Mu is Camu Tao was a friend od Aesop's and a fellow rapper and he died of lung cancer. Aes is known for writing really cryptically which I think is one of the great things about him. This one probably wasn't the best one to start with. I'd recommend checking out something like None Shall Pass, Blood Sandwich, Daylight and Rings
His lyrics are often extremely creative but sometimes it can also be a bit of a negative thing cause you do have to really think about the lyrics and often listen multiple to times to get to the bottom of them
Great comment! I knew we weren't crazy lol.
Lost In Vegas Haha yeah! Really liking the content, it's great that you actually say what you think and keep it real even if it means disagreeing with some of us viewers sometimes. Way better that just pretending to like everything to somehow please people.
+Lost In Vegas I really appreciate you guys listening to our suggestions man. Next time you do Aesop try Dorks, Rings or Lotta Years. This was one of his more personal/less commercially appealing songs.
eGluc or mystery fish
You lads should react to Aesop Rock - None Shall Pass.
Aesop is too deep for the lads. Dude isca straight genius.
💯 These guys would go in breaking down None Shall Pass
Zero Dark Thirty!
The whole Labor days album is a must listen for anyone who claims to like hip hop
I can't believe they still havent gotten to this song! I think they would love it!
I can't believe hip hop heads like you don't know Aesop Rock. He is a lyrical genius and often considered one of the best rappers of all time by other rappers.
His lyrics are to complex to become mainstream.
@@claytonkeever2992 definitely!
aesop speaks in codes that not everybody is willing an attempt to break
word
@@sonofage Each code is different because the abstract nature of his music. It sends the listener on a roller coaster through space & time within their own memories... With each observation of the seemingly random elements within his lyrics.
Aesop Rock is not from this planet. Swim back to the hand rails, this water might be too deep for you. Aesop stays true like a wolf wearing wolf pants.
Come on, Glitchy. He's a wolf wearing wolf pants.
What a load of crap. They nailed it. Listen to the interview between aesop and mike eagle. He writes the way he does because he doesnt want to share his mindstate, he is ventilating. So if you think know better then these dudes do, your wrong. They actually nailed it, impressive. He is speaking from his pov and forgets half the lines he writes. If you ask him "what did you mean with this line?" he will just shrug his shoulder and say "i dunno".
Aesop is brilliant, but we fans make it much more then it really is.
@@Snacks079 They did not nail it, as they thought Camu commited suicide, which he in fact did NOT. Trust me, just because your 2 guys on the internet who have average hip hop knowledge doesn't get it, does not mean if you can't understand there's nothing to understand. NO. They LITERALLY weren't looking at the lyrics, or breaking them down enough. Of course they didn't completely get it. And OF COURSE there's a lot more to get they didn't even cover. Aesop never throws out pointless verses. Sure, it's esoteric, but every single word has intense meaning to HIM. Just because WE don't know, definitely does not mean Aesop doesn't know. Let's be honest, shit is CONSTANTLY flying over these 2's heads. They're not as musically inclined as they may want you to believe.
@@zakkofficial7045 true. I meant that they nailed the part where they went on about the fact that aesop is the kind to use metafors and that only he understands the true meaning of his words. We as fans like to break down his lyrics, and yes, he has a lot of meaning behind it. But at the end of the day it is a guessing game and aesop himself mentioned in interviews how he doesnt know himself what his lyrics mean at times, he doesnt even like to think about it. So to me, saying "you just dont get it bluhbluh" is nothing but pretentious bs.
@@Snacks079 Okay. I feel that. I better understand what you meant now. However, I do get the original commentors point, in that they may just want to steer away from Aesop's music as it IS so deep. They just aren't going to get it a lot of the times, and that's gonna be no fun for Aesop's super fans who want a deep reaction (Like me), AND people who don't know who tf Aesop even is. They ain't gonna give two shits about this super duper weirdo spiritual lyrical shit. I agree with the sentiment that we can't blame the reactors for not getting it all the way, but I also feel if that's the case, and there's gonna be a disconnect, maybe they really should just stray away from Aesop. It IS too deep.
