Aesop Rock interview with David Farrier

[SewermanXol]

Must not sleep, Must warn others -Invasion of the Body Snatchers

[iArt1st]

"must not sleep" "must warn others" i heard that somewhere but i forget where -____-

[ByronMan17]

@iArt1st Antisocial

[wowerz82]

wasn't there a better place to give the interview? lame

[Ch3sterB]

@1nqual In other words: reminding him to make music.

[americannable]

hows it smell outside that mens room? i dunno maybe thats your thing though

[IslamIstheWayforMe]

@1nqual

yeah man fuck him, i told him to fuck off. as a muslim, i got you =)

[MrIsuckBIGTIME]

@1nqual dude shut the fuck up. he was baked, off marijuana for your christian imprisoned ass.

[IslamIstheWayforMe]

@MrIsuckBIGTIME

Yeah really calm down with that. hip hop is about freedom, equality, the right to believe what you believe and you go and say that. shut up, really

[TheMotiveMedia]

he "intercepted" coming out of the bathroom?

[Answ3rlol]

@1nqual making music is his way of speaking his point of view.. so therefore they mean the same thing

[SuperIkoHam]

You guys hardy even understand his music. Then you guys use the excuse "Thats what makes Aesop him" or "you're suppose to decipher it". Yet Lil wayne sounds like shit and can't understand his music and you guys call him a faggot. Everyone please tell me what the song "Frijoles" Means and "Float" stands for. And give it to me quick. Don't wait for weeks to respond faggots.

[bassplaya614]

@SuperIkoHam *hardly. Oh and periods go inside quotation marks. Oh and Lil Wayne can't understand Lil Wayne's music? It's a pity making music you don't understand.

[SuperIkoHam]

@bassplaya614 No tell me what te song of aesop "Frijoles" means please. Because all the time i constantly hear people syaing "Lil wayne sounds like shit. He spits out stupid shit i can't understand." But i always hear that Aesop is so ill! Tell me bro! What is so ill i want to know! Please tell me what the song Frijoles means now. Oh yeah nevermind.. You don't know. You are in the trend,

[bassplaya614]

@SuperIkoHam You fixed the quotation marks! Almost there. Remember, always end your sentences with periods, not commas. Close though! Your argument is almost well written enough to be considered! Always remember though, keep an eye out for typos. They can be debilitating to your writing.

[SuperIkoHam]

@bassplaya614 Chill the fuck out, before you start to comment on Aesop's run-on sentences.

[bassplaya614]

@SuperIkoHam ;)

[bwade88]

@bassplaya614 lol your a joke, no one considers your opinion, you are fucking clown shoes

[bassplaya614]

@bwade88 Fucking clown shoes? You, sir, may have the weirdest fetish I have ever encountered.

[GlobberThree000]

Underground 4 life

[djdomcorn]

hes amazing, what are people on radio one in england thinking put aesop rock, cage, el-p, matt maddox, ill bill, necro, vinnie paz, yak ballz, slaine, apathy on radio one so much better then all this pop shit

[SpectralFire]

I get the impression that this guy is big in Australia, is that right? In the US he is strictly underground.

[tubenick66]

@SpectralFire Haha, I think you mean big in New Zealand man. But no, not that big here (don't get me wrong he should be). I don't think I've ever heard anyone from Def Jux on the radio. David Farrier just likes to pretend he's cool by pushing non mainstream music or being the first one in the know.

[DavidMihaelovich]

Oh my gosh, just shut the fuck up and stop arguing. First time I heard him at age 11 I didn't understand a fucking word he was saying, by age 15 I became well read and now I can understand most of what he's trying to express.

[ja13sherman]

@ american devil

One of four. The realest track put down. Ian is not scared to talk about our vulnerabilities which sets him aside from mainstream artists. 9-5rs anthem is a call to arms for us worker bees. That is the kind of thing the common man can relate to, not 22 inch rims and blasting on fools. You are kind of bullshit, what I speak is real. Have a good day sir

[AmericaDevil]

This guy is kind of bullshit, but his music is decent.

