Got it? No, you don't. But slip on the Fast Cars EP and all is forgiven: This stuff may not make total sense, but it sounds fucking awesome. It may not come off in print, but on disc (or, better yet, live) Aesop Rock gets the message across without being coherent--the style is the message. Would someone describing a Pollock wow you? Like that boozy paint-flinger, Rock defies explanation and should not be imitated. But he's still one of the most exciting MCs working today.
