Appleseed was released in 1999 as a DIY project from Aesop Rock, only available as a CD directly from him for all these years. Now finally in 2021 it is available on all digital platforms, as well as on vinyl for the first time!
While Appleseed wasn’t Aesop’s first release, it was instrumental in leading his career in new directions and building his fanbase. To celebrate this seminal release, we asked Aesop some questions about what inspired him at the time, and the D.I.Y process used to create, promote and eventually plant the seed.

I love the depth and tone of his voice. Just even hearing him talk.
This
Yeah, I could listen to him talk all day.
Forreal
His voice has gotten better over time
I’d watch his face too.
when aes said he liked being around or near water but not in it, I felt that
Same same.
I wanna sea the ocean from the highest wave to bottom ground but, I don't wanna go down just to drown. I wanna talk with every fish in fishy tongues but I'm not gonna get a word out with the ocean in my lung. Who doesn't want to watch the waves tho
Yup
"Poetry is created at the edge of running water" irish proverb
Same
one of the last artists in a hyper commercialized medium and he says it at like 9:00 where he admits to "shooing away" a record deal meeting in favor of "getting props from people I also respected." out of everything you could paint positively about the dude this right here is what inspires me the most. He's done it all for the sake of facilitating a shared experience & not hoarding for personal gain he's showing you can still have an artist mentality in this thing and make it work.
Tis a gentle hand will rule the land
Can u pls just do behind the scenes vids like these for all your projects, could listen to you explain your stuff all day!!
Yes that'd be great
Can you imagine buying the legendary Appleseed EP from Aesop himself after a MF Doom show?
I got into Aes when I was in school just before The Impossible Kid came out and it's such a privilege to have so much amazing music to go back through. To this day my favourite artist who ever lived
truth frfr i remember hearing labor days when i was in high school... for the first time i understood hip hop.
@Shmavid Shmowie pretty much.
same here! I've since gone back through his discography and Float has to be one of my fav albums
@@BoolyThePirate I love Labor Days, and will always put Skelethon on cover to cover if I need to focus. Something about the way the intro to Leisureforce starts is relaxing and energising at the same time
@Shmavid Shmowie that was in 2010 soooo to you maybe to me no there was only a select few of us in the DOOM days back then.
We're all here desperately wanting to know the meaning behind Aes' metaphors... and Aes just being Aes like "ya IDK what I was thinking"
I even remember like 20 years ago in a post online he was basically saying he can’t explain a lot of the stuff he writes. I think some people picture him meticulously working on every line but I think the truth is he’s just naturally gifted.
@@MrElephantBeach I think that makes sense, it's like being knowledgeable or good at something and it comes naturally to you but you can't explain how. Especially when it comes to things that you're doing in the moment, sometimes it's impossible to reflect on what you were thinking afterwards since you were just acting naturally.
This album and Music For Earthworms were some of the most important albums I discovered in my late teens and early 20's. Along with Company Flow's- Funcrusher Plus and Cannibal Ox - The Cold Vein.
First album I ever heard from Aesop I was in my first year of Art College in 98 it was unlike anything I heard before, I've been bumping ace rizzle ever since..
Ace rizzle? Kmon man :p
@@jakejutras5420 he's referred to himself as Aes Rizzle a few times.
Who the fuck is Ace Rock?
He’s a living legend in my eyes. A true artist. What a gift this is, after all the years, all the music and memories, to be able to hear the story of the origins of his career.
“Hold The Cup” has been on repeat the last week or 2
Same! we are best pals!
Surreal track
aaaAAAAND the Saints go marching in.
But could you hold the cup while I pour?
Iiiim sorry
We’ve never met my name is driftwood
As a fan i dont see enough of this from aes im just happy to see him speak on old work and get his point of view.
I was born in 98 and now I’m a grown ass man. Crazy how long cats like aes have been making great music!
ikr! i was born in 2001, i cant believe hes been putting out records since before ive been alive!
This guy has put down more real lyrics on one album than most rappers today could put on 10
GOAT
I can listen to Aes talk about his work forever.
Hell, I’d listen to him read a McDonald’s menu.
Aes is a legend. The fact that he mentioned Saafir just shows how far reaching Saafir's talent was and it's sad he's kind of forgotten by most. Boxcar sessions a classic in the Bay. Much love to Aes. Greats recognize greats.
Saafir took a lot of life losses , couldn’t correct it. It is sad but I honestly believe he just gave up on himself from the despair.
