HELL YES! Aesop is my favorite rapper of all time, his songs never got old because you’re just consistently deciphering them. Listen to Nightlight sometime soon, it’s just the darker version of this. Shit is 🔥
@@DazsdWTP Russian metalhead here. Love Aesop so much, even i can understand like 10 percent of he's sayin', coz of my word baggage, but he delivers it so cool and catchy, so i just can't didn't respect it. And the beats are brilliant itself. Most of his work, i liked split project with Kimya Dawson called "The Uncluded" - this was a masterpiece, and there was some truly heart-breaking songs on the album.
@Kyle Sedlacko That's literally the exact reason I can constantly listen to his music on repeat without it feeling watered down or stale. It's like each song is telling a story or two and deciphering said story adds another level to his music. Love it.
The GOAT, nobody can touch the man's imagery and wordplay. My favorite bit in here might be "I'll hang my boots to rest when I'm impressed, so I triple-knot em then forgot em." Clearly, he don't expect to be impressed anytime soon. Hard to believe this track is already 18 years old. So much to dig into with Aes Rock. Two decades worth of epic solo joints, collabs, features, and group jams. The rabbit hole is bottomless.
The nightlight repose of "I'm'a lay my kicks to rest when I'm impressed, so I staple gun 'em to my feet." On it's own reflects his Daylight statement and doubles down on the sentiment.
I just watched videodrome and put in aesop rock into youtube and like 2nd page found this dude, scroll down to comments to see if people are contributing and I see this
“His origami Dream is beautiful but man those wings will never leave the ground without a feather and a lottery ticket, now settle down” might be my favorite metaphor and my favorite closing line in a verse ever
The tragedy of confliction between realistic application and setting goals for oneself. Everything would be easier with money bags, but it's unrealistic and unattainable for the majority. So the sooner we realize this, the better off the individual will become.
If you can muster the time & focus, seventies style (with the big ass headphones), relisten to this album nonstop: There are three or more metaphors he twists throughout the album and they get consecutively more dark *culminating* with the song "Nightlight". The titles being opposite were the first clue for me, then looping the album until the next one came out, noticed a few more... "Life's not a bitch..."
This brings me back to listening to Aesop on our way to go paint trains in the early 2000's. Good to see that kids today still respect the Legends of underground hip hop.
@@fatkid504 Have you listened to these two songs by Aesop Rock? The Harbor Is Yours and Fish Tales. They don't quite play off each other like Daylight and Nightlight but the similarities and differences are amazing.
Labor Days was a classic!! This was a good one. "Lifes not a bitch life is a beautiful woman you only call her a bitch cause she wont let you get that pussy...." that whole paragraph hit me so hard in high school.
It’s incredible to see Aesop getting love and attention now. I remember listening to Aesop 18 years ago thinking this man would always be a underground gem that no one would find. Here we are
I'm so glad I found him a few years ago. I used to not like rap or hip hop until I found stuff like this because the stuff on the radio could never play anything good like this!
Jay Money nawwww, Em is dope and versatile. He’s not close to Aesop though I grew up on Em as one of the first I listened to He’s nowhere near as complex as people believe & Aesop is a whole 3 levels above Em. In both skill n complexity. It’s through every line he uses. If Aesop cared to slow down his material, I can say this with confidence, he’d EASILY be on the level of Eminem Only someone who can switch through multiple levels of writing that has many layers can keep up.
Aesop is so lyrically dense that you don't have time to think about the last line because he makes you follow him. And that is every Aesop Rock track and why 20 years into it, I still hear something new every time. ;m glad you found him and posted the video. I have that same reaction to every new one I hear. Dig in!
