This heeb and MF Doom are the corniest motherfuckers ever.

I thought Russell wrote the lyrics at least, wtf is his only role in the band singer? Ron Mael should strike out on his own

Superior to Aesop in just about every way
Russell wrote and co-wrote a few songs, one of them being "Pineapple" which happens to be a personal favorite of mine. He's an amazing vocalist though.

It isn't bad, however, Communists and Nazis have all but destroyed the schooling environment. My only response has been to dedicate four hours a day writing a masterwork poem critiquing the modern mindset from the perspective of a Polish hussar.

seriously, after Aesop Rock was put on the top of that vocabulary chart, there has been a surge of people calling him the greatest rapper alive, like all you need to be a good rapper is a big vocabulary.
by this logic I could just write down random words from a dictionary and be the greatest rapper alive
>"Every time we divide we put zeroes under the line, and we publish it as our proof that nothingness is divine."
pretty cringy and average metalcore line
but dude a bigger vocabulary means more varied rhymes meaning he's not just regurgitating old stuff so he has to be the greatest!
Jim O'Rourke
That's such a specific lie. There's got to be a reason why you posted this.
