Aesop Rock - Holy Smokes

[rickrastardly]

greatness

[toof]

Churches so easily become rotten. They are the dank refuge of pedophiles and narcissists. People use churches to hide from themselves the filth they have inside that they can't be bothered to deal with. I know it ...94' moved out and ain't seen a steeple since ....yup...that's me...

[johnybob2232]

WTF WHAT HAPPENED TO THE VERY END?!?!?!?!?!

[debtbully3]

Aesop is!!God is a verb!!

[thatoldganon]

@insideoutpantaloons My God, someone thinks like me. O_O

[000HEL]

if there is or isnt a god i still think life is pointless but so is death just enjoy the ride

but not at other peoples expense everyone should have a chance at life

[yesRADD]

this song is too fucking good for words

[necronomicon009]

This is one of my favorite hip-hop songs done by any underground MC. My favorite line, "By the time I was old enough to know what religion was, I was Catholicism numb and truly didn't give a FUCK!"

I was raised Catholic and felt that exact same way growing up. I left the church and now I despise the Catholic church and organized religion in general.

[OolabaSwa]

@necronomicon009 I feel that is the life I am veering towards now.

[3rdITrip]

"Christmas morning smelled fresher than angel pussy" hahaha, aes is a fool for that

[PureTeenageIgnorance]

FUCK this is awesome.

[Hichigo369]

1 person afraids of GOD aka DOG

[ibates1616]

Im athiest and respect people's believes. I never make fun of them I just say what I think when they ask me.

[ViktorVaughnVillain]

I got NEW SHIT comin at the real heads. VV:3, Vindictive Villain. West Coast tour to boot. Keep ya eyes peeled for the first video to drop, DOPEST SKILLEST with GZA and my man A Plus.

PEACE

[ahhimazombie]

give him one of these pills if he has any pain

best beat ever

best lyrics ever

best rapper ever

[crudomundo]

you cannot pay you're bills with holy water and hail may luck.

that stairway to heaven's merely a legend so the peasant's dream well.

I suggest you watch (zeitgeist) Chapter one The greatest story ever told.

don't be afraid to think outside the church! The majority is just scared of

going to hell so they believe with blindfolds and follow the leader.

I heard people are jumping of the Pasadena bridge you can join them.

I'll be watching the line get shorter with my cigarettes,beer and weed.

[darphinparis]

the guy under me has no life

[7barbs7]

@darphinparis i want to vote this up but then it wouldn't make scene ha ha ha

[Stinkko]

angelz are never female.... aesop check your doctrinal understanding

& halos come from catholic art not the bible

[smurfedalottasmurf]

@Stinkko still wont remove the paradoxical stains of the bible and its teachings

[Stinkko]

yeah i understand your a little confused, and your not an a hole, cause in the bible jesus explains that not everyone will get these parables

i used to find no value in emotion or spiritual things i know religion is not what anyone needs, neither is judgment or direction alot of the time...

god is many things, and god is love

we need love. love never fails. and the love of god is perfect.

its not about organization, people are evil everyone is, and if you read the bible this would beclear

[xXClassic]

@Stinkko i think you are the confused one... open your eye's its 2010 why believing in something where you dont know shit about and dedicate your life to it ? Religion isnt a fact or any advantage, only thing it is :: a huge delay in the development of this world

Only thing we need is technologie and sience and if you dont believe that? than get off your PC and pray for the SUN. Thats the only thing your religion is about. and dont make up shit like god is love. I Gt plenty love w rationality

[DrunkIrishSoldier]

@xXClassic

I think it would help to be able to spell too. :|

On the flip, aren't you just as bad as those you speak against? Instead of a God, you worship "technologie and sience."

[xXClassic]

@DrunkIrishSoldier get off your fucking PC mate.

[RaaM1871]

@xXClassic I've heard religion gives some people hope.

[xXClassic]

@RaaM1871 Indeed..... i heard that those people are scared for the NOW and are 0,0% realistic.

Spirituality vision = the key.

[TheHipHopopotomus]

Okay..I dont have to do this but I will. Aes was sayin in this song that the way Jesus taught and lived is so contrary to what we as a society push on people as "right". Not having a good example for the lost keeps them lost (He said on Bent Life from Labor Days-"I let bygones be bygones but tryin to see eye to eye with the faceless just aint working the way the manual paints it") Hypocrisy and heresy divides the people, as evident in the posts I have read. Look deeper and find truth yall! Love

[Stinkko]

@TheHipHopopotomus well put thanks!

hey listen to timothy brindle and shai linne you will appreciate them!

o & steven the levite

[happymessS]

I like this. Being able to be free to basically say "I DON'T FUCKING GET IT. BELIEVE? WHY DON'T YOU MAKE ME BELIEVE?" Fucking epic song.

