no one touches aesop, he stands alone. aesop is a self-modified genius, a product of a perfect storm of influence, environment, and a work ethic next to none. he grew up in a jazz club from a young age for christ's sake.
Aesop Rock, MF DOOM (LONG LIVE!), Doseone (& his 23+ groups/projects), Buck 65, Sixtoo, Busdriver, CLIPPING, Sage Francis, Myka 9, Open Mike Eagle, Eyedea, Homeboy Sandman, Edan, Atmosphere, Black Thought, could go on for days: but aes, dose, buck, sage & bus are a solid top 5 if need be…no order tho & CLIPPING because they’re a group that elevates the whole art from concepts to mastering as much as any one of these cats has done for lyricism, flow & phonics!
They the reasons rappers "retire" they hear songs like this or "Vowel Movement" - atmosphere - or "Falling in Flames" - murs - and feel like... shit... I am fake as fuck
The stuff of legends. I have known about these guys since at least my high school days in the late 90's and I have been listening on and off ever since.
been a fan of these two since I was 15 and this is the first time I heard this song, what an incredible Aes verse, sluggo does his thing too, love the beats, this is another bangers, need this on streaming!
so Ive been a huge atmosphere fan for years and try to get every single song with slug i can. spent hours and hours searching limewire and itunes and getting unreleased collections. but i have NEVER heard this one before. lol maybe now i have em all. hey slugs done over 300 tracks, its hard finding em all! lol god i love atmosphere. thanks for this
Aesop is always an intellectual study. Love everything he does. But personally? I gotta give it up to slug. He always packs logical emotional punch. And he does so by keeping It as simple to understand as possible. Love that kind of simple writing.
o man aesop killed this the escorting hundred handers out of tartarus blew my mind! he also gives free haircuts at his shows, I got one once. best show I've seen. Slug/ant/atmosphere are fuckin amazing as well. check out aesop rock and homeboy sandman mini mixtape lice. straight dope.
oh my...ok i'll always love slug above all artists but eyedea and dj abilities are damn amazing. def rhymesayers to the core. i wish id found "smile" 6 months ago it coulda helped me. poetry for sure.
I could be wrong, but to my knowledge Atmosphere was originally called Urban Atmosphere and Spawn was a member until after the Overcast album. Headshots was essentially the name of the collective before Rhymesayers. The name changed after some falling out and differences among various members.
Why do we need these endless 'boxes'? Yes Aesop is on a completely difference 'level' to slug..but slug equally has his genius level too,thats nothing like Aesop. There's no need to compare these alternative artist's with each other.One love man!
I have finally understood aesop's style...he's a very sleep deprived man..or lyrical wizard of a poetic decent that simply describes what he's thinking..to us human beings...all the while, struggling to keep himself awake..or maybe just in this dimension..and slugs...self-explanatory in a simpler way haha
@skkill1 different styles..aesop's lyrics are way more abstract, slugs are upfront to the point. In an interview with slug he says something about hoping his music would turn people onto the underground so they "start off smoking the atmosphere and eventually will be shooting up aesop rock" (not the exact quote but something along the lines of that)
actually dynospectrum's album came out in 98 i believe. headshots however (original name of atmosphere) was doing shit earlier. definately before 97, not sure exactly how much earlier
He woke up, sweat got him soaked up Looking like he spent the night getting hosed up Smoke a butt, lit it off the stove and rush your focus up When they breaking bread they never broke enough Just another day of waiting for tomorrow Situations got him pacing at the crossroads Staccato Face full of nostrils Heart beating like you getting chased on that cop show He's sick of getting cut short on the stick again They sittin' pretty, but won't let the business in Projectin' bricks of aggression Protect your section, don't covet the next man's I know you frustrated, must hate it Maybe stuck in the ditch when the revolution's updated Some make it and get upgraded Every little prick wanna fuck Lady Luck butt-naked That's why I overreact Like you opened your lap and gave birth