- Get Out of the Car is the 8th track off of Aesop Rock's masterpiece album The Impossible Kid, and in some ways the most important. From a thematic perspective, it is the revelation and turning point. Aes has the talk with himself about where it all went south, and what needs to be done if he is ever to reverse course.
Brooooooooo. This analysis is absolutely next level!!!!! Did not expect the level of depth that you’d break it down by the intro but this is amazing. More AES videos please!
Never thought I’d spend so much time watching the first 5 seconds of this video in detail. I appreciate your take on this Aes is clearly feeling the beat flow through him he’s in tempo but theres a deeper meaning here. This track in particular is extremely important not to the continuity of the song flow but this is it, this is the moment he addresses how badly the death of his friend “mu” died effected him mentally for the last 8 years. He’s finally getting it off his chest if you couldn’t hear the music and someone asked what do you think is going on I’d say this man looks like he’s about to say something very important that has been tearing him apart mentally and he’s finally ready to open up
Amazing. Thank you.
Been listening to this song over and over due to my brother leaving inside his addiction. Apparently i unlocked your channel in the algorithm. Love the video, feel like i leveled up.
I'm sorry to hear about your brother. Lost my cousin in a similar way. I hope you are doing ok. Just wanted to send a little love.
DUDE. THIS IS GREAT
Damn dog. I really wish you’d make more of these videos.
This song is one of the best examinations of grief in any medium, IMO. Appreciate the in-depth breakdown!
Hey man I really like this a lot I don’t know how I haven’t heard of Aesop but he definitely has a new fan!! I commented this also on the first video of yours I watched, the hilltop hoods through the dark reaction, but watching this video makes me reallyyy want to share some brilliant artists that are incredibly present, humble and wise. I’ll paste the original comment below, but I left out my 2nd favourite artist ever and he’s American, K.A.A.N. ‘Knowledge above all nonsense’ the man is insane, he used to not breathe in his older songs but since he has become more melodic while still improving his ‘wordplay’ to say the least. This Aesop rock guy initially struck me hard because of how similar he is to K.A.A.N. and I love it. He has over 1000 songs and 4 albums/year for 5 years and heaps of independent songs but ‘notice’, ‘leave’ and ‘menace II society’ which has a lot of features, the main listed artist for that song is ‘one week notice’. I’m sorry for commenting twice I just wanted to make sure you at least see this message and I couldn’t not tell you about KAAN haha
Hi I absolutely loved this and appreciate your perspective and deep analysis. I think you would really like a lot of Australian artists, in general our accents even in normal conversation get progressively higher in pitch and pretty much by the end of most sentences we’ve gone up half an octave and don’t drop off in pitch unless we continue speaking right after and happen to start off again in a lower pitch. Musically, this to different extents naturally gives us amazing flow and dynamic vocal ability. I’m sorry to be so brief and ‘prideful’ about it but it is really quite hard to word. For example almost always in American rap songs you can hear them going down in the pitch at the end of lines even if they don’t really want to, due to their vocal chord layout and how they’re used to using their voice; whereas almost always with Australian rappers, they (I personally as well, relative to my skill/talent level atm) can keep escalating pitch/style smoothly and effortlessly and drop down low and back up high again in a more fluid manner. The unchallenged legend of Australian hip hop is ‘Alex Jones’, he is a different breed man, absolutely insane wordplay, a broken but beautifully strong spirit, flow schemes that are reminiscent of classical music, and that Holy X factor that no one, including him can explain. This may just be because of how relatable he is to my situation but I am often left in tears during and after listening to his music, in sometimes a sadder way but usually more out of just the utter universal perfection and beauty. It kills me to narrow down to a few songs because each and every one, if I listened at different times could each be the best, fullest thing to happen that day, but here goes (I’ll add in a few other really great people with rich depth)
Alex Jones - Angels, All I know
Scotty Hinds (real as hell UK fella living in aus) x Alex Jones - that’s life [if you like Scotty, scotty hinds x huskii-keep grinding {deep}]
Dr Flea (his stage name before he switched to his real name)- Believe
