Aesop Rock - Catacomb Kids

[brentpurt]

knock em out the box aes!

[byf1864]

My heart = Aes lyrics.3

[DickVelvet]

Listen to what you dig, arguing about shit that you don't won't make it disappear. I like how music brings people together, I don't care to see or hear about how it separates us

[hylian726]

Shit, listen to that flow. Especially 1:22, so goddamn smooth.

[Wutwut1n1]

@hylian726 Ya but sometimes he just goes too fast and you have no idea what hes saying

[windmonkey95]

you know he's from long island cuz he mentioned hanging out outside of a king kullen.

[edawgydog]

Aesop is f*(Kn amazing



[jonnytheninja2R]

you guys need to know how to respect other people's opinion.

[lookitsthescenekid]

reppin 631, suffolk county long island. i'm proud a rap legend is from where i'm from

[bajesus666]

Knock em out the box ace

[rakimkoolgrapwutang]

@bajesus666 i think he took that from slick ricks song 'children's story' look up that video on utube

[1omAngryHawk]

He really got the beat right on this one. I need this song now.

[SilkySkillsUnited]

HAHA! Star Wars reference at the end

[barnumeffect5]

aesop rock is out there. i rap too but i don't think that i'd ever be able to touch as many subjects as he does with the same amount of depth.

[fotl22]

i lived in the town Aesop grew up in, #northportpride

[wrathfulcreature]

whys everyone got to hate on other artists? who the fuck cares whos mainstream and who isn't? buy a fucking ipod or any other mp3 and put the music YOU want to listen to and stop fucking complaining you pricks

[mksr12]

One of my fav songs on None Shall Pass.

[lacesoutchris]

eminem is ill, aes is ill, apples and oranges, theyr both ill.

[NeoBrutale]

Aesop has the best lyrics if you ask me :) Eminem just sold him self out on his new albums , the only good song he has is The Fast Lane

[87lostone]

k-fed yall

[realsiq]

every time i come to a hip hop video its always people arguing over whose the better rapper and not how dope the song is. U came to listen to aesop so listen to aesop

[lt1eg6]

I'm not stupid. I read as much as I can, I keep my mind open, but to be honest, this is way above my braingrade. A genius behind words. They should start a university course just to try and comprehend let alone analyse what he is saying. This doesn't require multiple listens, rather a lifetimes worth of listens to see what he's really speaking about. Either that or I'm stupid. Stunning track.....If only I can really grasp what the hell it's about. Anyone to clarify?

[incentiveeee]

@lt1eg6 he talks about being young and all the shit he's done in his life.

[xrbecx]

if your from long island, you'll understand everything he's sayin here

[kitekotus]

aesop is best white rapper in my opinion he is even beter than eminem because of complexe rhymes,what can i say hes flow is realy advacend sicne 1996,aesop is with out doubt one of the best east coast rappers

[byf1864]

How to describe Aesop? I am truly lost for words in this one. Closest would be not of this Earth

[420MrSteeze]

U GUYS TALK TO MUCH...LISTEN TO THE GOD DAMN MUSIC.



[meowmix599]

nujabes shits on aesop nd its not underground

[boneofthesilverwhale]

aesop cock

[Spytron3030]

@boneofthesilverwhale lol inb4shitstorm

[BUNCHACRUCH]

@TheTripleChip nujabes luv sic part 2 or luv sic part 3 look it up for some reason i thik youd like it but aesop rock is sick as fuck hes awesome

[alberts1985]

great lyrics o figure out when puffin....

[FSM1138]

Funny thing, according to youtube guudleines this should be gone, but its too good to be taken off.

And alog comes a soccer mok...

[StairFox11]

@FSM1138 Why should it be gone?

[FSM1138]

@StairFox11 Inappropriate stuff like drug use.

[StairFox11]

@StairFox11 Wouldn't that just mean you should have to be signed in to verify age?

[9musiCreation9]

comparing aesop or hip hop underground or old school to gangsta/hardcore rap or mahfuggin CLOWNS! is like comparing punk rock to mozart but imho aes sage and blockhead saved my life and possibly the world from a lifetime of fake ass gimmicky kiss doll bs

[DiAmOnD595]

any one person or group that gets groups of people to group up and cause trouble in riots and crime is a plague to this planet and its intellectual living.

thats why we have wars over religion.

dont ever point fingers unless its something causing a group of hate.

learn to understand and accept it

[gburgin92]

Um, ICP is the best thing to fucking happen to this world.