I wish i could like this more than once. Aesop rock has been a major part of my life. Im super happy to see people checking it out and enjoying!! he is really one of the best artists out there

Sweet choice! Other hip hop picks I recommend: Sage Francis-Crack Pipes/Different Atmosphere-Bass And The Movement, Trying To Find A Balance Dr. Octagon-Earth People, 3000, Blue Flowers Kool Keith-Plastic World, Living Astro, FUMF Cannibal Ox-Iron Galaxy Antipop Consortium Human Shield Beastie Boys-Root Down, Pass The Mic Mr. Lif-Home Of The Brave MF DOOM-Beef Rapp, Pot Holderz De La Soul-Patti Dooke, Stakes Is High Deltron 3030-Virus, Memory Loss Lots more can't think of them right now. Thanks for this reaction. This track doesn't get enough attention!
I love the artists- but i'd like to offer up some alternative tracks. Atmosphere - Homecoming Cannibal Ox - Pigeon. But really the whole Cold Vein album Antipop Consortium - Ping-Pong Mr Lif - I Phantom ( last track on Emergency Rations) Merge DOOM and De La, withRock Co. Kane Flow Deltron 3030 - Madness
Love seeing Aes get some proper respect. Hearing Aesop, like really hearing him, it's like the first time you see a truly good magic trick. It's fucking mystifying.
Aesop is amazing, his rhymes are dense as hell. I need to read the words to keep up with him his flows are so long. One of his chillest tracks is "Kirby" it's about his cat. One of my favorites. I love his beats.
The first time I heard this song I was at Tree's house 20 years ago, we had just finished a show and me and my D.J. passed out on his floor when we woke up he put on this song and we smoked some weed. I listened to the whole album and I envisioned a short pudgy black dude with glasses rapping........boy was I surprised when I saw Aesop Rock for the first time.
Aesop Rocks lyrics are as deep and dense as they come. No one could catch it all on the first listen, not by a long shot. Thank you for giving Aesop Rock some attention, underrated.
Aes is one of my favorite MCs, I'd be happy to see and hear your reactions to any and all of his works but if I had to pick one, it'd be Blood Sandwich. Keep reacting
Blood Sandwich, specifically accompanied by the music video, has been my go-to when introducing new heads to aes. It’s a great demonstration of his abilities, led by a compelling narrative, and isn’t quite as cryptic as some of his other material.
Blockhead produces some great music man. Him and Aesop have brought me some good times over the years, that old school New York feel with a brilliant lyricist.
Blockhead did most of the beats on Ace's early stuff. This track samples from John Coltrane and Beasty Boys. Their styles really complement each other very well. He did a track that was the negative flipside to this song called Nightlight. I have been listening to him for 20 years and still discovering shit in his lyrics. And yes, his new album Spirit World Field Guide drops in mid November.
You gotta listen to Nightlight right after Daylight you basicly just listend to half the "song" :D The album that came out this year is called Malibu Ken def a banger altho very different sound wise
Just FYI, now that we know he's digging Aesop, pretty much everyone one of my patreon request from here on out are gonna be Aesop. We got a great discog to catchup on
Ive been listening to Aes for almost 20 years. When he was touring the impossible kid, this was the song he closed his set with. This random dude next to me rapped the whole goddamn song in unison with me and a good other portion of the crowd. Daylight/Nightlight is easily one of the tracks ever and Aes is easily the best lyricist to ever do it
Found Aes 15 years ago and have been a fan ever since. Everyone talks about the lyrics, but I want to give a shout-out to Blockhead for that amazing beat. He produced a lot of the earlier Aesop songs and he's on another level
Aesop is my all time favorite. He kills his shit live too. He's got so much material... None Shall Pass (album) is probably the one I've played the most...but this song is the first song I ever heard of his...fan ever since.
Liked and subscribed. Really diggin the reactions. Aes is a truly talent. His word play and flow are next level. His talent spreads wide...for instance, his work as The Uncluded with Kimya Dawson from Moldy Peaches...a mash up of folk music with hip hop...songs such as Delicate Cycle or Teleprompters. He has a side project called Hail Mary Mallon with Another great lyricist Rob Sonic. And then there’s the project Lice that he does with Homeboy Sandman. Also...Malibu Ken, his project with Tobacco. He’s got a deep bag! Keep it up my man
Aesop came out with a record called Malibu Ken in 2019. Fantano summed it up like this: “Malibu Ken is pure fun for total weirdos.” He gave it a 8/10. Review a track from that one
You went over "I'll hang my boots to rest when i'm impressed, so i triple knot 'em if i got 'em." He ain't ever gonna be impressed with the game since it's all bugged!
