no one touches aesop, he stands alone. aesop is a self-modified genius, a product of a perfect storm of influence, environment, and a work ethic next to none. he grew up in a jazz club from a young age for christ's sake.
Aesop Rock, MF DOOM (LONG LIVE!), Doseone (& his 23+ groups/projects), Buck 65, Sixtoo, Busdriver, CLIPPING, Sage Francis, Myka 9, Open Mike Eagle, Eyedea, Homeboy Sandman, Edan, Atmosphere, Black Thought, could go on for days: but aes, dose, buck, sage & bus are a solid top 5 if need be…no order tho & CLIPPING because they’re a group that elevates the whole art from concepts to mastering as much as any one of these cats has done for lyricism, flow & phonics!
They the reasons rappers "retire" they hear songs like this or "Vowel Movement" - atmosphere - or "Falling in Flames" - murs - and feel like... shit... I am fake as fuck
The stuff of legends. I have known about these guys since at least my high school days in the late 90's and I have been listening on and off ever since.
been a fan of these two since I was 15 and this is the first time I heard this song, what an incredible Aes verse, sluggo does his thing too, love the beats, this is another bangers, need this on streaming!
Aesop is always an intellectual study. Love everything he does. But personally? I gotta give it up to slug. He always packs logical emotional punch. And he does so by keeping It as simple to understand as possible. Love that kind of simple writing.
so Ive been a huge atmosphere fan for years and try to get every single song with slug i can. spent hours and hours searching limewire and itunes and getting unreleased collections. but i have NEVER heard this one before. lol maybe now i have em all. hey slugs done over 300 tracks, its hard finding em all! lol god i love atmosphere. thanks for this
o man aesop killed this the escorting hundred handers out of tartarus blew my mind! he also gives free haircuts at his shows, I got one once. best show I've seen. Slug/ant/atmosphere are fuckin amazing as well. check out aesop rock and homeboy sandman mini mixtape lice. straight dope.
oh my...ok i'll always love slug above all artists but eyedea and dj abilities are damn amazing. def rhymesayers to the core. i wish id found "smile" 6 months ago it coulda helped me. poetry for sure.
I could be wrong, but to my knowledge Atmosphere was originally called Urban Atmosphere and Spawn was a member until after the Overcast album. Headshots was essentially the name of the collective before Rhymesayers. The name changed after some falling out and differences among various members.
Why do we need these endless 'boxes'? Yes Aesop is on a completely difference 'level' to slug..but slug equally has his genius level too,thats nothing like Aesop. There's no need to compare these alternative artist's with each other.One love man!
@skkill1 different styles..aesop's lyrics are way more abstract, slugs are upfront to the point. In an interview with slug he says something about hoping his music would turn people onto the underground so they "start off smoking the atmosphere and eventually will be shooting up aesop rock" (not the exact quote but something along the lines of that)

How you supposed to shoot for the moon with one arrow
And no bow
Aesop Rock will forever be the best rapper...

K-Rino lyrically vaporizes Aes.
@@danielbaker7107lol, not even close. Aes wins that fight, easy
whenever these two collab, I wonder if the mainstream rap world is like "why do we even try?"
I’m sure they remember why on pay day.
@@benkelly7182 exactly
They the reasons rappers "retire" they hear songs like this or "Vowel Movement" - atmosphere - or "Falling in Flames" - murs - and feel like... shit... I am fake as fuck
If not they should be.
"I walk a three headed dog. I call him Duck, Duck, Goose." x )
Damn it Aesop Rock!
😂🕺🏾
Wtf that shit even mean tho...
Means hes petting thier heads, saying duck duck goose. Lol
aesop is such an amazing fucking lyricist!
@@squidword3360 imagine needing everything to have a literal meaning
This is a sick jam. One of my new favs. Thanks for sharing. Can't hear it enough
These 2 alone save lives on a daily basis. Also R.eye.P
I've heard this song like 30 times and i just realized how dope it is....
Wow I never see one of these boy’s videos that have comments enabled! Much love all the way from 2022!
The stuff of legends. I have known about these guys since at least my high school days in the late 90's and I have been listening on and off ever since.
Im mad Its 2018 and im just now hearing this
It's 2019 and same for me
quick search that I'm doinmg it looks (and sounds) like it's recent
@@billyalarie929 same actually got here from relistening to Eyedea even tho I always listen to him weird.
been a fan of these two since I was 15 and this is the first time I heard this song, what an incredible Aes verse, sluggo does his thing too, love the beats, this is another bangers, need this on streaming!
i could only wish to ever make a song so perfect...my 2 favorite men right here

