Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Bazooka Tooth proves that Aesop Rock is even less interested in appeasing the more traditionalist hip-hop crowd than he was on his acclaimed 2001 release Labor Days. On "We're Famous", Def Jux label head El-P and Aesop go after the, ahem, critics who might not view their futuro sound collages as legit hip-hop. El-P raps "I laugh at critics claiming, 'Hip-hop's over' / Fuck you, hip-hop just started."

El-P raps "I laugh at critics claiming, 'Hip-hop's over' / Fuck you, hip-hop just started."
This being the first release where he handles the bulk of the production, Aesop intentionally goes all sorts of Def Jux, programming as many ultramodern found soundscapes on "NY Electric" and "The Greatest Pac-Man Victory Ever" (with sampled sounds from the classic video game) as is possible. While his wordy and nearly incomprehensible verses on "Freeze" or "Mars Attacks" will either grate on the nerves or rate near genius, middling they're not. It's just a shame that the lack of soul in his rotating rap deliveries tends to undermine his masterful storytelling capabilities--who else writes brilliantly random songs about goings on in their life at 11:35 P.M. on January 21st ("11:35"). Fabolous fans run for cover--this is extreme backpacker rap at its grimiest. --Anders Smith Lindal
Description
Stream-of-consciousness lyrics, stuttering beats, and troglodyte bass lines are the bedrock to Aesop Rock's BAZOOKA TOOTH, a collection of almost freeform rapping that boasts somefashion-forward sampling in a grinding collision of words and found sounds. Rock's third collection of underground rap continues the Brooklyn-based rapper's original course of combining a fusillade of words--some rhyming, some not--with a thick, grainy production (this time courtesy of Def Jux label honcho El-P) that complements his leaps of rhyme and logicperfectly.
The title track is characteristic of the whole collection, with its elastic bass track underpinning an eccentric sound collage that's an effective counterpoint to Rock's half-heard lyrics. If you're used to some of the more rhythmically straight-laced sounds and the guns-drugs-hoes subject matter coming from East and West Coasts, not to mention the Dirty South, then BAZOOKA TOOTH may come as a shock tothe system-which is precisely the intention.