Dr flea x Diem - land mine
Lgeez (each song by lgeez is Alex and /or his good friend ‘son of Sam’) - wish away + goonbag radio #19 and #27
Artist / bio / ‘top’ song
Flowz Dillione - born into a horrible life situation and was addicted to heavy drugs and into a criminal lifestyle since before he was even a teenager but he is the most gentle giant, and perfectly embodies both yin and yang. I judged him a lot at first and didn’t like him but then I really listened one day and he shattered my heart and built back up even stronger. ‘The price of life’ ‘couldn’t stop feat. Alex Jones’ ‘family over fame’
Huskii - very similar but nuancely very different upbringing to Flowz, I could say the same about his music but that would fail to mention his unique ‘husky’ yet mellow voice, experimental styles, extremely hard hitting flows and like Flowz, he can say the most with the least amount of words, heartbreaking and exciting poetry on some cold ass chords. ‘ Ruin my life’, ‘toothache’ ‘Gravy Baby ft. Huskii(verse 1) - 10 toes on the road ‘
Other honourable mentions:
Indigomerkaba - born a crack baby, addicted to meth from early on, he has really found himself in recent years and has already released 8 quality albums + 50 or so seperate tracks in just his first 2 years. Very spiritual and emotionally intelligent. A lot of artist are the same, but he very rarely will write anything at all down, he is just present and what needs to come comes to him.
Spanian - his life story is crazy and well documented, interesting apart from music too. Despite what he may seem like at first, he is a real cutie inside and his actions and UA-cam videos/podcast help bring that to light. His music is like a horror movie in musical form, his poetry is honestly fucking insane, he’s by far in the 0.0001% percent of musical artists when it comes to intelligence and I can’t word it at all but let’s say I would not at all be surprised if he was like Moses And Ganghis khan in previous lives lmao.
Hilltops hoods obviously, suffa Mc is the best in the group in my opinion, I’m not sure who it is in through the dark however I am quite sure that it is only one of them and is very different from the other sides of their music. Suffa actually has a song with logic and gin w... someone, called willing to die and it is very good, as well as their features with vents(Aboriginal I believe)/the funkoars
In order, the uk artists that live here and are apart of the scene:
Scotty hinds
Motley
Fraksha
Bigredcap
Byron
(Diem - sounds and kinda looks British but hard to tell, great and eye opening either way)
This accent ‘theory’ I have is also quite well highlighted, perhaps even More so, by our singers, you have probably heard the voices of sia and Delta Goodrem, but also dean Lewis and Xavier Rudd, it may even be more of a clear distinction with the males.
Wow I’ve written a lot I’m sorry, I got a lil carries away but this sort of music and music general of course means a lot to me and it very underrated and stigmatised but it is truely a melting pot for some of the realest people in the world to make music for the love of it (not many make any real money from it) and if you like Alex Jones or the anyone else in the scene or whatever in general lmk and I have and am more than happy to share, any information you’d like to know, thank you so much for your time 😌🤍🤍
Bosky is the name of an artist. So you are right, he is talking about a old-school video game key to go meet the level boss but it is also hellacious wordplay about wanting to do nothing at all and have riches and fabulous works of art
Your analysis of the line "and i just couldn't fathom, blaming a whole new page on a made up chain reaction" i really loved, and was insightful, i actually had a different interpretation but now i wonder if it could mean BOTH
my interpretation was a level of self awareness in suspecting that one day someone would say all the trauma and emotional problems he experienced was caused by the loss of his friend, and it brought upon him a lot of emotional turmoil he never saw coming, and can't wrap his head around it all starting from his loss of Camu, and the "made up chain reaction" is a sorta expression of denial, unable to grapple with all of this avalanche of emotions starting from that. Which i can relate to, not in the exact situation of course, but some stuff I've struggled with in the past evoked some feelings like that, expecting someone someday would tell me that all of this pain happened as a chain reaction of this one event in my life, and struggling to process that. So I guess that was my interpretation.
"Knowing aint half the battle, that's a bullshit quip written by some asshole" god damn that line resonates with me so much every time I listen to this song ❤
