Aesop Rock Rocks, So Do His Videos!

I'm not massive rap fan. Too much of it is unmusical rubbish associated with highly insalubrious subjects such as "crack" and "shanking".

The three below videos from the rapper Aesop Rock are far from one's typical nonsense. His lyrics are abstract and his vocabulary is wide. This is probably what some may call "intellectual rap".

And such music will always need a good video to do it justice. The three below are no exception and on top of that all completely different!

    Which animator created the top two videos? This is the kind of animation I'm really interested in doing. Also for cool rap with nice videos check out Deltron 3000 (the original rapper in Gorillaz, the spirit who comes out of Russ (the drummers head). Also check out Flobots. I love these uncommercial new skool rappers. People who know the 3 elements of hip-hop aren't "gunz bitchez n bling". Good post.

    Here we go, it's directed by Ordinary Kids (SF) with Aesop Rock and featuring the art of Jeremy Fish.