Spirit world field guide is his newest album(2020) The song "the gates" is my new favorite banger! also check out "Catacomb kids" - the beat is HARD AF!!!!
I’m not total AesopHead. But the beats he’s handed are some of my favorite hip hop betas and what he does with them is really take you on adventure, which also often reflects the type of beat he does get.
From purely a writing standpoint, I honestly can’t think of many who can even be a challenge for Aesop. Even my favs, I can’t confidently say they’ll win Aesop’s pen is sumthin else entirely
Life's not a bitch life is a beautiful woman, You only call her a bitch because she won't let you get that pussy, Maybe she didn't feel y'all shared any similar interests, Or maybe you're just an asshole who couldn't sweet talk the princess
It seems only recently mc’s are discovering Aesop. While they should have been studying him from the beginning. He’s not only A wordsmith, he’s THE wordsmith. It’s well known AES has the largest vocabulary in all hip hop. People need to stop sleeping and learn his catalog
I am unsure if this was brought up already, but I just picked up on the low life counting on one hand what he has accomplished and there is the ad-lib for ok. The ok hand symbol is an o so its nothing. I have heard this song thousands of times and just picked it up
For years he was at the top of a most words used chart of rappers some guy put together and posted online. He's not anymore i think theres a couple above him now. Think Busdriver is at the top of the list currently.
This song is great.. its almost more poppy and dumbed down structurally for aes.. love it, not talking shii.. please react to attention span aes ft vast aire and/or prosperity
"yeah the settlers laugh you won't be laughing when your covered wagons crash you won't be laughing when the buzzards drag your brothers flags to rags you won't be laughing when your front lawn is spangled with epitaphs"
u sayin that 'it's hard to not stop' when u c something is so true. i hit STOP, REWIND, STOP, REWIND sooo many times, STILL, w/ songs i'v heard 2million times. B4 INTERNET LYRICS, HAD 2 REWIND & WRITE FEW WORDS I CAUGHT DOWN A PAGE, REWIND, FILL IN A FEW IN-BETWEEN WORDS, REWIND...FOREVA. still lines i got multi guesses at what he's saying, & every possibility is higher level thought artistry...DEEPEST MYSTERY LINE IS from DRYSPELL, it's either 'my pulse is a gymnast when i witness fury scurry past my window' or sites claim line is 'my palms are a chin rest when i witness fury scurry'...so his pulse doing flips or he's casually bored/unalarmed when fury's round...Aesop even posted his handwritten notebook lyrics to dryspell but not the first page...doh

HELL YES! Aesop is my favorite rapper of all time, his songs never got old because you’re just consistently deciphering them. Listen to Nightlight sometime soon, it’s just the darker version of this. Shit is 🔥
I've listened to and read the lyrics to almost every Aes song many times over and still don't get most of them. I mostly only listen to metal too.
@@essinem4130 dude, metal heads are one group who i feel need aseop, so much there that could add to the already really good wordplay some metal has.
@@DazsdWTP Russian metalhead here.

So much to dig into with Aes Rock. Two decades worth of epic solo joints, collabs, features, and group jams. The rabbit hole is bottomless.
James O'Blivion Yea it’s crazy how he can just rap in complete metaphors.
The nightlight repose of "I'm'a lay my kicks to rest when I'm impressed, so I staple gun 'em to my feet." On it's own reflects his Daylight statement and doubles down on the sentiment.
I just watched videodrome and put in aesop rock into youtube and like 2nd page found this dude, scroll down to comments to see if people are contributing and I see this
Busdriver is closest I've personally heard
I say that to myself every time I tie my boots.
“His origami Dream is beautiful but man those wings will never leave the ground without a feather and a lottery ticket, now settle down” might be my favorite metaphor and my favorite closing line in a verse ever
The tragedy of confliction between realistic application and setting goals for oneself.
