"Im at the table breaking bread with the wicked and the righteous, its hard to tell the difference through a history of violence" hes on another level.
I've been listening to Aesop Rock well before he was part of Eastern Conference AllStars, I'm 38 now and I've been listening to him since I was 15, God damn I'm old AF.
"I'm steady as the fingers of a surgeon, aware the destination is absurd as the excursion, aware that the extent of the hilarity be varying the climax and the ending all depending on the version." Fire!
Actual best bars on this album. Aes has consistent quality, and Homeboy Sandman definitely flops on a few tracks... but when he gets a beat that works with his flow? God DAYUM.
These dudes make my brain smile. Homeboy on Oatmeal Cookies: "I want a dime piece that smells as good as McDonald's fry grease that isn't always criticizing my beats... I want a single to blow like souls of mischief in 9-3 so I can buy bobby sonic a diet cola I-V" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
"I'm steady as the fingers of a surgeon. Aware the destination is absurd as the excursion. Aware that the extent of the hilarity will vary, and the climax, and the ending, all depending on the version." - Favorite quote from the album
Mud is the SHIT. I saw homeboy live with Aes for the IK tour this summer past. I listened to Kindness for Weakness for a good 3 months straight. Lice2 that wicked shit.
Homeboy Sandman is really good. I saw these two guys live and then purchased Homeboy's album "The Good Sun." His performance sold me, and I already had passed my tener to the sales man when I looked at the track list and saw "featuring John Robinson"!!! (JR of Scienz of Life is a Master of the Craft that far too many are sleeping on; check out his discog and the collab, "the things they carried") Much respect to everyone making this really real-music. If any of you have the chance to see Aesop and Homeboy on stage together live, you should jump right on it; these two are proper Emcees who know how to move the crowd. Free downloads, powerful stage presence, interacting with the heads after the show, etc. these attributes show a dedication to the music. One Love
Lol. You sure that's it? I always thought it was "Lice got a secret handshake that includes painting the landscape AND equal distribution of syrup 'tween the top and bottom pancakes". Makes more sense grammatically, not that that's saying too, too much. Lol
respect. i see you on pretty much every aesop tune. you have a lot of very intelligent posts and portray being a true fan without belittling what his collaborators bring to the table and all that. it's super nice to see, so thanks for that.
To be honest, these collaborations with my favorite rapper Homeboy Sandman helped further my respect for Aesop Rock. So much so I gotta add him to my list of favorite rappers. The guy is just unreal with the lyrics.
+Elisha Stutes Gaming (MothaFnB0ss) the first lice is beyond art in my opinion. though the vinyl versions song 'get a dog's is different then the one I find online. I think since the UA-cam one is a remix of a Linkin park track and the vinyl is not. but homeboy sandman is an amazing artist, Aesop is as well, and together they are just top notch
Listening to this many times I felt Aesop out did sandman but after my latest review sandman trades his complexity for coherency Both of there vibes meshed perfectly like if you feel the same!!
Hey, Rhymesayers, can you make the track names on the image links to the songs' timestamps like you did with Lice? That'd be really helpful! Apart from that, noice. Great songs :) EDIT: Thanks!

These guys never sold out. That's why I think it's called lice, because lice stick to their roots.
Ryan McDowell and also cause their lyrics sometimes make you scratch your head
ROFLMAO
That's quality right there.
safe to say they’re doing it for the heads 😎
Cool. My feeling is because they get in your head.
I honestly feel these Lice releases are some of their best works 👌🏽
Hands down
because it was meant for now

You can't get rid of 'em no matter how hard you try. They're #LICE
Aes is definitely slept on as a producer. Oatmeal Cookies is excellent!
Oatmeal cookies is so good
I havent slept A WINK on Aesop, ever. Hes always been one of my favorite producers in the game.
@@zacharydobrowski8796 right? whos sleeping hes awesome?
Every track is dope, it's mad they are all produced by different people !
@@Lynxchillin08 That's what the project is about. Every song on all 3 EP's is a different producer. Still waiting on the 5 new ones for Lice 4
this shit makes my head itch
NO WAYYYYY FUCKING THANKYOU GOD
my exact reaction...
Longer than that, and I'll get bored of it. I'll be like water or some...
... shit. Yeah."

