Aes pursued the visual arts HARD in his youth, but when he started rapping, and taking it seriously, he put all his creative energy into that, 100%, and looking back, feels he's allowed his original passions to wither on the vine. It's a song for anyone who used to do something creative, but for whatever reason, doesn't anymore.
Aesop has the biggest vocabulary of any artist in history, not an exaggeration. He has used more words than anyone ever. If you listen to more of his music you can tell. He is “ too dope for public consumption” his music is too intelligent for him to ever become truly famous.
I have 2 others on the channel I know what you mean and look forward to more. Crazy good - too good for some people when you get down to it, too deep too smart!
11:30 - you might be thinking of Rubin (sp?) My art appreciation class was 22 years ago, but I've heard "Rubinesque" used to describe big-booty girls. 😉
Good morning/afternoon everyone 🙋🏻♂️! That was crazy impressive ❤️🔥💯😁👍. Well frickin done brother! I'd have to say you nailed it as far as I took it. Knowing him, there are probably more layers, but the main subject point, spot on😁👍. Thanks so much! You really make all these songs even more enjoyable some how, much respect 💯😉👍
@@RollenGreenRants When he picks an uncommon word like that, dissecting it usually ties together his usual themes of defiance and being a loner, with more imagery that makes other words fit. Cuneiform means "wedge-shaped", for the tip of the stylus pushed into still-wet clay. To "chop" a tree to count the rings, you attach a wedge to a handle and swing "against the grain". Biblically, clay is the earth, that God ("muse from beyond") made man ("man-made") from in Genesis- "the beginning". He calls himself a clod, while talking about his younger formative days. "Refusing to belong", not being social, ignoring "magpies" (imitators, not creators), trying to drive himself through the horde like a wedge-attack through a rank/file formation. He uses "oozing", like a visual opposite to the orderly corners and directions of cuneiform, and if you ooze ink on a reverse-image cuneiform, flip it onto Bristol, you get block-printing. You can find meaning in the negative space between the words themselves, in their relationships to each other. Very gestalt.
7:10 I clicked on this because it was 18 minutes on a under five minute song because I knew you had something to say. Going back five seconds, to rehear a verse or hook on an aes song is just par for the course. I love it when people have longer reviews of his songs because the react is a bit autobiographical. Think you for all of this!
If you relate to this song you will likely relate to most of aesops songs. Im always happy to find someone new finding him.

This is an amzing reaction and I love how much you relate to it.

For a guy that admits he has a lot of walls, Aes writes about very private things in a beautiful way