Aesop's music is something that takes multiple listens to fully understand what he's saying
Thomas Graham you never understand
15 yrs listening to Aesop and i still hear new things to this day
every single time. watching this made me knock my personal faves "Float" and "Labor Days"! I think the days when Blockhead was doing all the beats are special... although I clearly respect almost every era of his career differently.
Quick TheDJ BS. I've understood his songs with enough listens
Please do more Aesop Rock!
Quincy Hill sounds a little like kid cudi
Pharaoh Aqix Maybe. I've never heard the resemblance but he is much more complex lyrically than Cudi. No disrespect to Cudi lol
Quincy Hill no just the voice
I kinda see what you're saying Pharaoh.. He sounds like Aesop Rock to me though, lol
Mu = Camu Tao, he died of Kidney failure I believe he was in the same crew as Aesop rock, El-p, cage, copywrite
You'll go nuts decoding his lyrics. Metaphorical doesn't describe him. He's nebulous. It's about Camu Tao. Great rapper who died of lung cancer when he was like 30. Worked a lot with El-P, the white guy in Run the Jewels.
as it appears you've engaged in the decoding, i agree that to make a video on an aesop rock song with the pursuit of decoding it will make you go crazy... especially the first time you've ever heard his style of delivery. The literary devices and complex word usage basically punches you in the balls
And this is one of his easily digestible songs lmao.
I know I'm way late to this video and didn't see it til now, but it'd be dope for them to react to Thursday in the Danger Room since El's verse (one of his best imo) is about Camu too. Mike's verse is really solid too, but El's just hits me harder
Nebulous is probably the worst word to describe his lyricism while probably being a fitting descriptor of his personal life. Every one of his songs has a full narrative or is an expression of his personal issues / experiences. You do have to listen more than once (or Google it) to fully understand what it may be with the exception of the handful of his "easily translatable" songs.
camu (mu) was a rapper who was a friend of Aesop, he died of cancer
it has been 10 years but the album and song was released a couple years ago.
8 years has been one long blindside. Thats exactly what he means
YOOOO Y'ALL REACTING TO AESOP ROCK. I ain't even started the video yet but I'm already hip. Listen to Dorks, Blood Sandwich, cycles to gehenna all by Aesop Rock
Aesop Rock fans please help me get this to their attention
7796761 definitely daylight I can't believe I forgot that one
7796761 I'm slipping bruh lol
and None Shall Pass
Mystery fish. Aes rock is by far one of the most talented lyricists working today and I think he uses his particular style to paint beautiful pictures with words and give life to an otherwise gutteral language in fast decline. "Mu" is the late, great, Camu Tao, fellow rapper of Def Jux records and member of the Nighthawks, The Weatherman, and Smut Peddlers, All collaborative projects with other members of Def Jux. He died of cancer if my memory serves me correctly.
He's sitting in his car in the parking lot of his first therapy meeting and he's contemplating going in. While at the same time reflecting on how his past 8 years have been with the death of an artist friend of his who died from cancer i believe. He's very cryptic in his symbolism when does songs. Very dope album and worth checking out.
Thanks for the info!
Ya, I was about to say it sounds like he's sitting in his car lamenting his friend's death. The "like a suicide king with a knife in his crown" is referring to the playing card king of hearts, a metaphor for spending his whole life trying to quiet down the head full of voices.
@@malcolmlee5499 the very next song is Shrink on the album, which is him going to therapy for the first time. I cannot tell you how oddly I relate to this album. ✌🏽
Nailed it ^ if I ever get tripped up or anxiety kicking off in day to day life in the back of my mind I always hear "get out the car AES" and were gooood
@@malcolmlee5499 The Suicide King reference is to Camu Tao's album "King of Hearts" which featured the suicide king on the cover.
Aesop Rock-Daylight/NightLight
It's a great song
lol, at least y'all admitted that this would be your kryptonite. This might be one of the weirdest Aesop songs to be introduced to. Typical Aesop isn't this low key, deliberate, and poignant. Compared to most of his tracks, he's pretty much beating the listener over the head with the meaning with this track. That doesn't mean you guys should have gotten the meaning on a first listen through by any stretch, it just means typically his tracks are way more "cryptic". To be fair his recent tunes have been much more focused on telling a clear story vs. just being a dump of thoughts and ideas.