Scott Johnson fucking fire!!
Woot woot RobSoniC
Pure brilliance! But why does Rob Sonic need a diet cola I.V?
mud reminds me of kicking narcotics/opiates. in a good way!

Damn this is an excellent qoute.
Whoever Dan Hayden is, give that man a medal
And a blunt and a beer. He earned it.

Goooooood stuuuuuuff
5 classics, so much chemistry
I still think this is the best lice instalment, something about this one just hits differently for me 🔥
Wow, Aesop keeps putting out free content. This guy does not rest.
Smite Must not sleep, must warn others.
Smite the diff in doing it for love or money

The catacomb kid is alive!
Thanks again for another out-of-nowhere amazing drop !
it's great to have awesome music drop as a surprise
Easily my favorite Aesop collaboration. All three of these EPs are brilliantly hilarious. I want MORE Lice.
take the brain out, LEAVE THE HEART IN!
straight slaying
Homemade Mummy
Aesop's verse in Mud is my favorite of the year. So good.
whats the end of the "spongebob pjs, dreaming of deep space" bar? hook comes in and i cant hear it....
...sleep spawning a nuclear briefcase.
sleep spooning a nuclear briefcase, spoon sugar till his teeth ache....3 cheers, two for his team 1 queen ______ ________ ______" fill in the blank.
"one queen in the premiers" ?
sounds like youre right. Tough cause of the mixing though, hate when stuff like that happens.
Oatmeal cookies dat Rock co. Kane Flow sample.
It's actually from "Oooh" on AI: Mosaic Thump.
It's the sample in "Oatmeal Cookies" (when he says Oatmeal Cookies lol) - and Derek is correct I was wrong it's from Oooh not Rock co. Kane Flow.
Bro "unequal distribution of syrup between the top and bottom pancakes"... Never really heard Sandman before but respeck
Benjiro Ikeda he was going line for line with Aes, this guy is nice asf lol
Check out Real New York its one of his better songs imo
Lol. You sure that's it? I always thought it was "Lice got a secret handshake that includes painting the landscape AND equal distribution of syrup 'tween the top and bottom pancakes". Makes more sense grammatically, not that that's saying too, too much. Lol
Ha! sense of humor is how we cope ,deeper meanings and laughter ,reality and brutality
Omg I’m so mad to just discover these guys through Garbology. Oh my god Mud slaps “The number on my ticket read eternity” raw
best lice album tbh
Shit, this is slapping harder than the first Lice.
the lice mutated
Way more on point than Lice 1. Way more focused. Way less sloppy. especially sandman, Aesop is always on point, he is the point.
chrstphr Lol. Amazingly enough, I think Sand may have had the deeper verses on average on this one. That's saying something.
Happy surprises! The best kind of surprises.
This is absolutely incredible. Zero notes wtf😮💨🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yall mfs dope glad I came across. Very lyrical intriguing and interesting.
Lice is amazing. OG hip hop
just when the withdrawals were killing me boy sand and aes provided a dose of the good stuff
what were you goin through withdrawals for? opiates or benzos?
Mr 42 sand n aes made for the perfect aesthetic.
"Shift go the shape of the minions; started out simian, graduated ophidian" - great line
The Lice trilogy is my favorite of all aesops work. Stupid good. Would love another lice EP
I think these collaborations only do wonders for the growth of these legends.
respect. i see you on pretty much every aesop tune. you have a lot of very intelligent posts and portray being a true fan without belittling what his collaborators bring to the table and all that. it's super nice to see, so thanks for that.
by the by, nice jack nance
good to see you here bro, glad you still exercise your right to bang the illest shit from the goat..
To be honest, these collaborations with my favorite rapper Homeboy Sandman helped further my respect for Aesop Rock. So much so I gotta add him to my list of favorite rappers. The guy is just unreal with the lyrics.
god does exist and she brought us number 2
+Elisha Stutes Gaming (MothaFnB0ss) reference to homeboy sandman where he says 'I don't not call god a he. because God is not a male'
+Elisha Stutes Gaming (MothaFnB0ss) look up the song he does called god to hear what I'm talking about
+Elisha Stutes Gaming (MothaFnB0ss) the first lice is beyond art in my opinion. though the vinyl versions song 'get a dog's is different then the one I find online. I think since the UA-cam one is a remix of a Linkin park track and the vinyl is not.
but homeboy sandman is an amazing artist, Aesop is as well, and together they are just top notch
god still doesn't exist, the albums dope though.
Your god can't save you from the LICE.
Nice!! Especially "couple things" = FIRE
So good!!
The production is on point with this one!
EPMD homage on the album cover, all in the dome, so clever. brillant work.
My favorite lice mixtape
YOOO WHAT THE FUCK YEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Perfect
stop the bleeding might be one of the best hip hop songs i have ever heard
WE NEED MORE!
the last time i was this early the school doors were still locked and i had to wait an extra hour.
lol
Just to pee
Love Sand's first verse from Zilch--perfect way to begin the album.
I love these two making music together.
Best surprise ever! Been hoping for a sequel. Keep it dropping!
Thank you
Aes knows some shit....
OATMEAL COOKIES!
"...Have a fantastic day."
For sure I will with a release like this to discover. Thanks for the amazing work, whoever is involved !
DOPE!!!
8:45
and on.
Bro. the slickest bars ive heard in years
This has been blowing my fucking mind since they day it dropped. So much respect for these 2 legends
must say,couple things is the best for me
don't stop.. keep killing it guys!
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu7uuuuuuu7uuuuuuuuuuck.. I regret not getting Homeboy Sandman's signature
these beats are all so creative and different. im fuckin lovin it
didn't expect these guys to do something together, it's cool tho
this is their second collab
I see that now, I wasnt a fan when Lice 1 came out so this was the first I heard of them.
Homeboy goes on this!!
Years later, I keep coming back to these, so good. Wish they’d do a part four already! This one has to be my favorite of the 3.
Yaaaas notification squaaaaw lmfao
Enter the Gematrix squawk!
Love the production on this 🔥

