I just picture the Grim Reaper from Monty Python's Meaning of Life. "Shut up! You American. You talk and talk and say let me tell you something and can I just say something. Well you're dead now so shut up!" And Aesop proceeds to drop a never ending verse for all of eternity.
Aesop Rock and Sandman have an exquisite way of playing off eachnothers styles, and its apparent they have a mutual respect that shows in how they work together. A rhythem and poetry pair of legends.
This is fuckin colossal. This song is like seeing two sleeping titans from hundreds of miles, away, suddenly stir, but subtly. Aes and sandman are two of the most powerful writers of all time, in any medium.
"cousin to the flat line, I would rather level up than fraternize with magpies" On a power line all in a row from what I can imagine. Aes is brutally clever. Sandman's emergence in emergency was pretty dope. He's unpacking the word while Aesop fills the words, i.e. doozy after doozy after doozy.
oh dang i didnt realize that Lice was a thing. Got new stuff to listen to My only exposure to Homeboy is All Day Breakfast, and i liked the two of them a bit better in that song vs this one. But i gotta check out the other ones now
@@mfkrwill You're gonna have an absolute blast, promise you that! All the projects consist of 5 songs each, you can down them all in an hour. But you'll be left scratching your head, and going for the replay.
Had a friend text our group today telling us we had to listen to Hail Mary Mallon as he had just discovered him. I have since sent him down the Aes Rock rabbit hole.
I find it strange how I went from "what the fuck is this shit" *proceeds to turn off right away* to a legitimate fan of Aesop Rock. I guess I had to graduate first to appreciate his brilliance. I didn't start really liking him until like 2019. I just wasn't ready. As of today I just think Aes is simply making a point. He has to be! There's no way any mere mortal can continuously drop project after project given his abstract style and still come up with new material. I think he's modestly showing us how sharp he is. Never seen a rapper with more wit than this guy. I am in awe at this man's lyrical ability 😳
I first got into him around 2012ish. Skelethon really clicked with me and there was no looking back. You never know what will grab you. I prob listened to that album 50 times before cycles to Gehenna suddenly burrowed into my brain and became my favorite aes song to this day. All it took was one dude quoting coffee lyrics in a dark souls walkthrough video and I was instantly curious. Its funny that even though I've listened to this fool over a decade im still a newb in a lot of fans eyes.
Instant Classic!!! Growing up with the infancy of hip hop 80's and 90's golden NYC era i picture Friday/ Saturday cruising the 'A' or 'J' train and L.E.S with the walkman in summer..watch them dark lit corners @ nite
Rumour has it one time Oloff was sat next to Jar Jar Binks on a flight. Jar Jar kept kicking the chair in front of him and generally being obnoxious, nobody knew what to do. Eventually one of the flight attendants came over and asked Oloff if he would perform one of his songs to calm Jar Jar down, and when Oloff began rapping the first verse to Doing It Stealthy, Jar Jar immediately relaxed. To this day the two are still close friends.
We became absolutely certain the only enemies we wanted was 1vs1 ourselves Nobody to fight but ourselves for a time We learned instead of getting learnt
"every word and every love letter burst into flames" the article i read about this track before hearing it said that HS talked about catfish as in the e-fraud and Aes talked about literal fish but they obv didnt listen very hard cuz Aes does both here on this line in particular, after realizing uve been catfished id imagine 'every word and love letter burst into flames'
Listening from a cold wet winter in Melbourne Australia. Went for a drive and just seen some snow, pants hanging like a thrift store tailored my flow. Back shoe wet and a little bit muddy, built myself a fire and a little covered up cubby. So I say what up from down under but down here we call it up over, buddy.
This just made my day and fuck everything else kinda shit when I saw this on my feed💯. Would been dope if it was at 6am on my way to work but all is good for the ride home💯. Thank you AES and Sand for blessing us with another masterpiece😃. Much love and support always.
Lice isn't on Spotify because none of their work is monetized. I actually appreciate what they do; making people wake up. Instead of letting them pay for a subscription, or get some free shit with ads, expecting that you'll be given what you're looking for. They make people search for what they love. You want something? You gotta go get that shit. Buy a cd and support the cause directly. Otherwise, keep swiping... And if you love the work, you'll tell your friends they should fuck with this shit. Word of mouth is still the most effective and most honest form of marketing. Fuck Spotify.
@@philtorrez4198 you can fuck Spotify all you want, but it's the main way people bump music nowadays. I bought Impossible Kid from Aes years ago, but don't have the finances to support all my favorite artists every time. I do however have $7 a month to listen to Spotify. And while I agree that music platforms massively underpay artists, I'm not going back to downloading UA-cam audio and converting it to MP3, or hitting up Limewire. I'm relegated to listening on UA-cam now, and while that's not too hard to do, it's just messy to have some songs here and some there. And now I'm back to having ads. Though, I respect what you're saying, and in a perfect world I could buy every single Aes album. And yes, word of mouth is still king.
@@McArRuIzO Agreed. You can preach all you want, and most will likely agree, but at the end of the day I sadly need to spend money on things like rent and groceries. I was actually at a Deca + Homeboy Sandman show recently in Boston, and I was smoking a cigarette after the show with Deca, and I mentioned I had first heard of him on Spotify. He said "Yeah, you know, a lot of people shit on Spotify, and rightly so, but I can't deny that they've done me a lot of favors." I help out where I can in terms of buying albums and merch directly from artists, but I'm not gonna cancel my Spotify subscription of 13+ years because of it. I have discovered too much new music to just let it go. Plus with being able to curate playlists and download music to listen to offline, the convenience far outweighs the desire to "stick it to the man," so to speak.
If you consider "Ask Anyone" (their tribute to MF DOOM) , "Lice Team Baby" (from Homeboy Sandmans album Anjelitu) and now "Catfish", they are halfway to Lice 4!!!
"Reaper knocking at me through the diner glass, invite him in, yes I know the die is cast, now try the grits"
Aes never ceases to amaze me
Equally as stunned, even after so many years.
It's like he just continuously gets better.... and better.... and better...
I just picture the Grim Reaper from Monty Python's Meaning of Life. "Shut up! You American. You talk and talk and say let me tell you something and can I just say something. Well you're dead now so shut up!"

