Oh my fucking god I just wanted to say how otherworldly bad music is right now (pop has always been stupid to varying levels but oh my fucking god they have raised the stakes). I just listened to a bunch of pop tracks from various genres and I literally think I'm about to die. Rock, country, indie, folk, hipster white rap, whatever you call home, is aggressively bad. It's like Walmart made a gun that can shoot cum and blood and piss and shit and puke into your soul. We are so fucking fucked. I want to saw my own head off.

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.
