LYRICS:
A little bread, a little circus, it serve as a diversion for devils and death merchants, I was curled up underneath the swirling threat of reds and purples, lumberjack flannel, strapping saddles over servals, paddling in circles with 10,000 maniacs in yankee caps, who get to know the neighbors every time they tip the ladle back, rag tag cats and canines who catch phat tags on the fabric of space time, all work no play, dull boys rotate, Old Boy, Ghostface, Tolstoy, Coltrane, throws up coffin nails, off the rails, born bathed in a tornado of claws and tails, got skulls on his sails, cobras on the pleather, salt and pepper soldiers barely holding it together, but supposedly awoke and down to mobilize whenever, you’re pretty much a Gomer Pyle to pester, remember, I’m Pop-O-Matic trouble, I will commander the goulash under hockey hair, zoom off on a blue ox through the blogosphere with poppies for your mama bear, carrots for the vitamix, kibble for the puppy, something bloody for the firebit, never mind the appetizer writhing in the spider web, stare into it long enough you biters just might find yourselves, tea with the dark side, Slimer on speed dial, sleep on a couch or a street or a leaf pile, our kind can not be redeemed, I’m a cancer on the glamor, I can’t with the “Me Me Me”, no anesthesia, surgeon with the signal jammer scrambling the feed, distributing the panacea free, all day, there is no amount of Our Fathers that could remedy the black dog breathing down his collar, mi casa like I’m Oscar, hot and popping out a flipped lid, eyepatch, Prince wig, disappearing grid blip, stiff lip, sure to shit talk a centurion, tsk tsk, I don’t really wiggle with invertebrates, purp in the thurible, off sides, toss thine merch in the urinal, it’s nothing personal, dirtbag don, don’t provoke him to act up, I’m golden doing donuts in the Totoro cat bus, everything I touch turn to black sludge, bugs in the bag lunch, punch through a mack truck, hunchback, get y’all acquainted with the contagion, nobody safe, say hello to well beyond containment, I came for every cell between the belfry and the basement, you maybe wanna telephone your favorites, we take it where the warlocks lock horns, soda pop, popcorn, top notch gore set to Bach over fog horns, snotty nose, clogged pores, fork in his heart, back away or catch a halo made of orbiting stars, yea, transform in the dark, got a dog nose sniffing out the source of the snark, got a cat’s ears twitching every snap of a twig, triangulate your position, a simple rabbit to skin, I been an echo in the dark who demo applied science at the parlay, barf rainbows and cry diamonds, ok, ready Freddy, headlong into creeping death, respawn where you least expect, I could pick a pin and tumbler right in front of the guard, out the front with another Picasso under his arm, hit the city limit still exhibiting his inner Caulfield, baby, I’m H.E. double hockey sticks on wheels, new dawn, show ‘em how the voodoo doll feels, plus launch fireballs from the palm heels, on an otherwise slow day, this is how I row into the rogue wave, yo...

God Aesop is still on another plane of existence in his rhymes and lyrics.
Copper Dragon I love that in his last couple albums you can understand him better
Aesop Rock has his own planet
Since day 1
yea but his flow is like half as good as it used to be
@@atevefencj9500 1. That's subjective. 2. Wtf are you even getting that from? I hope it isn't this song. Lol this is on par with Day Light, but has a different beat. If you don't have anything intelligent to say, could you maybe go comment on Limp Biskit or something?
Knock em’ out the box, Aes.
Knock em' out, Aes!
Reference to a period of his music that the artist is ambivalent about at best.
nice one
@@wrarmatei wait is he really? NSP isn't my favorite album of his, but Catacomb Kids where the quote is from does slap, imo, I like the track a lot
@@wrarmatei If Aes wasn't okay with people referring to his past, he probably wouldn't have written, produced, and published music about it. Let the guy give a compliment.
@@wrarmatei you must be fun at parties
I heard he "used" to draw.....
I heard he used to paint too, what's up with this album!!!
reefchiefer damn really? Sounds like it's hard to admit.
Hard to admit
hard to admit that he used to draw

Henry Hill well said 🙏
@@MrSafer relisten to what aesop say at 2:05 then scroll down the comments to tell someone else.