[DaveDFFA]

I ALMOST want to flag this as inappropriate, but it's so perfect.

[LilithFilth]

....Garbage Pail Kids you're not at the mall food court....

Love  Aesop!

[musiclover01ization]

Why are we arguing about different artists on a video? It's utterly stupid to watch people arguing over nothing. If you like icp, i can respect that. If you like lupe, i can respect that. If you like eminem, i can respect that. We all should be able to respect our different tastes. You people need to grow up.

[crossandcrown]

@musiclover01ization lil wayne for the win lmfao..

[EnchantedBidoof]

@musiclover01ization You are a good person. I could never respect ICP fans.

[mrfoneman1]

@EnchantedBidoof hey come at me bro juggalos nvr die homie

[NevetSteven7]

@mrfoneman1 Yes, yes you do.

Please do not try to start an argument on Youtube, please. Everyone dies one day, so do legends. Don't feed into the hate, don't feed into the stupidity of the community. Just listen to music, listen to art, listen to what you want to and leave OUR music out of your ignorance. Also, I don't agree with @EnchantedBidoof. He's more ignorant, in fact. Plus, I might actually agree with your retaliation against his clear attack, but be better than him and just let it go.

[Mattmoo36]

Wow, was not expecting him to talk about Suffolk County, Long Island. Lol that's where I'm from and apparently so is he. So that's something.

[AlexIsSmalll]

"Awesome Cars!"

[3521soda]

poppin pills behind a dumpster

one foot in velvet heaven, other in the gutter

[Wanabrich1]

I used to say that Eminem was the best lyricist. But now im going to re-phrase that. Eminem is the best MAINSTREAM lyricist. But when it comes to complex lyrics, Eminem has nothing on Aesop Rock

[IXxBossxXI]

@Wanabrich1 disagree with the eminem part. you should listen to less hyped up mainstream artists. lupe is a better lyricist

[Wanabrich1]

@IXxBossxXI I dont want to get into an Eminem/Lupe arguement on an Aesop video, but Lupe is no where near a better lyricist than Eminem. never. not even close.

[IXxBossxXI]

@Wanabrich1 and i stand by what i said . aparently you havent heard much of lupes music

[Wanabrich1]

@IXxBossxXI Dude.. I have.. Lupe's just not better. sorry. nothing about his abilities as a rapper top eminem's. He's not a better story-teller, he can't rhyme better, he cant produce multi-syllabic rhyme schemes as well as Eminem, his music isnt as passionate and personal, he doesnt incorporate every emotion into his songs, he's not humorous, he doesnt battle rap, he's not as good in a cypher.. he just doesnt compare man, im sorry. i like Lupe. He's good. You just cant compare him to Eminem.

[dannyst123]

@Wanabrich1 and eminem sucks compared to aesop rock!

[Fudgeyer]

@Wanabrich1 agreed! lupe is a bit overrated nowadays, and eminem still remains at the top for me. well, so does aesop technically.... i consider aesop rock better than lupe fiasco.

[dcypher84]

@Wanabrich1 Eminem is a fucking joke. Lupe's flow is far more complex. His lyrics are often cryptic and therefor can be interpreted many ways. Eminem is juvenile. You're probably a suburban high school kid who's mad at his mom for not buying him the car he wanted. Eminem's "multi-syllabic" rhymes usually take away from the lyricism and they don't even usually rhyme. He yells everything and his flow is boring. You're right Lu isn't humorous, but I ain't laughing with Em. I'm laughing at him.

[chriscancer13]

@dcypher84 Eminem set the bar for raw shit early in his career, and while Im not into he pop rap he makes now, there is no denying what he did for the artform.

[dcypher84]

@Wanabrich1 P.S. You're a douche.

[rocknrave09]

@Wanabrich1 Haha that actually made me laugh. Aesop is just too real to go mainstream. Fuck eminem lmao. i cant even believe you can lie to yourself like that.

[zulok1337]

@IXxBossxXI listen to infinite or it's okay and then tell me lupe still compares.

[IXxBossxXI]

@Wanabrich1 although this song is old. lupe showed a good example of that on the song switch

[groalerable]

@Wanabrich1

in terms of rhyme schemes and specific pattern based flows, eminem was one of the best. period.

