"the production outshines Aesop"
he did most of the production himself though...
Outshine his rapping
I actually agree with feefo about Aesop's voice. Not saying he doesn't have dope lyrics and word play, I just really like his flow and voice
zero dark thirty had a great example of his flow
Gopher Guts is the track of the album
Jason Quinn Love the fuck out of it.
That is further expanded in IK I thought
C always hates shit at first
HAHAHAHA At 8:05 when the guy in the background walks to the other end of what looks to be a kitchen, doesnt it look like he just disappears?? Like, doesnt it look like its a solid wall, and not 2 rooms (Kitchen and Other room where everyones talking) cause of the kitchen window lines up with door frame or the other room. It looks like he was going to walk behind the one guy, and then out of nowhere just vanishes hahahahaha. Anyone else get what im sayin?? Anyways, good review guys!! :) Aesops a legend. You guys should totally listen (If you already havent) and do a review on Cannibal Ox - Cold Vein. By far one of the all time greatest underground albums that has ever been created in my opinion. A true classic.
There's a wall that's close to myke with a similar colored wall
He's not trying to say "How important pets are" he's trying to say "some people just can't let go of the past". I think his entire album is about this.
I like DEHH, but this sounds like it was recorded on a plane.
Its from 2012 lol
@@shrimpe2876 Yeah, fair enough
RTJ is light fare compared to Skelethon. Production-wise Aesop took El-P's ball and ran with it.
when you buy an aesop rock album..your also buying brain training
Man i love Aesop. It took me a while to get into him but he's become one of my favorite rappers. I was afraid that he had lost it after that hiatus, but he's still got it. if anyone liked this album, you should check out in his Labor Days album. it's one of his best.
Aesop Rock also produced Felt 3 which was stellar
I love when they start crackin on Myke lol and Myke is like "FUCK YALL MAN" lol its classic DEHH
aesop rock is a fuckin legend
"El's ass is right here, and Aesop is smackin' that shit." Thanks for the 5-minute laughing streak, Myke.
Saw aes live in chicago skelethon, amazing! Good review, thanks!
I don't always listen to rap, but when I do, I prefer Aesop Rock.
Good for you!
I remember I used to post elitist comments about music, film etc. like this.
So you don't listen to any of the old def jux roster? El-P? Are you familiar with the Weathermen or Atoms Family? Early Anticon.. I could go on for days. Do you mess with Hail Mary Mallon with Rob sonic and Big Whiz? Rob hangs bar for bar with him.. you are entitled to your opinion, I just think that you are limiting your scope man.. I rarely read comments because there is so much trash talking.. I'm not coming at you as an asshole, just assuming you may be overlooking some artists you would enjoy if you listened to more artists.
dont be a "disciple" of aesop rock, or any other artist you admire. instead have respect for them, and aspire to make something equally as inspiring. people love to join groups, belong to cliques, or develop identities around the work of someone else, but the fact is when you sign in, that'd how culture fails. this world has followers and leaders but i want to live where everyone is equal, because equal doesn't mean the same, it just means the same level, people being equal could still be unique and respectable
Seems like no one got the dos XX reference
Props to Beezy for the album title interpretation, however. That bit of insight was nice. I'm surprised that went over my head.
sorry but many of aesop's albums have been very personal not just this one. That being said aesop is a lyrical genius and one of the best producers in the business.
It took me awhile to realize that. The reason is because of song means being vague. Once he began opening up with skelethon I listened to the previous stuff more clearly.
Really dug this album a lot. ZZZ Top and Gopher Guts might now be some of my favorite Aesop songs of all time
I honestly have not been remotely interested in an Aesop Rock album since Labor Days, but the beats are bangin' and he's spittin' his ass off on this one. I might have to cop this one.
Hello from the future lol you didnt mess with None Shall Pass? I thought that was his best next to Labor Days
The Levee Breaks in the same verse,that I didn't pick up on until I understood the Zoso part.He uses the same structure for the next verse, with"Zulu" meaning zulu nation.a hip hop fan.also given away by mention of Afrika Bambaatta.The next verse doesn't really include any explicit mention to an artist, but includes "punk's not dead".The whole song is mostly about how music often facilitates rebellion.with each person described being rebellious in someway,writing on school desks,graffiti,
I love the moment on bazooka tooth where he spendsa whole verse starting each word with L,S and D and it says LSD like 100 times. Wish him and el-p hadn't fallen out.