[JunkCCCP]

Aesop looks permanently wired, his eyes are so creepy.

But he's a great musician...

[johnkubik]

is that brett from Flight of the Concord!?!?!?

[groalerable]

"breaking the stereotype of what hip hop is about"

what a fucking idiot..

[m3ntoZ]

@groalerable How is he an idiot for that? Most people who don't know hip-hop think it's just bitches, money, weed, and cars. I don't hear Aesop talkin about filet mignon'n pussy. He's got a unique style which is trying to break the stereotype of modern day hip-hop.

[groalerable]

@m3ntoZ

no the reporter.

it's not the topic that matters.

a lot of aesop rock songs aren't trying to be deep.

on bazooka tooth, one song is about lsd,one is about guns,one is about prison, and the rest are about how cool he is.

and that's fine.

it's not about a "message."

and a lot of aesop rock fans aren't hip hop fans and don't really understand.

[hockey91ninjawarrior]

@groalerable so your saying you got aesop rock figured out?

[groalerable]

@hockey91ninjawarrior

yes.

[hockey91ninjawarrior]

@groalerable hahaha that's rich my boy, you might want to seriously re-evaluate your perception o this genious. The only people who claim to have aesop figured out, are the ones who hate his new style of hip hop because they don't his complexity. You might want to lay off on the aes rock interviews. Might I suggest lil wayne or jay z, you know someone on your reading level.

[groalerable]

@hockey91ninjawarrior

he said himself. "you'd have to be an idiot to not at least grasp a few things from these songs."

[hockey91ninjawarrior]

@groalerable Right, I never stated that one couldn't grasp anything. But to claim to have figured aes out and understand everything is bullshit.

[groalerable]

@hockey91ninjawarrior

i understand his flow, and i understand his rhyme structure and his punchlines and what he's talking about in a phrase. and he's not trying to be overly philosophical most of the time.

[vincentBurden]

He seems real down to Earth. Nice change for the Hip Hop comm.

[nickthegreat700]

wow looks like aesop is blowing up......there goes another rapper down.

[danske91]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOO!! AR was in sydney and i missed him :( so sad right now.

[UnitedDiscord]

Dear Li'l Wayne, this is an artist. Take a look and learn. Thanks. - UD

[cry12344]

does anyone els notice that aesop rock kinda looks like ra the rugged man.

[Ih8thePolice]

@cry12344 Is that a jew joke?

[Ih8thePolice]

@cry12344 Is that a jew joke?

[nemesis700]

revolutionary? how extreme can you be? aesop aint the only underground hip hop artist

[siyjef]

@nemesis700 i was thinking the same thing

[flaminggonzo]

this guy is the truth! alot of people say Eminem is the best rapper out there, but thats cuz they havent heard Aesop Rock. Im not saying he is the best, but he can Lyrically beat Em to a pulp. Em is dope to and Im a huge fan but Im sick and tired of people saying he is the best. Cuz there is no best dead or alive, PERIOD!

[FlabbyDwarf]

@flaminggonzo eminem is way overated ha

[MAJESTYOFFICIAL]

@flaminggonzo i doubt that,Aesop ain't the battle type,no sting,Eminem would smash him.

[fatmerktv]

nice.

[matthewjvids]

her accent is painfull

[j0en]

Best "fuck you" lyric by Aes:

"You're a fuckin wind-up toy

A goddamn four string criminal trading card

The reason they decorate the fontt of closing credits

To boost on-looker amusement after fading hard"

[antmanmax1]

@j0en

"Life's not a bitch, life is a beautiful woman

You only call her a bitch because she won't let you get that pussy"

[sk8adio42]

@antmanmax1 "Life's not a bitch life is biotch who keeps the villagers circling the marketplace out searching for the g-spot."

[mikeharris4893]

he is a gentleman.

