What else should we react to? 🤔 Comment below! Also if you want to support the channel grab my limited edition white hats now!! www.knoxhillmusic.com/shop/chaos-kh-flex-fit-hat
Knox found Benzino ghost write ness Lee
Maybe you can react to one of the old schools such as Ice-T, Ice cube, 2PAC, Biggie, Nas, Method man, De La Soul, Snoop Dogg or Cypress Hill.
mgk - dont let me go
Knox, PLEASE give us a breakdown of Harry Mack’s newest single: “I Ain’t Gotta Worry” 🙏🫡
Eyedea and Abilities is great to react to. He's from Rhymesayers like Aes.
FINALLY a youtuber reacting to AESOP ROCK!!
Glad Knox did, can’t believe he’s been around since 1997 and this is the first time I’ve heard of him? Totally slept on this guy. Dam
@@misstlc3 Aesop has been criminally underrated for decades. I remember this song BLOWING MY MIND when I first heard it like 15 years ago lol
@@misstlc3 I've heard his name somewhere and it's bothering me, 'cause I can't remember where...
@@Zinetha are you thinking of A$AP Rocky?
@@paul_warner Could be? I haven't liked either of their songs on Spotify, though... I think someone online has probably mentioned one of them in some context and the name has stuck for some reason... 🤔
So glad you decided to release this on the main channel. Spread the love for Aesop Rock. Check out "rings" or "no regrets" next please
...the impossible kid is my fave AR album
wwwwhhhaaaatttt?! neither of those songs are in my Top 50 Aesop Tracks & THEY'RE BOTH OVERREACTED TO WHILE SOOOOO MANY OF AES' TRACK AREN'T. I'm just so stoked that you, Knox have Aes in your life!!! PLEASE CHOOSE A SONG RARELY REACTED TO (PLEASE PLEASE) like Big Bang or Fast Cars they're both in my top 10
I second Fast Cars. It has that old school feel to it, before the (insert producer’s name here) era became a trope
@@RavenousCatalyst594rings is so good though. speaking of big bang the entire float album is amazing
@@MrChoobsabre YEAH if only 1 thing could'v ever been man-made my vote's for Aes' album FLOAT . the Earth provides our NEEDS except Aes' Art. Ravenous Catalyst is from SICK FRIEND, "rock bottom packs a ravenous catalyst, sprung alacrative" OF COURSE I HAD TO LOOK UP ALACRATIVE= cheerful readiness, willing. lol Ok there ISN'T any other word he could'v used!! i'd never heard it so it was another Aes Hidden Treasure Hunt, on & poppin & worth it
Aesop has always been one of my favorite MCs
#1 lyricist of all time. Def react to more of him sir.
I wouldnt say #1 but definitely up there🗣️
@@Breizy-E
Fair... Who do you think is top dog?
@@inigomontoya4032 Ithink the best lyricists are Eminem, Nas, Blackthought, and Big L
@@Breizy-E
I can't disagree. I am a huge fan of all of them. When I was younger I got into more underground lyrics... So I found a joy in Aesop and even Eyedea. More of Eyedea's later stuff before he passed away. But Aesop still is the most "complex" lyricist with the largest vocabulary, but it's how he weaves his words that grasp me. Either way, I love your picks bc on a more mainstream level, you are correct. And Big L deserves more respect for how great he was... And I got love for the others you mentioned as well. Also... MF DOOOOOOOOOOM! LOL. Kudos friend!
@@inigomontoya4032 yea fr and btw have you heard the last emperor? He has hella creative songs
Aesop Rock is my favorite MC of all time.
Mee too😊
☝️
He's the actual GOAT and I don't say that lightly.
@@Ty91681 Agreed!
HOLY CRUD THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO AESOP MAN.
Dude aes is a fuckin wizard!! Glad to see him getting some love!
You have no idea how happy it makes me seeing Aesop get put on a bigger channel. Dude has been at it for years and is one of the best.