[Wanabrich1]

@groalerable agreed.

[xXxlolomgwtfxXx]

@groalerable oh just stfu and get out

[groalerable]

@xXxlolomgwtfxXx

..im sorry that a rapper can still be good and mainstream..... do you understand anything about rapping?

[Spytron3030]

@groalerable why does none shall pass have like a billion views, and it's probably one of his worst albums/songs

[Iwillgiveyouctime]

@Spytron3030 I dunno what you're talkin about...from what I've heard of none shall pass it is pretty epic. Just listen to the music :)

[kannabiz420]

@Wanabrich1 Busta Rhymes.

[UnexpectedWonder]

@Wanabrich1 Shady still is the Best Lyricist. his Cypher on the 2011 Hip-hop awards was Fire.

[yadrummer11]

@Wanabrich1 how bout you stop worrying about who the best is and just find the good ones

[ipwnorcs]

@Wanabrich1 Immortal Technique shits on them all

[CoreyRobertson2]

i'm just gonna say it.... best rapper alive

[AlexDGelsomino]

When I see ICP in the rap section at Newbury or wherever, I want to vomit.

[juggalosk420]

IGHT IM A JUGGALO

do i listen to icp not anymore i grew out of it

im all about this shit and graffitti music now that old school new york music and old school rock so dont hate on juggalos just cause a few pussys gave us true niggas a bad name

[REMIX909]

@juggalosk420 Juggalos are nothing but a bunch a dumb illiterate group of people. They aren't cool because they wear makeup and carry hatchets.

[paramedixation]

@juggalosk420

"graffitti music"

lol wut

[EnokTheKing]

One shoe in the soupy gutter, one shoe in the velvet heaven.

[Fatallethal]

Found this guy thanks to the artwork of Jeremy Fish...Mostly listen to metal, but I'm a huge fan of oldschool hip hop and good underground Hip Hop...Like This Shit...A LOT.!

[findanewgoddd]

i want to see a rap battle between aesop rock and gucci mane. needless to say aesop would leave him in the fucking dust

[paramedixation]

"cough an awful ether often."

[DarkXStep66766]

plz stop hatin icp ppl ya now a days there music is a bit mainstream but just like tech they have to eveolve

[MrRedspark51]

@Giggidyrange who's icp?

[hk9r7rrje1]

@MrRedspark51

Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP): Used in analytical chemistry laboratores for elemental analysis of a substance to determine the concentration of different elements, usually heavy metals such as Lead, Barium, and Zinc.

[IsaacBaranoff]

@Giggidyrange Aesop Rock himself said that the documentary "A Family Underground", which was released by ICP's label and is about their fans, was one of his favorite films of the year it came out. I used to trash musicians but I stopped because it's not productive. You don't like ICP for your own reason. Chuck D, Tech N9ne and Ice-T have given ICP props. Are you saying that you're better than them? Stop talking about artists you don't like on a Aesop Rock video and have a subjective viewpoint.

[Giggidyrange]

@IsaacBaranoff I think my bro posted that lol. I don't hate on other artists. Sorry man haha.

[byf1864]

I never thought any NY native could surpass Jeru the Damaja. Then I heard Aesop Rock

[baskunoreppin]

AESOP never dissapoints! This is nice

[murphmacmanus47]

mmmmmmm snack for later......

[VietnamBattle141972]

Ricky Kasso \,,\  Fuck yes.

[Fallen13337]

srsly we should stop hate and namecalling and consider ourselves as happy to be part of the small part of population who knows how to value true music

[SINwOopWoOp]

how is it bad it makes people feel like they belong ?? i mean i dont walk around all covered in icp merch but you know the friends ive made have always had my back no matter what ... i mean different people have different thoughts on things but way go out of your way to exploit them .. your just making them more famous if you think about it

[Meecrob462]

People, like myself, who have been true fans of hip hop/rap since elementary school know Aes is REAL hip hop. Not like this garbage mainstream shit. Hip hop, music and any art for that matter is measured on opinion, unfortunately. You can like and listen to Lil' Wayne trash all day but saying he's a better emcee than Aes is just wrong. You can say a stick figure drawing is better than a picasso cause it's on your fridge but that don't mean it is. Everyone's entitled to their stupid ass opinion.

