Aesop Rock - 9-5ers Anthem

[PAKMAN5551]

someone please tell me how to make this video!!! :D

[rakimkoolgrapwutang]

love this shit

[manny3em]

perfect song with a perfect video!

[kushedup313]

Nice video

[cmkelly257]

Someone told me that Mac Miller was a lyrical mastermind. I told him to fuck off and showed him this song.

[SaintJamesGS]

i love the enthusiasm, this is a great video.

[PiosonJ]

What program did you use?

[hockey91ninjawarrior]

Loved it well done

[1Faer]

This is outstanding! If you are looking for actual constructive feedback, I have 2. The background talking at the begining you should use the fade effect you had on "Fumble out of bed . .". Also, I think the "This old Pompei impression . . " line probably should be broken into two parts. Those are minor things, however.  Outstanding.

[isorede]

@1Faer I appreciate your feedback, thank you. And I understand your point about the first spoken lines (btw - did anyone understand what he says right before the regular lyrics kick in? It bugged me lot that I had to leave it out) and I think I agree. Not sure about the second point though, but then if I did it again today I would probably make different choices anyway. So yeah - nice to see someone cares. :)

[realsiq]

the lyrics at 1:09 are "make a move pause make a move break cannon, bend barrel one eight zero u-turn squeeze end it"

dope way of describing suicide

[isorede]

@realsiq thank you - you're right, somehow that part must have slipped my attention when I went over it with the "official" lyrics booklet. and it makes much more sense. too bad you can't update video material here like you can on vimeo.

[lysergicallycorrect]

Thank you for taking the time to post the lyrics on this song. Some people literally can't comprehend it without visual aid as I've come to find out (i.e. the elder generation, in general). I think the lyrics are pretty in sync. The lyrics are fast because he raps fast.

[FNHNYC]

dude, your lyrics are sooooo off

[dm8ns]

You couldn't have done a worse job with those lyrics.

[CovinS]

Great video. Immensely appreciated, f the haters

[OneQuest1]

love the lyric thing i wish you could throw them on like a canvas and make dali pictures out of them every twenty seconds or so or something. that would be dope

[whisperingsin]

i like it

[drewpj88]

@isorede Fuck what anyone else says man. this video was done very well! it fits perfectly with how aesop rock does his style

[Schmooblywoo]

its nothing to do with how fast you can read, the point of a lyrics video is you can read them while the song is going on. for this its 2-3 seconds too late. you could easily have timed it so everyword was the the screen on time. good song, bad video

[isorede]

@Schmooblywoo man, thank you so much for revealing the point of my video to me and how easily i could have done it differently if i had wanted to.

[justSELF2nd]

It gets a little hectic out there ;)

[humanTFC]

fuck ya

[SidKid321]

that was a bad ass video right on wit the timing thats a great video to show how off the wall aesop is stat up

[pkwithobby]

The words seem lost in a black void of emotion.

A stark comment on the emptiness of life in the 21st century, juxtaposed by the cluttered.

I simply adore the emphasis on words like 'baby fat' and the unorthodox positioning of the 'bars'.

Truly ironic and dare I say

... Beautiful.

[lydellb]

lol Aesop is the man. quotin dolly parton and make it ill

[1GameBoyZz1]

2 pure

[baskunoreppin]

This sounds dope it makes me smile

[RossottiC]

Aes really really likes the word adjacent. I hear it in at leat four of his songs.

[clarinetato]

The last melody it's "Rhapsody in blue". I'm argentinian, i pity you US people...

peace

[ohradiogirl]

I like the short typography vid, but I like this one too. How'd you do this one?

[Whisper2771]

This song even today I think is one of Aes's most genius!

[Hallucin0g3n]

This song describes my morning dead on. Go aesop

[xzombiex100]

what is the sample??????? does anybody knows??

[inthemidwinter]

this the jam.

[65c]

aesop rocks TIGHT n do more of this lyrics stuff

[ClementsTom]

Great accompanying video man. Having the lyrics on the screen helps us simple-minded folk at least try to decipher Aesop's complex lyrics. Meaningful song too, especially given the current economic climate where class struggle and anti-wage slavery movements are coming to the fore.

[TomxLx93]

This is the only song I know the entire lyrics to, learnt them before even watching this video.

[xhatemailx]

Killer job, Iso.

[kebabflaps]

DO MORE OF THIS!!!!!