Mewtwo666 Gnostic Word.
A refreshingly aesthetic alchemy of two idiosyncratic styles.
Sandman is sneaky complex. He hides it right in plain sight and most overlook it, especially on his solo stuff.
Still listening like it just dropped in 2023!!!! Holy moly these two were a problem!!!!
Yay! more amazing!
OATMEAL COOKIES!!!
Lice and lies mess with our heads
Just got the life aquatic reference in the first song. My god i could pick apart the lyrics in this 16 minutes for a year....
all 3 lice EPs are bangers but I think this one is my favorite though they all go well in a playlist together as if its an album itself
Hey, Rhymesayers, can you make the track names on the image links to the songs' timestamps like you did with Lice? That'd be really helpful!
Apart from that, noice. Great songs :)
EDIT: Thanks!
love ya'll even more for dropping this on my birth day ;)
Oatmeal Cookies and Stop The Bleeding are fucking perfect tracks.
This and the original lice broke me i think, ive been listening to them back to back to back for days. dont send help
Stupid intelligent fire lol
zilch is the best track by far.
Best lice ever
Always the best
Yes
Azazel as soon as the record plays!!
Wtf zilch is the hardest verse I have heard from sandman
Oatmeal cookies is fucking bananas. Banana flavoured oatmeal bananas.
This is nasty... SweetJeebus. Lightning bolt
OATMEAL COOKIES, OAT- OAT, OATMEAL COOKIES!
