I listened to Lupe, DOOM , Cambatta then I come back to Aes and i scratch my head as reluctance loses grip. Aes is just undeniably on a different planet. He just keeps ascending
I feel ya, I'm still going through them all on repeat over and over trying to find my favorites, it's hard to choose but been loving Living Curfew and Solid Gold, they are going to be in my top 5 off this one
Man…. This may be the best beat Aesop has ever made. The first beat is fucking fantastic, then it drops into that vocal loop beat. It’s absolutely haunting. 10/10 track. One of his best period. All the effects and the synth on the hook too. Sheesh. Just can’t get over how well produced this album is.
I def agree dope description, this beat is dope it’s like composed well or something and the beginning is the most catchiest thing in recent times and they all flow together somehow. Not all rapper/producers can do both consistently but when they do and find their sound it feels like game over !
Such a hard hitting line, as a fentanyl addict with 1.5 yes clean. I ODd so many times only to freak out at the hospital about where i was gonna go get more cause my pockets got ran thru by some other addicts before the EMTs got to me
i know this is Aes's album but billy absolutely stole this track lol. that ending imagery, of going outside in the morning to try and clear your mind of your own shit, and then seeing a woman pick up a dead bird and shove it in her purse, god damn that is THE vibe aes should produce a billy woods album, his production is getting insane and he should share it with the world
@@montlejohnbojangles8937The imagery in his verse is crazy. He literally paints pictures with his words. (I probably wrote this sentence in a grade 8 essay, but it's true!)
Damn!! Killer track! That beat and flow switch was nasty. Billy Woods crushed his verse as well. I never heard of him before this track...kinda gave me Killah Priest vibes
I remember watching an all gas no brakes (idk what it's called anymore, channel 4?) about fentanyl and they said there's no songs about the crisis and I'm like uhhhhh this song is a beautiful depiction of the way drugs have affected our communities thanks.
that kim jung gi line, man. *praaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssssssssssseeeeeeeeee* Love it, man, and your growth as a VISUAL artist, on top of your refinement as a musician and writer. Always keeping me on my toes. S'cool, I been doing squats and leg stretches for drawing shots, I can handle it lololol Procreate Dreams is soooooooon, can't wait to see what you gonna do :P
I thought I pick my favorite track, but it keeps changing ! That's how you know you're listening to a future classic album. Aes, you have out did yourself this time, chief.
Man, this is another level Jumpstart engine, light candles Like a circus devil This track is a one of a kind Wheels grinde like mind Unfold unwined mankind Behind
Easily the best track. That change up in the chorus is what made it Flawless! Of course Aes and Billy Woods were great in the track. BIG UPS AESOP! ✊ 🙌
You could take over the world with this beat. That drop, oh that drop, I want to melt, and let's not forget the lyrics. Peacock baby, peacock, you've definitely earned it!!!

That beat switch is godlike
❤❤❤❤
it really is. The way Aes changed up his delivery to match it was flawless as well. That verse gave me chills lol
That rizz
Billy woods did not disappoint
@ddtpumks11racingYOOO😂😂😂😂 MAJOR FACTS
ever
Never has never will
He rarely does.
who else would love to see a full Billy woods and Aesop Rock collab album?
I would love a billy woods x Aesop Rock album and a Busdriver x Aesop rock album
this sounds sick honestly. this song put me onto billy woods
I listened to Lupe, DOOM , Cambatta then I come back to Aes and i scratch my head as reluctance loses grip. Aes is just undeniably on a different planet. He just keeps ascending
This might be my favorite track on the album... so much gold to choose from.
strong agree!
I feel ya, I'm still going through them all on repeat over and over trying to find my favorites, it's hard to choose but been loving Living Curfew and Solid Gold, they are going to be in my top 5 off this one
This is so awesome. I love you Aesop . I've never needed music like I do right now. Its amazing I can't even describe the awesomeness.
I know its hard to choose there all so fuggen good. I do love this one for when Billy woods comes in on that deep breath shit is from the soul.
Ummmm...Lets get a Aesop Rock x Billy Woods collabo project. This was absolutely perfect. The chemistry on this track is magic.
