Aesop Rock – Black Hole Superette
Review — June 20, 2025
Aesop Rock has a reputation for esoteric and abstract raps. It's certainly an earned reputation, but that background makes it interesting when you peel off the layers of his latest, Black Hole Superette and realize that many of these dense songs are actually about the mundane: walking the dog, cohabitation... …
Aesop Rock – Integrated Tech Solutions
Review — December 22, 2023
Aesop Rock seems to be the rare artist who gets better with age. I enjoyed his early work with Blockhead, but it felt like things started to take off when he took over self-production, steadily growing and hitting what felt like peak when Spirit World Field Guide came out …
Aesop Rock – Spirit World Field Guide
Review — November 30, 2020
Spirit World Field Guide is Aesop Rock’s first full-length in a few years. He’s been busy in the meantime, working on Malibu Ken and other projects, but Spirit World Field Guide has been a slow-building project. And it’s just that: a project.At 21 tracks in total, this is a …
Aesop Rock – Skelethon
Review — August 27, 2012

Primal Rock Rebellion – Awoken Broken
Review — July 19, 2012

Aesop Rock – None Shall Pass
Review — August 30, 2007
Aesop Rock could be considered the resident Dadaist of the hip-hop community. Many consider him a hyper literate linguist (despite the fact he admits that he doesn't read much), blending modern pop culture phrasings with slang of the last ten years to create complex rhymes that actively reflective on the …
Spank Rock and Benny Blanco – Bangers & Cash
Review — December 8, 2007
The latest effort from Baltimore club/DJ/rapping outfit Spank Rock brings more to the table than one might think. The opening line, "Welcome to the fuck shop," gives you an idea of what you're in store for. Bangers & Cash is five tracks of sex and money, with Spank Rock rapper …
