@mik0logy When most people talk about 'real' hip-hop, they are talking about a certain kind of style and spirit to the music. The kind of artistic soul some of the originators had therefore in a lot of people's minds making it more 'real' or 'true' to the vibe of what hip-hop used to be about. That's not really an opinion, more of an observation of modern trends.
@FengShuicide well music evolves all the time, is it just supposed to stay the same like it is when it first starts? the music would get boring if it did that.
the funny thing is that this guy is white same as EL-P , blame one or immortal techniqe and they do much better music than most of all thoses bitch ass niggaz out there im not a racist im black
i wish people would stop talking about rap like its a competition to know sick emcees the mc makes music for themselves we listen to it love it and study it if we are mcs or musicians ourselves other then that just listen to the message and hip hop is about blending its kind of like how America was a melting pot that's hip hop
@Whitewidow440 Ok, I'm tired of you jackasses. Read the original argument. A 15yr old kid was trying to give us all a lesson on hip-hop. I don't give a shit if you're 9 don't try and act high and mighty. Jesus Christ what is with dumbass commenters who don't even know what the argument was and then try to intervene. So yeah I don't give a shit what age you are, pat yourself on the back then move on.
@Whitewidow440 i never really got into tribe but i been listening to immortal technique for several years. might i mind you i don't only listen to this type of music. screaming and punching my fist through walls type of music is my favorite. i dig all of this thoguh.
it's nice to see young kids rockin the aesop rock instead of mainsteam garbage but can you all shut the fuck up trying to back up your hip hop rep. goddamn your worse than kids who listen to black metal. you guys are all loving some sick music can't you all just get along and jam the tunes
You guys...don't even try to attempt rapping Aesop Rock's rhymes, you will be tongue twisted and miss a lot of words. Believe me!!! I tried attempting none shall pass, and this song.
It's really not easy...I don't know how Aesop does it man. I give him props, I like his diverse complex rhymes.
Hello! I am a upcomming horrorcore-rapper from sweden. If you like real lyrical smart shit check my shit out and rate and comment it! If you don't understand swedish there are songs in english to. I will upload new songs often!!! Thanks in advance!
@murkserious1600 Wrong. He was an ancient Greek author, from around 620 B.C. All his stories were written to highlight a specific moral. He was Bulgarian if anything. Now, next time you cry Wolf, make sure you are telling the truth, or this big bad wolf is going to find you, and viciously correct you again.
@RegDupree bro, if your sayin its a vacation from the bitch ass hip hop, you obviously are entwined with that bitch ass hip hop all the time. quit listenin to real hip hop if you dont styand for it. word up.
@KingVirmire Agreed, but differing styles; you can 1) actually understand Del (don't get me wrong, I love Aesop) and 2) you can actually tell what Del's talking about without using too much brainpower, again, not that having to interpret lyrics is a bad thing, on the contrary, I enjoy it.
@vitunpaskiainen Del's I wish my brother George was here, was so BEAT heavy and had so much funk and it is just a classic piece of work! i love how track 6 on that starts!! I like Aesop but he's so ALL OVER the place, makes me sense to rap along with the beat like deL! i love finding old school hip hop on here, and newer stuff that sounds like the old school! KEEP OLD SCHOOL ALIVE HOMIES!
@McLure2 the stack of 4 rhyming syllables alone is more creative than most MCs whole tracks. this is Another aes track w/hard to follow context where big vocab isn't just used in the rhyme scheme.

@IllnosticTV LMFAO is aesop too complex because he doesn't rap about xbox 360's and condoms? i wonder why he's one of the biggest names in indie rap and you're a goofy looking kid with a youtube channel... go finish high school lol
@WyattFromThe314 Thats my problem. You are not the futut\re. You are some kid who listens to hip-hop don't get high and mighty nobody cares. I love hip-hop but would never think i was cool because of it. Like I say to others pat yourself on the back and move on.
@oldrippy0024 I'm not stating I'm cool, I'm stating the young demographic who listens to intelligent music will be the future to bringing good music back to civilization.

