Aesop Rock- Float [Better Quality]

[hiphopfan77]

does anyone understand what "please pan the nozzle" means? I'm pretty sure the song refers to the human condition so that his final floating represents both death (dead bodies float) and life (floating while other people drown). So that in light of his understanding of the human condition he's not really drowning yet in a sense he is dead and not part of the human condition. The song supports this but I do not have the allotted room to explain. So, "please pan the nozzle". Anyone?

[mcavoybn]

@hiphopfan77 pan the nozzle means move the nozzle from side to side, like spread whatever you are spraying understand? think of panning like panning stereo music from left to right, or panning a camera.

[KeepCalmHaveCupcakes]

Geeky references in hip hop = awesome.

[dablacnigga]

haha



[SC4PEGO4T]

I fucking love this song. I just got "I float" tattooed on my ribs. It's fucking epic to listen to this now lol.

[shmuckling]

Aesop rock is a beast. Who comes up with stuff like this?

[byf1864]

Quantum physics of hiphop.

[Quyzalitrangle]

@byf1864 Exactly.



[ffxplayer95]

everyone knows about aesop rock. shit up

[ithinkiheardothat]

no hate intended, but it's "hell's orchard". Aes makes a few references about crops and harvests in his Labor Days/Float period

[crunkrocka]

This dude is a virtuoso. He reminds me of early Wu-Tang Clan. It's just simple, basic beats with flow style that is both brilliant and unpredictable.

[TheChimppower]

lyrics are hard as hell to keep up with.... Dx i keep screwing up at the last half of the verse :)

[fookii99]

i feel like this whole albums instrumentals are how my brain works

[EllWood847]

make it rain til the lead be grain? where the fuck did you get that? til the levee breaks bro

[killingweakemcees]

no drake's the greatest it say so in his songs oh and so is lil wayne hahahahahaahahah syke "I paint a portrait of myself, bored life inside the tortoise shell

tortured, orbiting Hell's orchid, intrigued but not compelled

I smell a hint of charred child flesh sweeping through my corridor

more than one canteen, a liquid caffeine and eclipse the slaughters" woooo ha aes

[danceaustindance]

Aesop Fucking Rock = best rapper of this era

[blueearedelephant]

@danceaustindance straight up

[TheZahirNT2]

I mean I get that because of his voice and pacing it's sometimes difficult to pick out his lyrics but some of the mishears are pretty far out there ("Father Tom" instead of Father Time?)

[esfreerider]

can anybody tell me if aesop and rappers like eydea have a genra that describes there music that isnt just called rap??? i feel like there should be another word for it.

[blazeitup420d]

@esfreerider underground/alternative hip-hop

[guyguy513]

I really love MOST of aesop's songs, and it's pretty funny how no one at my school knows about him. He's probably my favorite artist. but honestly, I really don't like this song very much.

[Glapo]

as much as I wanna get into Aesop and like what he does lyrically I can't help but find it almost impossible to get past his delivery.

[nightsd]

@Glapo He's an aquired taste. Keep listening and you'll be able to look past his quirks and maybe enjoy them.

[DPrizm215]

aesop rock has no quirks...

[zunez0rz]

@nightsd I just started listening to this and I love it.

[KillingOptions]

@Glapo Listen to Atmosphere. Try... Fuck You Lucy, Molly Cool, The Abusing Of The Rib, Multiples, Adjust, Scapegoat, or WND. Those are good songs. Slug's awesome, I like Atmosphere more than Aesop.

[cutupyo]

@Glapo listen to 'abandon all hope'.

[ateskone]

@cutupyo thumbs down. abandon all hope is aesop at his worst. it's all about the music for earthworms days.

[brakg]

@ateskone abandon all hope is from music for earthworms days

[ateskone]

@brakg you're right. my bad. i was thinking of none shall pass for some reason. dont know how i confused the two.

[DaMan416]

@ateskone abandon all hope is on music for earthworms? lol And its one of the best on it. I don't know what you mean at worst.

[d2thh725]

@Glapo like caviar

[DjprofesserK]

[JthulhuOne]

this is what's wrong with america. everyone knows fuckin soulja boy an lil wayne, but no one knows about real shit like this

[SeasemeStreetz]

Ahmen!!

[KillingOptions]

@JthulhuOne Honestly, I'd rather have it that way. Aesop and Atmosphere are my favorite to listen to, and I don't want faggot pussies listening to it, because their simple minds can't comprehend the messages they put out.

[ateskone]

@KillingOptions even tho the majority of atmosphere's fans are little highschool girls?

that emo shit is mad played out and anyone that thinks they are some how unique for listening to slug sing about how much he loves and hates lucy for 6 albums is a retard. everyone and their mother has heard about atmosphere. just cause it's not on the radio doesnt mean it's underground.

[MrBboyHP]

@JthulhuOne Same here in Denmark. its a real bitch :(

[ithinkiheardothat]

@JthulhuOne werbs

[jiclejicle0]

@JthulhuOne lets hope it stays that way

[MCSoulComplex]

@JthulhuOne you get two thumbs up!!

[GoodLaxatives]

"I know a walking corpse that spit icicle dagger to slit throat / quicker than you can prove there's four letters in hope"
