Oh this is nice, not many people cover Aesop Rock so I'll stick around. I wouldn't mind seeing anything else but if you're taking some suggestions then here are mine. I see you did Kirby, it's part of an unofficial trilogy of sorts from Impossible Kid that goes Get out of the car -> Shrunk -> Kirby (kind of started at the end but no biggie haha, the first two are very good, especially the first) The whole album is pretty much Aesop's introspective journey of his return after dealing with some heavy baggage for a long time and everything from it is great (Blood sandwich, Dorks and Lazy eyes are also great from it). From the newest album Salt and pepper squid and Time moves differently here are a bit of another duo and they're very funny tracks and 100 feet tall is another track that takes me out every time (it's a bit of a niche within the niche but I just love Aes' comedy, one of the most brilliant examples of it Dog at the door from Spirit world field guide but it kind of requires the context of the album to really makes sense of both what it's about and where it comes in) All city nerve map and Bermuda are also fantastic tracks from ITS. And as for the classic Aes there's None shall pass, Pigs and Coffee. Can't go wrong with any of those. Either way whether it's any of these or something else all is welcome, just happy to see someone else enjoying Aes.
3:00 important: A lot of the lyrics will make more sense when you have nightlight right next to it, i do not know if i should put the lyrics from nightlight here. Anyway in my interpretation these 2 Lines are a direct reference to Sokrates and Platon Here it sounds a lot like the way Sokrates used to walk around the Town and asked people about their believes, and started to ask more and more argumentitive questions to find and or disrupt the source of their believes, often annoying people and angrying the higher class people. Resulting in him beeing executed. And here it does sound like aes comparing his way to sokrates way. I do know this maybe is a stretch but nightlight having the demons in basement, aes giving enlightement to cavemen reference to platons philosophy does make me intepret it this way Platon: We are all people trapped in a cave never seeing the real outside, only having demons above the wall use the light from the sun to make shadow plays, sowe do not know how the real stuffof everything really looks, and only philosophers are the ones brave enough and turn around to look at the world behind the shadow plays Also 15:35 "Watch red Bricks turn yellow" is i think a reference to his older song "one brick" from his labour day album And the "live is not a bi..." is an answer / front to Lil Wayne "Gonorrhea" where he had the line: "Life's a bit**, naw, better yet a dumb broad And I bet I can fu** the world and make it cum hard" edit:nvm a quickgoogle search showed me, that the lil wayne song came out 2010, so way later Wich also gets really important later, in nightlight where he flips that line again, and admits that highroading someone is making himself an A**hole
I think the Sokrates (your spelling is more accurate, I love it) reference is what he touched on saying "martyrdom". Aes knew he wasn't aiming for stardom, but being true to himself and his idea of art. Sacrificing an easy future to not sell out. Let's get him on Cycles to Gehenna.
While its not a new special lyrics, if anyone wants to feel some amazement i recomend the live performance of daylight/nightlight Because day/night have 80% of the lyrics the same, with jsut extremly smart changes that makes you feel like watching 2 sides of the same medal. In the live performance, aesop 1. takes the nighlight beat and jsut switches between the 2 versions constantly, like i think 8 bars nightlight, then 8 bars daylight and then after the chorus he does the same with the daylight beat, and the 2nd verse of daylight/nightlight Once i listen to what he says, with both genius pages open, i couldnt stop my mouth from gaping, for doing that insaneness.... live (so yeah big recomend for "evening light")
This beat was made by Aesop's friend and producer blockhead. The instrumental can be found on blockhead's album music by cave light, which, if you like this beat, you'll probably like the entire album, the album also has the instrumental for nightlight which now that you've done daylight you need to do
Writing Major assignment: A. Read Rudyard Kipling's poem "The Winners". (5 min.) B. React to Aesop's "Cycles to Gehenna". (Without video). Bonus points: A. Wikipedia search the Greek Fates. Learn their names and roles in the cosmic drama. B. React to Aesop's "Cycles to Gehenna". (With video).

Hey! That’s me!
And it happened; that’s the important part.
Oh this is nice, not many people cover Aesop Rock so I'll stick around.
I wouldn't mind seeing anything else but if you're taking some suggestions then here are mine.

Also 15:35 "Watch red Bricks turn yellow" is i think a reference to his older song "one brick" from his labour day album
And the "live is not a bi..." is an answer / front to Lil Wayne "Gonorrhea" where he had the line: "Life's a bit**, naw, better yet a dumb broad
And I bet I can fu** the world and make it cum hard"
edit:nvm a quickgoogle search showed me, that the lil wayne song came out 2010, so way later

Well now you HAVE to do "Nightlight"
cant do one without the other