Everything would be easier with money bags, but it's unrealistic and unattainable for the majority. So the sooner we realize this, the better off the individual will become.
Need to peep daylight/Nightlight. Nightlight is the dark version of this song and it’s probably the dopest track flip in all of hip hop history.
It's true you should also do nightlight. But more than anything .... Off his brand new album Aesop Rock- Jumping Coffin- spirit world field guide 2020
If you can muster the time & focus, seventies style (with the big ass headphones), relisten to this album nonstop:
There are three or more metaphors he twists throughout the album and they get consecutively more dark *culminating* with the song "Nightlight". The titles being opposite were the first clue for me, then looping the album until the next one came out, noticed a few more...
"Life's not a bitch..."
This brings me back to listening to Aesop on our way to go paint trains in the early 2000's. Good to see that kids today still respect the Legends of underground hip hop.
i appreciate your appreciation for this song. most people just don't get it.
I feel the same... this song is super special to me.
I love the change in nightlight. Same rhyme scheme but a total opposite. Hearing these two songs back to back is wild
@@fatkid504 Have you listened to these two songs by Aesop Rock? The Harbor Is Yours and Fish Tales. They don't quite play off each other like Daylight and Nightlight but the similarities and differences are amazing.
@@Jbirdz420 yeah! Lol "REMIXXX!" followed by nefarious laughter
@@Jbirdz420 same! You excited for his new album?
Labor Days was a classic!! This was a good one. "Lifes not a bitch life is a beautiful woman you only call her a bitch cause she wont let you get that pussy...." that whole paragraph hit me so hard in high school.
It’s incredible to see Aesop getting love and attention now. I remember listening to Aesop 18 years ago thinking this man would always be a underground gem that no one would find. Here we are
I'm so glad I found him a few years ago. I used to not like rap or hip hop until I found stuff like this because the stuff on the radio could never play anything good like this!
Tell me about it.. I found him like 20 years ago back in the Napster days. I'm glad he's getting some respect.
I remember listening to this song early 2000's. Still hits, hard.
"I got a friend of polar nature, and it's all peace
You and I seek similar stars but can't sit at the same feast" that part spoke. Love Aesop
“Friend of Poland nature” his Polish friend can eat together..
Aesop Rock is the greatest lyricist ever, imo. I really cant think of anyone who’s on his level.
:-: #Hurrah
There is no one on his level.
Julian the closest to Aesop I feel are Daylyt, Lupe and Canibus. Especially when it comes to speaking truth
Julian I’d say he’s the smartest lyricist ever. I think Eminem’s skill is probably better but Aesop easily smartest and most complex I’ve heard.
Jay Money nawwww, Em is dope and versatile. He’s not close to Aesop though
I grew up on Em as one of the first I listened to
He’s nowhere near as complex as people believe & Aesop is a whole 3 levels above Em. In both skill n complexity.
It’s through every line he uses.
If Aesop cared to slow down his material, I can say this with confidence, he’d EASILY be on the level of Eminem
Only someone who can switch through multiple levels of writing that has many layers can keep up.
I’m old. This song made me love hip hop when I was 15 in 2001.
You're not old, I was in college going to Def Jux concerts lol
One of the sickest tracks in Hip-Hop - EVER! A Rock is FIRE! :)
Aesop Rock- None Shall Pass
Aesop is so lyrically dense that you don't have time to think about the last line because he makes you follow him. And that is every Aesop Rock track and why 20 years into it, I still hear something new every time.

You're the man for this one
[Intro: Sample]
Yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop
And keep on, 'til the break of dawn
Yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop
And keep on, 'til the break of dawn
Yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop
And keep on, 'til the break of dawn
Yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop
And keep on, 'til the break of dawn
[Verse 1]
Put one up for Shackle Me Not, clean logic procreation
I did not invent the wheel, I was the crooked spoke adjacent
While the triple sixers' lassos keep angels roped in the basement
I walk the block with a halo on a stick, poking your patience
Y'all catch a thirty second flash visual
Dirty cooperative med platoon
Bloom, head-trip split ridiculous
Fathom the splicing of first generation fuck-up
With trickle-down anti-hero smack (Kraken!)
