He's on another level 😊
His 'In Case of Emergency' is in the daisies chasing birds - Kirby!
Great job - I am loving your videos!
Literally the entire discography of Aesop Rock is worth going through. Once just hearing it straight, and then a second listen with the lyrics pulled up.
You need to listen to this song like 100 times and you'll still pick up on new things
@TheBigBadWolf is right, yes, 3 verses to describe 3 different stages of his visit. The first part is cute cause it gives a nod to Kirby (my in case of emergency contact is in the daisies chasing birds) but ultimately, you're never going to truly know who Aes is. His first name is ever changing, his last name is infinite and everything else is so layered and hidden, you're just never going to know this man more than what he gives you. The second verse is him sitting in the waiting room, stoned, and just taking everything in around him. And yeah, the last verse is him with the psychiatrist but despite all his complaints, he's a part of the system he's criticizing - he's shrunk, he can't do anything about it.
He takes a word like Sudoku (lines of 9, like a SSN) and it'll seem clever on the surface, but then you look it up and learn "abbreviated from the Japanese suuji wa dokushin ni kagiru, which means 'the numbers (or digits) must remain single'". So his "social" is gaming (alone), or just anti-social, or as he put it in another song "how to wave with 10% of his fingers", the old single-digit salute Look up seppuku, and it adds ideas of gut-spilling, beheading, killing your self (ego, in this case) to spare others dishonor or capture or worse. Going through the oven like the coal or burger-meat is meant to change you, for the better.
He never actually says the word Sudoku though, he just puts it in the video around the time he says Seppuku. So he's adding stuff like that just into the video, at a time where it's appropriate, the waiting room.
@@breteady2166 He says it in the first verse, the vid shows it later.
I love the aesop reactions, you def got it right this ones about going to therapy and his struggle with it. The first verse is paperwork. Second is the waiting room and third is the session. Great reaction, I'd love to see more, you should react to the classic None Shall Pass, Rings if you haven't, maybe Dorks, MysteryFish, maybe Tuesday... really anything, I'll be here for it!
I believe this was filmed at Ground Control, which is an arcade based in Portland Oregon
I think 'She called my name out and pushed me into an oven' is a Hansel and Gretel bar. He's comparing the receptionist at the psychiatrist's office to an evil forest witch.
I thought it could be him being in the "hot seat", having to answer some tough questions. Or, it could simply be because it's a super tiny and hot room, akin to an oven.
Lost it at "oh shit." 🤣 You weren't ready. I never am either lol.
I'd like lyric-video analysis of Aesop Rock's Battery.
The emergency contact is in the daisies chasing birds. It's his cat, kirby
Nice spot!! 👀👀
In Grand Rapids, MI there is a bar with a classic arcade, then a doorway leading to a midsize live music venue, called Pyramid Scheme. It's pretty cool!
This and Kirby are the last two parts of a trilogy at the center of Aesop's album The Impossible Kid. In this, he goes to therapy, and in Kirby, he talks about his cat, after his therapist suggested he get one (so he'd have something to take care of, and show affection to, etc., etc.). The first part, immediately leading into Shrunk, is called Get Out of the Car, and it's about sitting in his car, outside the therapist's office.
Nah. He already has Kirby in this song. That's his "In Case Of Emergency in the daisies chasing birds".
"after a couple years or two...I don't do those."
*Paraphrasing*
and if you notice.. even when he wins, he has to insert coins. A play on how even when therapy goes well, you still have to pay to come again..
There's no music video but... So Strange Here - Lice (Aesop Rock & Homeboy Sandman)
Dude listen to Holy Smokes next, it's an absolute masterpiece of his that has a coherent theme even first listen through. It has some vulgarity to it tho, so be forewarned.
If you want something more difficult to figure out but has some badass flow then go with Prosperity. It's off his first album Float and that album is when his material was the absolute tip-top of archaic prose.
Generally speaking with Aesop, his stuff gets more intelligible as his albums become newer and newer. That being said, he has a couple of songs that are just straight-forward killers and tell front to back stories. The best example of that is Lucy.
Holy Smokes was my introduction, from another disillusioned kid raised Catholic. Hit just right. I made my friend burn me his discog that night. Kinda ruined 99.9% of all other lyricism to this day. I don't think anyone's reacted to that one.
That's kind of a beauty of aesop Rock. We're all just trying to understand
He’s got a song called “holy smokes” if you want his thoughts on religion
Yo check out Aesop Shere Kahn, Pumpkin Seeds and Flamingo Pink. All super dope songs from 1997 to Now.
Fun fact: He says at the end ''I should have called the Scholomance''.
I didn't know what that meant so I googled it. Turns out the Scholomance was a fkn Hogwarts type thing, ran by the devil. IN MY OWN COUNTRY. And I had no idea about it till Aesop told me. That's how learned this man is.
also, fk Sneako.
The last minute “fuck Sneako” caught me off guard 😂😂
@@DreamersDreamBig Not gonna lie, it caught me off guard too when I re-read it right now xD
Aesop Rock - Untouchable
I don't think it has any reactions on youtube, and it's a pretty damn good song. You're doing great, don't worry.
Codename: yo son, chill!
Check out malibu ken if you like aesop
Not that hard homie it’s just abt therapy and how sometimes therapy doesn’t help in the way u want it to
lol this is true hip hop not this new school rap
