The part that goes "Yes Yes ya'll and ya don't stop, keep on till the break of dawn" is taken from the Digital Underground song "A Tribute to the Early Days" from their album Sex Packets. It was a cassette only bonus track. However the actual phrase goes all the way back to the Early Days of Hip Hop variations of the phrase have been used from pioneers such as Grand Master Caz of the Child Crush Brothers. But it has its origin with Father of Hip Hop DJ Kool Herc.
You should do Oxygen.. A classic that is always overlooked.
i feel like hitting this track so late in your dive into Aesop is unprecedented and all the better. It's one of his best known tracks and earliest singles. Definitely a different vibe from the more recent albums but it's dense and beautiful in a unique way. Highly recommend you check out None Shall Pass as well, maybe his most dense and esoteric.
Good call on the critiques of American society. Labor Days isn't just the title of the album, but also its mission statement, its overarching theme. It's an explicitly anticapitalist record.
"When your front lawns spangled with epitaphs." Epitaph is a grave. Saying your yards gonna be covered in Graves like the flags covered in stars. With the covered wagon line previously, definitely a reference to the westward expansion of the early US. As they moved west the flag became more "star spangled" as more states were discovered and added to the union. Considering the immense lose of human life along the way the epitaph line is appropriate.
Damn bro I didn't digest that until reading your comment. Makes sense
The epitaph is the inscription on the grave, but you're right about the stars increasing with the graves, marking the lives lost. Especially those too poor for even gravestones, that built railroads, dug canals, grew the crops, etc., or those killed just because they were in the way of "progress", that are unremembered by history.
I link it to the chorus of "9-5ers' Anthem", too. If this society we're creating died and had a family graveyard, what would the epitaphs say about our labors? Did we help more than we harmed? Did (could?) we the American population fight our own causes, or were we just used as tools for someone else's profit?
@@ju4408 I think most Americans are content to watch there empire grow while they read about it from the safety of headlines and newspapers unfortunately. Sometimes I wonder if a mandatory military service period would change this perspective. It's so easy to support or ignore our atrocious action across the globe when most of us don't know what it's like to hear an AK round snap overhead.
First Aes song I ever heard. This was my introduction into lesser know rappers. Takes me back man.
Ong it's fire vro
Bro
Ayye lonng time no see
Yeah this is a younger Aes where he's a little less refined in his flow. He's still spittin but not as controlled as his later albums. Hes kinda similar to Deltron in his flow and voice at this time, but this shows how insanely skilled he was early on
Mans has always been a poet
@@Therealnoshoes STOKED 4 NIGHTLIGHT & heard it 1000+.. @10:05 b4 None Shall Pass (2007), his music was his activism, his beacon call, tattoos on his forearms are, 'Must Not Sleep. Must Warn Others'(Commencement @ Obedience Academy) THEN COFFEE CAME OUT w/ LYRIC 'I'm just GONNA LIE IN A MORGUE HIDING & Bored '.. MY HEART BROKE. I KNEW WE aka HUMANITY HAD FAILED HIM. WE HAD NOT SOUGHT DEPTH OR MEANING, OR BEAUTY. so after a decade of all his heart in it, i feel he started writing more for himself, still creates the most amazing things ever created, but not aching to save us as much!
"Red bricks turn yellow", it took me awhile but I came to the conclusion that they're pissing themselves from fear, therefore turning the bricks yellow. It sounds gross but, he mentions piss in a lot of his songs - you'll notice if you look for it.
I'll be goin back for that for sure
It's a Wizard Of Oz reference lmao
