"Mirror Mirror on the wall, I feel like a fucking dog.
Something this depraved is not the product of a loving God."
No even dissing God while questioning him? Nothing in the bibles says dont question me while trying being obedient. Hes just saying im not an angel i think?
@@bluestogreen1693 I believe you're right. He has a lot of stuff relating to God and his struggle with it. "I don't really believe in God ,but God, I'm scared to death of God " from Big Bang
@@cowel8734 Not to mention the entirety of the track Holy Smokes.
"By the time I was old enough to know what religion was
I was Catholicism numb and truly didn't give a fuck"
@@cowel8734 He also said he fears no moon man so... idk
I always assume he played the word dog and god on purpose as dog backwards is god and humans perceive mirrored images as flipped further playing on the words. Even if he didn't do it on purpose, the abstraction of it is fantastic.
Aesop Rock: King of the Introverts.
No lie.
blah tru
Explains why I love his music
I hear a lil New York in that slavic...accento
Terrible at parties, wonderful at tetris.
I swear, Aes is the only artist who can make me laugh, tell a story, and make me analyze the lyrics like a philosopher in one song, this is a great example of it. He's truly a lyrical warlock.
I have been driven by my blind desires to analyze these lyrics like a very particular philosopher:
I'll be very short. I mean sometink very precise ven I say det: Young American rappr Aezop Rock is *Truly* keepink it *Real*. Dat is: True and Real vit capital T and R - as in True and Real of Hegel-Lacan. I voud espeshly ricommend his leitest trek, incospicuously cold "Hot Dog". It's amazing! Sometink amazing happns. In a sonk dat at first may sound just like simple self-directed cynicism, a naggink litany of self-effacement and so on, he in fact takes on a series of dialectical turns in de framing of his own supposed identity, showing indolent refusal to allou any miscognized igo-surplus to stick to vot he's speaking. It is as if he's anticipating vot you, him, anyone, de Big Other and so on expect him to be, and he immediately announces a series of impossibilities and cracks in de unspokn expectations, alonk vit his subjective disintrest in the outcome, agressivly positioning himself outside of subjectifyink forces, vit minimum influence on de pyoor negativity of his subjective states. Effectively, attempts of subjectification are left lying dead in a ditch, as the effects of the Hegelian Night of de Vorld are left visible on the disjoint narrative, as vel as on our image of de poet, vich refuses to remain in de simple register of Imaginary-Symbolic, givink our associations of him a dynamic dimension which stands for the Real, the crack within symbolizayshn. I claim dat Aesop Rock produces perhaps dee most sublime poetry of subjectivity in quote unqoute "all" its sublime, irreducible, dirty purity. Quotes are of cors here to denote dat de subject is always, by definition, precisely not-All, a barred void and so on and so on.
Are you high lol? Also, reading this sounds like a russian accent in my head, neat.
It's actually Slovene, so kudos, close enough. And I am high, but that's beside the point. Actually lot of people think that it is in fact this particular philosopher that's high all the time. But he's not, he's just an obsessional neurotic. His initials are SŽ and he eats ideology out of trashcans to redeem our sins.
Wtf is going on here?
Nothing, just an act of subversion of the symbolic order and so on and so on...
If "Skate 4" ever were to be released, this song could be a good fit on the soundtrack. Or any skate game.
The day has come
As a drummer the timing of his rhymes mixed with the simple yet dissonant beat is perplexing and rad af. Really needed a new Aesop song. Sick.
its called klutz
New track Acid King will wreck your mind then. Just try not to watch the video... it's, uhh, distracting.
Check out Malibu King, his new album with Tobacco
Aesop Bricktop I’m not a drummer, but love odd time signatures and figuring them out. Have you been able to figure out if this is in an odd time signature, or just weird?
He love going down on black recording artists
Aesop sure has a lot of jobs.
That's fantastic haha
Bill Devo ...But not as many as Brother Ali ☝🏼
all that and hes still homless
not enough
It's Labor.
Gonna hit the replay button.
Should take like two seconds...
I needed a new aesop song right about now
Lord Canti!
