[johnybob2232]

Sick hoodie.

[lillisund]

[LightningLion1585]

@lillisund the thing that said "on a sunny afternoon in New York" was from 'Dryspell' from the Appleseed EP. then that actual music after was from 'Big Bang' from Float

[lillisund]

@LightningLion1585 Yes! it's all coming together now haha thanks

[metaversal]

@lillisund - Big Bang

[lillisund]

@metaversal Thank you:D

[GlumLotDrums]

I totallly thought he was black. hahah

[lnclincoln]

[plastik420]

this fool is amazing.. for real tho... some of his trakcs are UNfucken believablE!! all of them actually

[SciFaction]

What useless comments.. "He looks high." and "He has a beard."

Wow

[wowerz82]

Aesop is a cutie pie

[Imac619]

Aesop Rock is never clean shaved, dude stays with the beard.

[xxthizz420xx]

fuck cottonmouth.

[deerhaunter300]

[ThePhundumentalz]

LoL, at the end hes like "wee!!!"

[EmeryAustin]

man, I live in austin, and I have watched the music at sxsw get worse and worse. going from aesop to kanye this year. /facepalm

[TheMITCH316]

@EmeryAustin ooooo thats tough man, i feel for you so hard

[CRRankinstein]

I dont know what pictures youve been looking at, but I have NEVER seen Aes with a clean shave.

[mpchead621]

@CRRankinstein ive seen a few, but none that were taken after like 99

[tonystarks500000]

@mostofthecomments Is getting high the most clever thing you can think of to comment on this video? We get it that your aged 16-25 and transitioning from your parents house into college life, but no need to shove it in our faces. Everyone on facebook gushes about weed like they're these holy humans.

It's about the music, weenies. Not your obsession with green.

[llovka]

His high :D thouse eyes..very talented dude.

[csmit]

hes probly on some benzo's he always talks about klonapin and his anxeity hes like a bear that hibernbernates without his benzos i bet

[MollieStar]

Dude I fucking love this guy. Nuff said.

[EddieBee83]

i have synthetic facial hair, hahahahahahhaahaha Its plastic, muahahahahahaha

[HersheyWasHere]

PSN

[bartjuhh12]

lol ADHD leg

[Antiks72]

Are his pants sagging?

[nicklongworth212]

@Antiks72 yea

[bLoWnCaPoNe187]

notice how he DOESNT have a xbox hoodie hahah..

[gorillailla202]

@bLoWnCaPoNe187 Different people different taste :P

Never knew aesop was a sony fan though

[NimhGC]

@bLoWnCaPoNe187 lol isnt that playstation

[InsideAVitalSuit]

Who gives a shit what any artist looks like, if your focused on their looks then your missing the whole point I would say. The other day I was checkin out this new jack johnson video and everyone was dissin it because he has shaggy hair now and a beard...It's a beautiful world we live in but has been inflicted with a half hazard cancerous species, (not all humans).

[ScruffyBueno]

That's not even a beard, that stubble!

[dundalkmyths]

i've talked to aesop not at a concert or anything i wont tell you how cause you guys will blow his shit up tryna talk to him, but aesop rock is a very nice guy and fuck you clowns that don't like him he is REAL rap not dumbass lil wayne shit like piss and shit in a urine bowl bitches

[BenT3hWin]

@dundalkmyths There is no such things as "real" rap, in my opinion. Rap is a sad excuse for music, aimed at mindless teenagers.

[thirdshift47]

@BenT3hWin

What kind of music do you recommend for all us adults?

[BenT3hWin]

@thirdshift47 I'd suggest hip-hop among a lot of other things. But it's not just for adults, I said mindless teenagers, the kind that listen to whatever their friends do or whatever is most popular at the time.

[thirdshift47]

@BenT3hWin

Sorry;I didn't realize that heads were still engaging in purist debates over cultural semantics.lol

[agentno923]

@BenT3hWin My father is turning 57 this month. He listens to Aesop Rock.

[GanjaKreww]

@agentno923 That's what i like to hear

[Sheeddyy]

@agentno923 thats dope man:O

[Sagefrakrobatik]

@agentno923 whats his favorite song by him

[lillisund]

@dundalkmyths Agreed man

[WhiteDimensionz]

why r u guys arguing about his fuckin beard? damn be grateful for his music, not on his appereance. maybe he likes his beard. just listen to the music, dont give a fuck about what other people wear or if they have a beard or not kid.

[umRobby]

dope sweatshirt :)

[EmceeOnslaught]

Love that sweat shirt.

[iiNDiTC]

cat takes mad 4 bars...his eyes always dilated..

[mud409]

all of def jux gets lit like that. pharmies killed that label...

[Gnarkill989]

@iiNDiTC he also eats maaad shrooms

[Matthew235689]

ought to be renamed "one question no one cares about asked to Aesop Rock." weakest interview ever.

[Digital1980]

he looks baked too.

GOoo SOP!!

[Digital1980]

lol, sop is a nerd.

I like it.

[DeftJay]

The best emcee's are nerds ;D

[DeadCee]

aes is one of da illest, but i cant listen to his stuff no more. iunno he used to be my fav but i kinda got out da vibe. i fux wit lodeck still tho, and c-rayz walz

[JSuelto1]

ive tried listening to this guy , i prob like 2 songs of his

[desolateroom]

lol ps2 hoodie

[finowa]

go on, i bet you can come up with more fucking retarded questions.