Its my childhood in front of a tv.. Pretty mainstream pop references from the 80s mixed with some modern day semblance looking back from now tippin hat from then.
My appreciation for Aes' music always hits on two levels: the first is when I am bopping to the song, and the second is when I delve into the lyrics.
I also can never get tired of looking at his artwork
Well put.
So.......three levels then
But when do you get tired of delving into the bop?....
Great analysis
@@4some2joe0 the third point is an appreciation for his artwork, which does not fall under his musical work. So, no, 2 levels of appreciation for his music for me.
RIP Kurt,his portrait look amazing Aes
for real
Seriously
It's actually an older lady, I thought it was Kurt too until I watched it on my Dad's giant TV.
Michael Schleining he posted it on his Instagram with a memorial and the picture it was based off of, seriously heartfelt stuff
@@barnoslat5632 I will have to look into that. Thank you.
I love Aesop's drawings honestly
i'm so happy he started drawing again!
It’s insane how Aesop consistently uses end rhymes for an entire track with words you’ve never heard another emcee rhyme with
what do you mean by "end rhymes"?
@@unclespaceman
I think it's the last word in a bar, or line, that rhymes with the last word in the previous bar and the next bar as well.
(Probably totally wrong lol)
@@alejandrobrisenogallegos4454 i think thats just how it goes most of the time tho =)
honestly its the stuff that other emcees use that impresses me the most because even when he covers something thats been used by others, Aes does it in a refreshing way. Like, I've heard the multi "fog horn" utilized dozens of times in rap but Aes is the first person to turn that rhyme scheme into as interesting of a bar as:
"we take it where the warlocks lock horns; Soda pop, popcorn, top notch gore set to Bach over fog horns."
Most diverse lyricist in the history of hip hop. GZA for close second.
My dude Aesop just made a music video with all his Instagram posts lol
Definitely has vibes of mixing the flow from a song like Lotta Years with the more abstract lyrics from the older Aes things, love it
Production is fantastic, love the beat, can't say much more about other than double thumbs up
Definitely reminded me of Lotta Years, but yeah the lyricism is back to being much more obscure than on Impossible Kid.
The flow reminds me a bit of Tuff as well
Gots some Klutz in there too.
Definitely reminded me of Aesop rock... oh wait. Comparing someone to themselves 🙄
@@ian-blum "Puke in the meow mix" yup it matches lol
"doing donuts in the totoro cat bus" coolest rapper alive. who else would write that?
Lerry Gindgren favorite line, want it on a shirt
DOOM
I would, but I'm a student of Aes so your point stands.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSS yup...villain would
@@hehwhwh727 doom and aesop are so good, just got a playlist for those two alone
Aesop has straight up transcended the need for a hook or chorus, and I couldn’t be happier
I enjoyed Malibu Ken but I’m happy to hear this is more back to the Impossible Kid style. Seems like a follow up to to Rabies
Malibu Ken was amazing in it's own way to me but Impossible kid was super dope. I juggle album when I'm in the mood for aes and just vibing
I feel Tobbaxo’s beats just aren’t meant to be rapped over and it created this weird dissonance
Malibu ken was a bad acid trip lmao. impossible kid was more like a juice cleanse
what! suprising to you here
Will this be in you're top tech under 50? Lol
"Doing donuts in the Totoro cat bus." Love it lol the drawings are so cool and makes me wanna crack out the old sketchbook
I love that line so much and you definitely should man. I've been meaning to for the longest time now and still haven't.
My favorite line from this song without a doubt
Let this be your catalyst to getting that sketchbook out and cracking that spine.
That line is fire.
I get the impression that aes started drawing hella again after he made that track Rings. I think all the art in this video is his. But yeah it's never to late to get back into your art ! Do it! :)
There's a indie rock band called Rogue Wave and they released a song playfully called " Aesop Rock " when they heard this, which i think is brilliant lol
Pretty sure Aes is incapable of mediocre. Every track, every verse is just beautiful art. ♡♡
He tried once.. making a song about a frog. its probably one of his more popular songs.. lol
This comment section will still be gettin lurked 5yrs from now...
