Synopsis
The Next Best Thing is the collaborative effort of Hip Hop MC AESOP ROCK and artist Jeremy Fish. The project represents a homegrown approach to solving the age old problem of "creative block." AESOP and Fish, tackle the problem by putting all half-done projects to the side and proceeding to convince themselves that they will promptly hatch the greatest idea ever. 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 the artists are inescapably haunted by the distant birth of an even newer idea, rendering the current work merely "The Next Best Thing."