to a swarm of rats Somebody should have warned your ass: Its worse to crash than to run outta gas [Aesop] Go real [Slug] Forever stuck like a tattoo [Aesop] No meal [Slug] Go check your gut and snap-to [Aesop] Don't feel [Slug] Getting up under a bad move [Aesop] So deal [Slug] Get the fuck outta the vacuum CHORUS (x2) [Aesop] Go real [Slug] Can't thief advantage of [Aesop] No meal [Slug] Can't eat handshakes and hugs [Aesop] Don't feel [Slug] Can't sleep so take them drugs [Aesop] So deal [Slug] Can't see which way is up [Aesop] Boar's head helmet, long in the tooth I walk a three-headed dog, I call him "Duck, Duck, Goose" Ooze through the cookie isle hands down marvelous Possibly escorting hundred-handers outta Tartarus Man's damp claws stack adorable cash And flip a cardboard crown like a spork in the mash Stone-walling Two knees knock on a tucked tail Swan song wrong, flower-topped thumbnails Pop the mop one hotel robe and a Plymouth duster Eighty sixed from his given infrastructure Beard to his feet that filter his Hail Mary's In the company of cartoon stars and canaries Kid Schroeder, ivories picked over Parts marched out to sea on sick shoulders Broadcast images of 3D art littering the diagonal arrow on your bleeding heart sticker People of Earth, we are not as we are seeming The radio is on but the dialogue isn't breathing That's why my people drive along leaning Back into the fires that forged the whole evening, speeding [Slug] Go real [Aesop] Cruisers get excited on the turnpike [Slug] No meal [Aesop] Ticket, no brakes, no birthright [Slug] Don't feel [Aesop] Nothing.

Very true, just cuz his name is the first one that comes to mind when rhymesayers comes up does not mean anything. he is getting shit cuz of his new cd like hes falling off, people dont take music for what it is, i say his prime was god loves ugly though but he will def always express longevity.

How you supposed to shoot for the moon with one arrow
And no bow
Aesop Rock will forever be the best rapper...

K-Rino lyrically vaporizes Aes.
@@danielbaker7107lol, not even close. Aes wins that fight, easy
whenever these two collab, I wonder if the mainstream rap world is like "why do we even try?"
I’m sure they remember why on pay day.
@@benkelly7182 exactly
They the reasons rappers "retire" they hear songs like this or "Vowel Movement" - atmosphere - or "Falling in Flames" - murs - and feel like... shit... I am fake as fuck
If not they should be.
I've heard this song like 30 times and i just realized how dope it is....
"I walk a three headed dog. I call him Duck, Duck, Goose." x )
Damn it Aesop Rock!
😂🕺🏾
Wtf that shit even mean tho...
Means hes petting thier heads, saying duck duck goose. Lol
aesop is such an amazing fucking lyricist!
@@squidword3360 imagine needing everything to have a literal meaning
Wow I never see one of these boy’s videos that have comments enabled! Much love all the way from 2022!
The stuff of legends. I have known about these guys since at least my high school days in the late 90's and I have been listening on and off ever since.

This is a sick jam. One of my new favs. Thanks for sharing. Can't hear it enough
Another lyrical masterpiece! Glad i stumbled into this one today. I Wish the best to each and every one of you listening to this.

Pretty sweet. Always love hearing these two together. So different yet go so well together
Been waiting for another collaboration from these two, they never disappoint that's why they are the best!
I needed this song.
Loving it. They defo don't disappoint on this joint.
There's so many dope lines in this song.
Just seen Atmosphere, dude is legit such a smooth clear flow and lyrics are amazing.
so Ive been a huge atmosphere fan for years and try to get every single song with slug i can. spent hours and hours searching limewire and itunes and getting unreleased collections. but i have NEVER heard this one before. lol maybe now i have em all. hey slugs done over 300 tracks, its hard finding em all! lol god i love atmosphere. thanks for this
Never heard this before. Thanks for the upload.
Two of the greatest lyricists from Rhymesayers.
Good shit.
This & the Brother Ali track totally made that picture disc worth it.
Aesop is always an intellectual study. Love everything he does. But personally? I gotta give it up to slug. He always packs logical emotional punch. And he does so by keeping It as simple to understand as possible. Love that kind of simple writing.
