In this humble guys opinion. This is the most listenable hiphop track ever produced. Beautiful sort of "wailing, wah-wahed and distorted" guitar sample. Amazing off-beat noises and synths gorgeously constructive use of language! That fast stab sample at the end the perfect icing. mwaaaah!
Dam trying to decipher the last 2 lines of El's verse, i know they are epic, cant quite under stand them "If I should exhaust..... ?????????????????????????????????/ tell them its my love that got me this far and its my dreams i see their faces in" (I suggest not trying to look them up they are all the same and questionable, and now i cant listen to them with an open enough mind. Anyone can help me out? holler!
@iiNDiTC Nah Company Flow's Funcrusher Plus is still the GOLD STANDARD. This is a classic but Funcrusher Plus was REVOLUTIONARY!. Out of all of them though Aesop Rock is the shakepeare of hip-hop, ppl thought eminem was some prodigy yet listen to Aesop Rock.perfection not seen since the old school and Rakim. Hip hop sold itself out hard this could've been the brand new poster child revolution for hjip-hop..instead the same year in 01 it just saID THE F word to the genre and Nelly blew up.SAD;-/
This track is amazing, always has been. El-P murders the beat and has a great verse but Vast Aire KILLS it at the end... " The galaxy is the body, theSuns the heart, the black holes the brain." Come on now :O
@iiNDiTC Absolutely! Totally agree with u! I scoured record stores and the net to find this album on vinyl, and it will have to be pried from my dead fingers before I give it up
Did anyone notice the references to the book (or movie) "1984" in El-P's verse. A TV you can't unplug, weekly chocolate-rations, etc. If you've never read the book, I highly recommend it. One of the only books ever that left a huge impression on me.
