when he says "I’m reporting from an orbit all my own, to say it gently, catch a wave in the jalopy down to burn-up on re-entry" and then the beat starts again it gives me chills this shit sounds so fire
The absolutely disgusting amount of artistry from Aesop is unrelenting and unbreakable. His sound will resonate for eons, just from how deep fucking space this flow feels. Aes, we don't deserve you.
@@frogstronaut1220 I mean, you might have just got it with the 'superficial'. People with social anxiety and neurodivergency are frequently expected to reciprocate making plans with 'normal humans'. "Why would you expect me?" Is the rational response of someone who didn't know the other person expected them to make plans, and prefers solitude.
That's cool I'll have to check it out. But I really want to know what other rapper has used that sample for a song cause that's the memory it sparks for me.
@@Cabesandia It's good to be challenged, though. I'll leave what I come up with once the instrumental comes out so I don't get too swayed by what the original song is about.
“I use a phony voice when I yell nobody’s home. I’m a liar, but I wouldn’t say I’m wrong.” “When can we expect you? Why would you expect me?” Too damn relatable!
The slumber of a certain poet soon to be awoken, can't quite catch a drift mustard softly spoken, unfrozen, thawing of the shackles, cackles from a kraken, words that dont quite match so, you know (a new form of) communication is happening, this is our reality, certainly, apparently, things that do appear to be becoming very clear to me we are very near to me and im grateful for the things i hear from ye. An untrained Jedi joins the council, something he thought he found so, looking for a scholar hands getting hotter, thanks Aesop for the things you teach me, all my life your words have reached me, one poet to another i hold this illumination dearly (for realsies) :)
i get this dude is a rap outcast, but idc, this is in my top 10 tracks of all time, maybe number 1 honestly. k dot, rakim, biggie, nas, etc, yeah theyre all amazing, but this is just different
"who struggled knowing love as more than boring data entry, more reported from an orbit all his own, to say it gently, I’m reporting from an orbit all my own, to say it gently, catch a wave in the jalopy down to burn-up on re-entry" ill
What do you think this line's about? Personally I think it's about aes identifying with the "ghost" from the previous line who couldn't understand love, and the next line is about aes breaking free of that mentality, or "orbit" as he crashes to the earth in his jalopey spaceship. Sorry if this is obvious or anything I just love talking/thinking about this music.
If you dig the piano at 2:13 maybe check out lunacy by xxxtentacion too. I've been wondering what the sample is from each of those songs, but lunacy's whole instrumental is that piano.
I got you, fam. In this line, he's starting to fly into outer space (metaphorically), despite being a bit drunk. A buzzard is a kind of bird, a bit like a hawk; it is also a nickname that pilots sometimes give to their planes. (In World War I, the British developed a plane called the Buzzard, and it is also the name of a small hobbyist's plane today, in addition to being a general nickname for "a plane," the same way that a pilot might say "let's fly this bird.") "The Matmos" is a weird fictional thing from the VERY weird 1970s sci-fi film "Barbarella." (It's like a liquid, condensed form of evil thoughts, used as a source of power by an alien culture.) So, in essence, "someone get this buzzard to the Matmos" is an allusion-heavy way of saying "SOMEbody is gonna have to fly this plane up to space, way far out there where aliens live, and I guess it's gonna have to be me."
@@ChrisMontgomeryCM oh my god, thanks. I never would have gotten any of that. Aes's music is so insanely deep with meaning like that. I would have passed over that line as some reference to the band. I wonder how much of Aes's songs I miss out on.
Prosperity. Remember what Ohana means? OHANA means family. Remember what family means? Have Aes remember what family means, then have Aes sign it with a sharpie. We thank you. I Am sorry We forgot.

Honestly tho
"When can we expect you?
Why would you expect me?"
I feel this so fucking deep. Laughed so hard when I heard it the first.
What do you mean? I don't really get it past a superficial level. Thx.