I agree. Aesop's lyrics can be interpreted many different ways, while Illogic spits some of the most clouded / crystal clear lyrics ever, if that makes sense.
lol "zzz" "zero dirty thirty" "rugby 81" .. good review though i love this album
Ruby '81 stands out to him cus it's the easiest to decipher...girl almost drowns & gets saved by the family dog..
You can, but you'll likely be fooling yourself. After appreciating the great hip-hop of Aesop Rock, possibly the most creative artist to ever spit in the game, AMAZING flow, mind bending lyrical skill, AMAZING production. Aesop is truly a top 10 hip-hop artist.
After all that what do you really see in ASAP rocky?
Aesop Rock is like having an entire library, ASAP Rocky is like have the back of a fucking Cereal box.
That's why its hard to believe you like both, feel me?
That's hard. I think they're both incredible and I guess I like them both for the same reasons. They both have pretty complex lyrics that take dissecting although Illogic is a little easier to pick up. With Aesop is really all about interpretation. So I don't know if I can really answer that, ya know?
They high as hell
I thought this project was incredible. It's the first Aesop album i've bought but i'll definitely be getting some of his older material. This is easily my favourite album this year (of any genre) and probably the best hip hop album i've bought since Eyedea & Abilities released 'By The Throat' in '09. If you're struggling to get into the storytelling on some of the tracks I recommend watching his explanations on 'TheRealRhymesayers' youtube channel. Thanks for reviewing it.
I see a lot of you mentioning that Aesop produced the Felt 3 album. Just wanted to point out that I did mention that. Just sayin...
So glad you guys reviewed it finally and liked it a lot.
Not out yet. But that's my man so I'm interested to see what he puts together.
When i saw this video up I immediately grabbed some chocolate cake and a glass of milk, I love this freaking album and DEHH.
It took me a while to really dig this album as well, but Crows 1 was the first track I fell in love with and is my favorite track on the album just because the production sounds so crazy and all over the place on that track! I also like Ruby 81 and ZZZ top.
This is one my top 5 list!
One of the best releases of this year. This kinda album pushes the boundaries of hip-hop production. Fucking perfection!
PLEASSEEE REVIEW GOD FORGIVES!!! That shit would be soo fucking hilarioous omg.. we would love that shit so much hahah
Feefo talks about how the production outshone Aesop's lyrics. Aesop produced this album himself, the first one in a long time, since his Appleseed EP I think.
Search "Behind Skelethon" he goes through every track thoroughly for the fans on the rhymesayers page, once you watch and listen after you're like WOOOOOWWW
I love the Dead end Hiphop cats.. I agree with Myke C 95% of the time.. I am surprised Myke didn't mention that Grimace Federation are the band that gave Aes Rock live instrumentation to sample.. But still a good review
He really kills the mood for me. It would have been a decent verse on 'XXX', but it had to be stellar within the confines of that track in particular.
I was actually just coming back to hit you up. I just saw it. So my bad. I'm about to check it out.
Jay Electronica Album cover and track list are released!
i go away for a four day tourny and there is only one video to watch from you guys when I get back. FUCK.
It coming
this fucking album is the shit
Agree with Myke in that this album is close to C4C, but I don't think it will overtake it, even if Danny Browns verse upsets me.
Oh my god. I can't believe you guy took a shot at this one. I honestly thought that this one was gonna be a skip for you guys,. Anyways, very enjoyable review.
... the discussion would involve your interpretations of his music w/o being sullied by Aesop's explanations. That would have been an incredibly interesting watch - I just want to see people talk about this dude. He's too interesting to be treated like every other rapper - even if you don't like his music.
FYI: Kimya Dawson was featured on Crows 1...
lol I had same thoughts as Mike first time I heard this album I was like wtf is this.. heard this album like 3 years when it came out and I was hella disappointed .. so this last month or so I been listening to it and holy shit this album is dope as fuck ..He like totally changed his flow up and voice and shit and it took some getting used to but now I fucking love it .. lol probably my favorite aesop album then bazooka tooth and labor days.
