This song will always remind me of skating downtown and getting into stupid shit as a teen. This guy has been an anthem for my life every step of the way.
"Froze the hideous image like Hasselblads"--finally! I listened to this song for years and couldn't figure out what that word was. Hasselblad is a brand of camera. Finally makes sense. The lyrics in this song are so dense and rich with meaning. Dope as fuck.
This song was in an old skate video I had on video tape I used to watch all the time. It was called "Current Status", pretty sure it was from Status Skateboards. Anyway, love this track.
Aloysius X Actually, I was just reading about this study. He about doubles shakespeare on unique words. It's hard to quantify, but somebody honestly did it.
@Bryan O'Brien You can't relate the two. We've inherited words directly from Shakespeare. Aesop and Shakespeare are metaphorical "Lou Tzu" but Aesop doesn't top Shakespeare in a sense of "unique words". Shakespeare literally conceived words we associate with today. It's erroneous to say Aesop has a broader vocabulary because Shakespeare is a major counterpart in the English language. He contributed to etymology. Aesop is no charlatan for he is a literary genius as well, but don't make the comparison.
Cracked.com made the comparison. granted, Shakespeare coined a lot of words that we wouldn't have with out him. However, if you look at the number of unique words they used (only count each word once) Aesop dwarfs shakespeare, without coining. Granted, more slang and pop culture to work with to help that number out, but the fact still remains. Aesop has used more words than shakespeare, even though shakespeare wrote more words.
English language has probably grown over 200% since the days of Shakespeare. It's really not a good comparison. As I've said before, we've inherited words from Shakespeare. Do you really know anything about etymology? Its preposterous to make this comparison.
From an etymological standpoint it's an illogical correlation. The article is stating hoopla and is misguiding. In the context of literary geniuses, that's the only comparison. Two individuals almost three and a half centuries apart, shouldn't be put into this sort of unintentional pretentious quarrel.
This song was in heavy rotation when I first got into Aesop. Lately I’ve mostly been listening to whole albums regardless of what genre I’m listening too. Totally forgot about this joint.
how come aes' voice fades out after the beat drops? i can barely hear him :c now that thats said and done, jesus H fucking christ on a god damn unicycle this fucking song is the essence of epic..

I dont think there could be a better matchup than Aesop and Blockhead...anywhere
couldn't agree more. pure bliss
Jetson had Camu on it soooooo Jeston was better XD
So true
No lies detected here
+ Doseone, that would be perfect.

This beat is like, the best beat.

Blockhead's best beat.
totally should've been on float
I desperately crave this instrumental
"Spring water ain't enough anymore I wanna see the river and bottle my own crystal drizzle liquid dinner" damn
blockhead does not have a bad beat. if you see blockhead in the credits, you know its a dope track no matter what!!!
I kinda wish this made it on Float, has the same vibe and everything.
It sounds more Appleseedy to me.
Yeah it do3s
maybe if this was on float then it wouldn’t be his most underwhelming album
@@donalddalrymple1687 imo float is his best
Donald Dalrymple listen to wanna be a carpenter
Listening to this song and man this brings back so many memories.
Aesop Rock For President 2012.
2016
2020
2028
2024
the beat is from "charly" a movie based on the book flowers for algernon.
This is one of the best pieces of art I know.
I want Blockhead composing the soundtrack to my funeral procession.
Aesop, the man with THEE LARGEST vocabulary of any rapper in history. Congrats man, keep up brotha.

Aesop over Blockhead, enough said....
aesop rock seems really weird.
Being normal is weird
@@WavyVaporizers normal is just a setting on your washing machine.

normal was created for you to be a cog in a wheel that turns for someone that is not you 😂 its weird to be an individual