@IllnosticTV I hope you develop your musical taste at some point in your life. It'd be a crying shame if someone who claimed to understand hip hop - let alone music - didn't appreciate artists such as slug, eyedea, aesop rock and illogic.
@iKonified dont compare this to shakespear you hopeless tool, this is an average to good rap act shakespeare on the other hand invented a vast amount of the english language and was such an important wordsmith he will be studied for hundreds of years to come. Perhaps even thousands like Homer.
Aesop is comparable to Martin Luther King in that they both regularly use the word brothers to describe people they relate to and Ghandi in that neither have shot anybody.
I read everybodies comments and I just don't understand. Who cares if people like him or not. I know that everybody needs to express their opinion over the internet, but please just listen to the song and enjoy it. That's why we look up music on youtube anyways right?
The thing about good music like this, is that it kills a lot of music for me. I can't even stand hearing more than a few sentences from most rappers after listening to Def Jux and Rhymesayers shit. Some of the stuff I used to listen to... I don't even understand why I listened to it.
@Rowsol84 that's because it requires more than just being awake. aesop actually requires mental effort to understand, but if you arent willing to put forth such a strenuous exertion, i understand.
you mean it requires more than being ASLEEP, it requires being awake. Much of mainstream music is designed to hypnotize you and implant phrases and desires.
aesop lyrics are like poetry. its done in an abstract way where it can mean different things to different people. i could go through every aesop rock line and tell you what i think it means. is it what he meant when he wrote it? maybe not. but thats not what matters. youre SUPPOSED to get your own meaning. except from phrases like "YOU SHOULDA SHOT YOURSELF IN THE FOOT WHEN IT WAS IN YOUR MOUTH." thats pretty goddamn straight forward.
haha Shakespeare. Two completely different things. This is ok for what it is. Its all about taste. For me I'm just not a fan of the beats, the way he sounds, or the lyrics. It comes off a little pretentious and convoluted. For me hip hop has never been about having to listen to something 5, 10, and 20 times to get what they mean lyrically. I like to know where I stand from the start. I don't think Aesop Rock are bad at all. Give me champion sound and a blunt any day of the week. :)
lol anyone think that Kid Cudi took this shit?....The cartoon looks? Maybe someone already commented on this, but I thought I'd point it out again haha
@plwl19 lmfao nigga. just because their video are a little similar doesnt mean he took it. what if Cudi never listened to Aesop. you gotta look it at it on both sides
@faceofdabay I'm not saying Cudi copied it with a negative connotation dude. I'm saying (expressing my thoughts as words) "Hey, now I realize Cudi's music video wasn't as original as I thought it was." Thinking with words man, chill
Haha listen to you turds compare aesop to shakespeare... you would prolly blow him too if you seen him... aesop is dope when you are stoned and your just tryin to figure out what the fuck he is talking about. other than that anyone can speak a bunch of jibberish on top of a unique beat, aesop was just the first to do it and anyone else that tried would just be a lame biter. Aesop is laughin all the way to the bank with you nerds trying to sound intellectual when describing his likeness to shakes
you know what u just said is really true and thats why i gave u a thumbs up, but what would you say about cats admiring eyedea, i mean he this incredible talent for rap, that i personally feel no other rapper is comparable
Aesop is comparable to Shakespeare actually as they are both social commentators stuck in their own social context. Shakespeare was as controversial during his time as much for his portrayal of women as being as strong as men as rappers like Aesop (Rhymesayers and the like) are today for their portrayal of dirty urban culture. They are both satirists of their current socio-political landscape and of course that will not sit well with many contemporaries.
Fuck shakespeare. Can we move on and talk about some writers from our own generation please people? Go compare something else to ancient fucking history please.
@theconspiratordivine ok kid. aesop's metaphors are as deep and all encompassing as any work kurt vonnegut ever did. or were you referring to jk rowling or that twilight crap? idiot
@iKonified dont compare this to shakespear you hopeless tool, this is an average to good rap act shakespeare on the other hand invented a vast amount of the english language and was such an important wordsmith he will be studied for hundreds of years to come. Perhaps even thousands like Homer.
Aesop is comparable to Martin Luther King in that they both regularly use the word brothers to describe people they relate to and Ghandi in that neither have shot anybody.
@Jeromegill1 thats sad to not truly understand alot of what he says and the ground he breaks that no other will follow in he is comparable to Francis Bacon aka Shakespear
@iKonified Shakespeare was comissioned by royalty most of the time(in 1603 his theatrical company received a royal patent from James I) and he therefore satirised very little. The women in his plays are often portrayed as strong, but are always punished or returned to their rightful place (lady Macbeth, Ariel, Ophelia) .
@iKonified The chance in todays rapscene to stumble upon an intelligent mark about an intelligent rapper is very sparse. Being a german, I'm pretty happy to see quality rap have a comeback here, since there is legit amount of rappers the quality of Aesop here in Germany. Can you give any kind of similar outlook for the US scene?
He said interesting style often outweighs the subject, that's no excuse.