Salute Saafir
Absolutly praying for an Aesop series of the What Had Happened Was podcast 🙌
He already did a podcast with open Mike eagle. But I know they’re friends so it’d be cool to see another one
What's the meaning behind these songs Aes? You know... I don't know...
"Thanks for nothing, asshole!"
-Note from the worm ("Blue in the Face")
Just kidding Aesop. Thanks for everything.
At 41 Years old, I just want to live long enough to hear a 20 minute doc for each of his albums
Original videos of Appleseed have
I haven't bought an Aesop album since the one that came with the booklet that had the lyrics. Appleseed through Daylight EP are my favorite Aesop joints. I'll always buy those.
1:28 and now we got "By The River" on the latest album
Appleseed hit my ears round 2011 and helped me define my college experience and my own approach to making music. Absolutely instrumental to my young adult years.
Aesop you got me into hip hop please keep spitting bars
Blue in the Face is still one of my all-time favorite songs
Appleseed is amazing I still listen to it at least once a week. God this takes me back. Tugboat Complex Series should have been it's own EP. It spans over various albums and most people don't even know it's a series.
aes rock mightve smoked one too many dimes in his time
Nah b that’s just him. You should see jay electronica speak... man kills it on the mic tho
@@hunterx5niper461 He has a line about this on I think one of the lice albums he says "Even if I'm Shakespeare on paper in person I'm Beavis" lol But thats one of the things I like about Aes he writes/raps some crazy complex shit but when you hear him talk he just seems like a normal dude.
Hearing about that A. S. R. 10 made hip hop heads slowly cry inside for what could've been
Did AES smoke his ASR 10? Hehe...
I know im not that funny.
Aes, thanks for the music, the memories, and the time dog. You’re the man. Thanks for recording this and sharing it.
It’s so weird how long he’s been in the game yet you compare him to long standing legends like Em or Wayne and he’s just so much more traditionalist. Truly a romantic writer by definition of the literary era
That’s that rhymesayers eloquence I guess haha
I always wondered if Eyedeas lyrics “end your career the way it started with a Big Bang “ and I couldn’t help thinking he was referring to Aesop’s song Big Bang ?
I’ve seen people mentioned this before but I doubt it’s the case. If that were the case Star Destroyers would be dissing ace and there is no reason to assume that is the case.
I believe the lyrics is simply meant to indicate that a lot of rappers of that time came out with a big hit but couldn’t make a real career out of it, you still see this today. It also plays obviously on the extended metaphor of the song being stars to rappers.
Right no reason other then that one bar .
Send your best MC's..... He'll return the mics lonely! #AESisGOAT
Is this a bar from a song of his
@@adeadlybeastkiller the original line is "You can send your fastest riders, he'll return the horses lonely"
from his song "Coffin Jump."
@@SuperSaiyanB thanks for the info
Love it! We need more of these Rhymesayers!
"I do enjoy water. Looking at it, I don't want to go near it". Fuckin wonderful
Float is #1 for me still. This was an enjoyable insight into a person who usually makes you decipher his thoughts.
Thanks Aesop Rock for allowing me to no longer have to steal this album... I listened to it legally for the first time this year
Those Vas and Eli and Apex days, man. Love this EP. Happy this is getting a vinyl release.
Aes been a fan forever!
Would love to hear more stuff like this, it gives more context to your personality.
Yes yes yes please I need Aesop rocks to just read me things and talk to me even be my navigational system in my gps
I can hear my Garmin now: "Circle 90 degrees deosil after a century's span o' stompers."
@@ju4408 I chuckled.
this album is still something I can lose myself in. Thank you aes
Thanks for the shout! Salute
This is so awesome, can we get a series of this for like an album or just random songs aes picks out?
Plus the way his voice sounds is just prime material stuff for this
This is great stuff love hearing him discuss his work!
Man this guy explaining that he didn’t pay attention to a deal is the icing of it all. I knew just with out him saying it for years that he enjoys doing him and him only and having no one fuck with his creative space from just keeping up with what he’s been putting out and seeing some of his interviews. Him making this work in his own station of his room really shows the work he put into it and the fact that whole project had no mixing done to it, I’m like really surprised because I thought it did. Out of the years of listening to this guy and hearing this ep here and there is amazing in how it sounds. Not to mention him explaining his equipment set up is really something to note because it shows you how put this together. Like other Artists around that time they used machines. And as easy as they made it sound it wasn’t at all. It shows how easy us artists with a daw and a computer today really have it. And even then we still don’t understand the gist what we’re doing because it’s so much that goes in depth. I really appreciate for him being him and the work in his craft that he’s been producing for soo long. Like really amazing all the work that went into this. Much love to this man.