Listen to the Lice mixtapes
We all do
I got it on my Birthday and.Sat in the summer sun in California.. drank a 12 pack of PBR..and cryed with a smile on my face...im talkin boohoo tears!! ha ha!
This Hot Dog song makes me hungry for an entire album
I hope Aesop never stops.
till he trades his charcoal sticks for arthritis
till zero hour completion
till the flat line closes the curtains
He writes so much his hand probably burns like a billion tiny Bee stings...sand I've never heard him bite once! Would ha ha!
... Never stops giving us head
Is the dog played by Aesop too?
solacefaded
How do y'all really expect me to feel
When y'all are sweatin Kendrick like he reinvented the wheel
Nah but he did play the goat
solacefaded I think the boy is supposed to be him as a young adult, too.
No the skateboard is tho
At night he wears a dog's head on his regular head. Consider it an irregular character sketch.
I think this is officially my favourite Aesop track. I'm in love with that lazy flow.
same
Dude I hate how every time I bring him up, people be like "you mean Aesop Rocky, right?" You all know what I'm talking about.
i feel you
@@aesopbricktop Totally
Dope song, but FINALLY someone made a music video with a skateboarder who can actually skate.
Aesop Rock is a HUGE skater. If you like NYC street skating or just good street skating in general, I recommend his instagram.
The guy in the Deftones video was good.
@@GrimwoodHorror What's the point?
You haven’t seen spread eagle cross then
@@Dickinabox yoooo fuck yeah I agree
"Special is as special does. You are not special just because."
Gawd, say it again!
Yes your mother said you was, that's pretty much what mothers does.
His parents still don't understand how their stoner son turned a silver tongue into a brand
Mark Nordstrom I'm literally quoting a line from Aesop lmao triple fat lice first song bud
@@DavidMoscoeUni everything hes says about him is quotable as fuck
guys i say a quote you say from which song, okay.
“Watching the world from above, hurt
It's time to close this stupid google earth”
@@nzbg1132 It was a good attempt.
But not really.
@@aj.4910 Ouch
skateboarding + aesop rock = life
1:24
1:37
2:15
2:43
Hard-working man rises from unemployment only to be terrorized by skateboarder
I love every version of his 'What the hell, kid?' gesturing.
I havent watched this video in a while and acctually only now noticed but acctually Aesop also appears on 3:03
Well, two things.
1. Found a new song to listen to for my late night strolls.
2. As a fellow Oregonian, I should really check out Portland at night sometime. Looks serene.
still look serene?
👑 Aesop Rock 👑
The whole meaning of the song is ironically in the line where he says “I’m not here to make sense where there is none.” and that’s what’s dope about it.
No. The meaning is to show how is like in the head of a severe depressed person. The intro is tapes of people about to comit scuicide in a sect. Aesops songs all have a meaning, but people just think is just random cause theyre mostly mediocre in their understanding of lyrisc. Not an english native speaker but still can get what aesops saying most of time cause i try to understand.
You're a wordsmith Aes
A rap song in 5/4. Freaking wild.
@@hajile404 I think it's a bar of 6/8 plus 2 eighth notes (I'm a drummer). Count 1-2-3-4-5-6 and then an additional 1-2. It sounds weird because it is a triple meter that then becomes duple when the final two beats are added. But that doesn't make it 4/4.
Yeah its in 8/8. You can count it out. The spacing makes the beat drag and sound like its a different signature. But its just 8/8, half time.
It could also be a bar in 3/4 then a bar in 5/4 alternating repeatedly. Which would make a lot more sense to me. A 3/4 bar full of instruments, and a 5/4 where all the instruments hit their last note then trail off.
@@jimsykes6843 It would still either be a 2/2 or 2/8 because it's two quarter notes not eighths at the end.
Every song is 4/4 if you don't count like a virgin.
the illest of all time!!! I'm 43..been bumpin him forever! 43 years!!!!! nobody snaps like Aesop Rock!!!!
That will be me 30 now but going to forever
"I'll save a thousand whales before your grits are even buttered" gotta be my favorite line from him.
I fuck with every Aesop song. Probably the only musician besides Mozart I can listen to everything he puts out and love it. This video was so dope.
Hey, he has better lyrics than Mozart.