Aesop's writing style is indeed him writing tracks for himself, but doing it in such a way that it lets the listeners form their own stories/explanations. He's gone on record a few times saying that he has a perfect understanding of his intention with every song and they relate to a time in his life, but he doesn't want the listener to just hear a song and say "Oh ok cool this song is about when Ace had a fight with his mom." He wants the listener to decipher his words and relate to it in their own unique way.
If your guys' aim is to listen to tracks and decipher their lyrics on the fly you might wanna stay away from Aes' older stuff, lol. Like I said his newer stuff is a lot clearer but it still leaves a lot up to your own interpretation. For example Rings off of his newest album is beautiful and still carries his deep style while telling a pretty clear and VERY relateable story. If you wanna give another crack at Aes I'd recommend Rings.
I would NOT recommend something like Easy.
Thanks for the insight on Mr. Aesop.
@@LostInVegas Pleaseee do Rings guys. I think you'll love it
His friend mu is the person that really got him into rap. Mu died of lung cancer. aes can be really cryptic so I'm glad y'all acknowledged that instead of dismissing it, that's sort of his thing. I think you should do even more of his stuff. I love the videos and I love his music, it would be great to see more. I would suggest water tower from this same album. (impossible kid) because it's my person favorite from this album. Or maybe blood sandwich because it's also really good and a bit more easy to understand and he's less focused on keeping his style and more about storytelling. I actually think if you did do another reaction to him blood sandwhich would be the best choice. I'm picking things from his newer album because it's more coherent (not the word I want to use but the only one I can think of) and the songs are typically a bit more easy to understand. anyways sorry for the long comment but I'm a big fan and so glad y'all did this.
Thanks for the info Scott!
Once you get into his discography (which spans almost 2 decades) you can re-visit this song with a better understanding of his style and newfound appreciation for the lyrics themselves. Not sure if you heard of a cpl tracks in 09 that got some airplay via MTV/2 (Coffee and 39 Thieves)? But as was noted earlier, I, too, think this particular track may have been a bit much to be introduced to his music... but, as a heads up, it should be noted that the particular vocab here is somewhat mild in comparison to his earlier albums. I think you may enjoy his work with Rob Sonic (I'll presume you haven't heard his solo projects yet?) under their Hail Mary Mallon persona. For starters, you guys should check out Grubstake, Jonathan and Used Cars... then move onto more intricate tracks like Table Talk, Meter Feeder, and Kiln. I'd love to see your reactions to his Hail Mary Mallon stuff!
Jon Magdaleno
I'm STILL geekin out on *39 thieves* and the *"None shall pass"* Album period.
Everything else is a fabulous journey through hip hop thats probably the equivalent of "The white album and Magical Mystery Tour". Thats how feel when I'm listening to his catalog.
And El P was selling shirts or something off his death right? That's why El P and Aesop don't speak anymore.
I'll give you guys props. Aesop's lyrics are notoriously difficult to break down after multiple listenings. for your first time you did aight.
Salute!
aesop is most definitely quite the cryptic rapper which he makes reference to on his song "shrunk" you should listen to the entirety of the impossible kid in your time and you'll see he is quite cryptic but you do grow to like and understand him
i remember when i heard about that album dropping and being worried about whether it would stack up next to the rest. thinking about that in hindsight is comical, as it blew me and pretty much everyone else away.
He even mentions it on this track. "Into the woods goes his alien tongue". "Once upon a time he was so much more then a punchline for his own potshots" He makes fun of himself alot on this album, mostly for the very things that make him so unique. I love this man. lol
The impossible kid is one of the best albums ever.
Impossible Kid is by far his least cryptic album. It’s his most honest, raw album that he’s released, Labor Days included. It’s basically him coming to terms with all of these emotions and experiences along with his own mental state.
This is a track about a longtime friend/fellow rapper, Camu Tao who was sick for a long time before finally passing. You guys did pretty good picking it out. Aes is the best lyricist out, you guys should check more out
I could be wrong but i believe Mu had cancer
More AESOP ROCK please ! not alot of youtubers show love to him (:
Aesop's a Rubik's Cube
He has been making me learn new vernacular since I was thirteen, everyone of his songs tells a story, he's the first rapper that ever made me want to know his story. To make me know what he meant. He made me see the world differently.
