Took me quite a few listens to piece it together, as with many Aes puzzles. The only artist in the world that makes his fans work for the love... And, boyo, do we love to work the love.
@@Appreciation-Community MF is amazing but unfortunately he is no longer in this world. I think I was getting at living rappers still dropping. Like I would love a new Digable or Ultramagnetic album, but it aint happenin. Ace is still droppin pure gems.
This is obviously Cycles To Gehenna 2. And It couldn't be more amazers. It blows my mind how Aes keeps coming up with new creative innovative material. Dude has the opposite of writers block.
Never realized it while listening over a dozen times, but I just saw a transcript: _"Canteen, can of beans, no compass_ _Add another bug to the goggles_ _Vigilante city watch, dipping through the gigawatts_ _Known for shaking sticks and playing chicken with the will of God"_ *Bro, how?*
I just kinda powered through this earlier on YT and payed attention to the lyrics n flow n whatnot, but I just got back from a drive and I bought the vinyl so I got the download so I was playing it through the car and - .... somehow just then noticed that the music is really really good, like this track is beautiful and track 11 is also super good just to shout out two. I see you blockhead
Once I realize exactly what he was on about, it took it to a whole other plain. Absolute poetry and command of rap vernacular. My fav song is song on the jawn
I think it sounds better in the car because the speakers light up different parts of the track, but you said you had it on vinyl also , so you probably hear all the little notes crappy headphones or the like might miss
"only ever slow his roll to free a dove, or autograph his own wanted poster, peace and love" Imagine being the messiah, and also seeming like an incredibly cool dude You had the talent and the will. But then you stayed real. You kept it chill. You were just a dude
Just discovered (or dove into - been a fan of atmosphere and heard Aesop through him) - would love to see him live. As a lover of music, amazing stuff.
"pinky swear that should I go exploding into springs and gears, you loot the rings and gear and ghost the scene without a single tear," dunno why, but this line chokes me up every time I hear it.
I've listened to this a couple times but just randomly came across cycles to gehenna and immediately realized this was the sequel almost a decade later. Aes is just incredible
I think this is a part two to Cycles to Gehenna with the name and lyrics please correct me if you think other wise. P.s. Cycles to Gehenna are about riding a motercycle around at night
The beat also had some elements of its predecessor. It is about riding a motorcycle, funny thing is I know the dude who experienced part of this with him. They came out of the crib and came up on some trolls who jacked the bike for all it’s copper I believe
I think it's a prequel, Cycles to Gehenna was about the death of the rider, this about the ride before that, speaking of the invinciblity you feel when riding.
They are signed on rhymesayers, who let their artist be themselves. Aes usually produces his own stuff, but I always love when he collabs with people like when him and tobacco became Malibu Ken, shits fire.. Hail Mary Mallon, him and Rob Sonic with dj big wiz, then Him and flying lotus made flylo rock which is just too good.
@@CeylonMondegreen .... Not that I know of.. there are songs on there I've never heard before, and it says vocals done by Aesop Rock and guests, produced by flying lotus, and mixed by altered crates
WELP! According to Pigeonometry you had apparently gone back to Queens, if the releases chronologically match with reality in the Aesop Can(n)on... also, according to Garfield, you've never been good at staring contests... REGARDLESS, HAIL MARY MALLON! 😘
If you are ever in Nor Cal hit me up i have a bunch of material i would absolutely love to share with you i would appreciate your input or advice and for sure it will be 420 any time you show up
Holy Fuck, all these years later and we get the follow up to Cycles of Gehenna. Oh my god man.

"It started sounding a lot like Gehenna, so it was either start it over or lean into it. There was leaning"
(paraphrased)
Thanks, the connection has just clicked :)
>amazers
Hehe
Writer's diarrhea, but in a good way.