I pace my game for zero hour completion cretin, splash
Duke of early retirement picket dream
American Nightmare hogging the screen
I'll hold the door open so you can stumble in
If you'd stop following me around the jungle gym
Now it's honor, and I spell it with the 'H' I stole from heritage
Merit crutched on the wretched refuse
Of my teeming resonance
I promise, tempest tossed breed with a bleeding conscience
See, the creed accents responsive
But my spores divorced the wattage
And I'm sleeping now - wow! - yeah, the settlers laugh
You won't be laughing when your covered wagons crash
You won't be laughing when the buzzards drag your brother's flags to rags
You won't be laughing when your front lawn is spangled with epitaphs (You won't be laughing!)
Then I'll hang my boots to rest when I'm impressed
So I triple knot 'em and forgot 'em
His origami dream is beautiful
But man, those wings will never leave the ground
Without a feather and a lottery ticket, now settle down
[Chorus]
All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day
Put the pieces back together my way
All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day
Put the pieces back together my way
All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day
Put the pieces back together my way
All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day
Put the pieces back together my way
[Verse 2]
Slacker-bound intimate tabloid headline with a pulse
Shimmy cross the centerfold, enter dead time engulfed
Divvy crumbs for the better souls
With seven deadly stains, adhere the blame to crystal conscience
The result's a lowlife countin' on one hand what he's accomplished
Okay, link me to activism chain activate street sweep
Plug deteriorating cenobite pendragon
I hock spores coursed by the morbid
Spreading of mad men, Alley gospel
Sinking your Lincoln-Log cabin and Charlie Chaplin waddle
I could zig-zag and zig 'em again
For the badge dreams sparkle in my brick wall windows
Another thick installment of one night in Gotham
Without the wretched; Houston, we have a problem
Attached to the festive batch of city goblins
Who split holiday freaks on a box cut cinema high road bellow
Head gripped, watch red bricks turn yellow
Sort of similar to most backbones at camp Icarus
Where all fiddler crabs congregate
And get pampered for bickering
Life's not a bitch, life is a beautiful woman
You only call her a bitch 'cause she won't let you get that pussy
Maybe she didn't feel y'all shared any similar interests
Or maybe you're just an asshole
Who couldn't sweet talk the princess
Kiss the speaker wire Peter/pacifism pegging threshold
Stomach full of halo kibbles
Wings span cast black upon vigils
Here to Duck Hunt ticker tape vision and pick apart the pixels
I got a friend of polar nature, and it's all peace
You and I seek similar stars but can't sit at the same feast
Metal Captain, this cat is askin' if I've seen his bit of lost passion
I told him: "Yeah," but only when I pedaled past him
[Chorus]
All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day
Put the pieces back together my way
All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day
Put the pieces back together my way
All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day
Put the pieces back together my way
All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day
Put the pieces back together my way
[Outro: Sample]
Yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop
And keep on, 'til the break of dawn
Yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop
And keep on, 'til the break of dawn
Yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop
And keep on, 'til the break of dawn
Yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop
And keep on, 'til the break of dawn

Soooo good to see this! Songs nearly 20 years now and will forever be a great.

And yes, his new album Spirit World Field Guide drops in mid November.
Aesop doesn't get enough credit. One of my favorite songs from him. Thanks!
You gotta listen to Nightlight right after Daylight you basicly just listend to half the "song" :D
The album that came out this year is called Malibu Ken def a banger altho very different sound wise
Just FYI, now that we know he's digging Aesop, pretty much everyone one of my patreon request from here on out are gonna be Aesop. We got a great discog to catchup on
Aesop is one the baddest rappers to do it!! I’ve been rocking with dude for 20 years!!