[Moktarr101]

This has got a legit flow.

[mikethaironlung]

TairyHesticles has most leet username on youtube

[semburu]

@TairyHesticles I'm a juggalo, and you don't need to be insulting all of us. Now I'm not going to agree that ICP sucks or it does not. But yeah compared to Aesop, we know who is better at the lyrics. And please don't stereotype us as immature teenagers that are most likely high when we comment on this, ect. because yeah some of us are but not all of us. Oh by the way, have you ever looked up other juggalo artists/groups? like Boondox or Twiztid?

[Jordyjg]

@semburu

swing your little axe or be an oak tree if you can,

either way adapt to circumstance or play your final hand..

Either evolve from your retardation or kill yourself, tell your little bad ass mad max buddies too...

[Jordyjg]

@Jordyjg

woah buddy, apparantly that first rhymes meaning went over your head.

yes jugallos are fucking annoying, they just want attention, and by being all butt hurt over some autistics with face paint makes them win. so chill out and smoke more.

[allspirits111]

@semburu I would ask if you can rap, or do anything other than be a typical ICP groupie... But the real question is, can you even juggle?

[zoomac10]

Bassline!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheMjolniir]

@zoomac10 Coffee and Keep Off the Lawn also have great basslines, though much more simple than this.

[SkatingInEmerica]

The only thing that could possibly be more underground than Aesop Rock would be hell. So unless Satan starts rapping, i think we got ourselves a lyricist god.

[lollmfaorofllawlftw]

@SkatingInEmerica there's a plethora of artists who are more underground than Aes!

check it...Centrifugal Phorce records and Backwoodz Studioz...bunch of kats from Def Jux over there

[SteelSnarf]

@SkatingInEmerica nobody could have said that better than you my friend, lol well put

[DEATHBYSOCIALIST]

@SkatingInEmerica aesop rock isn't underground though

[GanjaKreww]

@DEATHBYSOCIALIST Are you for real? NO ONE knows who Aes Rock is. Not saying that's a bad thing, but it just is.

[DangerZoneWhistle]

@SkatingInEmerica i couldn't agree more. imagine if slug and aesop did a track together? i might already exist but i just haven't heard it... that'd be fire.

[TheEbucks123]

@DangerZoneWhistle They did, it also includes Murs they did a whole album called Felt, they have a couple albums out I think.

[uzi2121]

@DangerZoneWhistle there is one that i know of called "miss by a mile" it has aesop slug and eyedea

[SkatingInEmerica]

@DangerZoneWhistle Diabolical Fun Remix, Put Your Quarter Up, I'll Be OK, there's many.

[CoverMeWithStars]

@DangerZoneWhistle I'll Be Okay is ft. Slug, it's on Float. Some of their Orphanage shit too, it IS dope,man.

[jcarola00]

@SkatingInEmerica thats da fuckin best comment I read in youtube since i discovered it !!!!

[riot7s]

Tairy Hesticles ur fuckin awesome bro. from your eyedea & abilities to this....all these vids u put up are like 50% of the reason why im so into underground hip hop. PEACE

[fookii99]

This is the dopest song off none shall pass

[00AmidimA00]

This is album I put on every time I go to the gym. It never gets old, I find new things in his lyrics every time I listen to them, and it never fails to pump me up so I can work through the pain. KNOCK 'EM OUT THE BOX AES!

[nicklongworth212]

i like that u reply on peoples comments with insight

[lokip0000]

who gives a fuck if you cant understand what he is saying, bottom line is it sounds amazing so get over yourself

[skaterindahood]

my mind gets so fucked everytime i listen ti aesop he kills all ha

[csal1d]

anybody else ntice the slick rick reference?

[pdPOINTnCLICKbq]

@csal1d It was hardly subtle.

[BadOmenz]

1 dislike?!?

I will scour every rock until I find the one you're hiding under...

[pdPOINTnCLICKbq]

@BadOmenz What's this? A Dislike comment that doesn't make me rage?

[SXENedger]

Knock 'em out the blocks, Aes.

[whydoesthismattr]

its the acid jaggles nothing personal but listen and dig it but lip it and sip it?..up? hahaha

[224Cameron]

THE BEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!! I LOOOOOVEEEE THIIIIISSSS BEEEEEEAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT­TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!

