It only took me 68 listens to The Impossible Kid to notice the song sequence theme of “Get Out the Car” (about not wanting to see his shrink) then “Shrunk” about his meeting with the shrink & then “Kirby” is about the cat his shrink told him to get.
I literally got a cat 5 years ago because of this song and she has indeed been good for my mental health - her name’s not Kirby but I sing her this song all the time anyway hahaha 😻
We got 2 new kittens last spring (still have one old one that's beyond her expiration date), and hearing my daughter say "Heeeeeeeey, kitten" never fails to make me smile.
:-: Mother Sucking.... Yessss.... Love watching people with Aes.. My Daughter absolutely Loves this Track.. Much Love frfr for this.. More should tune into this dude.. Absolutely changed my view and ear on listening to Hip Hop. The Underground is where its all at..
It's MrWaCK!!! Love you dude! Aesop Rock is the Greatest Of All Space-Time (cuz technically space and time are the same thing, they shouldn't be thought of as separate things according to physicists) which makes him the GOAST of the industry! Which is technically true. He is like a ghost to mainstream. Aes is criminally slept on. Then again he could be hailed as the greatest by everyone on earth and still it would leave him underrated...
The Impossible Kid as a whole album is full of Aesop's memories and struggles with himself. In an earlier track called Shrunk he raps about his 1 on 1 with a psychologist he's not particularly happy with going to see and is almost combative against her questions, thinking she's just in it for the money she cant actually understand him. Kirby comes along later in the album as sort of a "well nobody ever suggested this before, it could work", that's where the whole "15 years taking prescriptions now a shrink like 'Iunno maybe get a kitten'" line came from. He literally did, and it worked so well he slapped this together. Catharsis.
Easiest Aesop song to understand bc it’s literally just about his cat. The others you gotta really listen to like 40 times and you’ll still pick out new parts.

Yea, it was wild, when it came out....felt the same....head tilted trying to analyze it...and suddenly it all clicks together 😁
I didn't realise until just now

Just about everything from rhyme sayers is fire.

Talking about life with a Cat, it's such a simple story but he just puts it in BARZ 😁
Please react to "Zodiaccupuncture." It's a bit of a deeper cut in Aesop's catalog but it's fantastic. He rides the living shit out of the beat.
one of the greatest lyricists EVER..This is one of the "easier" to decipher songs haha. A vibe is right
THANK YOU FAM!
As always love listening to songs I haven’t heard before this was fun
👍❤️👍🇨🇦✌🏻
Biggest vocab in hiphop. Aesop Rock is amazing.

My daughter loves this song cause who doesn't love a rap about a kitty.
Check out long legged Larry by Aesop rock, it’s a similar type of fun song by him

You can never go wrong with more Aesop. Try out one of his older tracks "No Jumper Cables" off of Bazooka Tooth.