Ive been listening to Aes for almost 20 years. When he was touring the impossible kid, this was the song he closed his set with. This random dude next to me rapped the whole goddamn song in unison with me and a good other portion of the crowd.
Daylight/Nightlight is easily one of the tracks ever and Aes is easily the best lyricist to ever do it
Found Aes 15 years ago and have been a fan ever since. Everyone talks about the lyrics, but I want to give a shout-out to Blockhead for that amazing beat. He produced a lot of the earlier Aesop songs and he's on another level
Best lyricict of all time. You need a thesaurus to rock with Ace!! Check out bug zapper for one of his hardest beats!!!
:-: You Punk lmbo #Hurrah my Brother
Hell yeah
Cool you listened to something this good. Cheers!
Aesop is my all time favorite. He kills his shit live too. He's got so much material... None Shall Pass (album) is probably the one I've played the most...but this song is the first song I ever heard of his...fan ever since.
Liked and subscribed. Really diggin the reactions. Aes is a truly talent. His word play and flow are next level. His talent spreads wide...for instance, his work as The Uncluded with Kimya Dawson from Moldy Peaches...a mash up of folk music with hip hop...songs such as Delicate Cycle or Teleprompters. He has a side project called Hail Mary Mallon with Another great lyricist Rob Sonic. And then there’s the project Lice that he does with Homeboy Sandman. Also...Malibu Ken, his project with Tobacco. He’s got a deep bag! Keep it up my man
Aesop came out with a record called Malibu Ken in 2019. Fantano summed it up like this: “Malibu Ken is pure fun for total weirdos.” He gave it a 8/10. Review a track from that one
Best living rapper since the late 90s.
This is one of my favorite songs of all times... super emotional for me.
Why’s that?
Dope post. Always loved this track it doesn't get recognized as it should
Love seeing reactions to aesop. It's hard showing him to people. Knowing the fucking genius and seeing it fly over heads.
I felt really smart when I realized halo kibbles were Cheerios 😆
fucking love aes.
and your breakdowns are good.
Damn this song takes me back to being a kid in high school. Fuckin classic.
You need to listen to daylight night light back to back 100%
💯
Even if you haven't reacted to them, Aes has put out like 3 FIRE albums since this. Adding to the all the legendary one before them.
You have to listen to it many times to get the full appreciation, it’s too much for one go.
The Impossible Kid is already a classic and it came out in 2016. You should react to ‘Dorks’ off of it.
💯
Word placement on mystery fish is the craziest. Water tower breaks my heart a bit
It’s a damn anthem.
Try his "The Uncluded" project with Kimya Dawson. They released several videos, you can pick any of it and react - it's all good.
aesop rock - "none shall pass". his best song ever
spirit world field guide drops in November i believe- "the gates" video just dropped, i believe it's the first track off the new album
I’ll have to check it out.
20 years in 2021!
You went over "I'll hang my boots to rest when i'm impressed, so i triple knot 'em if i got 'em." He ain't ever gonna be impressed with the game since it's all bugged!
Aesop Rock is a GOAT (Greatest Of All Time)
Spirit world field guide is his newest album(2020) The song "the gates" is my new favorite banger!
also check out "Catacomb kids" - the beat is HARD AF!!!!
Its only over your head till you listen to it a hundred times. Lol
I’m not total AesopHead. But the beats he’s handed are some of my favorite hip hop betas and what he does with them is really take you on adventure, which also often reflects the type of beat he does get.
One of the dopest songs of all time.
Aesop NICE with it, right?
Instantly subscribed
Aes' got that that real verbosity. GodDAMN. He really is the best emcee in the game.
From purely a writing standpoint, I honestly can’t think of many who can even be a challenge for Aesop.
Even my favs, I can’t confidently say they’ll win
Aesop’s pen is sumthin else entirely
The trilogy of EPs Aesop did with Homeboy Sandman under the moniker of Lice would be very much worth your time to listen to if interested
Aesop is the fire! Check out 9-5ers Anthem. It's filthy. Bazooka Tooth is badass as well.