"I style thyself the most lyrically inclined word sayer over rhythm this world has ever observed. If thee disagrees, fight me." - Mozart 1786
It's true. Look it up.
one of the illest alive.
🌊🐋🌊
2:45 Resepectful Aes looks like a different person. Great song.
oh aesop, never change
Aes keeps getting better. No lie
I love it. I think his flow matches the words, it just sounds bleak to me. which seems to convey the feelings of this song pretty damn good. So another artistic piece from the Legend, Aes Rizzle.
this is probably my favorite aesop rock song, just love the groove and everything about it
That intro with the samples of the hopeful interviews with Heaven's Gate members... and then the beat comes in.
Shit. What music can do to your emotions in the simplest ways. Aes, you're an inspiration.
Oh
That adds a lot to this song holy shit
I'll check it out
Seemed like a continuation of The Butcher
The GOAT has returned.
Bought the single, played it at least 26 times and counting! Between the beat and his word selection delivered with precise surgical like timing, topped about with witt! On repeat.
Ok now this is some old school Aesop poetry. Finally something inspiring! Don't stop. More of this style Ian Mathias!
I sit here at 3 am contemplating life in my head with all these thoughts smoking out the bong. Suffering from depression as well. Thank you for Aesop for the music and thank you for real hip hop R.I.P. eyedea
If you're suffering from depression you probably should quit smoking weed, it didn't help me at least, specially when it's an habit
I swear, ever since Impossible Kid and Lice 2; Aesop has been doing more food related raps.
Xavi Denkt don't forget superheroes on the Uncluded album
Uncluded and yes....
More like since Skelethon, that album had Fryerstarter and Grace on it after all
Stephen Knight Whatever. I just think he is very hungry.
Oh yeah. There is a hail mary mallon track where he talks about the current him hiding food so that the future him finds food.
Shitty day, but then again, a new Aesop Rock song's out.
I know this song 4 years old already but no matter how many artist i move onto I always come back to this song to remind myself there actually an artist that i can relate too
This time polyrhythm is on point...
james senor what is polyrythem
Now that i've come back to it just seems like tempo shifting. Where he is changing the speed of the way he raps over a steady 4/4. Which gives the feel like he is rapping in 7/8 and hen 8/8 and going back and forward. Poly means more than one and rhythm in this case means the time signature. So it means there is more then one time signature going at the same time.
james senor thank you!!
First time ive ever noticed another artist influence Aesop...a couple parts had a little homeboy sandman vibe
I really feel like he has grown since working with Kimya Dawson for The Uncluded too, really took him out of his comfort zone, he still has the grit but he's also sounding a little smoother.
Mr B I don't this really odd beat and slow rap with story like lyrics really makes me think of The Downward Spiral by Danny Brown
They have been working closely on the Lice releases so makes sense!
It's not as good as all the comments are making it...
Touring together also, at least twice in Alabama.
This is GNR announcing Jesus Christ on lead guitar. I'm sold.
Aesop Rock: A mile wide, 10 miles deep, 100 miles per hour, at 1000 O'Clock
Full disclosure, I don't even have a lawn..
If I did I'd probly grow the grass until the house was gone.
I don't know how but that pretty much sums up my life.
The wordsmith back again...
Aes is back, tell a friend.
Good sweet heavens, this is good.
Aes riggity is (honestly) the best modern writer. Not just bars. Not just hip-hop or rap (kind of your preferentiall definition at this point); pop, hip-pop; M-C( my biased favorite) or wordsmith. He's a real person, man.
aes rizzle
Aesop releasing a new song was the best birthday gift I could have asked for
This is spine tingling, nearly every song aesop rock does is, but this exactly what i needed...
Holy
Shit
Aesop so consistently kills it
the sampling intro, wow.. man i'm so late to the pary.. better late then never... i've been following since the 90's
R.I.P. to everyone, there is nothing better!!
sorry to put you so high ACE..
Still the king of Hip Hop!!!!
It's weird listening too music for earthworms and then listening to this. The growth is incredible
MC Kerosine I totally agree. Aesop has always had a keen vocabulary but his delivery used to be very goofy. Around the time None Shall Pass came out he had begun to develop a really sick cadence & rhythm that seemed to really work for him. Back in the day I used to always say that was all he needed, and now he is one of the greatest ever imo ✌
Its 6AM, i've been out all night, and this song was my go to. somehow the beat just makes sense in this situation.
