This song, No Splash, and Commencement at the Obedience Academy are some of my favorite Aesop Rock songs. Float is a crazy album, been listening to it for 15 years and it still feels fresh
his early raps felt more like scripture form an urban gutter scribe holding the scrying stone to the fresh graffiti, his new shit sounds like actual hip hop
A solid breakdown on one of the more esoteric aes tracks - not sure that I agree with it all, but I think this is definitely open to a lot of interpretations and can mean different things to different people. Subbed - it takes some serious stones to even attempt this one.
Okay yes this one is crazy dope, I would love if you went in depth with “Basic Cable”; honestly one of the greatest songs I’ve heard from him going into how media does mind control from the point of view of the victim who embraces the self awareness of being controlled, it’s crazy af I swear
"Better land a two hand grip on that spoonful of medical chaser" That's absolutely a reference to that Mary Poppins song. "Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down."
"It's like the day the great oak met the sawmill. A lifetime of spectacular expansion meets the reaper at the hand of one man's tantrum." - "Well I'll wake a waterFALL of water and AUTUMN." So dope.
Try Cycles to Gehenna. (Prep with ibrahim's Sysphus or Sysphus 2 (I forget which one)) It is a more reflective and experiencing situation that is relatable.
@@BPCustomCreations he has a reference to "the wind blown way" in gopher guts but in this I'm more inclined to believe the wind in my opinions could be what op said, or it's a resistance, like walking into a headwind, your opinions are always met with resistance
The garden of Eden wasn’t about the apple rule. It was about leadership. Adam was supposed to lead eve and he ended up following her and letting her manipulate him
You couldn't write a song more related to religion. The song is about wrestling with God and Christianity throughout the progression of his life. The puppet for the plummet committee line is referring to him being in church with people falling down fainting while people last hands on them. He's saying is performative.

Love the vid. One thing though, God did state the consequences of eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. "Genesis 2:17 ESV [17] but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”

No splash especially is slept on, hardly ever hear anyone mention it. How to be a carpenter is another personal favorite.
Might be a hot take, but for me, this song is one of Aes' top 5 songs of all time.
In regards to the precision of lyrical wordplay, it's surgical. An absolute banger of a song
100% agree I used to play this one into the ground!

Love the content, man. I love watching people gush over Aesop!
His name is Ian Matthias...

A painter. A painter would use quinacridone, cuz yah know… Aes went to art school and was a painter first.

@outergalacticmarauderfacti6950 Accurate af ! But that beat tho……..💎💎💎💎💎
How To Be A Carpenter is soooooo good! Hope you check that one out soon! ☮️
Probably my favorite aesop song
The best mc to ever grace a mic
"Better land a two hand grip on that spoonful of medical chaser"
That's absolutely a reference to that Mary Poppins song. "Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down."
What can I say....
*Checks the mountain of references I missed before
nothing gets past me 😂
"It's like the day the great oak met the sawmill.
A lifetime of spectacular expansion meets the reaper at the hand of one man's tantrum." -
"Well I'll wake a waterFALL of water and AUTUMN."
So dope.
When he says lets sink the boat and randomly fail a student, i think it pretty much just boils down to lets embrace chaos and disrupt the status quo
The loss of ego is the loss of life worth living, but the embrace of ego is death.. was what I got from that.
lol this song is a whole other universe when youre tripping balls
Anytime I see a new Aesop vid it's an auto like from me
I worked hard on that rhyme asylum one to 😂 thank you!!
Yes he did HE GOT THE DIRECT MESSAGE ANSWER
Try Cycles to Gehenna. (Prep with ibrahim's Sysphus or Sysphus 2 (I forget which one)) It is a more reflective and experiencing situation that is relatable.
Agreed, Cycles to Gehenna is one of my favs of his, so beautifully written
The last verse and it's delivery is some next level goat sht
My Name is Mud is a very colorful Primus song
I'm a big Primus fan, my name is mud and to defy the laws of tradition has been on my list of bass lines to learn!
Dog hes talking about his back and learning how to walk again
"I feel the wind in my opinions"
Wind in your opinions are "holes in your arguments"
I feel so stupid having thought about that line for the last two weeks and was like, meh, not important lol thank you!
I took it as being blown by the wind, changing his opinions with the influence of those around him
@@BPCustomCreations he has a reference to "the wind blown way" in gopher guts but in this I'm more inclined to believe the wind in my opinions could be what op said, or it's a resistance, like walking into a headwind, your opinions are always met with resistance
@@Esciem9 it's a good take for sure 👍
Until you have been there you will never understand hes injured and the universe told him to record his pain he is actually speaking in lamens terms