Try 200 yrs
@@themultiverse5447 beat me too it. Aesop could go toe to toe with MF Doom
_"Bruh, You an OG"_
@Joe Geno____King Ghidorah needs a pedicure lol
And they'll feel just like we do when browsing Music for Earthworms or Labor Days videos. Much love future earthlings.
Aes is without a doubt the goat right now!
He has steadily improved his artistic abilities while simultaneously making his music more accessible without dumbing it down whatsoever.
For real. Aes is aging like wine.
@@FirinMahLazer1 If that's the case, let's hope he doesn't turn to vinegar.
@@totallyunoriginalusername vinegar has more uses than wine and doesn't get you drunk. Good for what ails ya.
@@alexanderkonczal3908 Didn't even think about that, thanks.
yeah Aesop is one of the few artists from the early 2000s "underground" scene that is STILL consistently dope and always messing around with his style and trying new things to keep it interesting.. Alot of those guys from back then have kinda fallen off (Theres a few though who I still like like El P for example)
has it seriously beena year since malibu ken sheeeeeezus
Wtf no way!
still bumping it incessantly
Okay this is getting outta hand...
Y'all wanna know something wild? I actually discovered Aes the literal day before he 'n Tobacco dropped Malibu Ken. I was going through his albums, reading comments that were years old, already feeling bad because I thought he was done making music. Then BOOM - I got a notification that Corn Maze was out and everybody was freaking out because the hiatus was over. That was super exciting to see happen.
@@calimango7926 check out his other stuff. impossible kid is a perfect album
I remember buying aesop's albums on vinal in highschool. He creates such original soundscapes. I'm hooked for life.
Agreed, his music blew my mind when I first heard it back in 9th grade(01').
DJ VitylVinaL on the ones and twos...
V I N A L
I find it interesting how many different people can enjoy the same artist, like for example I'm personally going on 20 soon & have to say that my highschool ceramics teacher last year was pretty amazed that I even knew who Aesop Rock was let alone listen to him, but alas no one in my highschool, beyond the faculty, has even heard of him or a majority of anyone I listen to, which is pretty saddening but fascinating that I can have such varying musical tastes from my peers.
@@totallyunoriginalusername totally sounds like what a high school ceramics teacher would listen to.... and Aesop could rhyme of a line like that.
God daaaaamn I am loving this slow, grimey, rhyme scheme Aes has been showing lately. Like at 2:16 when he says, " we take it where the warlocks lock horns, soda pop, popcorn, top notch gore set to Bach over fog horns"
It's just so satisfying to hear. Reminding me of Hot Dogs and Untouchable.
the way this excerpt keeps hammering down on the incorporation of the the ACH sound while maintaining not only a cohesive rhyme scheme but the intended message & niche references is kinda wild.
Yeeeeeahhhhhh! Hitting that replay button 14 times in a row and pretending it's a new album.
Only 14? Lmao. I still bump cat food and klutz on repeat with no shame. So once it hits spotify, you already know. Haha
@@rodeofrancisco6130 It's been on Spotify for a few days now.
This video is honestly great, Aesop Rock’s drawings and sketches are great as well as the hot bars he spits on this single and the way Rob Shaw pieced everything together was prefect.
Good shit once again.
Those are his drawings and sketches? How do you know?
@@SergioGarcia-bb8mr check out the video credits. They are AES' illustrations!
@@SergioGarcia-bb8mr When asked about his song Rings, Aesop stated "Rings reflects on my failure as a visual artist, and some of the regret I’ve experienced in regards to not pursuing it further." Give it a listen. Cheers!
TH-cam: "We recommend this and this and this and...
Me: "Yeah yeah yeah - WAAAIIITTT! - Is that an effing brand new Aesop Rock video?!?!?
Aes in a league of his own
party over here, he'll be over there
DOOM, Ghostface and Aesop are the Gods among mortals
C-rayz better than ghost any day. If camu was still around he’d be their leader.