[lostlonesomeblues]

He is badass

[iiNDiTC]

AESOP ROX

[crunky565677]

if anything you listen to cannibus FIRST when you are young...and you mature to AESOP

[tonyf686]

aesop, in my opinion makes my top 3 for sure, as far as a new sound and re-play value he def. takes it

[BoOsTFeRLiFeSRT4DSM]

aesop is a pure genius

[ZoeMyJesus]

They are 100% different. From style to lyrical content.

[xRIKTERx]

nerds LOVE canibus too....both are dope to me...i listen to more aesop tho...

[Dtchmastrkilla7]

david farrier THREE NEWS

[drodude301]

what's funny is that he said 'fuck you' more than any other rapper in a news interview ever. that's slick.

[WolfataDoor]

Lol I always thought Aesop was black.

[liquid1122]

Cannibus would've been huge if he wasn't always in battle mode. He screams battle rhymes, then when he tries to be sensitive or un-battle like, his voice is still screaming at you.

[RealHipHopTunes]

yeah but somehow we get use to it tho

[d2thh725]

@liquid1122 he doesnt rap sensitive

[jkidder01]

your the first person ive met to think canibus isnt lyrical. and i dont respect that

[JSuelto1]

Canibus >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Aesop rock

[jkidder01]

"hip-hop has never been the same, since 88

since it became a lucrative profession, it's a misconception

that a movement in any direction is progression"

- Canibus

[TheConstant1]

ya, too bad canibus only has one song, he isn't in the same league as aesop

[jkidder01]

lmao you my friend are not a hip hop fan if you think canibus only has one good song.

i put the above quote because aesop mentioned 88 as the end as well.

[IAMELECTROBOYYY]

Canibus is nothing compared to Aesop. Aesop doesn't think Wikipedia and a thesaurus make a good MC.

[jkidder01]

research time signature. learn something about rhyming...

[IAMELECTROBOYYY]

ha, you think patronisation will work?

My criticism of Canibus was lyrical not his flow.

learn something about English.

[420bongweed]

aes riggity rock!!!! this dude iz DOPE

[twojake]

lol its not just a flimsy fuck you

[acortez48]

"I'm down for fucking"

[Loco801]

he said, "I'm down for fuck you"

[acortez48]

oh, ahahha

[dblay3]

aesop sounds "original"

[Isamright33]

go fuck yoruself he sound sbetter htan that asshole.

[Glitch667]

I love how you can listen to Aesop Rock as many times as you want,and notice something different every time.

[RuggedObscure]

lol he seriously needs a haircut

[Isamright33]

fuck off hater, let him be who he is.

[RuggedObscure]

lmfao you're calling me a hater?? XD you're such a fag. get off his dick. I don't think saying somebody needs a haircut is aggressive or hate. douche bag.

[Isamright33]

get off his dig? Fuck you, it's about time someone did something good wtih rap, this is the best rap ever, objectively speaking, it is some of the greatest art to come out of our generation....it has nothing ot do with him, it has to do with what he made, when people say they like pablo picaso, they mean his paintings you dumb fuck.

[RuggedObscure]

lmfao... dude calm the fuck down... all I said is that he has a lot of fucking hair. Don't try to start writing some speech here. I never even insulted him. Maybe you're going through some difficult pms time but try to keep your pants on.

[Isamright33]

now.....liking little wayne, that's sucking some dick, or even kanye west and common, they both suck rap about played out shit, boring boring boring....rap for 12 year old boys and 16 year old girls, now whose sucking dick? Thge person who loves the miracle, or the person who milks the led into a miracle even though its just a piece of led? Your the cock sucker my friend, stop projecting.

[RuggedObscure]

i don't believe that he doesn't give many interviews, I've seen plenty

[Innacut]

nice this was added on my bday! aesop is the man

[moptopskate]

Aesop Rock is amazing! Definitely not your average rapper. He has always stayed true to his work and is insanely smart.

[coldrockdaspot]

nice work David, Aes is a true legend, I met him once and he was down to earth as...he does need a haircut though.

[frankyrocksmyrocks]

thank you for posting. excellent.
