I don't care who directed this video. Give the editor come credit in the description because this video is insane. I'm an editor and VFX artist and I watch this video all the time. Either he found a shortcut to make these cuts so awesome, or he manually did this frame by frame. If he manually did it......props.
I edited the video as well as directing it. I'm also the super expert lighting guy on the left holding up a light bulb and a plastic hubcap we bought off the wall of The Rite Spot. This was filmed in the corner of our old tiny office in San Francisco.
The editing was done by hand in After Effects. We filmed 4 passes each of Rob and Aesop, each at a slightly different camera height and varied lighting. Then I stabilized each shot (I believe on Rob's glasses and Aesop's eyes). It was mostly stabilized by hand in the end.
That's where a lot of the interesting look comes from - the eyes are mostly stabilized to always be the same position, scale, and rotation, so when they move their head closer and farther from the camera it affects the scale and rotation of the frame. It also allows to cut rapidly between takes because they are approximately lined up and you can still follow the action without it being too jarring. I added some extra motion and such on top of that, but that's the gist of it.
The profile shots were stabilized on I believe the tips of their noses, one pass in dark silhouette, and one pass with some light.
Because it is cutting so rapidly between takes, it's also fun to see the slight differences in their mouths as their performance varies between takes.
The wooden bust on the left of Big Wiz is a portrait of Bruce Willis, carved in Mexico from a low res JPG reference. It's missing the wooden Chewbacca mask that fits on top of it. i.imgur.com/I5mrb49.jpg
Thank you for the nice words.
Alexander Tarrant Oh I get it! Nice work, and cool technique. Stabilizing from the eyes was a good idea!
love it
+Alexander Tarrant A bit late, but I gotta give you grats for this masterpiece dude. I really can't hear the song without imagining the video.
+Premoguys luv u
@andrewhime Hi, I edited this video. We shot it in the corner of our office. We filmed 5 slightly different angles of Aesop and Rob rapping and knew we would edit it together in a choppy way to match the song, but the layering came from messing with the footage after the fact. Most of the footage is stabilized on their eyes. Everything moves around their eyes. From there, it just cuts between the different angles, changes scale, etc. Some of the same ideas were also applied to the Wiz footage.
Amazing work. Very impressive. Thank you :)
Rob and Aes are the definition of talent in Hip Hop
we NEED HMM 3 now more than ever. Latrinalia was AMAZING, as well as SWFG, but the synergism the two have together proves the sum can equal more than it's parts.
Love the way it looks like Aesop is coming out of the frame at the beginning. This is very well shot. Oh, and best line of the song:
Utter "Unto thee I surrender mine flesh!"
She said "Put the yellow sticker on your fender - Next!"
This editor's skills are insane!
rob sonic is one of the most under-rated mc's.
dudes fucking talented!
He is great, but rapping next to Aes, you're likely to get overshadowed.
Heads up - Meter Feeder remix pack available on iTunes now! Video, original, and 2 remixes included!
"age: a million. sex: drugs."
how that fuck do i have aesops complete discography and havent heard any of these songs besides grubstake. what the fuck have i been doing
I'm just jealous you have his full discography.
I've been stopping by Amoeba in SF every week and still haven't seen a single album for last 6 months.
lol don't feel bad man I did the same thing. Hadn't even heard of this collab till today.
Check for Aesop's production work also... There's a lot out there.
zsantschi Make sure you get Bestiary and AITD for more of the new and improved Bobby Freedom.....
lol nice username and picture!!!!
how does this still have 200,000 views?
this is one of the best songs of the first HMM album
"Uncle bobby blasted at the back of the wrong wedding. I came for the food but i stayed for the prom dresses!" -Rob Sonic-
I decided to listen to their album again, i gotta say it's really dope
YESSSS!! hail mary mallon is too good! im so glad i bought the album
RHYMESAYERS FOR LIFE
Rhymesayers is easily the best label.
Rappers with real things to say.
This editing is absolutory nuts. Whomever was in charge of it is a master-craftsman.
What I don't see people pointing out is that the editing really highlights the differences in Aes' and Rob's flow in the song.
Aesop's verses are a lot more erratic and 'outside the box' when it comes to following the instrumental - he's basically creating his own rhythm in harmony with the instrumental - and the editing in his sections perfectly encapsulates that: almost every syllable results in another filmed take being placed 'in focus,' lots of shaking and jittery movement, and it uses a lot of overlapping multiple layers at once.
In contrast, Rob's verses more closely follow the rhythm of the instrumental, and so the editing on his parts holds the same take as a continuous shot for multiple words, with other takes only being occasionally overlayed for emphasis, the movement and rotation of each frame is a lot smoother, and mostly having only one layer overlapping the 'main' one.