Yo Mu is Camu Tao an iconic rapper very well known. Aesop Rock is one of the best independent rappers to come from the late 90s scene. He is one of the few true lyricists left in this world of mumble rappers. Anything that inspires you to think more is good! We all progress when we invest time in something less corporate than your 9 to 5 or favorite sports team. This music means something to a lot of people. I've seen and met Aesop 2 times in Tampa FL. He sells Out a club of 5 thousand people and stays all night to take pics for free. He is on Rhymesayers one if the largest and oldest independent record labels of all time. You should review " blood sandwich" from Aesop Rock. Its on the same album The Impossible Kid. I'm glad you guys at least gave a real underground artist a chance. One Love! .WerdTheInsurgent
Thanks for the info!
So I did some research and apparently it's about his friend dying and this song is him rapping about his death and him talking about how he went downhill because of his death. There's a follow up song that you should react to next called "shrunk" and basically at the end of this song when he says get out the car, it's just him telling himself to get out the car because he has an appointment with a shrink which then leads into the song shrunk
Ahhh got it. Thank you for the info sir! We needed it lol.
Lost In Vegas This was my first time hearing of him btw literally took me 3 minutes lol
Lost In Vegas listen to this new rapper Josh a he's got some good stuff he started on UA-cam his beats are good in my opinion
Songs: No days off. Trenches. Chronicles
Kelly Rankin some kind of rare form
It's also what Stanley Kubrick told Stephen king when he asked what's the hardest part of making a movie. "Getting out the car". I assume he got it from there since he even used the shining for his album video on UA-cam.
I think this particular song was more of a personal project than anything else. In fact, to me, the whole last album seems like Aesop coming clean and talking about personal issues, but this one specifically seems like a low production free flow of current emotions. Almost as if he feels obligated to his friend to finally let the world know how he was affected.
Mmm interesting. Thanks for commenting!
Yes this is pretty much on the button, aes for life, he gives a good catchy beat and flow on the hits with enough complexity to intrigue, then if one follows said intrigue you find a man challenging the status quo and even his peers and has resorted to isolation in an attempt to preserve what he still believes to be true, were all a bunch of weirdos on a quest to belong :)
For those that make it this far, we the people with social anxiety and depression (everyone), must begin joyful participation in suffering and that is one Avenue of aes which makes him my biggest influence in hip hop. K rant over 🤔✌✌
I would have recommended something like “Daylight” for a first listen.
This song is a lot more personal than some of his other work. It’s about Aesop’s mental breakdown after Camu Tao died. He died 8 years ago, everything else in the song is basically Aesop confessing to his own mental sickness, failed personal relationships, and becoming more antisocial.
He uses a large vocabulary, but it all makes sense. Everything is a coherent sentence he just rhymes impossibly complex words and ideas. That’s his style.
This song is a better listen in context of the album
Rings, Mystery Fish, No Regrets, 9-5ers Anthem, Big Bang, and Daylight are my favorite songs of his. He's proven to have the most eclectic vocabulary out of any rapper, and his lyricism is off the walls
finally an Aesop Rock reaction, mans been slept on for many years, his music is big in the South African underground hip hop community. The way he writes is unparalleled . thanks for doing this fellas
Eyedea & Slug on the wake up show! Best true freestyle of all time!
yeah that freestyle is fucking incredible and im pretty sure most of it is actually off the top of the head unlike alotta people who just use bits and pieces of written verses in their freestyles
Hey, im the same guy who keeps requesting Earl sweatshirt. I also love Aesop Rock. He is a very cryptic artist to understand...id say one of the most cryptic. In interviews he says that he doesnt think he is smart but that people dont try hard enough to understand. But unless you are exceptionally smart its almost impossible to get without multiple listens. He is well known for having "the largest vocabulary in hip hop" decided by some journalist who took artist's work and created a ranking system of how vast their vocabulary is. Aesop by far had the biggest vocabulary...not that it makes him better of an artist. But that paired with him making his own beats on all of his newer music, his incredible flow and his untouchable ability to create technical, vividly painted music. Some of my favorites are:
Daylight
None shall pass
ruby 81
zzz top
Dorks
I dont think song was the best for a first time listener, I think one of the above ones would be better, maybe not ruby 81 but its one of my favorites. Thanks for the reaction!
