Aesop Rock - "Catacomb Kids"

I'll admit, I'm one of those kids who grew up finding music from video game soundtracks, most notably Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games. Aesop Rock had a song on Pro Skater4, the first one I ever bought (still my favorite) and that's how I was introduced to him. Now that I look back, I don't think I even liked the song at the time. But when None Shall Pass came out in '07 I was suddenly interested in his work. I heard the title track and I knew that I needed to have the whole album. It turns out that the whole album is just as good as that song, but this is still probably my favorite. It's now one of those songs that I play in my car when I'm giving someone a ride just to show them that I too can listen to hip-hop.
