Aesop be like listen to my album but leave me the fuck alone.
ahhahahahahaahhaah dude this comment is gold!! thanks for the laugh
He's a humble man. Respect the content but don't idolize the man who created it.
hahahah
You don't get the track. All by myself means he is on his own because of what he says.
Fools.
You still don't get it.
"It's not even compelling melodrama
It's a comedy, somebody wanna shop you as a saga
I'm very voluntarily persona non grata"
GODDAMN
that line is savage as fuuuuck
+Empty4330 "The disillusionment has truly been a difficult pill
but you as anything menacing is a difficult sell"
This song is dope!
Aes never used to get this vicious, except maybe on "Try Not to Die"
Cx Mu I beg to differ. "Save Yourself" and "We're Famous" are pretty fucking viscous. Maybe a bit esoteric, but viscous.
noofalata indeed, they were never quite viscous enough for me. Left my ears far too soggy.
Aesop really outdid himself on "Impossible Kid." Goddamn.
Fuckin killed it
couldn't have said it better myself
Sound quality is real good. Content is obvious.
back on the level of the early 2k's
Labor Days shit.
Aesop brought a demon to a gun fight
+Eddy Collado hahaha good 1
Ed De lmao
i dont get it. is Aesop a demon?
@@tacomcarthur9685 I wouldn't say that, more so he is well versed to the universal linguistics. Words have more powers than just love and hate. The contextual inbetween filler ups can leave you both full and empty but if you just drink and diet based on nutrition and... man im so far from being able to accomplish this.. back to my studies
How do you know it's not a demon behind a gun?
I used to floss the albatross like daddy Kane with the chain.
It is a ode to hip hop and a reflection of the poem of rythm of the ancient mariner. A reflection of carrying your sins with you around your neck.
THATS FUCKING GOLD BARS!
Omg nice thx
Minor correction - Rime of the Ancient Mariner, not Rhythm... tho rhythm would be incredibly apropos given the context!
"each one separately convinced they're sketching with Davincis hands" amazing
@@devinreese7704 rappers, making sketches instead of the masterpieces they think they are making.
"I ain't even mad, I'm impressed, shit, it's baffling."
I fucking LOVE the lyrics/message of this song. That moment when you finally understand an Aesop Rock song is like resolving a geometry problem. Ah, he's a fucking genius.
yep exactly
the thing is the video is still nonsense
Once you understand his first one... it domino effects and you begin to understand most of them. Then you begin to think like him. The key weapon for a genius is knowing how to harness mental, physical and philosophical associations at your will. Example: Blood sandwich lyric - "Apes on a Monolithic Bleacher" > Monolithic because you just stare at the milfs in the stands, full of wonder, as if it were the pyramids of Giza and cant take your eyes off.
@@Lastrevio lol the video makes perfect sense
"Rap is uneducated, repetitive and formulaic"
AESOP ROCK: "Hold my dictionary"
*THESAURUS
@@austintyler7901 Both!
If you need either to comprehend that line you might need to read more books yo
Who is the quote from? I've never heard anybody say that rap is any of those things.
Do you have a source or did you just invent criticism in order to qualify your own opinion?
@@hazardous7114 That's not a source. If everyone is saying it, then it will be easy to find a source. Everyone is a big number too so it would probably have been faster for you to source it, than to write and edit that comment which said nothing.
God damn Aesop still killing it decades into his career. Respect
Aesop won't quit. Impossible kid is amazing
R. A. is a live action bobble head in this song!!! Absolutely love this man, artist, and jam...
Maaaaaan, I be doo boppin with a dance flow on this one!!
Getting ready to be 61!! Remember folks, don't laugh at us old dancers, cuz u 2 will be an old dancer one day!!
Don't stop, keep on dancing all your lives!!!
every single bar is insane with so much thought put into it lol I've heard this track a bunch of times and still catch things like I think "you can't be cooler than the corners where you source all your parts" is talking about for instance rappers who rap about street shit but don't actually live that.
i think that lines moreso abt how mainstream rappers who bite shit from the underground will never be as cool as the ‘source’ ( the underground rap scene)
I just love how he speaks truth on the scene. It can mean whatever to whomever but it ain't a lie either way.