*Bro, how?*
Aesop is on point as always but the instrumental is *mwah* chef's kiss. It's like something I'd hear in my head on mushrooms but could never remember
bro this album is straight slap so far
that last verse is absolute poetry

Good Maggot 🥇

It's sooo good
I’m at a loss of words, the opposite of Aesop!
I think it sounds better in the car because the speakers light up different parts of the track, but you said you had it on vinyl also , so you probably hear all the little notes crappy headphones or the like might miss
"I don’t blink first ever, I don’t blink first ever"
Staring contest!, GO!
............you win, I was never good at that..........
I love when aesops lyrics mirror and contradict
So far after a couple listen throughs this is my favorite track. Shit hits home hard
Correct my friend
I suggested this track to a buddy who rides. Definitely up there for me
Most impressive album of the 2020s thus far. Imo
Man, you makin me miss tf out of my bike Aes’.
"only ever slow his roll to free a dove, or autograph his own wanted poster, peace and love"
Imagine being the messiah, and also seeming like an incredibly cool dude

thanks for more music aesop
I can’t wait to get paid from work so I can buy the vinyl
Wait till payday? You got Venmo? I'll get you
@@mrbookends A shining example of why Aes has the best fanbase. I tip my hat to you for even offering to help a stranger.
This is what real hip hop is !
I keep picturing Aes like Crow Rick from season 5 R&M in this album.
Damn I thought that exact same thing as soon as he said owl on my shoulder initials in the katana in Ledgermain 😂
Aes, always with that Ace
Thank you for you Aes
Just discovered (or dove into - been a fan of atmosphere and heard Aesop through him) - would love to see him live. As a lover of music, amazing stuff.
Next you should have a listen to Eyedea & Abilities
"I don't blink first ever"? ...what happened to "Staring contest: Go! You win, I was never good at that"? I guess Aes has been practicing...
He's been practicing lol
10,000 hours get you to guinea pig.
😮
"pinky swear that should I go exploding into springs and gears, you loot the rings and gear and ghost the scene without a single tear," dunno why, but this line chokes me up every time I hear it.
still making great songs
Oh shit ready ready for this
no you're not lol nobody is. Maybe Lupe lol
so frickin good dude
He blinked first in hmm Garfield lol. Staring contest, go!
He never said he blinked, just that he never gets caught looking
Best track on the album.
Ups on the long game Aes!!
Crazy🔥🔥🔥
I don't blink first, ever.
Thank you so much for the lyrics well done
this is one of those beats that puts you in the middle of a busy city
Irrefutably the best to ever do this shit
Nobody gets Hawkwind,sign of intelligence.
Beauty is subjective
JESUS this is insane
I've listened to this a couple times but just randomly came across cycles to gehenna and immediately realized this was the sequel almost a decade later.
Aes is just incredible
I could hold a wheelie for a decade

Neat!!
@@iriehiphopgirl damn that sucks hope he is alright
I think it's a prequel, Cycles to Gehenna was about the death of the rider, this about the ride before that, speaking of the invinciblity you feel when riding.
it has to be
DAMN
So, if this is a sequel, is the same character speeding on a bike, or is ANOTHER friend dealing with the (now) losses by cruising?
You guys throttled this shit....no pun intended...
This is one of them headphone albums. I thought it a 7/10 but it's easily a 9/10 with good music translating technology.
Awesome!
as always... damn.
I hope these guys have their music on Audius. They deserve to have full control over this epic creative force

@@reportinglivefromhell222
Malibu Ken was massively underrated
@@reportinglivefromhell222 Isn't Flylo Rock just a mash-up made by someone who is neither Aes nor Lotus?
@@CeylonMondegreen .... Not that I know of.. there are songs on there I've never heard before, and it says vocals done by Aesop Rock and guests, produced by flying lotus, and mixed by altered crates
Cycles to Gehenna pt 2?!?!
Good question
@@mistaree5731 I think it might be, I'll check if Aes says anything about it and let u know👍
@@BigSmokePapi it is lol listen to the lyrics
@@mistaree5731 Yeah I did I just wanna see if he says anything else about the song on insta😅
Sounds like this track could be straight off bazooka tooth
AES is the best.
CLEVER
Dope
DAMNN this nice
2:04-2:24. Fire!!!!!
Sistine Chapel level art
almost jizzed when he said gigawatts

Uh zakly
Sick of being a 4 to 9er
The beat is a clear step down from Cycles to Gehenna.
Really not a thing you can measure.
