I feel like there's a thousand more important things to talk about with this song, but I'll forever respect how Rob Sonic just looks like your local restaurant's line cook.
A Kiln is a type of oven where pottery is fired and hardened into a ceramic. My take on this song is that it is describing the various hardships that the subjects of said song have endured. These hardships act like a kiln to harden these people against a savage world. The Soup from this album plays with similar themes. It also goes hard.
Hail Mary Mallon - Horse Flakes or Meeter Feeder. Rhymes Sayers is an independent label, originating out of Minnesota focusing rappers with a focus on Social Justice and Creative Arts. Has included MF DOOM, Borther Ali, Atmosphere, Prof, Aesop Rock, etc. And Kiln is the oven that art (pottery) is finished in. Stress makes art...
Rhymesayers was founded by 4 people of varied backgrounds from European, African and Indigenous and mixtures there of. MF Doom was on the label, MURS has released music with them so has Sol Messiah, Sa Roc, Nikki Jean, Homeboy Sandman who is 1/2 of Lice all though Im not sure who puts Lice out. Slug who is 1/2 of Atmosphere is Mixed. Its a pretty diverse label and for sure at least half of the founders don't identify as white. What matters is embracing diversity and good music.
Rob Sonic is Aes's on tour cohort. he does the doubled vocal & fills in a word or 2 when aes breathes or hypes the crowd. Most Def Jux artists went to Rhymesayer when El-p ended DefJux to do RTJ. both Rhymesayers & Def have @1:40 such astounding black artists as Mr. Lif, Illogic, Blueprint, Akrobatik, Murs, etc UR LOVE & RESPECT FOR THE LABEL MAKES ANY QUESTION OR KNOWLEDGE U SEEK ABOUT THEM NOT IGNORANT . Love Respect Joy Dream
I think slug was one of many, I know my mans Musab was one, but I figured B. Sayers did, yknow, cause the last name? Speculation. Buut: Theres not a member who's catalog won't floor expectations - their peripheral collaborators too, driver, myka, dose, prefuse, deca...honestly, the talent is absurd.
@@eidolonone 💯💯💯 Deca is fire too, man! Myka9 is NUTS but I'm still not completely sold on him. Driver is Busdriver, I'm assuming? He's a dud in my ears, he does nothing for me!
@birdflesh man, I want to remedy that so bad, his album, electricity is on our side is such an important piece of culture. Beaus&Eros is so gorgeous too, and Fear of a Black Tangent? Like damn...ah, but that west coast has an eccentric cast. And to each their own. Except w myka. Every conversation should include myka 9. I'm an aeshead, thru and thru - and was a dosehead before that, but I'm here to tell you: myka is the stuff of legend. Study that catalog. Dude is that guy & too dope in every Era. Some of those eras were just wakes and waves from his work 👀 K...phew, I'm off my apple crate. Ahem. So, yeah, Deca iiis the shiz!
Rob and Aesop are amazing artists. Watch the Rogue Wave video for some of Aesop's art. Nah Rhymesayers has had all kinds of artists. Predominantly sure but not exclusively. Murs was part of a group called Felt on rhymesayers. Rakaa from Dilated peoples. Dem Atlas. MF Doom. Rhymesayers is just a Minneapolis label representing "twin cities hip hop" A Kiln is an oven for ceramics.
I discovered your channel just a couple days ago and have chewed through all your Rhymesayers reactions already ❤ MF DOOM was part of Rhymesayers before he passed and his very last recorded verse was on the song Barcade w Atmosphere n Aesop My recommendation would be Pigs by Aesop Rock, i love the education n knowledge he consistently has dished out. It's another easy to understand one, i hope you give it a listen even if it's not for the channel 🙏
@9:15 ish u could do 'battle rounds' for a week btwn 2 artists & at end of week sum up difference/preference that would be cool. it would satisfy ur 2 vid a day upload & moving thru artists/cutting some loose
Youre pretty wise for a young dude. Idk if you like books but Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, the Roman Emperor is good although a bit hard to digest. Also The Book of 5 Rings by Miyamoto Musashi, the most famous and likely skilled swordsman of all time. Both insanely wise successful men. Theres audio books of em free on youtube. Once you know the way broadly, you can see it in all things.
Is Musashi the samurai with 60+ bodies who attributed his skills with a sword to being good at art and poetry. I'm definitely going to start Meditations. The Holy Roman Empire fascinates me so much!

To be fair he was cooking.

The kiln referenced in the title is a metaphor for the painful and intense process of growing up. If you survive, you become a product of the kiln.
Rhyme sayers, I believe, was founded by Slug from Atmosphere. Who is actually mixed race
Atmosphere has a dense catalog that is ripe for an exploration. As a huge fan, there are some clunkers, but it's still worth checkin' it out!

Sa-Rock isn't white by any means lol. The answer is no and Slug (Atmosphere) owns Rhymesayers.
Copy that, thanks for informing me. Like a good neighbor!!
@@DreamersDreamBig No worries man. Thought you were gonna do my aes request :( lol.
Rob sonic is not apart of rhymesayers
