The fact that Aesop has produced 90% of his own beats over the last 20 years is so underrated.

He is such a good producer! he's getting better and better producing after so many albums

FYI: called blood sandwhich cause he's the middle brother, verse about younger and older one, and hes between like a sammy

I personally vote: Spirit World Field Guide, but will agree with Impossible Kid. Gotta be one of those two tho for a 1st album review.

Agreed. IMO SWFG is his best album but it's a bit longer than most. Impossible Kid is a strong #2 though so I'd be happy either way.

SWFG is probably my favorite Aes album, but it's also pretty dense. It also helps if you're a bit of an Astralnaut.

@@teboots1 I agree but all the best Aseop is dense. Supercell and Mystery Fish on Impossible Kid are too, but I think they are also the best 2 tracks on the album. SWFG isn't as bad as say float, or Skelethon.. or something extra gritty like Malibu Ken. It's a good start considering Ase overall.

2nd should be Labor Days

The Impossible Kid is definitely worth checking out. It's got so many memorable songs. And in case you can't figure out what the songs are about, he put out tweets during the release explaining each track.

Best entry level Aesop album is Impossible Kid, but damn near all of his full lengths are classics. Plus, his albums with other artists like Homeboy Sandman, Rob Sonic, and Blockhead.

Impossible Kid for certain. Y'all NEED to hear the opening track, Mystery Fish. Goes so hard.

Impossible kid for sure. All his stuff is great. But the vibe of impossible kid is something different. Even the way the album starts is so dope. The instrumentals are just as unique as his lyrics/ flow

“What occurred next were the top of the lungs of a son who unjustly had lost what he loved, in a moment that would transcends anger to high art said this is something I am willing to die for!” Gives me chills everytime, and then he just reflects on what he just said “Can you even imagine a death in the fam from industrial fandom? Anyway…” So damn good!

Aesop initially recorded and released two self-financed records: Music for Earthworms in 1998 and the Appleseed EP in 1999. After being signed to the Mush label, Aesop Rock released his first studio album, Float, in 2000. Shortly thereafter, Aesop Rock signed to the Manhattan-based hip hop label Definitive Jux, where he released Labor Days in 2001, Bazooka Tooth in 2003, and None Shall Pass in 2007. His albums since then - Skelethon (2012), The Impossible Kid (2016), Spirit World Field Guide (2020), Garbology (2021), and Integrated Tech Solutions (2023) - have been released by Rhymesayers Entertainment. That's his discography. I've been a fan since 11th grade. I'm 39 now 😂. Die hard Aesop Rock fan. Seen in concert 3 times. ❤

I said on a previous video that Skelethon was my go-to and I think I’d stick with that. It blends the story telling of later albums (Rubi ‘81), the density of earlier albums (ZZZ Top) and, well, a dash of silliness (Racing Stripes).

HOW TO MAKE A HOME MADE MUMMMMYYYYYYY. Skelethon is my favorite Aes album. Unfortunately often overlooked by impossible kid which is amazing, But y’know.

I am so happy they are giving him another shot aesop is my favorite artist

39 Thieves. Water Tower. Gopher Guts. Jumping Coffin. Album? None Shall Pass. Or Impossible Kid. Sp glad you guys are digging into Aesop.

The Impossible kid for sure!!! I know you guys will love Kirby! ❤

Impossible Kid is the album to do , he did an animated live stream to it on release of the album

I wish I could experience this album for the first time again.

Skelethon or Impossible Kid. Both are on vinyl and both are incredibly different musical experiences in their own right.

Y'all need to check out Hail Mary Mallon. Aesop and Rob Sonic side project. "Whales" is a favorite.

Don't worry about what album to get, every single one is amazing. He been one of the best since Appleseed and Music for Earthworms. It is also worth checking Weathermen, which he was a part of.

My favorite song of his. Even though I've only got one brother that shares dna, I've got brothers I've made and this song reminds me of childhood shenanigans and learnings.

Impossible kid is the best place to start

People can always argue about the "GOAT" But it takes a real one to recognize that Aes's intellect and vocabulary are untouchable. Aes is certainly not for the rookie listener. But once you get it, you see how he is miles beyond anyone.

Check out his old track ( 20 or so years ago) Mar’s Attacks from his album bazooka tooth

I cant believe no one said None Shall Pass! TIK is a great introduction but Skelethon would be another strong contender.