Both are absolutely phenomenal, but I absolutely love this detail - it really makes you appreciate each one more when you have this kind of visualization of their flow. Great music video, great song, great artists!
Aesop has the most amazing flow and the voice kinda' sounds like a trashed old school radio. GOTTA FRECKIN' LOVE IT!
My brother was watching a documentary today and I heard a few lines of dialogue and it was the sample @2:33 I found it! Mwahahahaha
The documentary is called "Werewolf".
dude... shhh
Word
Great work!
This is the shit. Rob Sonic is the dopest MC out right now with the sickest word play and Aes has been on it for decades. It is truly amazing how idiots can like M&M and LIttle Wayne and hate on this. This is the best Hip hop album in years and they are working on the new joint and I cannot wait.
Are u really grouping in Eminem with lil wayne? Really?
Devin Menge Indeed I am. I know, I catch that a lot. I don't like Eminem. Never have. He tries way to hard. Just like Lil Wayne. Never dug a single song of his. That's just me.
Trying hard is a stupid reason not to like someone (although I'm sure it's not your only one), you're SUPPOSED to try hard. You don't have to like Em but don't disrespect him like that, he has 2 of the most widely acclaimed & influential rap albums under his belt & they both feature great story-telling, rhyme schemes, imaginative lines with vivid imagery & there is important commentary that reflects the time. Even now he remains skilled with rhyme schemes & energy. Just say you don't like him, don't call him an idiot just BC he doesn't make super underground poetry rap like rhymesayers. & don't put him in the same as lil wayne. That's too far man lmao
No, he tries to hard to be shocking and offensive. It is a good reason because he does it to sell records to pissed off kids. I know, a lot of great MCs love him. I just don't get it and I get tired of all of the credit he gets while artists A LOT better artists than him get shit credit and coverage because they don't sell as many records. Also, my complaint was people hating on Def Jux and Rhymesayers because they say it is 'White Boy Rap'. It has been going on for years. Eminem gets a free ride because of Dre, but is now where as good as El-p, Aes, Rob, Despot, or most really good white rappers. *Remember, in my opinion*.
I get what you're saying i still think it's wrong to dismiss an artist as shit just bc they don't do the type of style that Aes & El-P do, Em is just as talented he just excels in different areas
that "uh" aes does before his second verse of the song gets me everytime
That's honestly one of my favorite things ase does the "hmm"s "huh"s and other things he just says in verses
This video took a LOT longer to edit than it took to shoot it.
That's erratic.
Way longer, it's a sick edit though.
that's the "cost of doing business".
Shooting time: 4 hours
Editing time: 4 days
Discovered these dudes through their Johnathan tune.... I have absolutely no faith in hip hop anymore but these dudes give me hope.
check out Run The Jewels 2.
colorscollapse Best advice.
colorscollapse Lol was just about to write that. They're great two, Just discovered these dudes.
BALLASTATUS11223344 You gotta understand that this is underground music so to speak,stuff like this would never go mainstream in this day and age. Look at Aesop him self,people @ lyrical genious dot com compare him to the all time greats lyrical complexity wise,while at the same time most of the mainstream sources calls him a wannabe fake artist just because they don't have nothing to relate to simply because they can't understand the words or meaning of them.
Go around the internet,browse through hip hop forums,youtube,spotify and you will come by more and more artists like him,the garbage that you hear every day on radio isn't even 50% of hip hop music that is around us,the only difference is that the shit ones are everywhere right in your face,the good ones have to be found,shit like snoop dog lil whiner,the new eminem ''stuff'' is a speck compared to the underground scene. And i don't think that that's such a bad thing.
It never fails. Since 2004, you always surprise me again with how much I love your music.
This is one of the best aesthetically pleasing videos rhymesayers has ever done.
Dadadada MEETER FEEDER!
Never knew there was a video for this track. It's pretty badass
My face just melted.
@DocMohzus Grieves is on RSE just like Hail Mary Mallon.
Kauft euch das Album. Es lohnt sich auf jedenfall!
Smacking phuls in the face with this song . This album was and still is a klassik
THANK YOU THANK YOU Aesop and Rob Sonic - Hip Hop is back.
It never left. You just have to look to the underground ;)

"While half of the critics claimin' every year: "Hip hop's over."
F U C K Y O U, hip hop just started
It's funny how the most nostalgic cats are the ones who were never part of it".
El-P, ft. in Aesop Rock's 'We're Famous', September, 2003.
crazy good. props to the producers too.
RIP Jessica Grace Jaen Guardia. Thanks Rob for helping me get through my D.c. years and sorry for thinking that parasite was you putt9ng music out
This is dope! Hearing this kind of music is why I started liking Hip-Hop. I love that these guys aint coming with the old emo rap love ballad music that is out there. Keep it up guys!
Love this song, and video. Epic freshness.
Dope!
