    The Albetros is a reference to a poem called the Rhyme of the Ancient mariner, in it the Mariner kills the bird of good Omen , and his ship mates hang it around his neck in the hope that the bad luck will target only him. His crime is his fault and his burden to carry, but that's not how life and death work.
    also Aesop locked him self away in a cabin in the woods and wrote this album. He captured himself. He walked away from the industry because he cares about hip-hop.
    If you have the chance check out his project album - The Uncluded's album called Hockey Fight.

      While I think that's a small part of what he's trying to say; I also think he's trying to portray how cynical he can be at times. A lot of TIK is him poking fun at himself, and admitting fault. While he probably actually feels that way from time to time...I still think he's speaking from a specific perspective of himself. TIK is full of introspection on his part.

    That albatross line is in reference to “The rime of the ancient mariner” where albatross are considered sacred, seen as reincarnations of lost sailors souls. a captain kills one on a voyage and the crew forces him to wear it around his neck as punishment. Similar to the mark of Cain in some ways. Very simply it refers to a personal burden

      I was a hipster kid in high school. Only listened to sad indie music and coffee came on one of the indie radio channels I listened to. Fell in love and began my journey into hip hop. Developed a love for a genre I chalked up to just being idiots bragging about being dopeheads.

    Within moments of noticing this video, I'd already liked and added to Favourites. No regrets. Absolutely.
    I don't get this excited for any reaction uploads, I eagerly await any of your Aesop Rock focused reactions in particular. Thankfully you've already covered two of my favourites and I'm grateful there is yet much more to come.
    Also, I just have to say. You're the right man to have reactions to Aesop content, you actually take it in and have a great understanding and awareness.

    Man, if you're truly catching this for the first time, you're in for a treat. And you're very insightful into his meanings. I've been a huge fan of this dude since 2005 and literally 2 days ago I had a breakthrough moment with one of his tracks - think it was off the Impossible Kid album, I forget - but I was like "...THIS is what it's about...!" like the pieces all came together. The man is a true artist.
    The guy's unreal and it's great to see how much you're diggin him. Hope to see more of his joints on here soon. Peace.

    Dude I LOVE every choice I’ve since you pick for your series. And since I have such a similar taste, it makes me wonder how you manage to be such a grounded, stoic, reserved and self-mastered kind of guy! It’s cool to see a dude like yourself have such an appreciation for some pretty wild art, and also having the kind of pop culture and historical knowledge to deconstruct it. I say this only because I rarely come across any company at all to have those conversations on the level and when I do, it’s usually with at least a 50% basket case or in the very least, far from “neuro-typical” That includes myself. Keep doing your thing. You got a huge fan here!

    Albatross
    The bird is placed on the sailor's neck by shipmates to show the guilt in killing it. Therefore, the albatross can be both an omen of good or bad luck, as well as a metaphor for a burden to be carried as penance.

    When Aesop was touring for that album, that song was one of the most memorable in the set. At the end of the chorus line, "Party over here, I'll be over there", every time, he'd ask the crowd who's coming with him. Both he and the listeners knew who it was that he wasn't about, who was being called out, and knew that crowd in front of him was full of his people. It was a scene that understood, even at a minimum, what he was speaking on.

I remember it was with some Jedi Mind Tricks, De La Soul, Atmosphere, Redman, Wu Tang, Blackalicious good hip hop. We actually have a club in Shanghai called Shelter that has been around for over a decade now where real hip hop lives.
