Aes is one of those artists who I really respect and appreciate, and bump all the time, but am also grateful that he doesn't take up a lot of space in the rap game, and stays very humble and out of the spotlight. His work speaks for itself, and as he's said before "[He's] been ignored for longer than you've been interested." Kirby is a nice little song about his new cat and its affect on his mental health. The cute antics and dense rhymes are pretty par for Aes, but what really stands out to me about this one is its connection to Shrunk. "Fifteen years taking prescriptions now a shrink like 'Iunno maybe get a kitten?" I have a cat now.
also in my favorite recurring bit, Aes's cat Kirby doesn't just get a whole song about him, he's also featured implicitly on Mindful Solutionism off Integrated Tech Solutions, the hook "Now that is a Powerful Cat" both being a callback to Kirbs but also a reference to the impossibility of putting the cat back into the bag, and the dangers of technology running rampant around us.
I always took “found god in the hamper” as in, the cat found their favorite place, their paradise/Heaven (God’s house)… it just so happens to be the hamper
This cracks me up.. LOL Aesop is all over the place with his lyrical videos. Lots of words. But I love this cat one more than all his other stuff. It's a kitten, who doesn't like kittens? But I am a dog person! Oh my.
I think "frisky moment" is meant literally. As in "lively or playful". It's why the cat food is called that. But as you said, Aesop makes you think too much.
also for some reason i happen to know that Azazel is from Marvel. He's Nightcrawler's dad. I really don't have a lot of patience for comics either, because Azazel is a biblical fallen angel whose name was stolen and hamfistedly crammed onto a character aesthetically designed to invoke demons. Anyway, Aes is saying the cat's game face is demonic, probably.
Azazel was a fallen angel... Just saying. A trickster fallen angel of the Christian bible... All im saying. The comic version was a demon. No hate just saying.
Pretty sure he's referring to crazy kittens can play sometimes. When they run around with zoomies and arch at nothing and just plain old wildcat out. 😂 They look possessed.
First time watching one of this guys video and he put a lot more effort into his reaction video than 98% of reaction channels out there.

One of my first Aesop Rock songs I heard and I was instantly in love.
As a cat person this song is absolute fire, glad you got around to it.

“Greatest of all warriors” could also be a reference to the series “Warriors” it’s a series about cats lol
