I had a limited amount of time to write this article, but I definitely agree with you. There were many more things I could have said about this article, and I would have liked to explore further a lot of the ideas I introduced here. Thanks for the comment though, glad you liked it.

~~Could you link me to the blog where this is posted? I couldn’t find it on google.~~

EDIT: Nevermind, I found it. Very cool, thanks for informing me.

i see some people speak before they read entirely.. or just can’t comprehend the specific sentence..

they writer stated that labor days was the first record that AESOP released on def jux.. not the first record def jux ever released… not rocket science.

and yeah this article was pretty damn good… but i mean… to write such a short piece about such a Significant release/artist.. is kinda SHORT isn’t it. although everything seems covered.. to me each point was a good start… to a really interesting path that was never taken.

Thanks for the corrections Ben. I know that book of lyrics was released, and I would have loved to have had access to it while writing this article, but unfortunately I didn’t. I suspected that there might be something wrong with the quoted lyrics from “Save Yourself” — I’m assuming line 2 is the incorrect one? I listened to that bit of the song over and over, and couldn’t figure out for sure what he was saying. Would you mind posting the correct lyrics? I’d like to know, both for the accuracy of my article and for my own knowledge.

Josh - totally agree with you. The first time I heard this album I thought it was just okay; now it’s one of my all-time favorites. Float is a great album too.

With or without this articles “Mistakes” it still getting the point across,

Great article, I’ve been a big fan for years.. and most of what this is saying is so true. With every listen, you want more ;b Specially for certain hip hop heads.(cause in the end all music taste is preference) Grab up Labor days ppl(Actually buy it.) and give it a listen, if you like it enough.. I recommend Float ; )

There are a few other mistakes, actually. It is not his first record with Blockhead–Blockhead produced half of the songs on Aes Rock’s first major label release Float, for Mush Records. The lyrics you quote from “Save Yourself” are somewhat off as well (Aes put out a book of ALL his lyrics as a limited edition companion piece to the Fast Cars EP, where you can find the actual lyrics).

My mistake; it should say “Aesop’s first album released on Def Jux Records,” not “the first album.” I’ll correct it. Thanks for the positive feedback!
