wasn't a fan the first few times i heard it, didn't like Rob's voice at first but man this shit grew on me hard and i been bumping it like everyday for a month now lol
I don't know what the fuck these people are talking about down there, about being "disappointed" or whatever. This shit is solid gold. Thanks Rhymesayers, for putting this up. Pleasant surprise for the weekend. Good look!

OH HEY. HAPPY FRIDAY! We've decided to do a full album stream for *Hail Mary Mallon*'s *_Bestiary_* a few days before release. Enjoy! There's still time to take advantage of pre-orders and support: iTunes: bit.ly/iTunesBestiary Fifth Element: bit.ly/Bestiary Amazon.com: bit.ly/BestiaryAMZ
This album is bonkers. The production is so weird and funky in the best way and the lyrics drift in between poetic and just outright funny. Hip-Hop was great this year
AC inspires Aes is very much still active! Aside from releasing HMM's Bestiary and touring with Rob Sonic, he also recently collaborated with Grimace Federation on a couple of remixes for their upcoming 12", Measure In Mixture. bit.ly/MeasureInMixture
I havent taken it off repeat since it released. My phone is still playing it right now while i have atmosphere playing on my computer. Like its not even music anymore, its just fused into and become a part of my life, like the background soundtrack.
I've been an Aesop Rock fan for 6 years now and listened to all his work. This is hands down his best work. I would go as far as this might be the best underground/hip-hop album I've heard. Great job guys.
@@MarshallWolfMiller I couldn't choose. Tobacco's beats are just so wild. Acid King is straight from another dimension both instrumentally and lyrically.
This such a ridiculously awesome album. Been listening to Aesop for like fifteen years and he keeps getting better...every record he's on is better than the last. Now that Sean P passed, El-p and Aesop-affiliated music is the only hip-hop that I bother with anymore.
Aes and rob have this down to a science it seems. The most common chord progression in pop music never gets old here. Lyrics are consistently humorous, clever, and deep. Perfect delivery and syllable rhythms. Third listen front to back and still getting chills. Respect.
While the east and west coast rappers were fake stunting trying to be cool Ryhmesayers has built the dopest label on earth. Prof is on fire, Sa-Roc is a bad ass goddess, Aesop is in his own category lyrically, Brother Ali is a beast, Atmosphere is dope. I mean the list goes on and on. Thanks yall! Hip hop forever.
Literally listened to this for the 1000th time as I read your comment. My favorite is "back yard black marshmallows on his olive branch dressed up like an evil villain dressed up like a soccer dad"
This is one of the lyrics that made me believe Aes is the real Kurt Vonnegut of rap. "Turning goodbyes into good biology", "never let me die on a regular hill" and this right here is altogether some of the most quotable shit ever uttered.
Been bumping this constantly over the last few days, production is amazing, goes hard as fuck! Delivery is in the realm of the best and wittiest lyrics I've heard. Damn the flow on every beat is so on point, like tip on the razor kind of on point. Will Hail Mary Mallon ever take their fundraiser concert international?
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH really good album.
I couldn't believe this showed up in my email this morning, but it is my birthday so I'm not questioning it. Thanks RSE/Aesop. I'm happy to pay for this on Bandcamp or Amazon.
Hell Yeah, thanks Rhymesayers and Mallon! This albums is great and Aesop, Sonic and Wiz make such a great collaboration with beats, rhymes and scratching! Plus pizza and Donkey Kong! The only thing left to say is FUNDRAISER CONCERT!!!
Ok been listening for two days now, love the new album. Know who I slept on? Rob Sonic. Dude's dope, and what Aes and him have done here is pure food for hip hop's soul. Have to mention Wiz is on point as well. Can I pre-order the album after this one now :)??
@@cepukon I gotta say - the extra points farming doesn't make alotta sense to me. There's a time-bonus at the end of the level decreasing by 100 points every second. That means if you're not farming > 100 points/s, you're losing out on points. Counting over a 10 second period (-1000 from the bonus), I count him getting 700-800 points from jumping barrels, for a net gain of -200 points, and this doesn't count if you get bad RNG where DK just throws barrels straight to the bottom. So why does he do this at the end of every level? Am I missing something?
I'll give it a try, this albums got that street level, that hood level, that morning motivation level, that noon lunch break burn some herb level, that get me thru the motha fukn day level and the shit u wanna hear at the end of the day when u fukn level! Level I wanna b on n e how!
Aes.... I've valued you as a person, an artist, since jacksonville FL after years of identifying with a prior reddit AMA. After askin' you in jacksonville to respect my time of day. You done folded your arms, small venus
This album is an absolute classic. Unfortunately, it doesn't receive mainstream attention because of the different style, but Aes and Rob are some of the most skilled rhymers of all time.
Money in the motherfucking pot A castle full of cars and the yard full of yachts A leopard with a mink And an arm full of clocks All hand wound everyday by a Spock Get money
Thanks to Aesop Rock / rob sonic - MF doom - madlib. Keeping Hiphop real and alive. Unlike the shit they play on the radio. Commercialized crap. I was a teen in the mid 80s and 90s. Grew up durning best of hip hop. This new age indie hip hop artists bring me back to that time. And bring some serious dope ass beats and rhymes.
I don't really know how to describe Rob's style. Maybe stream of consciousness and a little surrealism? But he's brilliant and the whole project was. I praise Aes often. Rob deserves more love. Great fucking album.
"Drinking from the river until he returned three-eyed Speaking back to a Beefheart b-side" Is that a reference to Captain Beefheart? Lol Of course it is ;)
Aesop: Hey, good show man. Rob: Hey thanks man, you too. Listen uh, i gotta talk to you about something though. I've been crunching the numbers on the fundraiser concert. Aesop: All right. Rob: I got some good news and some bad news. Aesop: Give it to me. Rob: Well the good new is we raised $211. Aesop: Oh Dope! Rob: Uh huh. The bad new is, is that the bowling alley's been closed since 1995. Aesop: Huh... Rob: Yeah... Aesop: Hmm..., Hmm... FUNDRAISER CONCERT!!!!!!!!!
The whole album is fanfuckingtadtic I love some of the references like one eye closed like sandy Duncan ( most references are my childhood loves and good memories Hail Mary Mallon I love you I stumbled upon this gem 2 years ago and listen religiously It has helped me thru some awful shit that made 2020 look like a puppy and I share this album EVERY CHANCE I GET
I love love love this album. I make my peeps listen. No choice...my oldest daughter is my music buddy and years ago turned me on to atmosphere...well i got one on her....she loves this album now to..yaasss
Rhymesayers Entertainment Just saw HMM with DJ Abilities in Birmingham: Ultra Dope. I knew Aes and Rob would bring it, but DJ Abilities blew my mind. I wish I could have seen Eyedea and Abilities, but I was stoked for the Bestiary show to bring me as close as I'll ever get. Great Show, Give my props to Homeboy Sandman and DJ Sosa. That was my first time hearing their material, and they got the crowd going like no one else could have.
!! All Hail, Hail Mary Mallon !! The combination of Aesop Rock & Rob Sonic is out of this Galaxy!!! .. this is incredible!! PLEASE DO MORE MUSIC TOGETHER!! Also please come to South Africa!!
The bowling alley represents Hip Hop, and it closing represents Hollywood values ruining it. They spend the whole album doing a fundraiser concert, the same way they are building an underground Hip Hop movement, just to realize they raised just $211 and that it has been closed since 1995. Popular Hip Hop has been ruined since 1995. The $211 represents the small fan base they have. That seems far-fetched, but that's just my take.
It's just the fact it became mainstream because of the influx of money and people; like every damn great thing unchecked capitalism takes advantage of. I'd say the killings of Tupac and Biggie were far more costly, in terms of real cultural significance. P.S. I'm not anti-capitalism but I'm just acknowledging one of its faults.
ReppeNThA707 Exactly. Big money fucks everything up. It's happened with everything from boxing, with expensive ass PPV fights, to our congress getting lobbied by billionaires to pass shit bills.