I stopped writing rhymes when I discovered Aes. Ain't shit I can say he hasn't pretty much already explained in depth.
@@kevinlabonne888 Hey, I'm sure your influences are different than his, in some ways. You could contribute to the artform even if you aren't the most profound or insightful MC. We all have to start somewhere. The inauthenticity and values of the current scene are discussed at length in this song. There's plenty of rappers who are insightful and honest, even if they don't carve an entirely new lane like Aesop. I think that if you have fun writing rhymes, you should do it. It doesn't sound like you started writing to get big or sell records. What's wrong with that?
Lol no. He's saying you can never flex on what actually made you who you are.
My favorite line of the whole song and I completely agree.
my favorite poet/songwriter of all time
+Mr Del Gat0 poet/songwriter was right. His lyrics coo be aren't amazing...
+Mr Del Gat0 lmao whatever you say my man.
Rhythmically
Applied
Poetry
Bear Side People who make rhythmically applied poetry are poets
Bear Side stfu if u dont know shit homie
Noone can touch his lyrical skill , and this might be his best beat ever... Fn killed it. It's a fn shame more people don't know
I think were all a bunch of weirdos on a quest to belong.. The songs are echolocation of an impregnable fog.. Sick. The metaphors in this track are off the charts. Right out the gate talkin bout he used to floss the albatross like Daddy Kane with the chain. And all the way thru till the end If you can decipher them.. Dude went IN on this.
Song alone smashes 99% of every rapper
This is one of the greatest hip hop albums ever made and too few know about it. The world is losing hope.
I just can't get over how bad ass this whole album is "the impossible kid" every track is just as 🔥 as this one. aesop went beast mode on this one
DOPE. The shaman aesthetic is so fitting
It meant a lot to feel the fugitive community breathe. This man been sticking up for the unhoused. Live this guy.
Love. Too lazy to edit
This line has nothing to do with homelessness though...
@@OmniscientDreamNo it doesn't. Aesop shows his compassion to the homeless in 'Agressive Steven' though.
Oh my fucking fuck, this beat.
that scratched-up sample on the hook is crack, can't stop hitting repeat
hell yeah
yeah that fucking hook gets me, too.
JBV UMW this beat is so hot with lyrics to match, I played this song disproportionately more than most, and it's nice to write to if you can write and block out Aes
Aesop is the perfect example of what unrecognized genius looks like in music .
u can't b cooler than the corners where u source all your parts.
favourite line on a record full of primo verses
pictures worth a thousand word.. an Aesop rock song is worth a thousand pictures..
nice
cant believe im just discovering this
After you walk your dogs check out his catalog
Welcome. Glad to have you with us.
Me too, greeting from Spain :)
"i think we're all a bunch of weirdo's on a quest to belong"
This whole fucking album, man. We're nearing the end of the year, and no other album has even touched this, IMO.
ValhallaBeckons The Impossible Kid deserves best hip hop album of the year imho.
this whole album is amazing. it reminds me so much of my brother.
He passed away in our apartment early this year, just before recording his next song. He was an MC.
i wish he was here to share this with me.
Sorry for your loss. You should consider dropping a link to your brothers music. It will live forever
You won’t be able to drop a link thanks to captain censor. But tell us where to look
*_STILL WAITING FOR THIS GUY TO GET FAMOUS_*
Same, damn.. If his party was over here, I'd be over here.
He is probably one of the most famous 'underground' rappers there is.
Eh.....i mean there's nothingworse than hearing some asshole singing the words to a musician you love and wondering how the two of you could love the same thing.
"Did you say A$AP Rocky???"
@@chrishenderson420 and yes that is an accurate statement right after Detroits finest clowns. Aesop Rock should have no problem surpassing them tho
He's in it to win it, guaranteed to work with words that you ain't heard in a minute.
The story of how he feels like an outsider and his self professed socially awkward personality. FIRE
+kevgor138 It's a dig at underground hip hop communities and the jealousy and fakeness that goes on there. He's basically saying fuck you to the whole rap scene. Also chances are the third verse is about El-P and RTJ.
