Aesop Rock is the Music Video GOAT
So many hip-hop artists have created multiple music video gems. Das Racist and it’s members, Beastie Boys, A Tribe Called Quest, Outkast, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Pharcyde, Ludacris, Kendrick Lamar, Ice Cube, Common, The Roots, Action Bronson, De La, and our misguided friend Kanye all jump to mind immediately.
Recently, Aesop Rock, who has created countless dope videos, often with Rob Shaw but also with Joey Garfield, Ace Norton, Tarrant and Metros, Ravinshankara, released the self-directed and self-illustrated “All The Smartest People” from his most recent collaboration with Blockhead, Garbology.
The video is an absolute triumph, as enjoyable frame-by-frame as any video has ever been, and classic as a traditional play. Following is “All the Smartest People” and countless other classic Aesop video efforts.