Absolutely
@@hehwhwh727 ghost face isn't in there my dude, at least put biggie or R.A instead
"Back away or catch a halo made of orbiting stars."
The dude is so clever.
2:06 “Get y’all acquainted with the contagion, nobody’s safe say hello to well beyond containment” Dayum....either this is fresh AF or dudes a prophet-I say BOTH
Prophet? No. If you are talking about that new virus, it's from a family of viruses. It's probably just a coincidence. But there's been outbreaks of similar viruses in the past, like SARS and MERS. He probably wrote it in relation to what is going on though.
I mean just before he says this line, "I’m a cancer on the glamor, I can’t with the 'Me Me Me', no anesthesia"
Strange Wayfaring Stranger eyeYiYi bro give it a rest... Our opinions don’t matter. 🔥 is 🔥
he posted a snippet of this track months ago on IG, although he definitely tweaked the cadence.
I think it's been done and he decided to drop it from a project into to 7inch and raise money for Kurt.
The song is a lot like Klutz, and when the tracks are this lyrically dense it's hard to see them fitting into a project.
Though, I could say the same for the first 4 tracks of MK, too.
Either way it's been written for a while and could just be metaphor.
"Travel like a rat through your cabinet - spaz. 20 paw pads full of scabs. Often a false ad, full plaid, all dander - blast off."
Be right back, I'm thinking I should get around to telephoning my favorites.
How was this dude not won awards yet smh people need to raise their standards of main stream radio rappers, knocked em out the box once more
cuz there's folks defending 'NON-LYRICAL RAPPERS'! in my reply to comment at 1st i was incredulous that there was a genre called non-lyrical rappers BUT NOW HAPPY THAT MASS PROMOTED RAP ACTS UNDERSTAND THEY AIN'T LYRICAL & THERE IS A DIFF. Tolod the guy THAT'S WHO TERRANCE & PHILLIP REPRESENT ON SOUTH PARK...Acts farting in your face the whole time==non-lyrical rappers. his comment on Daylight/Nightlight vid page was, 'can y'all stop comparing him to non-lyrical rappers and think you're better than everyone else because you listen to Aesop?' Told him we are better cuz we insist on lyrical rappers! LOVE HOW PALLETTE CLEANSING AESOP'S ART IS
I love his music but let's be real. He doesn't do himself any favors by making the most incoherent bars in hip hop history. Lol
Ya they r real tongue twisters but if u listen u can understand them but to repeat them is next to impossible... kid lol
@@bwbh117 Huh? Are you serious or trolling?
The only word Aesop Rock doesn't seem to know is Chorus.
None shall pass?
But he knows "carrots". Oh god does he know "carrots".
He just doesn't need a hook. It's that good.
Ok ok there's plenty of songs of his that have a chorus. But another sick example of one that doesn't is Facemelter. And in Ruby 81 there isn't even a beat!
@@rastamouse1988 shit dude. Even klutz wasn't bad. I liked that grimey sound to it.
Hot dogs was good but it felt lazy.
1 of 4 was super sentimental, not bad work at all. We got ya. He doesn't resort to chori. A lotta times, he doesn't have to. :)
I needed some new Aesop Rock in my life right now. And this sounds gold per usual
“A little bread, a little circus”. Dayum. 6 words deep AF.
"say hello to well beyond containment" hitting a little harder right now...
Impossible Kid inspired me to get back in to art. Years later and I'm several years into an art degree. The sketches in this video are just wild. Happy to follow along through his insta. As always lyrically there is no comparing Aes, he's in a class of his own.
I'm honored to be this early to witness new AESOP ROCK
Thanks Aes!
R.I.P. Kurt Hayashi
Seen them both around the neighborhood once and both looked really happy together. Sad
honestly I never understand what he's saying the first time I hear a track, but goddamn his flow and beats are top notch.
As soon as the beat drops it’s like the fanfare announcing the return of the king.
great as always, Ive been really digging the new vibe hes been on since Impossible Kid. Grundgy, dirty, playful, and full of self reflection and heart. For me, its been his most relatable stuff, and it comes across so much more personal than his earlier work. Not knocking old Aes at all either (Float and Labor Days are two of my favorite records of all time.) but you can really feel a maturity in his newer stuff and its exciting stuff. Great work, hope an album is in the works
I think once he left Def Jux there might of been some more room for him to breathe
I completely agree very well said
Did you listen to HMM Beastiary?