Aesop makes music to make you think slug makes music that makes you feel
they both make both
True
I know a guy who was always very simple. Born that way or not. Only thing that ever resonated with him was aesop rock.
@Ninee Boundd didn't catch it. I assume there's an Aes bar referencing this?
This is the greatest colab ever.
Beautiful!
One of the dopest Aesop Verses Atmosphere too so one of the dopest tracks
These two are true artists
Wish they’d tag teamed a third verse, trading bars back and forth. Still one of the illest tracks ever.
Banging track any more like this! They should do an album together. Fire!
check out, miss me by a mile, thorns, and late for the sky.
Damn Aesop, save some rhymes for everyone else
if you search "guy on heavy acid trip" and click the security cam looking one.. the foreign song has a sick beat like the unique part of this song's.
Thanks for posting this.
One of my favorite songs
o man aesop killed this the escorting hundred handers out of tartarus blew my mind! he also gives free haircuts at his shows, I got one once. best show I've seen. Slug/ant/atmosphere are fuckin amazing as well. check out aesop rock and homeboy sandman mini mixtape lice. straight dope.

For Gods sake stop argueing over which is better. Enjoy the damn song you came here to enjoy
Great work!
Nice track listing.
Where has this song been hiding...
(4.18.11) Rhymesayers Record Store Day - exclusive picture disc vinyl still available at Fifth Element.
This song is so dope that it gives me chills. Raw as fck!
the beats are so crunchy on this track!
I could be wrong, but to my knowledge Atmosphere was originally called Urban Atmosphere and Spawn was a member until after the Overcast album. Headshots was essentially the name of the collective before Rhymesayers. The name changed after some falling out and differences among various members.
It's worse to crash than to run outta gas!
Mad love Slug
Aesop ur. too. smart.
but I get u! you're like my dirty little secret...haha
nothing better than when an aes lyric finally clicks...when i found out "blood sandwich" meant middle child i needed to be resuscitated
I JUST NOW UNDERSTAND BOTH VERSES
BLEW MY MIND: SLUG & AESOP RAP GODS
If this was on myspace back in say 07 it would have 100,000 views a day.
what a sick track! slug beasted out
Wow... they both went in soooooo hard
Empty4330 it's totally true. Young slug was hungry as fuck and it transferred through his music but aesop is always on point.
so good
Goddang here's one I never heard. Fuck yeah.
i do now. totally spaced on that. i knew the name was familiar. yea hes good, ive only heard alil bit of his stuff tho.ill check that stuff out dude.
Pure fire
Aesop all the way
tight joint !!!
YES!
very nice :)
As a pretty big fan of both... Where the hell has this been? Almost like I can't tell which way is up
lovee it
Beasts!!!
His voice seems to be the metronomic backbone of the song... the music is so different, unpredictable
@username8434 cool point, and good upload highmighty
I know man! Thanks again.
🔥🔥🔥
I could’ve been jamming this for 11 years wtf? How have I never heard this?
Power Infinity performing "Spot light" @ Salvation Saturdays Score
Why do we need these endless 'boxes'? Yes Aesop is on a completely difference 'level' to slug..but slug equally has his genius level too,thats nothing like Aesop. There's no need to compare these alternative artist's with each other.One love man!
SOLID
Aw damn! Well at least you got it! :D
Must not sleep. Must warn others.
Nice! Throw e dubble on here and you've got quite the potent rap.
Chotzkey Reznov good thing its not rap then isnt it
Dope.
Hey whoop whoop whup!
also from invasion of the body snatchers originally and Aes has it tatted on his forearms
Best rapper/producer ever
Rapper ever!
What language is the second rapper talking in?
Shakespeare (On acid).
@@jimmiebentley6608 couldn't have said it better myself
LSD
I have finally understood aesop's style...he's a very sleep deprived man..or lyrical wizard of a poetic decent that simply describes what he's thinking..to us human beings...all the while, struggling to keep himself awake..or maybe just in this dimension..and slugs...self-explanatory in a simpler way haha
Keeping the beat original to your crew don’t change mad love
@skkill1 different styles..aesop's lyrics are way more abstract, slugs are upfront to the point. In an interview with slug he says something about hoping his music would turn people onto the underground so they "start off smoking the atmosphere and eventually will be shooting up aesop rock" (not the exact quote but something along the lines of that)
Hard to jeat these two together
dope...
