It's 2025 always loved aesop rock but never heard this album ive been listening to it the last couple weeks, it's awesome work never listened to the last 30 seconds until today, legendary work 👏
@@josht9518 It's kinda great that Wu is considered basic now. People thought it was weird when I was growing up, now it's totally normal. That feels pretty good.
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!
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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!!!
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
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.
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.
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"
!! 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!!
Aes cannot disappoint. Rob is dope as well.This 2nd HMM album is awesome as you can put in a playlist with the first album and shuffle it all up, and it all goes together fine
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?
Man, even though I picked this up on Bandcamp I appreciate the stream on here, helps to show it off to friends. This is one of my favorites, Aesop and Rob are awesome. Keep up the great work you two :)
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
fun fact: the amazing jonathan was a comedian. His act was he would do magic tricks like a normal magician that would go horribly wrong because he's the amazing jonathan
Thank you guys so much for releasing this early. This was the greatest surprise I could have hoped for today--I felt like complete shit until I saw this in my subscriptions. Fucking ill record. Love it.
I've listened to the whole thing like 10 times now and it's actually grown on me. Don't know why but I love it even more now. It just flows so hard I almost feel the urge to head bang. I can't listen to it in class because even if my headphones are concealed I'll be moving to it. Jonathan, Krill, Picture Day, Kiln, King Cone, and The Red List are especially brilliant. Also love the whole fundraiser concert thing, which, correct me if I'm wrong, is supposed to represent hip hop. Nice touch. "We raised $211" "Oh dope" "and the bad news is the bowling alley's been closed since 1995" "Huh..." Cracked me up.
@@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?
flawless playing on that classic donkey kong. really diggin aesop's production. fun album, will rip! then look under various couches for change to purchase the lp.
Lol! I thought this was new for like 2 weeks. Then I looked & realized I'm so out of the loop. Regardless, I am addicted and now know every word. So amazing!
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 think its time we have a fund raiser concert to bring Hail Mary Mallon back
FUNDRAISER CONCERT!
I want a third album, THIS SHIT IS STRAIGHT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@niko1even You mean third.
@@Kat-kg6hd oh my bad. Yeah i forgot about the other one. I’ve just been listening to this one so much

"Not sayin nuthin like an Amish station" Every new listen, something blows my mind
''Only Mallon can save this city from economic ruin.''
Jonathan is probably one of the best opening songs ever, with one of the best opening lines ever as well.

Music is lit as hell, but who the hell is raging through donkey kong like an absolute savage?
My favorite album. Period. 5 years and counting.
Is it weird that this is my favorite Album? From beats to flow to lyrics I have been in love with this album since it came out years ago.
Not at all. It has to be a top 10 for anyone with ears. I don’t know about those ear-not-having folks, but us with ears hear it!
Why would it be weird. If you like it you like it.
Underground Masterclass.
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
Nope. It's mine as well. It never fails the first half is utter sorcery.
At least seven years since I first heard this and the end of the fundraiser concert stuff still makes me smile.

What’s better now? This or Malibu Ken?
@@MarshallWolfMiller Still this
Ugh
fully agree bro! havent heard all of his work but i keep coming back to this one!
@@MarshallWolfMiller I couldn't choose. Tobacco's beats are just so wild. Acid King is straight from another dimension both instrumentally and lyrically.
This shit is insane. That wordplay. Thank you for keeping hip hop alive.
I came here through Spirit World and I stayed.
Why is this so good?
One of the greatest duos. Ever. They flow off each other with perfection.
How am I just finding this? What a great album. Make more of this. Those two dudes are good together
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.
The hypest Donkey Kong gameplay video ever
You're so right Big Boss
Gotta fistful of quarters and a past due order.
how high can YOU get?
The Greatest Donkey Kong victory in history
"A dead Kennedy is a heathens hammer"
One of the greatest things I've ever heard.
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.
I just gotta point out, my man is killing it on the Donkey Kong. Plenty of 1 or 2 frame jumps.
I was enlightened last night and this really sounded great. I'm checking back and I was not deceived.
yo, i bought this album, yo. I don't buy much music these days, but I show my love and support for this level of madness.
The same, first album I bought in years, the spirit world is dope asfuck as well
YO thats dope yo
Whales is a song I've been waiting for Mallon to make my whole life. I'm glad it's finally here.
I can't stop knocking that shit...it goes hard
Yuuuup! Love it.
Money in the motherfucking pot

How did Aes and Rob Sonic get even more fire with age? This is way better than I was even beginning to expect. Sorry for doubting two great's.
+Dylan Grabowski Yeah, and knew song Rings sounds even better. It´s fucking crazy with Aesop
Aes and specifically Rob, have the greatest multisyllabic rhymes I've ever heard.
Aes just gets better as time pass. Its unreal how consistent he have been for 2 decades
Been here since it was float and I’m still here
So happy I know about this band?? The odd part about this album for me as I heard it over and over and it just gets better with each time you listen
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.
Fucking WORD
and then the nerd woke up
Evidence as well... They have a roster better than any mainstream
Saw a thing online that said Aesop has a larger vocabulary than Shakespeare.
A friend just recommended. love it. Saw Aesop Rock and Rob Sonic in Edinburgh Voodoo Rooms around 12 years ago. Fantastic show. Superb Hip Hop
Turn a Snow-Globe into a Lava-Lamp
i haven't stopped listening to this since you guys posted it. getting that vinyl for sure.
FUNDRAISER CONCERT!
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!!!
This is without a doubt one of the best rap albums I've heard in a long time.
The story had me on the edge of my seat the whole time and that final twist at the end really shook everything
I love how this is pretty much a couple dudes from New York just fucking around and coming up with something absurdly excellent.
Still my favorite hiphop album of all time. Seen it live twice now and I'd see it a hundred more times.
This made my day. I woke up, made coffee and half asleep checked my subs to find this gem. Thanks Ian and Rob, bought the CD. Love y'all.
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
Following him from the Anticon days, I really love reading the comments about people just discovering Aes...but you'll never find all the releases.
The whole album was worth the listen. What a treat. Instant Fan
You should check out Appleseed or something like that by Aesop
You call it losing my wife…..I call it leveling up.
Thanks Aes
Is that what he said? Or is my german sense of humor showing
@@Melinmingle yeah he said that and you're still German

2021.
This is what i needed.
*cha-ching* bought a copy for my listening pleasure.
I put headphones on to listen to this album. I was supposed to eat dinner an hour ago. FUCK this albums incredible.
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.
Nice surprise in my email this morning thanks ! About to send some smoke up while I listen to this gem.
I can't get enough of Picture Day. What a bassline.
every time I listen to this it gets better.
I dont normally like rap but my late buddy fucking loved this album. It thumps.

4AM Is definitely my favourite.
The most beautiful ode to dying alone and destitute I've ever heard.

Dollywood is high key one of the greatest things I've heard in a very long time.
Right? Love the funky time signature.
How did I miss this!?!? Love me some Aesop and Rob!

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
@@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.

So why does he do this at the end of every level? Am I missing something?
To me Aes always shines in a collab, you can appreciate his punchy style when you contrast him against someone syrupy like Rob or Homeboy Sand

Such an Epic Album and by two of my favorite artists. This is legendary. Aesop Rock & Rob Sonic just bedazzled me...I have no words.