[irishkiddo]

1st off if hes on tour he is probably moving around too much 2 shave

and 2 beards kick ass only pussies dont have facial hair

aes is probably showing off his manliness

[miracleman2323]

I agree with you but seriously, shaving takes like 10 minutes TOPS. He has the time

[Spyder8477]

@miracleman2323 It's dubbed "project grizzly" referring to how much time is actually spent making the beats, mixing and take after take after take of flows. good times!

[jtwidmer]

@miracleman2323 But then he wouldn't have the beard.

[hideandgoseekjesus]

@irishkiddo

Is that so? As an irishman it seems to me you're another tonguing the blarney stone of judgement.

[GRSuperChris]

@irishkiddo Yeah, and maybe his wife digs the beard. Ever think of that?

[SOADownsnubs]

@irishkiddo People can't help their genetics dude. It's all good though. Why would he need to show off? He's probably comfortable enough with his masulinity to the point where he acknowledges peace of mind and happiness as being more important than facial hair regarding ''manhood''. You got it all backwards dude.

[300daysandnights]

@SOADownsnubs system of a down does own noobs. as does Tool.

[immobile2005]

lol "we don't have instruments"

what a classic line

[craniotagging]

he used to do a shit load of acid back around 2001 but he probley not on anything during this interview

[mpchead621]

how do you know he did a shit load.. he only talked about it in one of his songs and he said he could control himself with it and not do it too much... and then he mentioned it in a couple other songs when he says "glitches rotary sensory development" but how do you know he did a lot lol

[brokemc]

SHROOOOOOOMS!!!

[u15a]

he kinda looks like a cleaner classier version of R.A. the rugged man, in my opinion

[kuyaZ14]

he has the fastest mouth and the dopest ryhmes

[greenfiend408]

i know a girl that lives near him in frisco i hear he's a fuckin dick

but who gives a shit he makes dope ass music

[zombieflayer666]

i thought he lives in ny

[greenfiend408]

no he moved to cali a few years back

[zombieflayer666]

haha damn, i wonder if i live near him. i live in sf.

[urabawbag]

he aint a dik a met him after a gig in ny he's a chilled laid bak person far frm a fukin dick

[LOLOYOMO]

Not bein' mean here, but he looks so high. LOL! He's really really laid back too. That's cool.

[storm0fnova]

dont need to be high to be laid back n cool

[nativebrother]

@storm0fnova Haha, yeah, people thought I smoked weed in high school, but I'm naturally chill as hell.

[Robstailey]

@storm0fnova it sure helps though

[FeeldahVibe001]

@storm0fnova lmao i think Aesop is high here tho

[storm0fnova]

@FeeldahVibe001 then again, who hasn't been?

[Matadorzero1]

[HerrFru]

[o1LilJan]

[DeeMasta420]

[mtcw2790]

[muxmike]

amazing.

[groaler]

why did he do pitchfork?

pitchfork is for fags

[420bongweed]

best rapper ever

[MissionInfect]

He's high as shit right here.

[MurksYourHeroes]

Why do you say that?  Is smoking weed some kind of novelty to you? Noob.

[MissionInfect]

He's chillin' and doing his own thing and what made your dumb ass self think that smoking weed is a "novelty" to me.

[MurksYourHeroes]

Well, because you had to point out that he looks high (when he really doesn't) like it was a big deal. WOAH!!  Imagine that! A musician smoking weed. OMG OMG OMG!!! Ease back fanboy.

[MissionInfect]

Yeah, I made this HUGE deal out of him looking stoned. I also had to break out the caps, right? smh @ faggot fan boy's, stop jocking him.

[pakiboy949]

he's not on weed, he's on something else.

[turnbugu]

lol his talking voice is INCREDIBLY similar to brendan frasier's. maybe im the only one who sees that.

[DissentDispute]

haha good observation...do i hear duet?

[FuhkTheSystem]

oh shit! 4real, separated at birth!

[bram513]

this man does not need oxygen,he can say so much sentences without filling his lungs.

i think he fills his lungs with thc only,that way he can say the weird stuff hes telling us all. he's a good rapper,different but better than anyone else ive ever heard.he doesnt need to hear snares,he'll adjust freestyleraps whenever the beat comes in.

[calyx06]

high ass niga

[rcroxyosox1]

I'm inspired by his shameless wearing of the white guy crusty beard. Time to grow 'er out again.

[moptopskate]

what did he mean that he was finally reuniting with the police and that they squared our their differences.

[AFrame88]

he says police,sting,

its a joke, Sting used to sing for the Police in the 70's then he went off on a solo thing

[yepyepsir]

He always said he hated cops when he was a teenager.

[TakuX191]

the band The Police with Sting he mentioned it right after saying I am reuniting with the police been a long time comming Sting has been blowing up my pager all day.

[groaler]

lol playstation jacket

[BlitzShaft]

omg that guys so cool..

but screw cops, fo' real though. >_>

[hiphopartbeats]

AESOP ROCK IS THE MAN.