I need that! 🔥
Pure magic 😅
Harvest results
Lol this comment is why I hate rap shows
I think Billy Woods has a few Aes features on his albums and Blockhead has done production on a few of his albums as well
They DO come back from the dead and buy it again. I cannot get enough of this song. Thank you for this.
Man…. This may be the best beat Aesop has ever made. The first beat is fucking fantastic, then it drops into that vocal loop beat. It’s absolutely haunting. 10/10 track. One of his best period. All the effects and the synth on the hook too. Sheesh. Just can’t get over how well produced this album is.
His flow on both parts is immaculate too. Dude really knows how to make his drums & melody fit his rapping
I def agree dope description, this beat is dope it’s like composed well or something and the beginning is the most catchiest thing in recent times and they all flow together somehow.
Not all rapper/producers can do both consistently but when they do and find their sound it feels like game over !
Dude, I couldn't agree more. Aes' best album, production wise. 5/7
@@whoisjarid 5 out of 7? 😝
@@Track_id the highest score you can give
"Fentanyl in the pack, if they could they'd come back from the dead... AND BUY IT AGAIN!!" 🔥🔥
Too raw
Hardest line on the entire track.
Such a hard hitting line, as a fentanyl addict with 1.5 yes clean. I ODd so many times only to freak out at the hospital about where i was gonna go get more cause my pockets got ran thru by some other addicts before the EMTs got to me
This makes me feel like Im discovering music all over again!!!
This makes me feel like I am discovering literature again.
each flow, the transition, that soul full breath in before the hook shit is beautiful.
i know this is Aes's album but billy absolutely stole this track lol. that ending imagery, of going outside in the morning to try and clear your mind of your own shit, and then seeing a woman pick up a dead bird and shove it in her purse, god damn that is THE vibe
aes should produce a billy woods album, his production is getting insane and he should share it with the world
What a great fucking beat.
Bro 🤯🥵🔥Beat of the Year!!!
This man made a Kim Jung Gi reference in a rap song, he knows no bounds.
R.I.P Jung Gi
Holy smokes i literally just woke up as this droppes, i have great timing
Holy smokes by Aesop Rock, is an absolute banger. Did you know that
Cannot pay your bills with holy water and hail Mary luck
@@firinne Call me crazy but I bet that wasn't God's demeanor!
Octillian lumins is a hella Lotta lumins
..that breakdown slaaaaaaps, when the beat kicks back in I fell in love. Perfect amount of tension.
My favorite track on the album. The album is amazing. Always an Original. Billy Woods is great on the track too.
what a beautiful song
The back-and-forth features of this and Aes on Billy's "Waiting Around" are peak.
Flow for daysssss
this is otherworldly.
this is incredible. Billy woods delivered and then some. Honestly though Aesops second verse is completely flawless , It actually gave me chills lol.
As soon as I heard that beat switch, I knew Woods was gonna murder. My favorite song on here.
Dude is just on fire. His flow is incredible, the emotion and intensity is just chef's kiss.
@@montlejohnbojangles8937The imagery in his verse is crazy. He literally paints pictures with his words. (I probably wrote this sentence in a grade 8 essay, but it's true!)
Reminds me of late 2000s Aesop. This is bad ass. He literally sounds 30 in this even.
oh man wow... some tracks just give you shivvers
It is absolutely beautiful
I just love that part sniffin out the minds... euphoric recall if I do say so myself . I love everything about this song, this whole album. Thank you
"Rats sniffing out tha mines". Some people have trained rats to sniff out landmines/ ieds
What a banger. Wow
This is the first and only rap song I know to reference pikmin, lmao. Cheers to that Aes! (Katamari is great too)
This gave me chills 🧊
ooohhhf, this got me; that reference to Mu: @ 1:37
"Loser/weeper, in the wee hours, speaking to Mu in the ether..."
Love that they're keeping him alive. Mu forever
Whoa man this 🔥
That deep breath ❤❤
Aesop Rock is #1 period!!😊
Havnt had time to listen to the whole album, but this is my favorite.
