its now goddamit stop emailing me. necro deat hrap is the best album of 07 not that stupid nigger kanye or 50 cents in my pocket.fuck u adn fuck the mainstream.

[Fitty2blox]

But youre not a racist smutpeddler, remeber? You can't even stand up and defend what you say. You say some crazy shit, I call you out politely, you retract and clarify, which left me only half confused, then you throw your whole retraction out screaming white power rap. Pick a side grow some balls and stand behind it. Whats to lose? Everybody is a tough guy on a computer anyway. Right?

[Fitty2blox]

smutpeddler said "ight listen. maybe i shouldnt have said that.i am not racist.i just dont like how people dont give underground rap the respect it deserves. and im fomr long island and i know more about real hip hop then m,ost people from the boogie down. nothing towards u.dont reply. i dotn have time for this."

[Fitty2blox]

Smutpeddler also said "ok maybe but nodisspespect. but i like emeinem better as slim shady. also now eminem is such a wanna be nigger that it makes me puke." Pick a position and hold it next time cuz you blew it.

[smutpeddlers420]

ok!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you win. i am done i am deleting my account so u pussies cant bother me.i didnt direct my comment to you. so get a life and leave me alone!!!!!!!!last thing WHITE POWER!!!!

[Fitty2blox]

You are retreating screaming white power?? Where is the power in that?

[kemble238]

dude if your really from long island then go outside an say n***er and see what happens I'd kick your stupid ass if this was real but as previously stated everyones a tough guy online so fuck you small minded fuck and ohh yeah necro sucks everyone knows that

[smutpeddlers420]

haha.ok.and necro is god.i fucking said i am done with this so u pussies get a life!!!

[CaptinPlanit]

Do you have reading comprehension issues? If you could complete the sentence, maybe you wouldn't have so much trouble understanding my perspective. "The caliber of the women" means "the attractive qualities of this current interviewer". Take it slowly, and it shouldn't be so tough.

It's truly a wonder you're an Aesop Rock fan.

[rayzian]

umm, he's married.. why should he give a sh*t about how he's perceived?

[CaptinPlanit]

And if this is the caliber of the women who're likely to interview this man in the future, the boy needs to shave and use some of that industry money to freshen his wardrobe. Of course, then purists would naturally bitch about how he sold out and went against his principles.

[smutpeddlers420]

def jux=white power rap

[WalkerEntertainment]

no, I'd say Eminem does...

[smutpeddlers420]

ok maybe but nodisspespect. but i like emeinem better as slim shady. also now eminem is such a wanna be nigger that it makes me puke.

[Fitty2blox]

you obviously like controversy. "no disrespect" then drop the n bomb. Rap originated from an urban impoverished environment, and alot of rap still does. Hence the ignorance or *iggerish attitude assosiated with rap.

[Fitty2blox]

So if you like rap a little that comes with the territory. You can choose not to listen. Just don't try not to go after peoples throats by using the n word. In case the slim chance you are wondering, I was born in The Bronx in 74. The birth year and place of hip hop. Take care.

[smutpeddlers420]

ight listen. maybe i shouldnt have said that.i am not racist.i just dont like how people dont give underground rap the respect it deserves. and im fomr long island and i know more about real hip hop then m,ost people from the boogie down. nothing towards u.dont reply. i dotn have time for this.

[Fitty2blox]

Fair enough. You sound more level headed, and I have a better understanding of what you meant. Understand though, when you post its is there forever for anyone to reply at any given time. Thanks for clearing that up. The whole white power rap though? No chance of a take over but there is plenty of room for the aesops and el ps. Im am done posting to this regardless of responce. Take care.

[CaptinPlanit]

This is, without a doubt, one of the most bigoted, egotistical, thick-headed statements I've had the displeasure of reading on YouTube.

[suggarshawnray]

WIGGER! Go and listen to Napalm Death, Sepultura, and Morbid Angel. Fucking sellout, pussy, nigger loving piece of shit. Rap stands for "Retards attempting poetry."

[AezRizzle]

...said the trailer park trash retard.

[suggarshawnray]

NIGGER PLEASE

[SaintDre7]

Excellent Interview.

[kermitthefrogonweed]

I've never been big on rap, so really Aesop Rock is the only decent rap I've ever been into. The only rap I've ever really heard is mainstream and I'm trying to listen to what else is out there.

[drews]

hell yea dude, check out Dr. Octagon, Sage Francis, Talib Kweli. There's some awesome stuff out there

[kermitthefrogonweed]

I like how Aesop Rock doesn't act ghetto and crap like most rappers.