Album changed my life. Thanks Aes.
This album was and still is dope level 1000.
The meaning and origins of Appleseed? Aes "I don't fucking know". Such endearing honesty. No bullshit ego whatsoever! Thank you so much for this Aes, was a fascinating listen. Thank you Rhymesayers.
what an amazing album thank you!
Ive been listening to appleseed 15 or so years now and its amazing hearing this thank you 🙏🏻
MY MAN.....I CAN LISTEN ALL GADAMN DAY TO THIS CAT....VERY ILL TALENT CAN'T SAY ENOUGH.
I've been waiting for this!
Extremely satisfied with this content as a long time fan of the work. Thank you :)
You Rock Aesop. Just love your music. Keep doing it.
beautiful pun
Dope to see how long he was able to last and still going. Just by being unique.
Appreciate your posting this. I was never the type of listener to ever go look up info about his life, so this was nice❤
What a wonderful man ♡
This made my day. Cant wait for my Appleseed copy!
Love this, and can't wait to get the Appleseed vinyl. Please also release Music for Earthworms on vinyl. Would also love to have Aes make more videos like this, heading the thought process behind the songs.
It’d be so sick to get a rerelease of Music For Earthworms and a similar video for it
Big Bang was the first song I ever heard of ace and I was hooked forever
For me it was Spare A Match.
Holy shit. I love aes and him giving some insight is like early christmas
I first bought apple seed in ‘02/‘03 I I was in middle school and this great hip hop head at the record store in town had a few copies up and I bought it.. “heard apple seed!” Then I was immediately hooked! Favorite rapper since.
1000 deaths is the bomb man, Aesop wins.
Thanks for this, Aes.
Love it!
I LOVE THIS.
This is awesome
Dope excellent
EPIC!
I could listen to him talk all day
cant wait to pull out asr 10 out of storage. did not know aes used asr10 from the get go. always loved blockhead production...
On Spotifyyyy let's get Appleseed #1
Tugboat complex is fun stuff. Cool to hear artists speak on the days of yore.
Let's go
This was cool.
Jesus Christ do I hope he does his whole catalogue.
great video.
More!
Aes, you are the man. Every track seems to be relatable, I’m not sure if it’s because most of your songs are rapid-fire and cover a variety of different subjects, or if I’m just a schizophrenic? Either way keep up the great work! Dearest regards..
You'd love Northern Michigan. Lots of lakes and rivers
Literally thought about putting an aes interview on while driving for work today, I was gonna go for the open mike eagle one.
That's a great one too
That is probably the best interview with Aes. Love Mike as well.
I've never soberly listen to a man wrap in acid trips wound in symmetries describe the concepts in their most asymmetric. I recently found spirit world field guide and your music and listening to the albums reverse chronological. I can't wait to hear this album at the begin of his time. Thank you Aes. I've never heard a track from you I don't like. And I bet when I do I'm still gonna love it.
You’re gonna find one you don’t like but still love it?
Usually you like best the things that are hard to take in. I dint likeAes but my homey said try again and he was correct.
Aesop the goat
I love AppleSeed!
Hell yea buddy
Good content
You're the best Aes. Did you make the cover for the Spirit world field guide album? I would love to buy that cover as a poster.
Keep doing you, best wishes
YES.
Back then when it dropped (again) I used the apple dead intro for my ring tone for years 😂
Best. lyricist. ever
Would be amazing if ace created his own podcast
YAAAAAAAAY
So funny, id go thru phases only listening to aesop, and id be on deep quests of understanding, and i had been comparing days w a walrus in my spine.. comparing days of getting clams.. u know, cash.. hustling... n e way, the whole float concept, tugboat, and all of aesops library up till that time, and so many of his imagery was verifying all these way out truths or views of the world i was understanding.. good sht. Music to quest with
I love this dude lmaooo
Aes needs a podcast asap
Aes needs a podcast aesop
Please come to salt lake on tour since you mentioned it in long legged Larry
I'm all for that!!
Yes!
Old digital recording workstations were fuggin cryptic, And none of them worked the same as any other
I have a sneaking suspicion he would be fucking great at ASMR…AESMR? 😜 This was very relaxing and interesting to listen to. 👍🏻
He went from one coast to the other....and he likes lakes and rivers more than the ocean?!
Pretty sure 1000 deaths was the first song I ever heard by Aesop. Still rock all his shit but nothing beats some good old tracks from late 90's early 00's