@@kcksd10 yup, also great
Aesop Rock makes me proud to be into lyrics.
This hits hard the lyricism is on a level no other rapper can come close to and the instrumentals are tasty in my ear drums
We are born of the blood, made men by the blood, undone by the blood. Our eyes are yet to open...
Agreed
Absolute facts, nice hunter rune btw
@@Astonsayswhat
What do we fear?
Yes others can compare
I was listening to Hot Dogs this morning thinking it's time for new Aesop
Haha. Nice. Woke up with Klutz running through my brain
Apparently the fella that directed the Hot Dogs video passed away and some of the proceeds from this single and merch are going to his family. Gonna have to get a Aes sticker pack and make them into magnets I think.
@@treythehardway thank you for sharing!
Wow, you must be telepathic
'"Never mind the appetizer writhing in a spider web/ stare into it long enough you biters just might find yourselves" this dude is cold fr
There's a lot to say about this, but one thing I love about Aesop is that he always seems to "stick the landing", so to speak. The way he ends this song is really impactful. He's conscious of the fact that the last line will be the lyrics that stick with you the longest. It's almost like they echo in your head after the song ends. I also love the way his voice rises and falls like an actual wave with the "A" sound being at the top..."On an otherwise slow DAY, this is how I row into Rogue WAVE. Yo."
For sure that's intentional, effective and masterful. I'm going to have to listen to this a few times, but I love it from the start.
Skateboarding and hip hop are perfect for each other brothers from another ya dig
"Ready Freddy, Headlong into creeping death. Respawn where you least expect."
Aesop never fails to amaze me
Aes is the opposite of every other artist; he gets better and better as time goes on.
Black sludge? Nah. Everything he touches is gold.
2:50 "I could pick a pin and tumbler right in front of the guard, out the front with another Picasso under his arm" just so cool god damn
That Totoro cat bus line just got me so STOKED!!
Good to see the Homeboy Sandman portrait in there, too. Another unsung hip hop great.
Caesar Sams 1:39! Thought the same thing.
I'm about to start studying my Masters in English Literature and write poetry myself, Aesop is a genius to me, somehow combining a T.S Eliot level of references with top tier rhyme schemes in both literature and hip-hop spheres. This guy is a top tier writer in all forms in my opinion. I wish to become a lecturer in English Lit, Aesop Rock will be on my module for sure.
Someone said that he’s an artist. Indeed. He’s more like the modern Diogenes. Do you own a mirror?
Aesop Rock is one of theeeeeeeee most underappreciated rappers on the planet. Not underrated because those who have been listening to this kind of real rap music already hold him in high esteem, but his talent is so beautiful that more should know his importance in the art world. Great fucking tune.... But then again when does he not deliver.
With all the things mentioned, such as the Totoro cat bus in this one, it makes you wonder how many of the seemingly random lines are just references you don't get. Great lyricist, great artist, musically and drawing wise.
On impossible kid he has a line
'No stairways into heaven you can step into the escher'
Didnt know what an escher was. Learned it was the name of the artist who drew those crazy staircases going nowhere. M.C Escher
Fucking christ aes
He's been teasing demos all throughout last year, I think we can expect an album sometime soon.
It always makes me shiver when it says "disappearing grid blip" as it shows a drawing of Kurt. That's a creepy coincidence. Rip man
The bars on AES dude! His bars are like a hundred Sistine chapels while the rest paint finger paintings when they spit.
Lyrical mastermind has blessed our craniums once again! 🤯
Damn early af for history in the making
Soda pop, popcorn, top notch gore set to Bach over fog horns.
this is nuts
"To me, this song is a small boat lost at sea, rowing for hours, days, losing all track of time and direction - 360 degrees of nothing but ocean," I really enjoy skipping the hook entirely. It doesn't always work - but when it does it just feels right."