+dagrimmreepa how is it about RTJ?
***** Third verse is about El-P.
+dagrimmreepa how though?
He changed his style from introspective and intelligent to gangster and gross, mean mugging on camera and acting hard.
"Braggadocio to go from mostly jokey to gross corrode a homie till his probity is notably ghost"
Plus he's pissed at him for neglecting his label and scoring pity sales with Cancer 4 Cure, which was about Tau's death and opportunistic. IMO.
My favorite track on the album, and this video is just as good 🙌
ikr !
heck yeah
What about Syrup?
+Leroy Jasper that one is cool too, I also like Lotta years
shadowsaul93 Album was a definite 8 or 9 out of 10 for me. His best one to date definetly better than Skelethon.
ugh why isnt he more recognized?! He is one of the best.
Finallly checking out Aesop Rock for the first time! FD Signifier's recent "White Rapper Paradox" video kinda gave me the nudge I needed to get here, and whoa! what the hell was I doing sleeping on this dude for so long? I'm instantly hooked! Aesop goes so hard, this was an insane first listen!
Thanks to this Aes song I know what a "manticore" is and what "probity" means.
The closed captioning was right on, thx.
I caught that too! 💐
Been listening for over a decade, and every song is a banger. Years later and I still find hidden verses in Labor Days even.
if only every hiphop artist could grow the way aesop has
If you followed him from Float or Labor Days, then you'd know there's been an obvious improvement, or maybe refinement or honing of skills, from album to album.
Look at all the rhyme sayers guys if you wanna talk about growth as MC's aesop, Ali, and slug have all come so damn far
@Mr Del Gat0 most other rappers put out their best material early on in their career. Impossible Kid is imo his best album.
@@peoples2296 I really can't listen to his older stuff, somethi g about the voice and delivery just doesnt work with me, but the more recent stuff (impossible kid, skelethon, hmm) is so sick
"We the texans" by zack n stevie ray genoch on youtube.com it's a rap song with hockey and football.
Click on the link below to get straight to the video! 🌞 thanx! Have a nice day!

Love the Rob Sonic cameo in this one!
"I'm very voluntary persona non grata." fucking same bro
This is possibly the best beat Aes has made to date.
supercell, but ok
the lyricism is top notch
1:35 just realized that's rob sonic
Life is so unfair, party over here, I'll be over there
"Maybe no one cares..."
"Heavy loads to bear..."
.
I view the rattling of sabers like a show to expose insecurities exploding in emotional code
You that dude. Keep it real
thats the illusion/
Aesop puts out more headlines than the gossip magazines
I just realized the big monster at the end in probably supposed to be the mythological beast "Manticore" consider the line "we let the manticore out, we make the sorcery bark."
Very volountarily persana non grata..".gets me everytime
I have the album on vinyl, I'm really enjoying it!
you took my name
no
lie
tomato lie
Wow no way! That's super cool! Thanks for letting me know you had it on vinyl! Super sweet man! Keep it up! Totally!
Rob Sonic, Hell yeah!
I swear Aesop's flow is addicting.
"Its not even compelling melodrama, it's a comedy somebody wanna shop you as a saga; I'm very voluntarily persona non grata" Holy shit what a fucking bar. To subject yourself to the need of continuing of media programming in such a way where your own program tells you that it's what your purpose is --> "voluntarily persona non grata". What a loaded concept.
I don't hear enough people in here talking about how powerful it is that someone like Aes, who is clearly extremely intelligent, thoughtful, well-read, and an absolute _master_ of language and his chosen art form - who has just spent the last several lines layering densely-packed meaning and imagery on top of each other with unparalleled precision and care - calls the people he's calling out with this song, "you fucking dorks."
Absolutely nothing Aes says is just thrown out there, which means that his using such a simplistic, childish insult for someone he clearly has such strong negative feelings for -- has to be deliberate.
Almost like he's saying "you _know_ what I'm capable of -- but using it on you, would be wasting it."
From his whole body of work I keep coming back to "The sound in his head must be terrifying." I'm glad he knows this many words so I don't have to. Imagine what a passing thought that doesn't get wrote downsounds like.
