True! I do at least try to carve out spaces for the likes of John Darnielle, Aesop Rock, RA the Rugged Man, etc.-- it does happen; I'm just using 'white or gentrified' as shorthand for 'watered down content for a stolen, watered down genre' rly
Got any recommendations for people who like Aesop Rock and want more like that, but haven't been able to find anything because whenever they go looking for it they either get redditors recommending [current artist] or old heads talking about busta rhymes?
There was a recommendation of Deca in here, which I second; also Camu Tao (RIP big homie), Canibus (he's a bit more in the Busta Rhymes era, but before he had his wild-out that lost his battle rap cred, he was one of the illest lyricists I ever heard) BUSDRIVER (super-fun deliveries imo), Four Fists (based as hell, found out about them through a leftist podcast that the name's escaping me rn), Doseone's also a strong lyricist in the Aes vein. I know there's a few that are escaping me rn-- I'll come back to this post if any more occur to me.
appreciate it
Just wanna rec Deca for anyone who likes Aesop and RA
We should probably stop doing that tbh