I imagine your favorite will switch 2 or 3 times in the coming year
Beautiful.
'Fellow travelers pass tense'
Wow.
Damn!! Killer track! That beat and flow switch was nasty. Billy Woods crushed his verse as well. I never heard of him before this track...kinda gave me Killah Priest vibes
He’s got a great album Hiding Places from 2019, great stuff from Woods you may enjoy
@@fryzNot the OP but I appreciate the recommendation!
This is amazing. Was not expecting that switch, but my God did I enjoy it.
I remember watching an all gas no brakes (idk what it's called anymore, channel 4?) about fentanyl and they said there's no songs about the crisis and I'm like uhhhhh this song is a beautiful depiction of the way drugs have affected our communities thanks.
love love love this one!
After 20 more listens im 100 percent sure Aesop is a fucking alien...
the masters at work.
How did this man name drop Katamari Damacy and Pikmin in the same song oh my god
Who are these people u speak of?.
@@evanabt8578 they’re video games
Thought it was calamari lol
Katamari forever (Aes has been dropping game references for forever)
Good video games
Fuck this track is just perfect. The way the vibe shifts when between verse and chorus is just pristine
AMAZERS
Best comment “it’s Amazers!”
This track feels enchanted... I like it! Aes and billy killed it on this one!
Good googly moogly this song is exquisite to say the least
that kim jung gi line, man. *praaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssssssssssseeeeeeeeee* Love it, man, and your growth as a VISUAL artist, on top of your refinement as a musician and writer. Always keeping me on my toes. S'cool, I been doing squats and leg stretches for drawing shots, I can handle it lololol Procreate Dreams is soooooooon, can't wait to see what you gonna do :P
I thought I pick my favorite track, but it keeps changing !
That's how you know you're listening to a future classic album.
Aes, you have out did yourself this time, chief.
Man, this is another level
Jumpstart engine, light candles
Like a circus devil
This track is a one of a kind
Wheels grinde like mind
Unfold unwined mankind
Behind
My 2 favorite MCs at the moment
Did I really hear a rap lyric about Cthulu?
GIVE 👏 THIS 👏 MAN 👏 A 👏 FUCKING 👏 GRAMMY 👏
I just yelled at work when I seen this album dropped
a mean old Brian Eno mixtape, love it !
Love love love
Easily the best track. That change up in the chorus is what made it Flawless! Of course Aes and Billy Woods were great in the track. BIG UPS AESOP! ✊ 🙌
This has made my day
You could take over the world with this beat. That drop, oh that drop, I want to melt, and let's not forget the lyrics. Peacock baby, peacock, you've definitely earned it!!!
❤ Blowing my speakers up! Ear Dr. say whaaat????
I got fucking high just listening to it. Aes, Billy idk what else to say. I hope this is what heaven sounds like.
Billy is the best
This is hip hop. Take notes
That flow switch like 130-140
This got that bounceee
Man this is magical.
Is that a Jane's Addiction sample?
Woof. Superb.
ON POINT FOR ALL❤️
My jaw dropped at that beat switch wtf
my dream feature
amazing as expected
Juice,natual and organic
That first verse
Gheeeez
I hope that my own, various skills are progressing as well as Aesop's way with words. He just keeps getting better.
serious jam baxter influence on this one, love seeing him re interpret the styles
🐐
Aesop Rock x Billy Woods is Armand Hammer 2: Electric Boogaloo
fkin great track. I hope we get a video for it.
amazing that 🗿has made onto an aesop rock project
This shit hits
Woods. Just say he's the best, let's not argue.
this song is so friggin sick
Aes don't miss.
In a few hundred years people will be studying Aes along with Beethoven and Mozart.
So good!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
second verse is literal god flow shit
DOPE…❤️🔥
LYRICS:
Golden hours like Mom tripping
"You come down here right this instant!"
