Description
This right here is an awesome 7" by Aesop Rock in collaboration with artist Jeremy Fish. Brand new and sealed, in perfect condition. Don't sleep on this, I have missed out on several Underground hip hop items and have regretted it..
I have my own copy of this, and Aes Rock's flow is illy and the artwork by Jeremy Fish throughout the book and on the picture disc itself is dope! There is even the touch of the old school chime when you are supposed to change the page
Only 2000 of these were pressed, so they are rare and highly collectible! These are sold out EVERYWHERE!
Will be shipped in a heavily padded bubble wrap envelope to ensure safe delivery. No Reserve! Paypal only. I have 100% positive feedback so bid with confidence...your satisfaction and trust is very important to me so feel free to ask any questions.
Upper Playground is proud to present: “The Next Best Thing: A Short Story About the Creative Process" by Aesop Rock and Jeremy Fish. This 24 page book comes with a 7 inch picture disk that coincides with each page of the book (ie: old school style kid’s books with records for those born pre 1979!). Jeremy Fish and Aesop Rock were brought together by a common infatuation with themarvel-of-modern-science known as the “one-cup coffee maker.” They soon learned that two creative types can do an extraordinary amount of complaining regarding their respective involvement in “the arts” over a properly constructed patty melt. Indeed, within minutes, optimistic almost-young gentlemen can morph into jaded, bickering, grumpy old men.
"The Next Best Thing" is a collaborative effort and represents a homegrown approach to “creative block” shared by the two. The artist places all half-done projects to the side and proceeds to convince him/herself that he/she will promptly hatch the greatest idea ever to have been conjured in the history of life as we know it. Once convinced that a stellar outcome is inevitable, the pistons should pump on their own… This method does not work. Upon completion of 2/3rds of said project, one is inescapably haunted by the distant birth of an even newer idea, thereby rendering the current work merely “the next best thing.” Do not try this at home.

I cannot say this enough, get this while you still have the chance, because they are even sold out at the last resort place where I picked one up...I got the last one!