[xxmoney91xx]

This is a dope video, if you upload more music/songs do this, it looks dope.

[carfreak520]

TO COOL FOR YOU RADIO CHUMPS!

[39YJD]

if this vid was a pussy id fuck the shit out of it.

[ominousred]

Nice.

[deadmaufan]

holy shit... this is AWESOME

[primusayso]

This is sick for sure, good job

[costando]

the vid is strange! but (Y)

[WeRcod]

wow m8 pointless, the lyrics go past 2 fast n half them not on screen at right time, instead of tranna be clever, y nt make it simple ??

[isorede]

@WeRcod well, just focus on the chorus if you're having trouble following the more complex parts. i made that one simple for people that are past 2 fast.

[Hoss06]

@isorede Who cares if this guy can't read quick enough, it's a very good video.

[Padooshka]

@isorede ha be honest, did you make the verses all funky because you got some parts wrong? I dont blame you, its fucking impossible to hit every line right.

[animatorguy2]

@isorede dun worry i thought it was nice

[hockey91ninjawarrior]

@WeRcod How about fuck you, and read faster?

[BowCleave]

@WeRcod  get smarter

[WeRcod]

@BowCleave SPUDDDDDDDDD, try synchronising your video n lyrics, it makes a better video and is a lot better for the viewers.

[Smeesies]

@WeRcod I think it's great and easy to follow. I guess it helps I already know the song but it probably also helps i'm not an illiterate fuck and can read fast. Good work isorede. Cheers :P

[homeboy9232599]

anyone else get goosebumps while listening to him?

[barazzak]

@homeboy9232599  always

[hrafnfaedhir]

Really awesome job man. The only part that was difficult to follow was the double lines in the first verse that begin "This old Pompeii impression..." But everything else, you did an amazing job of visually capturing his flow.

[hvorego]

Makes me think about how everybody else also have problems. I know where I'm trying to go, but I don't know where everybody else is heading...

[StonerJaySimpson]

...just great...

[bigups43]

I trade my inborn tendencies for copper pennies <---- Thats the line right there.

[sirwinsalot7]

beat is legit

[bombingmaker]

peace from italy... dsa commando

[yugo91aesop]

"sometimes I laugh at victory kissing these little question marks"

what a great fucking line. ive been listening to this song for years and only now did I really catch how subtle and beautiful that line is. DOPE

[DeviantDear]

Fave Aesop Rock song.

totally appropriate video, the lyrics speak for themselves. =)

[chubbywater]

Please listen to this track called Bay Cat by a below underground artist.  - Thanks

[braindeadapocalypse]

"I tend to underestimate my average, just another bastard savage"

It's lines like this that prove how dope Aesop Rock is

[TRUBL3D]

fuckin sweet vid dude! mad props 2 u badass song 2 do it 2 love this song..... but aesop is just i fuckin HIP HOP KING love everything by him :)

[fookii99]

- Fumble out of bed and stumble to the kitchen, pour myself a cup of ambition and yawn and stretch and my life is a mess and if i ever make it home today god bless -

*scratches*

[XxoCerberusoxX]

@fookii99 wow it's a year old and you won't care but it needs to be posted up here. That line is actually a sample from Dolly Parton. It's from a movie she did called "Nine to Five" - A movie about work and some of it's corruptions.

[HipH0Pe]

Wow this video is dope!

I love how the lyrics are animated, very amazing.

and Davidnflowers, he could have just left a pic of aesop or the album cover like everyone else.

[mykewebb]

Great Video, Good Job!!!!

[UpThePunx11]

Nice visuals man, and great song choice. Aesop Rock - s!

[drewhadou]

cool way to convey the lyrics man. could easily pass for the music video. lol

[isorede]

thanks for your comments, guys. i do remember having posted some statement before, well, i don't know where it disappeared to and why. just watch the great "Aesop Rock in Typography" clip to see how i think this should have been done if i had had the time. and enjoy your time, everyone.

[JuhOny]

nice video i love it, love the text animation

[d2thh725]

dude this vid is dope. some sucker didnt give it 5 stars

[SeasemeStreetz]

very cool lyric play er whatever thats tight

[davidnflowers]

why have the lyrics if you cant follow along with them

[nikheizen]

i think that's the point

[severalchildren]

interesting idea dude. pretty kool. sometimes your words dont keep up: my only criticism.

[lemac]

thanks for uploading this