YESSS!!!! I’m so glad you’re getting into Aesop Rock!!!
Next up- Brother Ali, Atmosphere, and the rest of Rhymesayers
Don't forget Thirstin Howl III
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
I second this
Brother Ali - Uncle Sam Goddamn is a mind blower.
Aesop Rock - Dorks, Shrunk, Kirby, Fixed and Dilated, Button Masher, Kodokushi are all must listens
Lol i love how your list is 98% different than mine would be. Aesop is the goat.
My list would include Marble Cake, The Gates, Jumping Coffin, Jazz Hands, Kyanite Toothbrush, ZZZ Top, and Dorks. Pretty different again
Both of these list are straight 🔥
Daylight!!
Heeyyyyy Kirby!
Oh I caught this shit early af 😅 this song is incredible, every time I come back to it I hear something new in the bars
Best thing about aes! The mc that never stops giving. Each listen opens your eyes a bit more.
Yeah man. It's like a new adventure every time with an old companion on the same road.
Dude! His Labor Days album is Fire! I am soo glad you are jumping in, Aesop Rock is a true gem and needs more attention.
I'm so happy a bigger TH-camr is reacting to Aesop Rock. Your breakdown was actually really solid, and you're actually pretty bang on with the themes and metaphors. Such an incredible and unique artist in his deep layers of metaphor and mulit-syllable rhyme schemes. Hands down the greatest lyricist
Thank you Knox, I never heard of Aesop and now I am going down the rabbit hole! he is simply awesome.
how's it going so far?
@@DankDabster Thanks for asking DD, I'd say great, so far I haven't heard a single song I wouldn't like and I was able to "convert" at least one more person. "None shall pass" remains the song I listen to most often, with "Dryspell" becoming another favourite of mine. Oh and I love the "Aesop Bach" remix album by non-a.
Love Aesop Rock! I just figured the reason u haven't reacted to him is because u actually listen to him, and probably already know majority of his music! I would love more full breakdowns of his songs tho, cuz dude is a beast!! Loved this!!! ❤
Nah he absolutely ain't a listener or he would understand the lyrics from the start and understand aes isn't propping up Christianity by saying none shall pass
@@horse7406this guy seems to have no problem with Tom McDonald and Adam Calhoun.
So it's not likely that he's very well educated, or even a decent person, tbh
I'm actually astounded more people aren't talking about Aesop Rock. Dude is insane.
WOW!!! I have never heard him before BUT I Freaking LOVED this!!!! Thank you for spotlighting him so others like myself can seek out more of his work!🥰💝💖❤️🔥
This is why I love Knox! I would have never known about this music if it wasn't for you! I'm already looking for .ore of his music!
Awesome breakdown of an awesome song. It takes someone really knowledgeable like Knox to catch every aspect of Aesops writing.
So happy to see someone reacting to him!!! He's insane. Another one I like who is similar is R A The Rugged Man. Some of his bars are kinda crazy but others are often as deep and as meaningful as this. His verse on Uncommon Valor is regarded by some as one of the best verses in hip hop
RA the rugged? Lol white on white on white, huh? I give you Aesop. He’s great. But drop the RA nonsense. Roc Marciano is BETTER. Brownsville KA is BETTER! Billy Woods is BETTER! Danny Brown is BETTER! RAP Ferreira is BETTER! Lupe Fiasco is BETTER! Homeboy Sandman is BETTER!
@@dfwherbie8814lmao you think Danny brown is better your comment is a joke
@@dfwherbie8814must be a late April Fools' joke. You clearly haven't heard RA's more serious songs. Listen to Uncommon Valor. Listen to Angelic Boy. Listen to Wondering (How to Believe). Listen to First Born. Anyone who says Danny Brown is better than RA the Rugged Man has no leg to stand on
@@xkaylan1 Danny brown is a better rapper. You’re easily impressed with basic syllable connections and fast rhymes. Lol aww
@@dfwherbie8814 RA raps fast. Danny Brown raps like he's high on helium. No comparison. Plus it's more than just style. It's lyrics. RA's lyrics cover some very serious topics. Talk to me when Danny Brown writes a song about being a victim of the US in Vietnam. Talk to me when Danny Brown writes a song about a girl being unable to report an assault on her. Talk to me when Danny Brown writes a song about how his kids saved his life. I'll wait.
