AWWWWWWWWW SHIIIIIIIIIIIIT

woooooooo

Super Dig This.

Well that was severely disappointing

(even if it's a bit short) Good song, great video. Rhymesayers not dead yet.

Not his best, but pretty damn good.

better than what hes been releasing in the past few years

that was dope. aesop is one of the greatest. how is a 4 min rap song short?

This was pretty solid. Looking forward to the album.

Yeah this was awesome. His flow has really improved since Skelethon.

cool song and vid

Pretty good. I need to give this guy more spins.

this is what the fuck i'm talking about.

this guy is just the worst

nah he rules

Better than anything Kanye puts out

not sure why we're comparing them but ok

maybe...just maybe...it's because they both make rap music. just guessing though.

^ you knew what he meant. Even within the same genre, Kanye West and Aesop Rock are like night and day. It's absolutely asinine trying to compare them.

i swear calc u just say dumb shit on purpose sometimes lol

holy SHIT this is dope! a new top for him as far as i'm concerned. fuckin stoked for this album now!

not me nooooo....

"Drank kool aid from a tube of acrylic
And i grew up in a linseed oil over linen
Joy to the poison voice in the resin
Capture a map of the gesture
Back up add a little accurate fat to the figure
Re do that move that inwards
Zinc white lightning shoots from his fingers
Studios drone with allusions of tinctures"

holy shit stfu

love it, my favorite kind of lyricism. him and jon mess should make a book on lyrics that make no fuking sense but feel good to say

he can't say anything like a normal person, everything has to be hyper-intellectualized just because he can. a cup is a cyllindrical fluid dispenser, a birthday is a genesis of life epoch or some shit. absolutely despise rappers like him

i mean thats aesop rock for you, you can complain that it doesnt make sense but the guy knows what hes doing

its his style and hes going to stick to it, he has tons of tracks with straightforward lyrics dude you just dont listen enough

see hail mary mallon, tracks like daylight or no regrets

i guess daylight isnt the greatest example but its has epic bars

ill try to listen to those when i get home. tbf he's not the only one guilty of this, but he's like the poster boy of this kind of backpacker rap. every once in a while i hear a dude like him playing at the gym and it's so annoying

i mean fair enough, your complaint is valid but it doesnt bother me or make the guy not worth listening to imo

i'm pretty sure he words things that way so he can flow with them better. it's not like he doesn't ever say birthday or cup

that's not really much better but yeah he comes across a teenager who just discovered rap who wants to sound really really cool and smart

well follow along on genius.com or something, dude isnt a fool

yea im prolly being harsh but idk it just rubs me the wrong way. i feel like he's cut out of the same cloth as the dudes on here who seek out "intelligent hip hop"...just like no self awareness. almost like "i wanna do that hippity hop stuff but like way more intelligently than those other unsophisticated rapsters"

I'm (not) sorry fourth. it's just the drugs talking right now

yeah i'll def look into him more

lol im pretty sure i wont ever like his music but ill get to know about him as a person tho

it's really my indifference, I'm sure you've picked up on it. cultivating an internet personality is just kinda sad imo. Key have you listened to clipping? that guy I think is technically just as proficient as aes but he doesn't do this "intelligent" thing you're hearing here.

gave him a try a while back, dont really remember liking him. think it was the abrasiveness

if it was the first album yeah that's like TV static, the second one is much better. work work is a great song imo before and after that chick's part. try that one

aight will do

Aesop is one of my favorite rappers of all time but I get where you're coming from key. It's different, but it's always annoyed me how Immortal Technique tries to make himself sound intelligent when it kinda just makes him sound like a tool.

Awesome.

You're creating this in your head, dude. He's never said or done anything that would make anyone think that about him, you're literally just projecting that onto him because you don't like his style of rhyming.

And I'm not grilling you, by the way. I see that you admitted that you were being harsh. I'm just pointing out how silly you're being for thinking that of him.

no I get that that's probably not what he's going for, for sure. it's just the impression I get from him. which is why ill look into him more to make sure im not unfairly judging him

that's what poetry is... saying something and meaning something else. how boring would it be if every rapper just called everything what it is, instead of coming up with new words for it to show you a new perspective? some might call Aes wordy or cartoony or whatever, and i get that, but he's got his own style and his lyrics do make sense. just cuz you don't see it right away doesn't mean they don't make sense.

there's being poetic, then there's calling a straw a tube of acrylic

he's being more specific to give you a more specific image. it's funny and it's true. i don't see the problem

I'll have to check this out when it's released, song was cool.

This is easily one of his weakest songs in recent history

Don't have to listen to this to know how bad it is

Gonna check this, Skelethon was one of his better efforts.

Keyblade be the type of guy who would go up to Picasso and tell him to "start painting like a normal painter."

the cover is so bad

the song sucks also

"Keyblade be the type of guy who would go up to Picasso and tell him to "start painting like a normal painter."

ah yes, likening him to picasso lmao. totally missing the point of my criticism tho gj

He's a goddamn word smith. Level 100 smithing for dayzzz

how does this song suck exactly