I don't think it's necessarily a true matter of intelligence to understand his music (to some degree it is). Any writer can can cryptically write literature in a way that only he/she can understand it. I used to write poetry for a short period of time and if i were to say ''songbirds of the north indulge in gluttony'' no one would truly know what that means but me. It doesn't mean you have to be exceptionally smart to understand it. It's just not meant to be completely understood unless I define it. Don't take this the wrong way, your comment was great! We appreciate the feedback!
Yeah I totally agree. I think it is the way that he writes the lyrics just resonate with me. I almost never understand all the lyrics at first but regardless of me understanding them...the way he presents them to me almost immediately draws me in.
I think XXL did like a survey kinda thing and measured rappers vocabulary and Aesop Rock ranked the highest, above like tech and Eminem and they even had Shakespeare on the chart lol and he topped him. but a better video to watch would be like Zero Dark Thirty. A better introduction to him I think than actually having to know his story to follow a song and all that.
pudding.cool/2017/02/vocabulary/ followed up by GZA
yeah he was like, the only one in the highest bracket with over 7k words or something
"He's kinda cryptic in this"
Oh boy, you guys have no idea how cryptic Aes can get. 😂
Someone may've already explained the song....but I'll explain the background.
**LONG POST ALERT**
Aesop Rock is talking about Camu Tao who was his label mate at the now defunct Def Jux Records. He died from lung cancer in 2008 after a two year battle.
Aesop if just now trying to come to terms with his death. So, in the song he's describing a wide range of emotions from blaming himself to nothing could've been done while also addressing his precarious mental state through it all.
As he said, it took him 8yrs to finally express all this. Aesop explained in an article that he tried addressing it in his Skelethon album but sorta couldn't...hence "a lot to process". So in the end he's telling himself to "get out the car" which I think he's metaphorically saying get out your head Aes and keep pushing.
Aesop Rock's songs require a lot of attention to nuances, references, and wordplay. It is tough to decipher on first listen but keep on listening and you'll better understand his genius/poetic nature but I think you'd have a better time reacting to his song "dorks"
Sorry so long but hope it helps.
hopefully im not the first to tell you this but "aesop rock - daylight nightlight" is a pretty unique song he made and worth listening to, even tho its a bit longer since its basically 2 songs
I absolutely love your channel. The first day I binge watched 7 hrs of your metal reactions, and have told everyone I know about you. I wondered if you’d checked out Aesop, and was insta-bummed when I saw which tune you chose. He’s a lyrical genius and this song is a diary entry with an unbeat. I know you just grabbed a rando, so let me suggest None Shall Pass, Pigs, ZZZ top or zero dark thirty! You won’t be disappointed!! Keep up the great work!
So happy you have done a Aesop Rock tune. He is a wordsmith and an absolute Legend. It about his mate who died of Lung Cancer.
Aesop’s lyrics are brilliant and full of imagery. I’m glad to say I found him early in his career and I’ve kept up with him ever since. I love watching him evolve 🖤
Year of the ox - seven rings and stampede
Run the jewels - blockbuster night 1, legend has it, run the jewels.
YOX Seven rings is great!
"Mu" was Camu Tao. He was a Def Jux affiliate who died of lung cancer back in 2008. He was close to Aesop and El-P who also mentions him in a few of his songs. Aesop Rock is the pinnacle of lyrical hip hop. RIP Camu
Would love to see Aesop - no regrets - still one of my favorites of his lyrically, musically, and much more straight forward in terms of storytelling.
greetings from Finland. so dope that u ract to aesop rock, he is one of my faverite rappers in US. I love when u guys try to guess what is he meaning in the verses. Those are complex and part of his music. U try to understand it but the songs keep adding layers.
He's rapping about fellow Rapper Camu Tao dying.