Collar Pimpin Been G nigga u gay
I needed this song.
Aesop is always an intellectual study. Love everything he does. But personally? I gotta give it up to slug. He always packs logical emotional punch. And he does so by keeping It as simple to understand as possible. Love that kind of simple writing.
Aesop makes music to make you think slug makes music that makes you feel
they both make both
True
I know a guy who was always very simple. Born that way or not. Only thing that ever resonated with him was aesop rock.
@Ninee Boundd didn't catch it. I assume there's an Aes bar referencing this?
Another lyrical masterpiece! Glad i stumbled into this one today. I Wish the best to each and every one of you listening to this.
It’s 2020 and I haven’t heard this song for 8 years. Thank you UA-cam
Your not alone homie
Here for it
There's so many dope lines in this song.
Two of the greatest lyricists from Rhymesayers.
Good shit.
Pretty sweet. Always love hearing these two together. So different yet go so well together
Been waiting for another collaboration from these two, they never disappoint that's why they are the best!
This & the Brother Ali track totally made that picture disc worth it.
Loving it. They defo don't disappoint on this joint.
This is the greatest colab ever.
These two are true artists
Just seen Atmosphere, dude is legit such a smooth clear flow and lyrics are amazing.
Never heard this before. Thanks for the upload.
so Ive been a huge atmosphere fan for years and try to get every single song with slug i can. spent hours and hours searching limewire and itunes and getting unreleased collections. but i have NEVER heard this one before. lol maybe now i have em all. hey slugs done over 300 tracks, its hard finding em all! lol god i love atmosphere. thanks for this
Damn Aesop, save some rhymes for everyone else
One of the dopest Aesop Verses Atmosphere too so one of the dopest tracks
One of my favorite songs
Wish they’d tag teamed a third verse, trading bars back and forth. Still one of the illest tracks ever.
if you search "guy on heavy acid trip" and click the security cam looking one.. the foreign song has a sick beat like the unique part of this song's.
For Gods sake stop argueing over which is better. Enjoy the damn song you came here to enjoy
Banging track any more like this! They should do an album together. Fire!
check out, miss me by a mile, thorns, and late for the sky.
Beautiful!
It's worse to crash than to run outta gas!
Mad love Slug
Aesop ur. too. smart.
but I get u! you're like my dirty little secret...haha
nothing better than when an aes lyric finally clicks...when i found out "blood sandwich" meant middle child i needed to be resuscitated
o man aesop killed this the escorting hundred handers out of tartarus blew my mind! he also gives free haircuts at his shows, I got one once. best show I've seen. Slug/ant/atmosphere are fuckin amazing as well. check out aesop rock and homeboy sandman mini mixtape lice. straight dope.

Aesop all the way
This song is so dope that it gives me chills. Raw as fck!
Thanks for posting this.
Nice track listing.
Where has this song been hiding...
the beats are so crunchy on this track!
Great work!
oh my...ok i'll always love slug above all artists but eyedea and dj abilities are damn amazing. def rhymesayers to the core. i wish id found "smile" 6 months ago it coulda helped me. poetry for sure.

