Aesop Rock

Understand that a Jewish born Yankee is one of the most progressive underground rappers in modern times. He is one of the greatest rappers (period) mainly due to a legacy based on intelligent lyrics and production.   His work is quality,  understand this,  if you must attempt rapping.


None Shall Pass is a pretty cool video too.




Then there is "No Regrets"  I have no idea where this video came from but it seems to get the message of the song.  Anyhow, keep in mind the backing track use of real instruments.

Busdriver Host's MC 101

So fast, so entertaining. I have seen this guy doing small underground shows with Daedelus, and randomly hopping up on stage with Coco Rosie just to freestyle,  He is so good he doesn't have to "front" other rappers, never ceases to amaze me. This is Imaginary Places from back in the day when he had long hair.