"Primate climb up a spine and attach" is just another way of saying the common phrase "monkey on his back." This is one of my favorite bars in the song because "something something monkey on his back" fits into the rhyme scheme and I feel that was what he originally wrote, but then being Aes he decided that wasn't weird/obscure enough so he changed it lol
This man doesn't have a bad song, not even in his colabs. He's a poetic genius. Definitely one of those types where your favorite Aesop Rock song is the one you're currently listening to, though I do have a particular fondness for the Spirit World Field Guide album. His catelog is greatness. Check out his colabs with Sandman (Lice) and his colab with Kimya Dawson (The Uncluded).
The Uncluded!!! one of my personal guilty pleasures!! i was also already a Kimya Dawson fan, who ironically is a fantastic and underrated songwriter in her right, prior to the collab... So when this shit dropped it was just pure joy!!
Yesss, thank you so much for this! As someone who's not a native speaker and doesn't always catch different idioms or references, this was very interesting to me!
Aesop is one of the greatest poets to ever touch a pen. He's also the goat at this point. Nobody else in hip hop has a catalog as dense or as flawless as he does. His production talents are also incredibly underrated. Even his collabs are solid gold. Dude is a genius.
Dope work, bro. Excellent dissection. Props for the shoutout of the Zeitgeist film 👌🏻💯🔥👏🏻
I've been a fan since 11th grade. I'm 39 years old now. He's one of my favorite emcees.
Lets go! Aesop Rock is fire.
Great breakdown guy! If I were not a fan already, you'd have sold me on some Aesop listening sessions. You know your s$$t.
I'm so glad this dude gets exposure, I do sincerely believe the world would have better overall standards if more people paid attention to his art.
Finally. Do Water Tower, Gopher Guts, Jumping Coffin, 39 thieves, Kyanite Toothpick, Mindful Solutionism, Pass the Cup, Sick Friend, Homemade Mummy, Food Clothes Medicine, 9-5ers anthem. So many worth listening to.
Also his side project with Rob Sonic, Hail Mary Mallon.
all good suggestions, ( i second all of them ), he actually did gopher guts, its just on his patreon still. im waiting for when he opens it to the public, i enjoyed his take on it.
I appreciate how in depth you go into his lyrics. You should react to his three song story line inside the impossible kid album. "Get out the car" first, then "Shrunk", and ending with "Kirby"
Get out the car makes me cry every time
YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!! I’M SO HAPPY!!!!😊
I can rap this whole tune, he’s become my absolute favorite to listen to
My don, your attaching today's sensibilities to something spawned in 07. He raps Nostradamus unintentionally. He's a rap genius unequivocally. Aesop Rock's!!!!!!
Bro you actually killed it..as a 20 year + fan... do more, many more.
Been watching your videos for a long time but the Aes reaction finally gets the sub
Finally... I been messaging you Aesop for a minute now.
I just did that too. Like a week ago. This is dope
Lol same. Aesop is the goat
I have been an Aesop Rock fan for years. Everyone in Rhyme Sayers is dope. Daylight and Flash Flood are like my anthems.
Clever, clever, clever. And very helpful break down. Thanks.
Thank you!
😭😭😭, finally you did it
haha there you are 😂 your wet dream 😫💦
Aesop Rock is the final boss for bar breakdowns
We need more Knox breakdowns of Aes. Too many songs to choose from, throw a dart at a track list and let's go!