-Aesop Rock
Amazing new music Aesop, love from Australia!
And I love MFDOOM. He's a different kind of talented. Jumps back and forth between lazy and super smart.
Hip hop with Studio Ghibli references, I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be.
rest in power KURT. Bars still be sulfur beats still striking the match.
I sooooo wish Aes is discovered before he moves permanently to the spirit world
Please never stop making music
I really hope this a prelude to a new solo album, Malibu Ken was dope, but I need me some solo Aes
Getting some serious ALL CAPS vibes from this beat
Aes has always been an inspiration in a lot of ways. Usually e-mails bother me, but I was so psyched to see this dropped. So much love.
278 views? Last time I was this early, Aesop Rock was Aesop Lava.
Still pyroclastic af.
You just can't touch a flow like that.
Aesop raps in every colour of the emotional spectrum. It's the sound of what imignation, creativity and the human experience feels like... I can't think of a better way to phrase it
The beat that starts at 57 secs.....Jesus I can't get it outta my head, needs to be a whole track set to that...
AEs do a book of your art, we'd all buy it for sure..
SMIB....
SO good to hear some new Aesop ❤️
Aesop still the best emcee in the game and refuses to give in to mainstream mediocrity
Uh somehow I missed this song? what a pleasant surprise!
I float..while erebody is busy drowning...on a rogue wave
The late night bate can wait when rock drops new music
Haha. Swear.
Aesop is my favorite writer AND in my top 5 producers. GOAT
This feels like aes channeling mf doom. No hook, fire bars, crazy jokes, THE most obscure references possible and a vocabulary unmatched in the game. Just wish doom was still progressing like aes is.
So hype! The impossible kid does it again! 🔥🔥🔥
"I"m golden doing donuts in the Totoro cat bus"
Very possibly the greatest lyricist in hip hop, its honestly staggering, you could teach a university class on Aesops variance and growth
Not even close tho
Not even close tho
Sailing the S.S. Kirby into the rouge wave 🌊🌊🌊
Best of luck Hayashi!
Dope!!
Well, shit. I know what I'm gonna be listening to non-stop for the next few days/weeks
I swear Aesop is Benjamin Button-ing his career and just keeps getting better.
"10,000 maniacs in Yankee caps" sounds like The Baseball Furies from The Warriors.
"In my mind I think 10,000 maniacs in MAGA hats"
Other rappers should be ashamed
Aesop is the real goat. Tell me why I'm wrong. Being mainstream is not what matters. This dude is the most articulate genius. Most unique words in a single song/album.
RIP Kurt Hayashi, it’s great that Aes is thoughtful enough to donate all his proceeds from this release to his family. This is such a beautiful song, so many abstract lyrics and a good flow, love the beat. Been waiting for a new Aes song and this was perfect.
Sounds interesting nice one
Geeetings from german

Yep
This man is the unstoppable force and has yet to meet an immovable object in his career.
He hasn't changed. This is good. Very good.
NEW Gorillaz and Rock! Nice
have they collaborated in the past? I never realised how well that'd work
onesyphorus Ὀνησίφορος Del the Funky Homosapien (who worked with Gorillaz) has a track with Aes called Preservation. Pretty good
There's a Gorillaz and Aesop track coming out?
Club Astro, sadly no but they both release new song the same week
This one sounds like RTJ's "Thieves! (Screamed the Ghost)" to me.
I like.
if only he would work again with el or feature on the next rtj
@@alejandroramirez4470 Man, an Aes verse on an RTJ album would be incredible.
@@samuelkeene1589 yeah, well hopefully they'll have info for us soon. Sure it'll be great and a day one purchase for me
Let’s be honest tho everyone...bazooka tooth was meh....aes and El’s production just don’t mesh well for me.
Clean out your ears, bazooka tooth is fire. Aes on RTJ would blow everyone's brain to mush
Juat saw Blackalicious last night, they said they got new music dropping 2020... if we get a new Aes album....
Damn what a fucking time to be alive
Way, way, WAY less mainstream than I was expecting, and in a veey good way. Killer track Aes
Is anything Aes does mainstream? He's years ahead of that.