Life's not a bitch life is a beautiful woman,
You only call her a bitch because she won't let you get that pussy,
Maybe she didn't feel y'all shared any similar interests,
Or maybe you're just an asshole who couldn't sweet talk the princess
Night light is an amazing follow up to this track.
@ :30 y’all catch the thirty second flash visual.... that’s deep if you get it.
“When you listen to rappers like this” Aes is on of the last to have this kind of talent. It’s hard finding rappers with abilities like Aes
Nightlight goes together with this one. You just got to hear it.
Nightlight! Aesop rock
Aesop Rock is the real 🐐
Should check out his song Freeze.. maybe Busdriver as well, Imaginary Places especially.
Aesop been my dude since 2006.
Sorry homie, Aesop is by far the most diverse MC in hip-hop history. Bar none. Head and shoulders.
Hopefully NightLight is next
It seems only recently mc’s are discovering Aesop. While they should have been studying him from the beginning. He’s not only A wordsmith, he’s THE wordsmith. It’s well known AES has the largest vocabulary in all hip hop. People need to stop sleeping and learn his catalog
I am unsure if this was brought up already, but I just picked up on the low life counting on one hand what he has accomplished and there is the ad-lib for ok. The ok hand symbol is an o so its nothing. I have heard this song thousands of times and just picked it up
I just discovered today this genre of "RUclipsrs reacting to my favorite rapper."
That’s a genre?
Brand new Aesop rock Dropped last night
Rogue wave
For years he was at the top of a most words used chart of rappers some guy put together and posted online. He's not anymore i think theres a couple above him now. Think Busdriver is at the top of the list currently.
What would happen if Aesop did a collab with Em? 2 GOATs when it comes to lyricism. Or bring together Aesop, Em, and Logic. Melt peoples minds.
Replace logic with tech or Joyner
Bruh. That uneven red square is driving me banana sandwich.
When Angels whisper in the ear of man.
While the triple sixers lassos keep angels roped in the basement
I walk the block with a halo and a stick poking your patience
This song is great.. its almost more poppy and dumbed down structurally for aes.. love it, not talking shii.. please react to attention span aes ft vast aire and/or prosperity
"yeah the settlers laugh
you won't be laughing when your covered wagons crash
you won't be laughing when the buzzards drag your brothers flags to rags
you won't be laughing when your front lawn is spangled with epitaphs"
Aesop rock is the best hands down
don't leave my boy eyedea r.i.p the best
Aesop Rock - get out of the car
why do people keep suggesting interlude songs for reacts
@@IchKomentiereNur123 I agree, it's a great song, but without context or knowing a bit of Aesop it doesn't really shine.
u sayin that 'it's hard to not stop' when u c something is so true. i hit STOP, REWIND, STOP, REWIND sooo many times, STILL, w/ songs i'v heard 2million times. B4 INTERNET LYRICS, HAD 2 REWIND & WRITE FEW WORDS I CAUGHT DOWN A PAGE, REWIND, FILL IN A FEW IN-BETWEEN WORDS, REWIND...FOREVA. still lines i got multi guesses at what he's saying, & every possibility is higher level thought artistry...DEEPEST MYSTERY LINE IS from DRYSPELL, it's either 'my pulse is a gymnast when i witness fury scurry past my window' or sites claim line is 'my palms are a chin rest when i witness fury scurry'...so his pulse doing flips or he's casually bored/unalarmed when fury's round...Aesop even posted his handwritten notebook lyrics to dryspell but not the first page...doh
aseop rock dope check eyedea pushing buttons 😊
Nice to see so many people listening to Aesop Rock. His lyrics and metaphors are amazing
Glad to see you do more Aesop. But if you did Daylight, you gotta do Nightlight.
Aes is the top tier of wordsmiths.
Another vote for Dorks as the next track. It’s far more accessible than most of his songs.
I will hang my boots rest when I'm impressed so I triple knotted em and forgot em I was in my early 20s when a good friend turned me on blew me away
Did many sketches graff while listening to the album and many others great then
