    it's candles of a Roman _ilk._ That's Aesopean for ''Roman candles''.

    "Everybody say good dog" is the most relieving line in a song i think i've ever heard, too.

      Omg right! I was envisioning this song as it was played and almost panicked when I heard the splash of the baby falling into the pool 😫😫

    Early in the verse Aes says "Woke the sleeping beagle skipping toward the kidney swimming pool" so the dog hasn't been awake and alert all day. Ruby actually woke it up on her way to the pool. I really like the line "Canine let his gainer fly" both because of how it sounds and because a gainer is a type of dive. So that's fancy Aes speak for the dog diving into the pool to save Ruby.

      I missed that part, nice catch! I’m just relieved the baby survived. Good dog! Does he ever say the dogs name or mention it in another song??

      @@DreamersDreamBig It's name is not mentioned as far as I know. One thing I've always wondered is why he chose a beagle. I don't think this is based on a true story and a beagle is not a large dog. Seems unlikely that a beagle could carry a child of any size but maybe that's the point.

    • @durere

      my 2 favorite language bending moments of this song are ''off into the yawning blue, the splash would mum the rocketships'' and ''the beast she had earlier stirred has been alert since waking up''. I get the goosebumps every time, I don't know why. Maybe it's because of the hyperbolization of fireworks and a beagle into rocketships and a stirring beast.

    YES, FINALLY.
    Lemme hear it, I bugged you long enough 🤣
    After Edit:
    Hah! Told you guy, this song slaps way different. There's only one other ''reaction'' to this song on youtube, and its not really a reaction, the man just wanted to explain how this is peak hip-hop storytelling.
    Read the comments on the song, 9.5 out of 10 people are cryin' (the 10th guy is still cryin, he just don't wanna admit it 😂). First time I got stoned in my car and _really_ listened to it, I kept replaying it and non stop crying for 30 minutes. It gets better with each listen, especially on headphones.

    As you learned from rings, he's an artist. In songs like zero dark thirty and pigs he does all his own art. Pigs is about the rich being greedy and never satisfied basically and the video is a time-lapse of him painting. The painting is insanely badass at the end. Highly recommend pigs