The die isn’t cast till death
I’ve been listening to Aes for about twenty years and the man has yet to release a song that I didn’t love.
This man sounds hungrier the older he gets

Same. Bought bazooka tooth for the artwork... Rofl
Shout out to all the multi-decade fans of Aesop and Hail Mary
This song is beyond dope I did a fan made music video with lyrics for it one of my new favorites added to my Playlist

That was obvious from the first words on the track

Aesop is the goat idgaf what anyone says.
never expected a song with either of these two to have little to no percussion through it’s entire length , it sounds wonderful
All day breakfast is pretty much little to no percussion. I haven't heard this yet, waiting for the premiere.
Dude how’d you hear the song 9 hours before it’s debut?

It's a different realm listening to them
this is crazy… i JUST finished listening to all 3 Lice projects and was thinking mannn, i need some new lice
don't forget to check out "All Day Breakfast" by Aes feat. Homeboy. It's an honorary Lice.

This is neat. Kudos to the whole RS family for their consistent stellar content. Y'all keep real hip hop alive.
Super neato…
Would really love to gain as many Rymesayers fans as fans as possible- lmk if you ever see this and decide to tune in 🙏
Hail Aesop! And Mary Mallon of course🥰
My favorite duo in all of rap. So excited for more
I love you Aesop Rock 🥰

The fish don’t miss! Aes and sandman blessing the mic is something special, once again.
Yes

Hit em again! Hit em again!

LICE GOOOOOOOOO
Aes on rhymes, Sand on rhymes. I’m bugging’ for this one!
I literally yelped when "Rappers don't know Diddley 'bout me, I'm a blues man" clicked for me.
Katz better show up hours early, pitch a tent and wait like it's a new release...
Katz is getting itchy, fifteen minutes 'til the clinic opens.

Man, are you on a ride, been in your shoes five years ago, never looked back since.
HS really flows like Evidence on this one, I really like it!
that little sample at the end is golden
🧮
Bumping some Lice while I'm covered in fleas from the katz around my block. Life is good, even if a little itchy.
This makes me want to throw money at them!!
Just made my whole week amazing!!
Homeboy-S got that old-school Sticky Fingaz vibe in this one.

They're available for pre-order rn!
Pick up all 3 for pre-order.
Dope shirts too
That's what raw hip hop sounds like 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒
they have answered!
Love how the beat never drops but this still bangs 💥
This reminds me of yoohoo. Completely flawless.
HBS has improved with each successive project. Top tier MC.
Aes Is the 🐐 but give Homeboy his flowers.
Road to Damascus, huh?🤩🔥

Catfish is the perfect name for this song since my ass thought i was getting a new Lice EP, not a promo one-off track!!!
"If you want it, you could get it through your thick skull..."😂
I met Oloff at a supermarket once and asked him ''How did you write Doing It Stealthy?'' he didn't answer, he was too busy paying for his asparagus.
Yeeeessss!!!
these two are unmatched in their lane, NEW LICE.
Just seen homeboy in concert was sick affff
I wouldn't mind getting 3 more Lice tapes, not at all 🕺🕺🕺