[shreddert97]

Listen to the song Citronella by aesop rock

[whydoesthismattr]

@shreddert97 just did and jumped to this, love

[BlindPacemaker]

One of my favourate AR tunes, cheers 4 posting.

[kolokyal]

And i just found out that he studied art. He's spewing abstracte literature into a catchy tune. i fell in love with none shall pass and i'm listening to it everyday.

[gutturaldissonance]

does anyone think right last bit of the song sounds a bit like the end of Slick Rick - Childrens Story i think it is anyway i aint listened to it in a while

[fiend4hiphop]

why do i listen to mad other hop-hop and when i get back to A.R. who got me into the underground in the first place...do i feel that he is the fucking KING!!!!!!!!!!!! cause he is!!!!!

[Dannyb0y24]

Suffolk county fucking blows, its true. born and raised.

[MRSKEZONE]

Aesop Rock, nothin much to say bout his sh!t, but HEAR IT...unique talent and wits, that dude is ILL Poetry!

[MyDormantSoul]

watch me jump.

[TheAndromeda412]

aesop rock has crazy lyrics there so diffrent from everyone else that why I like him

[blaaaagh]

OMG AS FUCK

[numderenin]

aesop +beat= einstien of hip hop

[marvinscorsese]

LegitimateBusiness44 and TairyHesticles have no respect for underground hip hop. They do not deserve to listen to Aesop Rock, a minor underground rapper, if they cannot respect the biggest names in the underground game.

[SeasemeStreetz]

what r u talking about?

[FlawlessAngle]

So what if they dont like people in them fat guys that try to be clowns. different folks different strokes. maybe you should just chill and thank tairyhesticles for this song upload

[fiend4hiphop]

And I walk into the office cough an awful ether often flood a parking meter fever, knuckle up the love and rockets. It was reign of the razor laser day of the cloudy howdy flight of the shelter melter you can bow without me.

god i love this mother fucker...aesop tenn years later and hes still my favorite!!!

[Bong2Muff88]

I got a beard lookin like aesop! its a bad ass beard. im thinkin half General Grant, half cap. Hook.

[grnmtnboy89]

Why would you even mention"Juggalo" underneath an Aesop Rock song. Go post something under ICP. Underground is the way to be.

[Sagefrakrobatik]

I wonder what Aesop Would sound like if he rapped in Arabic?

[SeasemeStreetz]

You Won The "Most Random Irrelevent Comment" Award. hahaha

[MentallyJuiced]

OMG SICK AS FUCK

[Gamerhomie]

The flow in the chorus is just insane.

[Modimodifilms]

Suffuck cunty represent.

[windmonkey95]

definetly the first time i heard suffolk county get mentioned in a song :D gotta luv suffolk tho

[noisez13000]

AWESOME CARS

[FinallyFeelFree]

Aesop Rock.. HAHA.. And they say mainstream is good.. Plz man underground is always great not good.. Aesop rock will eat up any "rappers" out there.. or today we should say.. pop rappers!! haha underground for life man

[shreddert97]

@FinallyFeelFree Aesop beats Lil wayne. He also pwns the hell out of Mr. Flinstone (Young Money)

[kyoukilis20]

@FinallyFeelFree woah woah woah dont you mean some underground is great, most is garbage. underground accounts for everyone who isnt popular but thinks they can rap. unless you mean popular underground...then its not really underground.

[aarondrugs]

@kyoukilis20 Dude, I completely agree with that. But there are very few people that are damn good unknown underground. Check out "Roon Maddie" He's not known..at all. But his lyrics are actually based on real shit. He apparently records no microphone or anything. And does all mixing, production and editing himself. It's pretty crazy.

[ScruffyBueno]

lol... you mean Juggalos? I had a fat friend who loved ICP. I don't like them either.

[ugene1975]

nice......sounds like a mix between nas hip-hop is dead and ice cube jackin for beats.....and a twist of rock guitar's.....watch me jump....

[SuperInfective]

Aesop rock is pretty sick, but since i've been introduced to mc's like Esoteric, Apathy, and celph titled; i've found them to be just a bit better

[Shapiro7861]

Fer real dude i agree demigocz and aotp are better but aesop rocks flows are sick too

[zberry2]

wow you have really bad taste

[SuperInfective]

All in the eye of the beholder my dear friend.