Stick around Aes, you provide more than mere entertainment, you have a purpose.
love that MC Shan sample
when i first heard this song, when aes said 'persona non grata' it felt really satisfying and really solidified my my opinion that aes is a lyrical mastermind
The song itself is a masterpiece! I am really enjoying the shamanistic approach in the video too!
ROB NOOOOOOO!!!
Cool stuff. If Kirby doesn't get a video I'll be highly disappointed though.
+Arimor Same. Could just be a 3 minute uncut video of following Kirby around and I'd be satisfied.
Kirby has the most irritating chorus Aes Rock has ever written.
+Anthony Johnston i feel it fits well the songs tone, its a fun song about his cat nothing more.... its also a nice break in the album
Off the whole album that's the only song that consistently gets stuck in my head.
Get out of the Car, Zero Dark Thirty, None Shall Pass, anything with Rob Sonic (or as Hail Mary Mallon)
FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE much respect from ITALIA
This man is at the peak of this artform, and no one can convince me otherwise.
Question: If I died in my apartment like a rat in a cage
Would the neighbors smell the corpse before the cat ate my face?
I used to floss the albatross like Daddy Kane with the chain
I'm tryin' to jettison the ballast with the hazardous waste
The kid is comfortably numb, routine a tedious crutch
Deep in a self imposed Stockholm and Lima influx
Maybe an occupation popular with demons and ducks
Made any mingling akin to bein' seasoned and stuffed
It's a theatre of jumpin' jellyfish, jealous little sycophants
Miserable and flimsy from the skivvys to the pissy pants
Each one seperately convinced
They're sketching with Da Vinci's hands
Delusion turn a communication of prison camp
You fuckin' dorks ain't a threat to the cause
There ain't a lesson we can learn from the ostensibly lost
I think it's funny when defendants from identical haunts
Step out the tempest to measure
Of what the spectrum involves
Maybe no one cares, party over here, I'll be over there
Don't need no help, all by myself
I used to hang around with rappers at the root of the scene
It meant a lot to feel the fugitive community breathe
Maybe to sentimentalize is to be truly naive
I know some shit about your heroes that you wouldn't believe
I think we're all a bunch of weirdos on a quest to belong
The songs are echolocation up in impregnable fog
That's why it's odd to see a pile of imperfections and flaws
Ascend a pedestal to patronize the rest of the cogs
And a mess of obnoxious fantasy, posturing and pageantry
I ain't even mad, I'm impressed, shit it's baffling
God almighty chop an ivory tower to piano keys
Play your own dirge on the way to surfin' maggot beach
You fuckin' dorks ain't a source of the art
You can't be cooler than the corners
Where you source all your parts
The poker face, all it takes a couple sordid remarks
We let the manticore out, We make the sorcery bark
Life is so unfair, party over here, I'll be over there
Don't need no help, all by myself
I view the rattling of sabres like a show to expose
Insecurities exploding in emotional code
With braggadocio to go from mostly jokey to gross
Corrode a homie til his probity is notably ghost
Before the hobby was a job he was a manager, Hell
You would wobble round your momma like an infant gazelle
The disillusionment has truly been a difficult pill
That you was anything menacing is a difficult sell
In a whistle-and-bellorama, black mollies to dress up like piranha
It's not even compelling melodrama
It's a comedy, somebody wanna shop you as a saga
I'm very voluntarily persona non grata
You fuckin' dorks ain't the leaders we need
This ain't the medium for divas out to weasel and breed
I'm off in coffee with the paupers over tea with the queen
Don't make 'em show the regency what disobedient means
Heavy load to bear, party over here, I'll be over there
aesop rock went in
.... DON'T NEED NOONE...MOVE BY MYSELF!
@@zachariahking5972 "Don't need no help, all by myself" but I like your take as well
Knock em out the box Aes.