Love this song. I do kind of miss aes with more sampled beats vs. electronic. Still sounds tight but i hope they do at least have a few sampled tracks on their next album.
Yo these cats need a thing like R.T.J. has with clothing and shit. I wanna be able to show the world I'm a fucking fan.
This song, beat & vid is perfect.
@AFrame88 No complaints here. I personally don't care for the mainstream look of rappers. I dig the more casual brilliance of all the Rhymesayers.
Aes' enticing looks right before spitting, is too much for me to handle:) This song is too sick:) Can't get enough!
now this is a video that i think takes full advantage of aes's sex appeal.
Album of 2011. Period.
Looks like about 5 vids ran smooth.
Hella cool effect. Great editing!
And the song well no shit this is some dope ass shit!!! Aseop👈🔥
One of the fucking dopest videos ive seen ! the editing is amazing, and this song with it is just toooooo nice!
@bobbysonzarelli You killed it on this whole album bro, I'm disappointed in myself for not hearing you earlier. HMM is one of my new favorites.
Aesop Rock came back from the distant future in an effort to jumpstart an evolution of music in hopes of making music advance to the point where his future music can be listened to without people's heads exploding from aural orgasms. In the future, Aesop Rock's music is a Schedule I controlled substance and he's been on the DEA's most wanted list since Califonia became an island in the year 4073. Fortunately for us, all that's about to change. Prepare yourself.
Aes's first verse is about how he got a parking ticket and he has to wait like beetle juice (if you watched the ending of the movie "Beetle Juice") to actually pay big for something that isn't a big deal. Also how the system we all grew up in screws everyone, especially those who work for it also loses and once people figure that out they will grow violent and desperate for change. Very clever wording.
best Hip-H0p album of 2011.
Best indie video since Black and Yellow!
Good times. Watched this on MTVU
This popped up in my feed randomly and I just wanted to say I had no CLUE Jonah Hill could rap like that.
Name and occupation: Aesop; twiddles thumbs with underlings. Lololol I love Aes.
Rhymsayers collectively rule undergroung rap in my Australian eyes... C.D Cannot wait to release date in OZ for this album. gotta get vynal... yo!
Song is great and video editing is beautifully done. How does this video not have more view.
Aesop's part is about the DMV and Rob's is about (more or less) the Airport.
Best. Thing. Ever.
teller #7 looking weathered, like a decade in a glass box yelling shook her feathers, utter unto thee i surrender mine flesh, she said "put the yellow sticker on your fender. NEXT"
@njaltho some suggestions....
The stray cat dirty fingernail rap scurry
From the slash-proof straps of this creel tap gurney
Awestruck, cough wop overscaled mack mercy
And blast-off, casting aspersions overtly
Parry absurd curfew, eager to go invisible
Sunday drive, disfigured and growing tentacles
Coupe down to the brackish water
And a speed trap pro demasking marauders.
dope editing!!! now this what i call music video!!
sick.
Rob Sonic is always my favorite part in these songs.
He's too dope.
Music is awesome!!
Dope As Hell!!
This. Is dooooooooooooooope!
Gotta get this album.
Great video!!!
Officially sanctioned hubcap
fire
yeah!
this album is good !!!!
Acerizzle in full effect , Rob Sonic hits heavy too !! In my world Ace is the king of hip hop .
DOPE! RHYMESAYERS, THE TRUTH IS HERE
hip hops riding shot gun in hoopty, with aes rock behind the wheel.. with no breaks an a half eatin rear view mirror. "this isnt for the underground this here is for the sun"
this....is......amazing!
This is awesome!!!
Holy shit!
Saw this live last weekend in Denver. Dope shit.
nice flow and praise the editor 🙌
Video is trippy, song is epic
One of the best....jammin...
Me encanta.
We should all one day take over all the radio stations across the earth and rid of horrible mainstream music
@alexissmall no offense taken. also, wiz did not produce this or any of the record. he did all of the scratch work. i produced this. the rest of the record is all produced by me and rob. thanks for the interest. best, a.r.
Great music video. Awesome shoot
@final650 I do see your point. But as a songwriter and lyricist myself, I also write shit that I have to explain to people sometimes lol. My point is that, in Aesop's head, these lyrics probably make perfect sense.
Dope ass song and album.
Too Nice!!!
@95Pine two of these guys are from NY, and the other from Texas.
Oh man, come on, you know they do, thats like the sole purpose of being a fan
awesome song and video, really interesting visually
holy shit, everything about this song. FACE MELT.
what they do to aes's voice when he says guilty in the first verse is the sickest thing ive ever heard
love it
So dope.
Sick
Props to his videos too.
This is so bad ass, amazing video
"Part bad rabble the raffles the rest off
Dollar down Noah that goes to the great flood
With a Styrofoam finger making it rain ones"
Love this line!