Underrated af.
Might be the most quotable track of the year so far.
Hip hop! Put some RESPECK on Aes' name
He doesn't need it
The fake rocks suck and Aesop still stands makin real shit.
i rap and look up two danny brown and aesop mainly
Jonas Joergensen BIKES!!
lol birdman reference
Brrrrriiiiing back PLUTO!
I love how the first 8 words of this song is doper than literally every commercial or mainstream lyricist I've ever heard.
Not only is it in 5/4 but it's a masterclass
I love it
Gotta luh dis!
Theres so many quotable lines in this one. Its poetry
GOAT
Eric Proulx I was thinking that. Live obviously had a big influence. I like it
Eric Proulx
Please explain, thanks
Aesop is the greatest of all time if you consider vocabulary an important part of lyricism. Look up rappers ranked by the size of their vocabulary. Aesop is miles ahead of anyone else
Awwwwww yeeeeaaahh!
So much character development from the homeless guy 10/10
Aesop rock is super dope
That Heaven's gate audio though...
i thought it was cool when i first heard it but now im like "don't try to get on the spaceship, Aes!"
Thank you, i was wondering what that was from
I'm like dating Mola Ram.. That's awesome. He's the guy from Temple of Doom that literally rips hearts out. Friggin Aes.
Aesop, if you read this - please know that you're in the small handful of rappers (including the Atmosphere duo) that are working at their top of their game and are "must hear" artists. Keep it up!
Yes! Aesop Rock is an amazing character in his own right.
1:38 get out the car Aes!
Aesop Rock is so awesome
Man this some B-Side stuff right here like Take Me to the Basement and Water. So much heart.
please appreciate the CLEAN of the ride-on to no complay at 1:50
"Special is as special Does, you aren't special just Because, yes, your mother said you Was, that's pretty much what mothers Does, someday I might find the plot to roam the earth with zero strings, cut the tether float this feather over eastern seaboard winds forever, like sea-born kings invested in the froth and fog, they'll talk of his adventuring and call him things like salty doggy..." Jesus fucking H Christ. :)
GoyToy Malloy yes we all listened to the same song you didn't get some special version lol
@@robertbitch2912 fuck off robert
Beautiful. Next level Shit.
Awesome.
One of the illest beats ever created. Aesop kills it like always. I keep coming back!
Aesop is like a wine... you know what I'm talkin about
Los beats de Aesop siempre interesantes!
covfefe
Bruh you got me dead XD.
Bien gracias , y tú ?
Amazing song, as usual. But fr i feel like Aes is lowkey suicidal. Rhymesayers, someone tell my man Aes we're all sending him much love 💙💙💙💙
MC Kerosine we’re the ones keeping him alive bro, he does this shit for the fans
Hasn’t he been treated for depression before?
Maybe. I know he had a really bad mental breakdown after the release of his Labor Days LP way back when.
MC Kerosine Why do you think he may be suicidal?
Lip Service listen to his lyrics, homie
i absolutely love how many cameos aesop has in this video. genius.
it literally switches from poetry to straight fuckin bars every few seconds or so
"Are we Donattello's David or delicate frozen charlottes?"
Thanks for another dope track Aesop
Legit don't know how this track is already two years old.
For real I remember when this was brand new feels like 1 year ago at the most
bruh this song is from 2017...
feels like it came out 6 months ago
Ayy downtown Portland!
Really liked this video. Track really nails the "sleepy city at night" vibe.
that's pretty much what mothers does
Seeing "Mixed by Joey Raia" on an Aes project makes me really happy.
An unexpected new Aes song is always welcome.
I love listening to Aesop murder the English language
Same, I'm a masters student in English Literature and Aes is still up in the top tier of writers for me even when considering all of English Literature. His grasp of the language is insane and as I wish to become a lecturer I will add Aesop to my module. If he doesn't see recognition in my lifetime in the realm of academic English Literature then the medium is backwards, this (and most of his discography) is as clever as almost all classical writers.