Don't make me call squirrel Master into the box of comments
Aesop flow aging like a fine wine
My favorite rapper hands down ... I love trying to decipher his rhymes
I just noticed that the missing poster is the same one in the "Rings" video. I love the concept of Aes still searching for himself and how it carries through throughout the entire album. Rings to me is about his love of art that was an identity for him and was killed by others. "They will chop you down just to count your rings" to me translates to being in this forest of people and you being something a little different. In this case it was art, and all the nitpicking and criticism that comes along with that field. If you chop down a tree just to count the rings, you have killed the tree for no other reason than to know its age. Outsiders have killed his passion at a young age...there was so much time left to perfect the craft, but its dead now. Dorks is about him being in this world of hip hop / rap (whatever you want to call it), but not really "fitting in" with the standard stereotypes of being in the scene. Again making him an outsider in a craft that he is obviously good at
Its also a double entendre for a tyrannical king who gets killed just to get his riches taken and create the same power hungry king all over again
This new album is amazing Aesop and this is my favorite track on it. Keep spitting rhymes until you lose all your saliva.
From beats to cadence, this record kills. The vinyl is packaged amazingly, as well. So much thought put into every aspect of this record.
This guy's on some serious chems.
AESOP F#@CKIN ROCKS!!!!
I'm literally going to watch this 500,000 more times myself just to make right the world.
Just how Are you doing with that? 😁
this man is a god, that voice-the delicate placement of words... yum
"We're all weirdos on a quest to belong."
FACTS
Was wondering when this was going to get uploaded here. Love this track and video. The Impossible Kid is killing it.
Too bad that too many people out there aren't intelligent enough to understand his music. Genius.
This cat will get famous when people start listening to music with their ears instead of their eyes.
Well said. People used to. Maybe that day will come again.
Most people are moving the other direction.
This Cat's cat is even famous, Kirby is a damn legend
“Walk on even when the walls hug his coat” is such a deadly bar to end on
The best AES ROCK…

It's because someone where you live has bought the rights its not youtube or aes or any specific thing aside from a company where you live buying the rights.
This mans lyricism is incredible
After 40 years of being a rap fan…Aesop Rock nailed it!
NO! KIRBY!! WHY WOULD YOU EAT SUCH A GREAT RAPPER?!?!?!?
"Shrunk" would make a great video (just saying)
WORD UP!
well you're in luck then
Agreed
this song gives me goosebumps
In 1990 I got my first set of 1200 mkII’s. It changed my life forever. By 1992 I was spinning at college parties all over NY as a 13 year old kid. Hearing this makes me tear up man for real. The feeling of lugging my gear as I listened to my Sony Walkman instantly came to mind. This is a classic track that makes me happy to be alive to hear it after having not for a year or 3. The new album is so dope. Your a legend Ian, point blank period. As always , this listen made my day better bro!
Happy new year!
a vid for my fav song of the album! thanks Aes!!!!!!!
Thank you! So happy you exist
Had to look in the dictionary for this one. Way too fire
Party over here I'll be over there.
+Jason Mullen Party over here fuck you over there
+Kuba Nowak don't need no help, all by myself
+Jason Mullen that line has been stuck in my head for so long, and i didnt know what song it came from. Thanks to you, google, and youtubes watched video history, i was able to find it after hours of looking.
I want nothing to do with "the crowd" of sheeple & their opinions either. Every day, I'm more alone.
Theme song for a superhero. Can't remember when even a gifted lyricist stopped me cold like this track did, faced with the density of the content and intensity of the delivery.
unbelievable, the lyrics are so fire!
It's 4 am and i can't stop watching Aespop Rock videos
This shit is so dope man. Can't wait til I get my copy of this album in the mail. Gonna blast this shit.
It's crazy now I'm high I understand this song.
I should've started listening to Aesop high a long time ago.
Aint nobody got this sound. Impossible to live up to the Impossible Kid that is Aesop Rock
PERSONA NON GRATA. God, I'm in love.
Never clicked on a video so quickly in my life
+a FREE LOBSTER DINNER I clicked the video so fast, I watched it before it was done uploading
Thats what the biggest vocabulary in music sounds like
I love you, Ian! 💖
After 20 years of ranking him in my top 3 I don't even have to work to get his meaning anymore. This song is awesome. Aes drops bombs on people in a polite manner and summons a dragon monster in case El-P's gun is real. hahhah
This dude deserves the title kanye constantly gives himself, yet anyone this good is too humble to ever be that selfish...