A study found that Aesop rock actually had the biggest vocabulary out of every rapper in history
Based off of this quick peek we just had, I can see that.
@1:57 Who is mu? :
Camu Tao died in 2008, a friend and member of The Weathermen and Def Jux, the song was released in a 2016 album 8 years after he died.
I love the fact that you guys are honest. That's one of the best things about your channel, the fact that you are speaking the truth. I'm glad you guys reacted to some Aesop Rock, but this song is not really the best first song to react to! I've seen some other guys commenting and explaining the song, and its actually another song called ''Shrunk'' that is related to this song. The reason to why he said get out of the car was because he had an appointment with a therapist and he was kind of listening to his own words at the end of the tune! Anyways, love the fact that you are honest and hopefully you'll give Aesop another shot! Stay cool guys!
Thanks Carl! You were the #1 person we had in mind when Aesop's name came up fyi!
Glad to hear that!
i like how diverse in music the reactions are on your channel man check out Design of Malice by jedi mind tricks i think you might like it
Mu is Camu Tao. A friend/label mate. Run The Jewels also made a song with a verse about him. Thursday’s in the Danger Room. He died of cancer.
Still no "Dorks" reaction, what's going on? I thought you guys liked lyrics
I like reading between lines and not just turning another page. Aes is a master of his art. The catalog of work he had is mind blowing.
Holy shit I think I just realized "Moo" must be Camu Tao! Duh!
This is like his most straightforward song lol "he's very cryptic"
Ya'll really should have done Rings. Still hoping you give him another shot.
You guys are killing it keep up the amazing work :)
y'all should check out

I know this is an older video but I really really like your channel from what I’ve seen, please do more Aesop Rock reactions. This artist is intentionally cryptic and his lyrics are a very very deep well.
King Los Sway in the morning freestyle damnit
I’m not necessarily a huge “reaction” watcher but y’all are entertaining, put effort in to the video and are pretty smart. Good video !
you should give Aesop Rock another chance.
Do "No Regrets"...
you won't be disappointed... this was a poor first choice.
NF- just wanna know

You will never figure out what he is talking about. He's on a different level of genius. One of my Favorite artists ever.
Aesop Rock, Danny Brown and Busdriver have a song you will like
This is why me and your 7k other subs fw you guys! an artisit and song you've never heard or have any idea of, and you guys tried to break down and understand the lyrics as best as you could. A real reaction channel! Keep up the work Ryan and George. Back with my same suggestions lol: Logic - Run It, or Logic - Nasty
Thanks Dippa!
Should do a react to K Rino - Solitary Confinement. and Past, Present and Future.
Hes an amazing story teller
an artist you haven't covered yet :)
It was about his best friend who died of cancer. Aesop is very cryptic, without doing a little research about his past it's hard to get some of his songs. Maybe not the best song to start off with but nice review
you guys seems nice, but this was painful to watch since Aesop Rock has been around for a LONG TIME and if you are a fan you know his style and know who he is. at least you werent assholes about this. Aesop Rock is one of the best MC's to ever bless the mic (imho). if you check out a lot more of his stuff you will love him. he tells it like it is. represents himself fully in his music. and when it comes to his flow most people love not being able to figure shit out immediately. i have been listening to de la soul since 89 and still come across lyrics where i am like "woah, never even got that the first 100 times around"... keep NOT being dicks guys... :)
Aesop Rock is an investment in fandom. if you give in and take the ride Aesop will blow your mind! I would imagine most people have a similar reaction as Lost In Vegas on their first listen to Aesop Rock.
Listen to Rings or Daylight By Aesop! Good luck breaking down Daylight!
You guys were killing this for a first listen!
NF - Statement
Mu is Camu Tao, an artist that was part of Aesops Weathermen crew, he died in 2008 of lung cancer.
nick grant sway in the morning
I second this.
Song is about Camu Tao's death btw.
Godlovesugly- atmosphere
That album is perfection
I prefer "Lucy Ford" before it. Perfection.