YES!
I JUST NOW UNDERSTAND BOTH VERSES
BLEW MY MIND: SLUG & AESOP RAP GODS
so good
If this was on myspace back in say 07 it would have 100,000 views a day.
lovee it
Wow... they both went in soooooo hard
Empty4330 it's totally true. Young slug was hungry as fuck and it transferred through his music but aesop is always on point.
Pure fire
Goddang here's one I never heard. Fuck yeah.
Why do we need these endless 'boxes'? Yes Aesop is on a completely difference 'level' to slug..but slug equally has his genius level too,thats nothing like Aesop. There's no need to compare these alternative artist's with each other.One love man!
As a pretty big fan of both... Where the hell has this been? Almost like I can't tell which way is up
tight joint !!!
His voice seems to be the metronomic backbone of the song... the music is so different, unpredictable
what a sick track! slug beasted out
@username8434 cool point, and good upload highmighty
1:58

Shakespeare (On acid).
@@jimmiebentley6608 couldn't have said it better myself
LSD
Dope.
the radio is on, but the dialogue isn't breathing
Keeping the beat original to your crew don’t change mad love
also from invasion of the body snatchers originally and Aes has it tatted on his forearms
Aw damn! Well at least you got it! :D
*****love*****
dope...
wow
Aesop rock the lyrical god....and slug the overcast one....collabo beyond all others

Aes looks so beautiful in this picture. I want to marry him.
Hey whoop whoop whup!
aesop and slug sound sick togethherrrrrr, they both got different steez but they make sick songs together.
what is this from? why am I just finding out about this awesome song? love it!
Youngins need to learn soon...
@Israeli3030 I was lising to Aes before atmosphere actually
Nice! Throw e dubble on here and you've got quite the potent rap.
Chotzkey Reznov good thing its not rap then isnt it
DAAAAAAYUM
He woke up, sweat got him soaked up
Looking like he spent the night getting hosed up
Smoke a butt, lit it off the stove and rush your focus up
When they breaking bread they never broke enough
Just another day of waiting for tomorrow
Situations got him pacing at the crossroads
Staccato
Face full of nostrils
Heart beating like you getting chased on that cop show
He's sick of getting cut short on the stick again
They sittin' pretty, but won't let the business in
Projectin' bricks of aggression
Protect your section, don't covet the next man's
I know you frustrated, must hate it
Maybe stuck in the ditch when the revolution's updated
Some make it and get upgraded
Every little prick wanna fuck Lady Luck butt-naked
That's why I overreact
Like you opened your lap and gave birth to a swarm of rats
Somebody should have warned your ass:
Its worse to crash than to run outta gas
[Aesop] Go real
[Slug] Forever stuck like a tattoo
[Aesop] No meal
[Slug] Go check your gut and snap-to
[Aesop] Don't feel
[Slug] Getting up under a bad move
[Aesop] So deal
[Slug] Get the fuck outta the vacuum
CHORUS (x2)
[Aesop] Go real
[Slug] Can't thief advantage of
[Aesop] No meal
[Slug] Can't eat handshakes and hugs
[Aesop] Don't feel
[Slug] Can't sleep so take them drugs
[Aesop] So deal
[Slug] Can't see which way is up
[Aesop]
Boar's head helmet, long in the tooth
I walk a three-headed dog, I call him "Duck, Duck, Goose"
Ooze through the cookie isle hands down marvelous
Possibly escorting hundred-handers outta Tartarus
Man's damp claws stack adorable cash
And flip a cardboard crown like a spork in the mash
Stone-walling
Two knees knock on a tucked tail
Swan song wrong, flower-topped thumbnails
Pop the mop one hotel robe and a Plymouth duster
Eighty sixed from his given infrastructure
Beard to his feet that filter his Hail Mary's
In the company of cartoon stars and canaries
Kid Schroeder, ivories picked over
Parts marched out to sea on sick shoulders
Broadcast images of 3D art littering the diagonal arrow on your bleeding heart sticker
People of Earth, we are not as we are seeming
The radio is on but the dialogue isn't breathing
That's why my people drive along leaning
Back into the fires that forged the whole evening, speeding
[Slug] Go real
[Aesop] Cruisers get excited on the turnpike
[Slug] No meal
[Aesop] Ticket, no brakes, no birthright
[Slug] Don't feel
[Aesop] Nothing. Sleep days, work nights
[Slug] So deal
[Aesop] And stay the fuck outta the search lights
CHORUS (x2)
Go real
No meal
Don't feel
So deal
DOPE 👣
