The fact that his mind, soul, & experiences continue to breed nonrepetitive topics for him to write about is just plain cool asf. & he has always been great but there is something incredibly special about the instrumentals, his sound & just everything about these tracks...I don't even know how to formulate what I'm feeling into words. In my opinion, it isn't often that an artist, after so many years in the game, throws out one of the best albums theyve created to date...but he did done it. 🧡

The first one was a Viking Funeral coupled with basically the other Side of an Extravagant send-off, No thing. The second one is a Chinese Funeral "Send-off of the Spirits" The Chinese Lanterns, very Solemn, very "Sacred".. Again, coupled with the other side of Extravagance, "No Thing". He goes from wanting to be sent off Remembered and Loved, On the other hand... Just chuck his Body in a Ditch when we're done with him.

Big Aes fan here. This current incarnation def took this form - of this kind instrumentation and song style - to become realized at the Skelethon and Impossible Kid albums. I slightly prefer Skelethon but both great in terms of Aesop imo. This new album seems to get even harder into the rock instrumentation. +1 Hail Mary Mallon "Are You Gonna Eat That" has some fun songs worth checking out too (tho i do prefer Bestiary more). This a group with Aesop and Rob Sonic.

The man himself has said that whatever you take away from each of his songs, makes it worthwhile to create and for you to listen (paraphrasing, but I believe that's right). Also, I feel the same. I like hear other people's interpretations though, especially when they don't match mine. Sometimes eye-opening, other times... well, also eye-opening.

I think you've got it right. There's really only two ways to take it. Either he is a survivalist who craves meaning in life but his instincts won't let him become vulnerable enough to get there, or he believes his survivalist instincts show him the truth about how little the idea of a 'meaningful death' is worth. Personally, I subscribe to the former. Aes often glorifies his 'outcast' qualities in one breath, then critiques them in the next.

Aesop Rock is my favorite musician plain and simple. Across all genres

My favorite thing about his music is even as much as he shows off the beats his lyrics are so dense that you have to listen 4 or 5 times and study to actually comprehend if.

Aes. I had to pause, I'ma restart anyway, every track of yours is one to run back. Fam. Been a fan a long time. Long enough that I always assumed you'd go on forever. I'm getting some great reflection moments outta this one, and I gotta regularly check that I'm not projecting - the vibe is like that. You're a dope human being.

The hooks feel so unique yet so universal. I find myself going that's me all day, wait, that's all of us all day. We want to look nice on our last day but deep down understand that it really doesn't matter to anyone other than the 'me' that disappears once I stop caring about my last day. This will happen at the moment of death, and many times before if we are blessed. It's freeing to not care about your corpse, but yet we strive to go out looking good. Life is a blessing Peace Be With You

Listen, I've been aware of Aesop Rock for a couple of years now. Never understood a damn thing he says but all I know is that I was always intrigued. I'm a guy that is a nerd at heart but my reality was always the same type of music you'd hear in any urban environment ( gangsta rap, bitches, drugs, money etc) it wasn't til like 2016 that I even started to really love Lupe Fiasco bc I couldn't connect to his style and abstract lyrics. I feel like Aesop is an entirely different breed of an artist. My current favorite artist and whom I consider to be the greatest lyricist known to man (my opinion of course) is Cambatta. His latest SOLO project is LSD in which I consider a masterpiece. But when I listen to this album I'm scratching my head like there's clearly something different here that I can't put my finger on. Can someone explain the difference and if you have heard Cambatta, how does he compare to Aesop?

Might be my fav song so far

This song goes hard. I love it.

the best thing to happen in 2020

Amazing as always Aes.

Aes Rizzle. I find it sick how Aes has advanced and enhanced over the years. I wanna see you speed up the flow to 1000 mph with those crazy lyrics. And this track is showing that a bit. 1:35

No matter how many songs I listen to, no matter how many times I've hit repeat.. there will never be too much aesop.. some people will never understand.. I go months sometimes with nothing but aesop playing.. gotta admit tho my favorite is gopher guts.

Why is Aesop not the king of rap and THE WORLD

Dope

I can hear the voices of the machine-elves from here.

Every time I listen to an album I get new ideas. Thanks

Insane

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 really feeling this one

Amazing

I dig this - Rock on!

Aesop is what every is what everybody should listen one time to understand rhe power

Eye of the archfiend, appetite for alpha dogs / Step into the party with a killing jar and shadowbox / Like "who invited acid wash?", I'm shopping for the mantelpiece... Damn, Aes sure has a lot of ways to say he's ready to fuck up rappers. Too bad nobody can try him, he's basically carved out the whole lane of lyrically-focused rap for himself.

I had to listen to this album twice because the production is so fucking inventive that I couldn't pay attention to lyrics, now I'm playing back for lyrics and on this song the hook evolves lyrically in a thematic way that is beyond anything I've ever heard. Let's break it down: No.1 "I should paint an eye on the front door. I should tell the time by the sun more. I want a flaming arrow shot into a creeping raft. I'm just kidding I just want the cheapest shit you people have." Subtext here suggests: line one, in modern life we are all being constantly observed, the house here represents the self. Line two, I want to live free of that sphere of playing for the masses. Line three, I want to create for what I believe and be recognized for it before death (viking funeral). Line four, I know I'll never get to be heard for the aforementioned respect unless I sacrifice it all and play the game. No. 2 "I should hang a skull on the side door. I should drink water from the sky more I want a thousand lanterns drifting on a summers wind I'm only joking ya'll can feed me to the fucking pigs" Subtext: line one, If you sacrifice it all for the audience you're dead before the house comes down. Line two, I want to fill myself with creativity from a place that is real. line three, I want you to join me in a mass celebration of our lives for that creativity where we collectively appreciate that (Tōrō nagashi festival in Japanese culture). Line four I surrender give me to the fools that will swallow me as pearls. No.3 "I should nail doors to the back door, I should feed squirrels from my hand more I wanna meet the maker in a proper suit an shoes I'm lying I want em to find the body with the loot removed" Subtext: line one, I should shut off the thoughts in the back of my head telling me to be true. Line two, yet again a begging to return to true art. Line three, I want to die knowing I've been true to myself. Line four, If we don't create honestly, we die with nothing to our name. Amazing. But hey, it's no thing.