[bleachboy100]

holly smokes one of my favorite songs by Aesop

[1A1ANONYMOUS1A1]

"Ill be auditioning gods in my office on Monday morning" that shit is sick

[chj2]

@1A1ANONYMOUS1A1 CLASSIC line - reminds me, in a round-about way of that song by Arrested Development called, "Fishing For Religion".

[blankchexTHC]

did you come? I did!

[Died1000deaths]

Gotta agree with xxcostello187xx

There's a big difference there between institutionalized religion and personal spirituality.

[ScruffyBueno]

religion isn't for me... when I hear an artist like aesop speak about not understanding religion it makes me feel good! All the people who push religion on everybody drives me insane

[msnikish1]

me too and some of them seem creepy to me

[xxcostello187xx]

I think he's going for a message like, how most sects of christianity and other religions have twisted religion to fit their own agendas. IMO

[baghead83]

agreed

[MyDormantSoul]

@ScruffyBueno thats because aesop is a marxist. He has a vendetta against religion. I get pissed just as much when people try to push atheism on us. It works both ways dude.

[moss824]

@ScruffyBueno Same here...check out Greydon Square!

[ScruffyBueno]

@moss824 Yo, I checked out Greydon Square... That dude has some good shit to listen to man. Thanks for hitting me up

[gobucs438]

@ScruffyBueno yeah dude im religious but i dont push on anyone it pisses me off when people do it you know like to each his own dont push yourself on others

[ScruffyBueno]

@gobucs438 yea bro, no point in an argument either huh. Thanks for the comment and keep banging that A Fucking sop Rock!

[AlexIsSmalll]

@gobucs438 agreed. makes other good religious people look bad. however many atheists shoot religion down every chance they get also

[mirrorgarrett]

@AlexIsSmalll dont sterotype athiests. critize the fools

[b3tr4y4l]

@ScruffyBueno couldn't agree more.

[cancerXus]

AESOP!!! - Favorite artist.

[lovingit289]

obsessed

[psilopath]

great song.

[freshhqoonie]

yeah this song has a lot of subliminal messages.

hahhaa favorite line

"christmas morning smelled fresher than angel pussy"

yeahh aesop is sick. this is my personal favorite.

[WaterChip4012]

Funny thing, i got into aesop and that particular line totally applied to my reality. That's crazy.

[ugene1975]

1 of my all time favs. from him.........

[Padooshka]

this blockhead beat is ill made.

[Murdexxx]

the beat is irelevant if the man behind it is a genious.

[Cloax]

best Aesop song period.

check my profile for some fatty underground shit.

peace from Chicago, smoke weeeeeeed

[RYVL]

word and word.

[thebearblunt]

Nice!

[lncypress3]

its aesops story about his experience w/ the church, a speak out on the evils of the catholic church, a bit on ritualistic abuse, and whatever else you want to hear.

[TwiggStone]

Audition Gods

[SosoKoba]

Comments on here make aesop's fans look like idiots

I really don't think aesop is saying "FUCK CATHOLICISM," so much as pointing certain issues within the church that never seemed right to him.

fucking faggots

[TK7469]

maybe why he is saying fuck catholicism, hes definatly not saying "well cotholicism is aight but i dont agree with it all" bitch

[itenburgle]

So I think America is finally turning aethiest or...non-religious rather wich is pretty fucking awesome

Someday we'll figure out how the universe came to be instead of just guessing LOL

[91MJoy]

I couldn't have said it better myself. :-)

[mattisonfire]

globally, faith in Jesus is on the rise.

we have a pretty good idea of the history of the early universe through current cosmology, and the issue is that the universe came to be at a point in the finite past. So the question is why, what explains that? This isn't a question we can ask within physics, because its about what can account for the conditions that make physics possible. Science points to a cause which is beyond space and time, which set the physical constants of our universe.

[itenburgle]

yes, globally, that is why I say America

And truthfully I completely agree with you that is the question we need to answer and there are several theories that attempt to do so. Also I believe that it is quite possible there is a god. My problem with religion is that alot of the followers don't recognize their belief as a theory insteaed they see it as truth

I believe people don't know enough yet to decide how the universe was created but we can make educauted guesses based off what we do know.

[TheCandleBrother]

haha your retarded

[d0ct0rm0d]

@rememberbeherenow

never said better...

[Sugadaddy774]

Catholicism is quite ridiculous. Not only has the church been wrought with controversy and scandals for hundreds of years now it still insists on spreading ignorance.

Current Example: hearing the Pope making claims that condoms are ineffective and should not be used just made me sick. Stupid bastard peddling false claims to inspire an outcome that fits his belief system.

[mperez1977]

Catholicism is simply man made

certain rules for certain people

some do this

some aren't allowed to do that

as many people that exists

diffrent thoughts, religions, and beliefs follow

[Sugadaddy774]

Catholicism is serious business.

[darphinparis]

if you think about that bible phrase, its saying that we are god, and if we help are self or other people we are helping him.