Fuck yes! Getting into the underground tunnels of rap 🔥🔥🔥 Grace is another one you gotta check fellas

Nice reaction guys. My vote is for Impossible Kid

One of my favourites

The older brother who wanted to go to the Ministry concert is now a professor at Harvard Law School and specializes in cyber law (law related to the internet).

To me the albums Skelethon, The Impossible Kid, and Spirit World Field Guide kinda go together and help build a story especially focusing on the loss of Aesop’s friend Camu Tao. Skelethon is about death and loss and the pain that creates.The Impossible Kid is kinda about seeking help, letting go of the past and trying to move forward. Spirit World Field Guide is living life after that help, knowing that the pain will never truly go away but you can learn to live with it and appreciate the things you have. It really matches up with the pairing of Get Out the Car, Shrunk, and Kirby. A song trilogy within The Impossible Kid that plays out with the same themes. All together I love Skelethon the most, I think it’s much more complex, has a good sense of humor, and emotion than the other two albums but its much harder to see the themes unless you do research about Aes himself, because of that, The Impossible Kid is the album to get. Still a beautiful album, still has it’s complexities and humor(all of Aes does) but in the end it’s much easier to digest at face value

Aes Top 5 Albums (In order): 1. The Impossible Kid 2. None Shall Pass 3. Music for Earthworms 4. Labor Days 5. Float Honorable Mentions: Garbology and Malibu Ken

I can't wait for you guys to do Dorks. The Impossible Kid is the place to start.

He makes the mundane beautiful ..

They've already done half of the album(TIK) by this point but personally I'd vote for the newest one(ITS)

Gopher Guts, man that’s the one

My vote is for skelethon! Y'all haven't reacted to any tracks from it so y'all will be going in completely fresh.

Please please please keep on the Aesop

Yyyea, if you guys wanna do a whole album, I'd try a different one, since you already played like half of The Impossible Kid. None Shall Pass is more rappity rap, Skelethon is more metal, Spirit World Field Guide is a whole damn trip to hell and back.

"no body count, no concert. Chris kicked rocks in his mixed matched converse" he didn't go to the show, but he also stayed alive. "kick rocks" is a polite way to tell someone to fu*k off. pretty much saying all that fuss and nothing really happened.

@@thebaronharkanon2236 idk if I went out and kicked a rock, it would feel like I just fucked myself. So that's my understanding.

The Impossible Kid Vinyl, or maybe None Shall Pass.

Crows 1 & 2 - back to back from Skelethon.

Either check out ITS or spirit world field guide

Aes is the greatest poet of the 21st century

I cant disagree with any of these suggestions as they're all great Albums but I have to shout out Labor Days as a throw back masterpiece. Young Aes was pissed off at the f'ckery of the corporate controlled times but still saw the beauty in the chaos and expressed it like the worlds most eloquent poet was getting into early days crack addiction. Probably not his absolute best work but a little surprised that no-one at all mentioned Bazooka Tooth yet also. "Easy" is my personal favourite of that album. Don't know why apart from so relateable to me and im sure so many others

There is no "best Aes album". Every one of his albums is unique to that specific album. The dude catches a certain vibe and makes an album from it. Spirit World Field Guide came from the vibe he created when he was making three songs for the video game, Freedom Finger(all dope songs, btw). There is only "the best Aes album for your current vibe."

@tomraymond9795

Love all Aes albums but Labor Days was where it all started for me and although the production quality doesn't stand up to his more recent works, the content and creativity of the soundscape more than makes up for it. And it's so intricate and full of the bitter dissatisfaction of early adulthood when you're really getting just how f'd up everything is and you resent the loss of innocence or the world not being as it should be. Its visceral and raw. Def Jux was amazing. I think they overreached in the end with some big deals for Del The Funkee Homosapien and Dizzee Rascal who had been more commercially successful but illegal downloads killed their revenue. Still find it a bit trippy to see El-P doing mainstream numbers with Killer Mike as Run the Jewels. Happy for him though as giving us Def Jux was a huge gift to fans of Indie Rap. He's a decent producer too, Blockhead for the win though for me personally. El-P's self produced album Fantastic Damage put out on his own Def Jux Label was a spiky treat and such a flex! Also loved I Phantom, Mr Lif's debut album. This is a criminally under heard and underrated masterpiece. For me one of the great concept albums, it rolls through different movie genres from hood film to family drama to straight up apocalyptic Sci Fi and the best ending to any album I ever heard. The last 3 tracks on their own would make a top tier EP. Special mentions also to Rob Sonic Album Telicatessen and Cage's Hells Winter, both strong works. I miss Def Jux 🥲