Cant believe this comment is a year old
The recent comment is 2yrs ago, I cant still be the only still bumping and hoping a new CD spawns
A new Mallon seems unlikely. Aes's new album is alright though. A little too meta-textual for casual listening though.
*YOU CALL IT LOSING MY WAY I CALL IT LEVELING UP*
Jason Roggasch first i've heard losing my wife😀
This is one of the lyrics that made me believe Aes is the real Kurt Vonnegut of rap. "Turning goodbyes into good biology", "never let me die on a regular hill" and this right here is altogether some of the most quotable shit ever uttered.
I dont normally like rap but my late buddy fucking loved this album. It thumps.

Never realized how hard Donkey Kong was. This is impressive.
Especially the farming of extra points at the top of each level. I'd be hustling up that ladder asap

The bowling alley represents Hip Hop, and it closing represents Hollywood values ruining it. They spend the whole album doing a fundraiser concert, the same way they are building an underground Hip Hop movement, just to realize they raised just $211 and that it has been closed since 1995. Popular Hip Hop has been ruined since 1995. The $211 represents the small fan base they have. That seems far-fetched, but that's just my take.
Far-fetched is not right; perfectly propounded is more accurate.
Hip hop got fucked up in 1998 when Eminem came out it hasn't recovered since and won't till he's dead sorry Eminem fans it's a fact.
It's just the fact it became mainstream because of the influx of money and people; like every damn great thing unchecked capitalism takes advantage of.
I'd say the killings of Tupac and Biggie were far more costly, in terms of real cultural significance.
