ASAP rocky Vs Aesop Rock
Stage named Asap Rocky, real name Rakim Mayers. Stage name Aesop Rock, real name Ian Matthias Bavitz. Two totally different artist with very similar names. Does this mean they have similar style? Perhaps one idolizes the other, or perhaps one envy's the other.
A$AP
Asap Rocky started off as an underground artist who began his career at the age of 17, wen he found himself in the hoods of Harlem, NY trying to make it out with his single mother. Although he is from New York, a lot of his lingo, and rhyme schemes comes from Houston, Texas. His first big break was when his songs “Peso”, and “Purple Swag” released on air.
Here is a clip of the two:
AESOP
Aesop Rock is an underground rapper who started off in Portland, Oregon. Originally from New York he often bases his music on the living conditions there in the big apple. He and his skills later led him to becoming a well known rapper and producer to hip hop listeners across the country. Aesop began to be known for his wide range in vocabulary and diverse style of music.
Is there a connection?
As far as the artist are concerned, neither exist. It is simply a coincidence that both rappers are from New York and have similar names. Asap Rocky considers both of the to be their own “original” as seen here:
