It's just that as far as I can tell happiness won't sustain you through the inevitable tragedies of life. It's shattered in the very first moment a catastrophe hits you. It won't get your ass up after your father died so you can help plan the funeral and so that other people can rely on you. It's just an emotional state. Appropriate to feel at times, inappropriate to feel at other times in your life. If you are constantly in a state of happiness (hypothetically) nothing is ever gonna effect you deeply enough so that you yourself become deep. And life without depth is by definition shallow and meaningless. So I think you should strive instead for meaning, not happiness. The difference between both is comparable to the difference between elevator music and a Mozart symphony. The symphony is by no means happier than the jingle in the elevator, quite the contrary, but it's richer, it justifies itself more, it's deeper. And I think that's the right analogy for life. Not happiness, but meaning and depth. These thoughts resonated with me a couple of years ago when I was at a dark place and I find them to be fundamentally true ever since, maybe they'll do the same for you. If not, ok. Take it or leave it, I guess.

The line is a preach on many different problems. Hunger...you don't think right when your hungry or trying to get food to eat. Pregnancy....When broke and some of the best highlights are getting some. You might be inclined to be in there too long. Education.... you're starving and in school. basic needs ain't met... shit home life. the streets just to get out of the home are also a mess. emotions out of control in class...think hangry. There's more scenarios, but the jist is that it takes a lot of time for an individual to understand that there's a line of wisdom that needs to get crossed....and at the same time society in general is opposed to outbursts by individuals in any of these situations. So, it turns into a science navigating society as to not piss that society off while you are personally learning these life lessons on your own after you react in ways unacceptable to the society you live in.

“I’m a slow burn, crawl around the roadwork, something from the other side clawing at the know world.”

He's timeless. It's ethereal.

Not mo-cap, but definitely filtered live footage.

Man ace is so talented! Still doing it hard and unbelievable for soo soo long!! He is definitely unique and rare. Iv been a fan since I was 18 I’m 38 now!! Just goes to show how good he is! He will have your mind thinking. And head spinning 😵‍💫 with those intelligent words!

One of the best most underrated rappers in the game.

The line "Sir I think we've got a signal, it's fuzzy but they're playing one that wasn't from the hymnal." perfectly encapsulates my spiritual experiences. It's kinda chilling actually, how close to home this hits.

“Where were you the night of? What are you traversing earth in spite of? How are you adjusting to the triumph?”

I rewound it like 4 times to keep hearing this one line

Been almost 10 years since I discovered Aesop. After None Shall Pass, I think... This is possibly my favourite track he's released since then. Absolute genius!

This is hiphop. Thanks Aesop for all these awesome years. Love from the nl

This Song is Pure Art. Thanks.

Every time they drop a new Aesop I listen to it like 10 times in a row. I love how you have to process it