Sits on the front step, chips and a Sunkist
Dumb for a sun-kissed brick or Pikmin
I click, click, it's difficult to pick one
Have to pick the wisdom in a particular condition
Like plain old birds in the same old food fight
Rebranded and draped in a good light
Boat break from a day at the bull fight
Oughta come pray in the radiant bullseye
I don't blame y'all, the force awakened
So I'm Flatbush Avenue forest-bathing
Blood pressure ain't a touch extra
My cholesterol back to nothing special
Skin clear and my legs strong
And my spine fused and migraine gonе
And Bodega spangled in a merе thirty five
Octillion lumens at a low angle
Through incense smoke from a folding table
It's basically nature's stolen cable
Til it ain't
Time is a pick to the ice
Right when you chilling it be chipping at the vibe
Most tip a hat and slip into the hive but I dip into the grid
Rats sniffing out the mines, like
Nightfall is like pop wiling
It's coming in hot, try not to fight it
That helicopter, that 5-0 siren
CB squawking "find me those vice grips"
A mean Brian Eno mixtape, an ego lifeless
Drift in the eye of the side quest
The sign read please don't feed the wildlife
Unless throwing meat to mislead the night shift
Son this is whirlwind country
A world flushed from the brush pen of Kim Jung Gi
Junkyard tires and loveseats
And house pets all swept up in the one beast, I love y'all
Bring your adult teeth and move with the lows
A pulse and a juice for the pulp
Midnight, pushing up seed, Katamari
Vs. little old me and what army? Huh...?
Loser／weeper, in the wee hours, speaking to Mu in the ether
I can see him in a earth tone 'lo hat
And throwback shoes like guess who at Easter
I can bounce ideas off an angel or demon
Or any other brand of Cthulhu
I can rinse in the ambient wind
But I can't relate the intangibles to you
Crystals in the handle of my hammer to the anvil like
Crystals in the handle of my hammer to the anvil like
Crystals in the handle of my hammer to the anvil like
Crystals in the handle of my hammer to the anvil like
I walk this city strictly witching hours
Feeling dangerous, feeling like I gave you power
Trees rustle in they sleep, wildlife scurry to feed
It's a light on in the tower
Shadows move in a deep smile, rows of redundant teeth
They can see you's a coward
Street lamps is buoys in oceans of black
I'm swimming on my back
The moon but a yellow piece of crack in the firmament
Peer into the dark Copernicus
Fellow travelers pass tense
Wondering if it's our turn in the tournament
Every morning on the steps with my little herb
Every morning a mad woman come through feeding the birds
Walking crazy fast, tossing fistfuls of bread
Might as well be feeding the rats, but the rats already well-fed
Fentanyl in the pack, if they could they'd come back
From the dead and buy it again
I remember when nights was ambulance sirens
Watchin' 'em put bodies inside 'em
Sometimes somebody outside willing
On empty streets dead silent
Half empty stores scared to breathe
I sit on steps now with my lil' weed
I walk the long way around the 'jects
Them brothers is looking a little lean
I'm taciturn on the strip, I get my shit, turn, and I leave
Pachyderm, I never forget the faces of thieves
Head full of worms, some days it's bees
Some mornings the air feels clean
I can see her coming, trundling down the block
Then stopped, picked a dead bird off the curb
Stuffed it in her bag
Teeth barely bared when she hurried past
Appreciate it mang but the lyrics are already in the description
@@atomicalien4 I don’t think they were always there. If so my B ☠️🤒
@@Jichael.macksonI think that sometimes the lyrics are removed, so I appreciate you posting them.
Well kill me. Music stops here boys. Greatness morphed into sound waves.
Pikmin! ❤💛💙💜🍃
Pikmin and Katamari? You have amazing taste in vidya games Aesop. Most of this song went over my head though.
The Billy Woods verse has grown on me, but I still wish this song wasn't broken up with his verse. We needed another Aes verse on this
What does "crystals in the handle of my hammer to the anvil" reference?
Anyone?
the anvil i think is the song, the hammer is his writing.
@@JonKankpaceKendrick Thank you.
This shit is what hip hop should ,did it again Aesop Rock 🪨
this album is incredible. bought the cd and a lanyard B^)
Still making amazing music since I was in like middle school ❤🎉
the beat switch made my teeth grow teeth