Hope to see more Aesop and Rhymesayers on the channel
Over a million subs and 15k views after 9 days. Its so sad how people refuse to click on something thats not familiar to them. They like what the radio plays cuz they only listen to whats pushed to them, but they wont check out something new and form their own opinions. Aesop deserves so much more recognition
i agree, aes is master class and people either think "oh, ive never heard him before so forget it." or "i dont care for asap rocky" without giving it a chance. but also people cant wrap their domes over his style and give up trying to understand it. when even just listening to his cadence and schemes is plenty for the "lazy listener." the complexity of his flow is on par with his writing. he definitely needs more attention then he gets.
I'm so happy aesop being on the radar. Nickel plated pockets is one of my favourites or nine to fivers has some good symbolisms
FINALLY you visit the GOAT of the underground. He has been the soundtrack of my life for decades :)
I get the feel "Non shall pass" is the black knight in Holy Grail
Finally, some Aesop!!
I’m pretty sure I told you to check him out a year ago. Glad you finally made it here
I could listen to you dissect aesop albums at a time bro! Please keep em coming! 💯
I’ve been interpreting his work for years! Excellent job bro!
This is the kind of breakdown I wish more people would do with Aesop. I'd love to see one for Cycles to Gehenna or Daylight.
Oh Yeah, getting into that Aesop hole, pause. He is one of my favorite artists around.
There’s not another poet in Hip Hop like Aesop. A real genius
I have requested Aesop so many times. How did I miss this from Knox.
Aesop, Eyedea and Slug were my introduction to rap so happy to see you react to this!
About time! Been waiting for you to do an Aesop reaction for YEAR'S. Ashamed I'm just now finding this. Aesop Rock is my most favorite MC of ALL TIME
Damn Knox! This video could be a thesis: Aesop Rock’s Metaphorical Approach to Social Commentary
Well done man. Aes typically does all his own product as well. Beats, art, visuals and stuff. Don’t know how I missed this break down as I recommended aes after hearing you mention him and El-p during that mgk, Harlow beef, but thank you for finally dipping your foot into the vast ocean that is Aesop Rock. I know that dude doesn’t care about numbers, money and that stuff, but my goodness, I just wish he would get his flowers before it’s too late. You my friend now have that power with this platform you’ve built over your tenor to help artist get that level of recognition, so in that respect and many more you are the man Knox💪🏼
Bro ive been watching a bunch of reaction videos to Aesop and youre def one of the best! Able to dive deep and analyze is dope. Would love to see more.
I discovered aesop back in collage about 10 years ago. Still an avid listener. Love your channel and live to see you reacting to aes!
What a comprehensive breakdown. Thanks for reacting to a favorite of mine. Your analysis was thorough and constructive. Also, when someone rhymes vowel sounds, or at least perceived vowel sounds, that's called assonance. Aesop does that a lot. I believe it's why I looked up the term way back when.
More Aesop Rock, please! Thank you for cracking into this. Would so love more of your takes on his works.
My favorite Knox Hill reaction ever. I really hope you’ll do more Aes Rock, man.
Aesop Rock, Slug/Atmosphere, and Sage Francis are some of my favorite lyricists ever. I'm glad someone is finally giving this kind of rap some love.
Oh finally more people are reacting to Aesop. Glad to see you going in
Bout time! You are about to dive into sinkhole of Aesop music. Need to look more into his current album ITS
Beautiful breakdown of one, if not ,the most artistic lyricist of our day. Loved your take on it. Great work !! Not many would even risk dissecting this masterpiece. Huge props.
"With a cane to the sky like 'none shall pass'". This does indeed refer to Gandalf, but it is also the literal line the black knight said in Monty Python and The Holy Grail.
You should check out Aesop’s new album- Integrated Tech Solutions. The single Mindful Solutionism is wild
Aesop rock is my favorite artist . I really appreciate you reacting to his music . I'd love to see your reaction on two of his tracks, Dorks and Klutz
AESOP ROCK been in my top 5 for 15+ years ☄️
Dope breakdown! Absolutely need Rings on this channel.
please do his song Daylight. Would love your take on it lovec from sweden
"Life's not a bitch, life's a beautiful woman..."