Great album
derkaturka yes Lucy Ford is legendary
Aesop rock has such a beautiful way with words, truly
React to j.i.d- never next
Mud is his longtime friend Talmud who died young of cancer I believe.this is referenced by the line clogged up chakkraha. Aesop has mental health issues and refers to them a lot, hence head full of voices line etc. He was saying the friendship was strong and Talmud helped in these issues. The intro refers to how life seems to just stop when you lose someone suddenly and how's it difficult to accept that person and timevin your life has passed. He passed young and sick and unexpectedly, and even though 8 years had passed it still felt fresh "8 years one long blindside ".The song speaks in metaphors and hidden meanings because his main goal is not telling you "my friend died, this is how he died"but to tell you this is how it feels to lose someone close and your own age and dealing with that loss and the fact of your own mortality. The last line "get out the car Aes "is him telling himself to move on. He is an amazing writer but understanding him definitely takes a few lyric readings.

Please
Dissect King Nepal he fucking murders that track
Dissect King Nepal Awesome track!!
Nah they'd miss that up too
I really enjoy watching your videos, you two work well together and i like that i think about music in similar ways to you guys.
I started listening to hip-hop heavily about 4 years ago. Huge Logic and Kendrick fan. You guys ever thought about doing other genres? I would love to suggest some of my favorite songs in rock, pop and alternative that have hip-hop influence.
Yes we will be doing other genre's for sure!
Yo that's dope. I challenge you guys to step outside of your comfort zone with these suggestions.
Pop: Don't play - Halsey
Rock: The Power of Equality - Red hot chili peppers
Alt: Doing it for the money - Foster the people
All have hip hop tones in em. If you don't get to any it's all good, I'll be tuned in either way.

Aesop Rock - No Regrets, this is the one to hear. You guys will love the lyrics/storytelling on that song whether you do a video or not. Check it out.
react to k.a.a.n. concealed the outro , stress , L.T.N. , or white lines .theyre all meaning full songs by him . there are more meaningful songs by him but these are the best
Its lines like "true friendship in a tug boat way" that makes him great. Makes me think he felt more parasitic to his friend and now, cant fix that. This is the most criminally underrated lyricist I've ever heard. I get something new every time I listen.
witt Lowry-praying
He hadn't heard Aesop? How is that possible.. he's one of the best. My personal favorite.

Aesop is the most cryptic artist out, and this is just his first song Yall listen to. Check out Aesop rocks Ruby 81. Amazing uncryptic story telling. Also, no regrets.

Its about camu tao. He died of lung cancer. All you gotta do is know aesops history.
Kaan -stillness please
I had to write this, so Mu aka Camu Tao was friends with artists such as Aesop Rock. They had a close friendship, so Aes is saying he was sick. Camu Tao died from a two year battle against lung cancer. He wasnt mentally sick, he was sick for real. So Aes is like venting on the fact that a lot has happened in the past years since his friend died which was back in 08. This was just to elaborate more for what you were confused about and yes he is very cryptic with his lyricism.

"He is kinda cryptic with it" truer words have never been spoken about Aesop. Loved your breakdown of the lyrics!

Definitely should have started the Aesop rock journey with no regrets. Solid story from beginning to end. Easy message to follow, eases you in to aes strange cryptic flow. He’s been a favorite of mine since the early ‘00 just because the challenge of following along and decrypting his rhymes
More Lil Dicky please

Too High or White Dude would be a good one to react to ^
Black Teemo they should react to more of his comedy shit
Mu, refers to Camu Tau, and underground hip hop artist out of new York who was good friends with Aes. Camu, had many friends that are still relevant today including Elp of rtj fame. The song is basically detailing how the death of camu tau had a profound effect on Aesop's mental state that he wasn't able to pick up as a cause until recently. The song touches on how he feels like he's been sleeping on this connection since his friends death. AESOP ROCK often touches on stress, disconnect, and depression in his work and is open about how bad it actually effected him. I think this song is his growing up point. A point in his life where he understands where some of his problems stem from. The car metaphor just refers to you, me, Or him knowing what we all want in life, but letting it slip by simply by just waiting. And to move on, you have to perverbally get out the car and go for it
react to isaiah rashad: tranquility, shot you down, webbie flow
actually just react to all of his shit, its all fire.
you guys are actually hip hop historians, tons of respect