I read everybodies comments and I just don't understand. Who cares if people like him or not. I know that everybody needs to express their opinion over the internet, but please just listen to the song and enjoy it. That's why we look up music on youtube anyways right?

The thing about good music like this, is that it kills a lot of music for me. I can't even stand hearing more than a few sentences from most rappers after listening to Def Jux and Rhymesayers shit. Some of the stuff I used to listen to... I don't even understand why I listened to it.

@Rowsol84 that's because it requires more than just being awake. aesop actually requires mental effort to understand, but if you arent willing to put forth such a strenuous exertion, i understand.

@nevernateofkamal You're right, it requires a lyrics sheet.

@nevernateofkamal
you mean it requires more than being ASLEEP, it requires being awake. Much of mainstream music is designed to hypnotize you and implant phrases and desires.

aesop lyrics are like poetry. its done in an abstract way where it can mean different things to different people. i could go through every aesop rock line and tell you what i think it means. is it what he meant when he wrote it? maybe not. but thats not what matters. youre SUPPOSED to get your own meaning. except from phrases like "YOU SHOULDA SHOT YOURSELF IN THE FOOT WHEN IT WAS IN YOUR MOUTH." thats pretty goddamn straight forward.

haha Shakespeare. Two completely different things. This is ok for what it is. Its all about taste. For me I'm just not a fan of the beats, the way he sounds, or the lyrics. It comes off a little pretentious and convoluted. For me hip hop has never been about having to listen to something 5, 10, and 20 times to get what they mean lyrically. I like to know where I stand from the start. I don't think Aesop Rock are bad at all. Give me champion sound and a blunt any day of the week. :)

Haha listen to you turds compare aesop to shakespeare... you would prolly blow him too if you seen him... aesop is dope when you are stoned and your just tryin to figure out what the fuck he is talking about. other than that anyone can speak a bunch of jibberish on top of a unique beat, aesop was just the first to do it and anyone else that tried would just be a lame biter. Aesop is laughin all the way to the bank with you nerds trying to sound intellectual when describing his likeness to shakes

Aesop is comparable to Shakespeare actually as they are both social commentators stuck in their own social context. Shakespeare was as controversial during his time as much for his portrayal of women as being as strong as men as rappers like Aesop (Rhymesayers and the like) are today for their portrayal of dirty urban culture. They are both satirists of their current socio-political landscape and of course that will not sit well with many contemporaries.

@iKonified dont compare this to shakespear you hopeless tool, this is an average to good rap act shakespeare on the other hand invented a vast amount of the english language and was such an important wordsmith he will be studied for hundreds of years to come. Perhaps even thousands like Homer.
Aesop is comparable to Martin Luther King in that they both regularly use the word brothers to describe people they relate to and Ghandi in that neither have shot anybody.

@iKonified Shakespeare was comissioned by royalty most of the time(in 1603 his theatrical company received a royal patent from James I) and he therefore satirised very little. The women in his plays are often portrayed as strong, but are always punished or returned to their rightful place (lady Macbeth, Ariel, Ophelia) .

@iKonified The chance in todays rapscene to stumble upon an intelligent mark about an intelligent rapper is very sparse. Being a german, I'm pretty happy to see quality rap have a comeback here, since there is legit amount of rappers the quality of Aesop here in Germany. Can you give any kind of similar outlook for the US scene?