HOT DOGS LYRICS
[Intro]
We're so excited, we don't know what to do
Because we're about to reenter the level above humans
I couldn't have had a better life than I've had in since 21 years
And if it was good here, I know it is going to be good-twice as good when I get up there
This isn't a troubling circumstance, don't take it as that-it is just a gateway, just a drawing
W-What we're doing is we're going home. We're going home to those individuals who sent us here to do this task, and this is the happiest and joyous thing that you can-
[Aesop Rock]
Alright
Raised on dirty hot dog water and popcorn butter
EPMD tellin' me every popstar a sucker
Don't let him smell the potstickers, he'll stick around for supper
He'll stick around for cheesecake, then three days, then the summer
Where spiders eat their mothers, where rodents eat their young
I'm not here to make sense where there is none, that's dumb
My attitude is ghastly, any gallantry been going gone
I think I'm probably a lot like dating Mola Ram, I should work on that
The geezer not a leader, I'm a loner
Lover, believer, upholder of the under
Just not a people person, please forgive me if I'm flustered
I'll save a thousand whales before your grits are even buttered
My name is Aesop Rock, I've been a mess for my entire life
All I know is fight or flight, what the fuck's a silent night?
Who the fuck are you to tell me who the fuck you even are
This is more than band-aids over itsy-bitsy bleeding hearts
This is GNR announcing Jesus Christ on lead guitar
Finding Heather Hunter still inside your college VCR
Mirror mirror on the wall, I feel like a fucking dog
Something this depraved is not a product of a loving God
Periwinkle Pegasus through rat-infested LEGO bricks
Hug his mother briefly, then we're off to see the exorcist
I will not be checking messages
Why, should I be?
Special is as special does, you aren't special just because
Yes your mother said you was, that's pretty much what mothers does
Someday I might find a pluck to roam the Earth with zero strings
Cut the tether float this feather over eastern seaboard winds forever
Like seaboard kings invested in the the froth and fog
They'll talk of his adventuring and call him things like "salty dog"
He freed like a bajillion prisoners from some secret haunted bog
Always had a L to puff, never yelled "Get off my lawn!"
Full disclosure I don't even have a lawn
If I did I'd probably grow the grass until the house was gone
Kick into the town forget the address or the house at all
This is how performance art exacerbates an albatross
I should maybe shake some hands
I should turn the music down
Have some people over without asking them to move a couch
But, since you're here I've got this awful futon I could do without
Should take like two seconds...
Alissa McKleroy 😀👍🔥🔥🔥
that bit at the beginning is audio from the heaven's gate cult, the people who committed suicide to get picked up by the spaceship they thought was hiding in the tail of the comet hale-bopp.
@@decline0 thank you i thought that was it but i was wondering
@@decline0 ive been listening to this for a while, and not long ago watched the whole heaven's gate thing. never caught that here until my gf pointed it out
Possibly my favorite Aesop Rock to date.
Peace to Aesop Rock always stayin true to the craft and doing what others are not. The skating was on point..beautiful vid. And much love too anybody that listens to Aesop
18 people feel differently about this song and aren't necessarily unjustified in doing so, as the quality of music is entirely subjective
(Also this song is fucking gorgeous if you disagree you're wrong)
Pre-listen: "Don't necessarily expect Impossible Kid shit."
Due listening 1:" Definitely not Impossible Kid shit. Well, I did say don't expect it."
Due listening 2: "This is dope. But ... NO! You told yourself NOT to expect Impossible Kid. Yeah this dope though."
Post-listen: Yep, dope! Very chilled almost eerie vibe to it. I like it. Gotta love Aes, man. But ... JUST STOP! Damn, I'm Impossible sometimes."
*Presses replay*
This is my favorite Aesop song right now on repeat
One of my favorite Ace songs. Even counting labor days and impossible kid
BAZOOKA TOOTH BITCH!!!
Jason Swenders I came to break bread
Jason Swenders I live on the second floor, Luka moved. My name is Aesop Rock but you can call me Bazooka Tooth
favorite album still to this day. He needs a part 2 if he goes back to NY
My brothers name is Kenny...that's Kenny Parker!!
Thomas Haselrig that's the shit!! BDP 4 life
