File under: “Shit I have to post while Faraone is ‘marching on Wall Street’”
When I have to step in a put up an Aesop Rock video ahead of Faraone, there’s little doubt his blog passion is at an all time low.
I figured if there was one righteous cause powerful enough to distract Faraone from chanting slogans until the world is fixed, it would be his long-running, well-documented beef with ASAP Rocky over his “occupation” of Aesop’s name. In his year-end diatribe against all things purple and swag, he unleashed this first-ballot hall-of-famer:
On that note, I’m flabbergasted over the trending popularity of A$AP Rocky. Not just because he couldn’t rap his way out of a tinfoil hat, or because “Purple Swag” is the lamest combination of played out ingredients since peanut butter and jelly in the same jar.
But when Aesop, “a poetic and musical genius to this fool’s ignoramus” as he says, drops a video to post Faraone is nowhere to be found. That’s like free throws for a blogger; you gotta hit those if you wanna be on the team.
The fact that it’s actually a decent video is just extra icing on a big cake of shame.