@@arachnesiofra1735 interesting.
I can completely relate with that line.
my life in two lines, love aes.
For those curious, the piano sample at 2:13 is from Cortex's "Blue Troop" on the track "Mary et Jeff".
came here looking for the sample, knew i recognized it. thx.
That's cool I'll have to check it out. But I really want to know what other rapper has used that sample for a song cause that's the memory it sparks for me.
@@TANKtheRipper check out whosampled . com, it might tell you exactly that. super useful site for when something is gnawing at your memory like that
I was humming this shit in the shower and COULD NOT PLACE IT even though I heard the album 3x daily.
Based sourcerer. Godspeed my brother.
the piano in the second half of this song is perfect.
I'm setting up a just giving page for anyone that doesn't think this album is an absolute masterpiece so they can get the help they need
Only Aes can make a song about getting high and going on a space ship trip in your apartment, sound so beautifully complex🔥🔥🔥🔥
Slowly this is my becoming my fav album. Alot of contenders through his discography. I keep coming back to this album. It's perfect
When people ask me what kind of rap i like its always you heard of Aesop Rock? They say Asap rocky?! Im like haha No.
Thanks, Aesop Rock. Your music has improved my life.
Waiting for the B-side called Mutton Basher
"Pull the pin out, sheep creep in wolf garb"
I've heard of seal clubbing, but if you're bashing some sheep you're probably gonna end up on the wrong side of a pissed off shepherd.
You can button mash my b side ;)
I also would have accepted 'Lever puller' or 'Switch flipper'
10 points to griffins door.
Baton Musher remix gon' be lit, fam
AESOP ROCK IS WHAT 2020 NEEDS. THANK YOU FOR THIS ALBUM
Agreed. It speaks to my soul and is just what I needed.
Its crazy because a listener in English class could write a whole story about there reaction to these Rhymes. Its gold
@@StaticChef agreed man
-"When can we expect you?"
-Why would you expect me?
I said the same thing......he is outta this world
Tied with "No hostages, no promises" for the most badass Aes line.
Heavy 🔥🔥🔥
One of the most if not the most underrated rapper ever
For some reason, that backbeat and flow gives me some HARD "racing stripes" feels.
I'm proud of you Ian
Just waiting for the instrumental so I can try my hand at writing to this. I can't rap for shit but it's nice to write and pretend that I can.
You probably can, but listening to Aes has set your standards incredibly high.
@@Cabesandia It's good to be challenged, though. I'll leave what I come up with once the instrumental comes out so I don't get too swayed by what the original song is about.
bro saaaaaaame
Same here bro, that's a high ass bar to reach buddy
@@yngwiesparks2644 agreed gotta reach for it, though. Have an idea I wanted to try for with it. We'll see how it goes.
Love the beat switch on this one
I miss you Erik, I pray your spirit world travels have served you well.

LOVE THE ALBUM ART
Everyone better buy this album.
THE GOAT!!!
“I use a phony voice when I yell nobody’s home. I’m a liar, but I wouldn’t say I’m wrong.”
“When can we expect you? Why would you expect me?”
Too damn relatable!
thank you for showing the rest of this dope album artwork
December 2024 still fiiiire!!!🔥🔥🔥
You always deliver! This is magical. All of it.
brilliant and a sound all his own::::
Can't stop listening to this song alongside every other on the album.
That beat change gave me life....
Love what I have heard of this album.
This is one of the most perfect beats I've ever heard. Super compelling song!
Album exceeds expectations. Came through because of the Cortex sample (v=ahPa0TioYsg). Troupeau Bleu is a favorite.
Coveralls and this song are my two particular favorites
Aesop is so awesome!! Thank you dude.
lyrical GOAT
Nobody expects the Aesop inquisition
I have never seen so many colours ..in music.
Dope 🔥
@:30 my eardrums began to melt...wait scoopie bruh did you forget to breathe
That buzz aldrin line is dope
@Cigar Face ! is it even legal to be this stupid?
@@DarcOfTheShadows no. He is breaking multiple laws and is wanted in 40 countries.
unique music and interesting lyrics, perfect
YESSS AESSS
This been on repeat
Dope track and the piano sample from Cortex is mad !
This may have been a b-side to Freedom Finger, but it looks like it evolved into a personalized piece. I love this on first listen.
You can b side my freedom finger ;)
He said he wrote all of these before Freedom Finger... and a couple left-overs from SWFG turned into Freedom Finger songs.

Wanted to add a couple of things hear and there but yeah yknow
there's time for that right
I enjoyed reading that, fuck yes.
AESOP ROCKS
Thank you Aesop. Any more explanation is unneeded exposition.
Impossible kid to save the year.
This is what rapping sounds like in 100 years
just realised the icon on the bottom right changes with every track
A decade worthwhile.
FUUUUCK yeah! This is gonna be my road mix for tha day. Aes sounds MINT on this one
Cheese and Crackers at the Apogee
😆😆😆
Fuck!!!!! I love this song! Thank the universe for Aesop Rock
🙌🏻❤️🙌🏻
Taking a second to appreciate 2:13 to 2:23 - nice.
Aes crushing
The world was not ready for this lol
Oh, fuck, thats the spot. 🥴🥴🥴
Did he reference the song cat food? With the line about a hard vaccum maybe fill a cart with cat food?
Chi chi get the yayo!!!
Anyone know the piano sample?
Found it. Hishitsu by Controlla

I don't understand this line: "someone get this buzzard to the Matmos"
Anyone care to fill me in?
I also don’t so please reply to me if you can
not familiar w matmos, but he might be refrencing going in to scavenge or sample beats from them
I got you, fam.