Rhymesayers Vinyl Picture Disc (it says in the About section)
aesop and slug sound sick togethherrrrrr, they both got different steez but they make sick songs together.
💞
actually dynospectrum's album came out in 98 i believe. headshots however (original name of atmosphere) was doing shit earlier. definately before 97, not sure exactly how much earlier
goddam right it does!!!
what is this from? why am I just finding out about this awesome song? love it!
He woke up, sweat got him soaked up
Looking like he spent the night getting hosed up
Smoke a butt, lit it off the stove and rush your focus up
When they breaking bread they never broke enough
Just another day of waiting for tomorrow
Situations got him pacing at the crossroads
Staccato
Face full of nostrils
Heart beating like you getting chased on that cop show
He's sick of getting cut short on the stick again
They sittin' pretty, but won't let the business in
Projectin' bricks of aggression
Protect your section, don't covet the next man's
I know you frustrated, must hate it
Maybe stuck in the ditch when the revolution's updated
Some make it and get upgraded
Every little prick wanna fuck Lady Luck butt-naked
That's why I overreact
Like you opened your lap and gave birth to a swarm of rats
Somebody should have warned your ass:
Its worse to crash than to run outta gas
[Aesop] Go real
[Slug] Forever stuck like a tattoo
[Aesop] No meal
[Slug] Go check your gut and snap-to
[Aesop] Don't feel
[Slug] Getting up under a bad move
[Aesop] So deal
[Slug] Get the fuck outta the vacuum
CHORUS (x2)
[Aesop] Go real
[Slug] Can't thief advantage of
[Aesop] No meal
[Slug] Can't eat handshakes and hugs
[Aesop] Don't feel
[Slug] Can't sleep so take them drugs
[Aesop] So deal
[Slug] Can't see which way is up
[Aesop]
Boar's head helmet, long in the tooth
I walk a three-headed dog, I call him "Duck, Duck, Goose"
Ooze through the cookie isle hands down marvelous
Possibly escorting hundred-handers outta Tartarus
Man's damp claws stack adorable cash
And flip a cardboard crown like a spork in the mash
Stone-walling
Two knees knock on a tucked tail
Swan song wrong, flower-topped thumbnails
Pop the mop one hotel robe and a Plymouth duster
Eighty sixed from his given infrastructure
Beard to his feet that filter his Hail Mary's
In the company of cartoon stars and canaries
Kid Schroeder, ivories picked over
Parts marched out to sea on sick shoulders
Broadcast images of 3D art littering the diagonal arrow on your bleeding heart sticker
People of Earth, we are not as we are seeming
The radio is on but the dialogue isn't breathing
That's why my people drive along leaning
Back into the fires that forged the whole evening, speeding
[Slug] Go real
[Aesop] Cruisers get excited on the turnpike
[Slug] No meal
[Aesop] Ticket, no brakes, no birthright
[Slug] Don't feel
[Aesop] Nothing. Sleep days, work nights
[Slug] So deal
[Aesop] And stay the fuck outta the search lights
CHORUS (x2)
Go real
No meal
Don't feel
So deal
I remember that from somewhere! Isn't it off Commencement at the Obedience Academy?
Damn! Five months later I go an answer... Thanks but I got it already :)
DOPE 👣
DAAAAAAYUM
Youngins need to learn soon...
the radio is on, but the dialogue isn't breathing
Very true, just cuz his name is the first one that comes to mind when rhymesayers comes up does not mean anything. he is getting shit cuz of his new cd like hes falling off, people dont take music for what it is, i say his prime was god loves ugly though but he will def always express longevity.
Aesop rock the lyrical god....and slug the overcast one....collabo beyond all others
added it to favorites b4 slug even started spittin.....
Same!!!
This song is actually produced by "900 bats", not "Atmosphere." They should get the credit in the info.
if rhymsayers had cage and intuition on their lable they would be ultimate