@@Fluffyninja7 that's a bar
@@LukeTheSchoolBoyDuh ...from Daylight.
...Luke
"Life's not a bitch, it's a beeyotch who keeps the villagers out circling the marketplace looking for the g-spot".
Nightlight by Aesop.
I love them both, nightlight hits harder.
Impossible Kid, Acid King, his new album all amazing!
damn, that analysis was spot on man. Took me probably 100 listens of this song before I started to understand what he was talking about.
I’d love for Aes to ghost write a diss and leave everyone wondering what’s going on afterwards
I’d like to see you also ready to Roc Marciano, Ka, billy woods, Homeboy Sandman, RAP Ferreira, etc.
Fun fact: Zeitgeist is German and literally translates to "time spirit/ghost" (appropriate since zeitgeist means spirit of the times)
Gauze next! This was so fun to watch.
This is the best breakdown of an Aes song I've ever seen, subbed, do more
I was driving the other day, and I was thinking how you would dissect Aesop Rock, and here we are!
Finally Knox, i been waiting for you to react to Aes
yes finally someone showing Aesop some love!
First video of yours I’ve seen and i clicked because i fucking love Aesop. Dude your knowledge is impressive. Don’t expect most to catch the snake river canyon ref 😂
Love seeing you pick apart Aesop. "Dorks" would be a good next one for you.
Alsop Rock definitely underground/underrated artist. His beats and flows are so different from anything being made
For you to say this being a student of rap, says alot!
Any honest student of rap would give Aesop props, he's just spec!al like that.
Happy to see Aesop reaction! Nice!
Aesop is also a master storyteller. Based on true stories:
Ruby '81 (Perfection)
Agressive Steven
100 feet tall
TV on 10 (The Uncluded)
Walk Like Thunder (Aesop Rock and Kimya Dawson version)
"Blood turns wine when it leaks for police like that's not a riot its a feast let's eat" goes so hard
Love aesop rock, would love to see you do "coffee" or "gauze"
Aesop Rock is actually so underrated. He has the most unique words in his first 35000 lyrics out of a whole load of rappers, probably all rappers. For those wondering he was rapping when Asap Rocky was like 3 years old so didn't copy his name lol
Aesop Rock will blow your mind. His old stuff is so layered and dense, but as he's aged i feel like he's refined his art so well. Check out Jazz Hands from Garbology (2021), which is still as metaphoric and abstract, but feels like a far more polished track than his mid-90s released.
There's a bunch of common themes throughout each of his albums, too. Anti-capitalism, anti-authoritarianism and of course his cat Kirby.
Wow! This guy's flow is like nothing I've heard before
Aesop is goated. All his work is fantastic. Forsure have to sit down and think about what he is saying.
Impossible kid is a great album
How long it's been since an Aesop reaction popped up in my recommendations
Finally bro keep more aesop rock coming
AGGRESSIVE STEVEN needs to be reacted to. The lyricism is absolutely top.
holy shit dude i love that you did this, its what introduced me to aesop and still the only one ive head but this one has been my jam for years
I come from the same place. This song was in my head for years, then The Impossible Kid is what got me ADDICTED.
BENZINO STUDIO FOOTAGE IS GETTING LEAKED KNOX!!!
Lol yeah, I was just thinking I wonder if Cliff let him know about it before sharing it on youtube
I’m pretty sure he’s aware just hadn’t posted it yet
Yeah if someone comes with 20k to buy it.
Jayblac says the man in the chair is Ness Lee.
And who is going to pay the 20k?
He's number one or two for having the highest lyrical density out of all rappers (famous ones at least).
YOOOOOOOOOO aesop is dope!!! Love to see this reaction!
