@Basalate - I agree fully. Who cares if Aesop doesn't have a verse? He's had many, many verses on tracks with both Slug and the Grayskul crew, it's pretty cool hearing him take the hook over. And who cares who would win in an Aes VS Slug battle? Neither are known as battle rappers, they are both abstract mcs and it's absolutely pointless to compare them in that context. Just enjoy the damn song.
@ShawnSLWB I do, but ive alwasy seen slug as a pretty straightforward mc. He has a lot of music though so maybe im wrong or just havent listened enough. What songs would you say really paint him as abstract?
How are all the most negative bullshit bickering comments up on the top. Have you heard this song?!?! Its dope. No more fighting. Everyone ON this track laid it down THIIIICK. Producer included.
I highly doubt you'd ever see Slug and Aes in a battle that wasn't just for fun. They are long time friends and have been making tracks together since they both started in the 90's. People tend to gravitate towards Slug because they don't have to work as hard to figure out what he's saying - or in other words, because they're mentally lazy. aesop's a couple levels beyond slug at this point, and i doubt slug would disagree.
@c74r1ty44 thats a ridiculous statement, slug isn't as "outside" perhaps, but i promise you i am not a lazy listener and i find slug to be just as deep and real as aesop, he just has different vocabulary selections
@c74r1ty44 Slug just makes what he's trying to say clear in his own unique way which can be understood by a lot of people and is a heck of an artist who actually can get his point through in the clearest way possible.
i just learned about grayskul. being in the underground scene for years and im amazed with how he spits. its like a combination of mf doom and sole with some aesop rock. i love it!
@maxcaster989 lol, are you in Greyskul? Good that you know their private business hey? This track didn't need an aesop verse. They had way more budget for this album being after being signed, the guest spots show that clearly. Deadlivers had a aesop track on it, much less budget. Sorry, your theory is invalid.
@m0fiya They don't need to pay that fool to get on a track. They wanted his nasally voice on the hook, period. First verse makes the song dope enough.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
ok not that would it make a difference in how dope his shit is. art is art regardless of sexual preference. but if you've ever listened to an atmosphere song you'd know he raps a lot about women. I think someone priding themselve's on being so real wouldn't rhyme about ladies to sell albums.
xinventx... fuckin serious? listen to his music with your head not in your ass.. virtually everything in his music is a metaphor not literal. and even when he really is talkin about women that makes him real cuz he dont give a fuck what ass holes like you think... slug does work
slugs strait, not that it effects the quality of his shit, i got his entire discography up untill When Life Gives You Lemons.... met the dude on tour once aswell.
yea ive heard him rap about women, but hey, he could have slept with guys too. maybe he did that album dedicated to lisa bonet to cover up affections for malcolm jamal-warner?
ahh, yea ur right and not right, b/c their sexual "preferences" might affect the way they make their art, and if they had diff't views on the subject their art would be diff't, u see where im going at
ya thats bad no one has the same style of aesop rock so if you were unsure of who that was on the second verse then you havent listen to enough of aesop rock
Riddled with blood, no surrender Render this tree of its fruit and bathe In it's wonderous plender Venemous incident of mayhem Seduced quarrels of evil Forsaken from all the havens Keeping juice from the people A nation fooled and divided Our fearsome tools in line Social demise inside the cries Beneath this eye in the sky But see this fire inside rises And refuses to die Spiraling straight for the viper in sight I'm an owl in flight
Riddled with blood, no surrender Render this tree of its fruit and bathe In it's wonderous plender Venemous incident of mayhem Seduced quarrels of evil Forsaken from all the havens Keeping juice from the people A nation fooled and divided Our fearsome tools in line Social demise inside the cries Beneath this eye in the sky But see this fire inside rises And refuses to die Spiraling straight for the viper in sight I'm an owl in flight
Though clouded, full of doubt And shrouded sentiments of bliss To watch him drown in his own pit of blood Till every ounce drips Strip them of their faith Until the love submits to malice Between the grips of balance Burning specimens outside his palace Where the serpent lays in slumber Stomach roars, like war cinematics Havoc captured outside his doors yet He still ignores those in need of medics Sleeps on fortune's pillow as smoke billows The colony bleeds Academy's falling and weak
