Nope. It means you use big words for the sake of using big words.

Brevity is the Soul of wit.

I'd agree if Aesop was dropping crazy lines that no one else could think of. Dude doesn't make any damn sense. I'm not gonna open up a biology book to listen to a record.

Brevity is the soul of wit doesn't particularly apply when it comes to rapping. There has to be a level of complexity to keep it interesting. Imagery and wordplay are a big part of rap culture. I'm an expert

Is this like an advertisement for Aesop Rock? Why is he even being considered for this list when everyone else is an established artist?

Lil B is on there, so I'm guess the dude just grabbed rappers he enjoyed and fit his criteria (35,000 words). Imo Aesop Rock is pretty well established but it is kind of weird that most of the chart is way more in the mainstream than him.