[u15a]

no you are a fuckin idiot go lick your mothers cunt lips you pussy ass faggot

[darphinparis]

your a fag....typing to say that

[lncypress3]

i think this quote is more about if you do evil things 2 people u do evil things to god. thats why later in the song aesop talks about 'another sinning brick in hells basement'

[Stinkko]

@darphinparis lol WRONG!!

do a little more research

[hottbloodead]

yeaaahhhhhhh.

[bbfilmsclips]

What instrument is playing after the first line?

[scottfreethe1st]

skin flute

[jimbazfog]

palm organ

[loves2board1]

dam! they cut out the ending! it is so funny

[MINUSoTHEoBEAR]

actually aesop, your a fucking asshole

[groaler]

I was all Catholic n shit til i was like 12

then after a while i was like "o shit I'm gonna die sometime"

Then I was like fuck it i like to sleeo

[officialtrash]

"Catholicism is simply being nice to others"

Oh goodness...... Wow. I'm speechless. Ummm. Hmm.... Well.

[glennd4nz1g]

you dont even know your belief properly...

"Catholicism is simply being nice to others" ?? haha yeah.. your're an idiot.

[FullBlownSkeptic]

anus butthole silver dollar nigger purp nipple

[metalhead7443]

Indeed.

[billgermany2000]

m y space. com /darf

[u15a]

why do people feel liek they have to quote the song in there comment?

[KingDonko]

People suck. They're fundamentally retarded. There's no hope for the human race. And nothing makes it more abundantly clear than the internet, specifically youtube comments. Kill me now.

[u15a]

indeed my friend

[Hulmaldo]

There's nothing wrong with quoting as long as you say something else too. Dunno why people only put quotes on!

By the time I was old enough to know what religion was, I was Catholicism numb, and truly didn't give a FUCK!

I relate to that!

[u15a]

right like i could relate to that too....see now here is a productive comment....getting people engaged in the lyrics

[Stinkko]

@KingDonko my hope is in christ alone

[Jughand]

when people quote lyrics there implying that "whatever lyric" was amazing and they are expressing there joy for that line specifically. expecting more lengthy/deep discussion on a youtube comments page of an aesop rock song is retarded.

[hieroc21]

aesop at his best.

[sLeDnEcK509]

crazy shit man

[conservburq]

give him one of these pills if he has any pain

[sk8bordB7]

ill be auditioning gods in my office monday morning. thats bananas b!

[iorbit]

I need a couple A's for Q's, I'm not an asshole I'm just a little confused.

[yugo91aesop]

christmas morning smelt fresher the angel pussy

haha what a beast

[ChrisBlaQ]

Aesop's delivery is a+ in this track

[rememberbeherenow]

To quote somebody, religion is for people who feel that THEY NEED TO BE TOLD WHAT TO DO, whereas spirituality is when people KNOW WHAT TO DO, and recognize that there is a force that exists (known by many names)that is behind everything and intertwines everything cosmically. Religion is also controlled by, and was instituted by CONQUERORS. <-----Well Put

[118abc]

definitly one of Aes's finest moments

[dichroic1979]

SUCH agood song!.. one of my fav. Aes masterpieces... "to be completely honest Aesop you're a fucking asshole"... ;)... shouldn't have cut the last line though.. ;)

[ak47mustang]

this man is fucking profound

[y0oho0]

straight FIRE

[ReMz060]

one word...NICE

[chj2]

This dude's voice sounds like Gift of Gab's from Blackalicious. He's kickin' some serious knowledge; real talk - gots to give him his respect. To quote somebody, religion is for people who feel that THEY NEED TO BE TOLD WHAT TO DO, whereas spirituality is when people KNOW WHAT TO DO, and recognize that there is a force that exists (known by many names)that is behind everything and intertwines everything cosmically.

[MyDormantSoul]

@chj2 What you're talking about is Luciferianism just so you know... From a christian's perspective you are being deceived by satan's doctrine of self gratification rather than collective gratification, (christianity), the belief that is meant to help others, rather than one's self, via moral law. Im not a chrisitan or anything, but its just interesting how the revelations prediction of the Luciferian religion, is looking like its coming true.

[chj2]

@MyDormantSoul So what are you trying to say - that I'm cool with Satanism? You don't know me, dude. For starters, I'm constantly putting others before myself and I am more worried about the collective being taken care of than my own - QUITE the opposite of some Luciferian. What is Luciferian is the political, academic, and religious construct that controls this country - and how those in power keep idolizing one of the most depraved institutions in history - the Roman Empire.

[Jordyjg]

@chj2 well said, if you know it, you feel it, if you feel it, you know it.

[schlachtkoerper]

fuckin great!

[bemjamin]

Silent Hill 1 samples? you mean the game?

[AezRizzle]

Yeah eff these religious hypocrits. btw.: are these silent hill 1 samples?

[gofaqyosef]

amazing track

[Masternunu]

dope.