I had the same exact discussion with Beezy and Modest Media and they didn't agree with me.
The last one was "The Zeros", LA Punk band.
Ace produced Felt 3 in its entirety also.
It's on his channel. Full album stream.
This is such a rewarding album to consider again and again.
Conyers, Ga.
I'm the same way man... haven't been able to get into this one.. may have to keep pushing through it to fall in love though!
Wow no CYHI THE PRYNCE- Ivy League Club mixtape REVIEW? Damn!!!! DEHH is tripping. CYHI is from Atlanta and since there in Atlanta they should at least give him a review. I hope they dont do rick ross review before his but still LOVE #DEHH
Mike are you guys doing Cyhi's mixtape anytime soon? oh yeah I Love how real you are and you are not afraid of being yourself. You inspire me
God I thought I was alone when it came down to his lyrics.
Tell 'em, B! Where in the fuck he would get that I would hate it, but Feefo would like it is beyond me.
This album was pretty amazing to me, even on first listen and not completely understanding all lines of the songs. Probably tied for my favorite Aesop album, Labor Days.
no doubt, I think the whole album is amazing, the bonus tracks are dope too. they came with my pre-order through email so I didn't have to order over itunes haha
I feel the opposite. He makes a lot of references that are pretty easy to connect with if you grew up in the same generation and culture that he did. He makes a lot of off hand references to literature, television, music, movies, etc that I find really easy to understand. It's a lot harder if you don't relate to him in any way.
We didn't say we were reviewing that.
Thanks.
Thanks man.
So you immediately understood every single one of them without any assistance from lyric sheets or his explanation videos?
well I am a big necro fan, I know he is not everyone's cup of tea but I enjoyed it, you should try it out.
Please, whatever you do, dont block this guy from commenting on your videos or something. I want to see how his plot to destroy Dead End plays out
Dude with the dreads was the only one who gave an honest and introspective review. He really took time to listen. I agree with his observation.
I wish you the best.
When he was saying take out the brain leave the heart in I'm pretty sure he was reffering to how the ancient egyptions thought the brain was a usless organ and they would take it out and they would leave thier heart in when they were being mummified because i think they believed it was essential for their after life or somthing like that And he's comparing his love for the cat by referencing mummification of his cat to the egyptions who also mummified cats and beleived they were gods
The production didn't outshine Aesop on this album because he's the one that produced it!
Man, I love all the comments your leaving on these videos, I look forward to seeing your review show
One of our homies.
Myke's the homie so relax dude. Oh and if you do start your channel, we'll have you on as a guest on Yahoo Chat. Let us know.
fucking love DEHH
Nice review have you guys heard public enemy - most of my heroes still dont appear on no stamp like to know what you guys think of it
hey DEHH, whats your favorite aes album? I gota go with float. I love the production on that shit by blockhead its all live music and "how to be a carpenter" is by far his best song to me.
if you go to his youtube channel he does a brief explanation of each song therealrhymesayers
lol look at marjorie in the background at the end when feefo is talkin.
A No Idols review would be nice
Yeah! That shit is so crazy, right? El and Busdriver are the only other MCs I know that do weird ass shit like that. If anyone knows others please shoot me a message.
I'm pretty sure it means precisely what you didn't think it could mean.
wish i knew someone to discuss music with
Where's the new videos? we demand at least 3 a week. Hip Hop!
im waiting for it to be processed tooo i love this show
Not a Rick Ross fan but surprisingly it has been getting good reviews at Metacritic.
One of fav albums ever. His best work I think
You should add yourself to the list of notable residents on Wikipedia page. Actually come to think of it Dead end Hip Hop should have a wiki page in general.
I am totally with you on this. I'm normally quite clued on underground acts. el-p i can get what he's on. can-ox i get but this guy I'm like "it sounds good...i like, i like...but what the fuck?!?!"
Big fan of Aesop Rock, but this album took some getting used to. Labor Days is still my favorite album by him.
And Myke I love my cat too he's only 10 weeks and sucks that yours passed away :(
or just having a "fuck authority" attitude. Music is often the outlet to vent these frustrations. That's my interpretation, just by reading the lyrics, which isn't cheating...i hope
You guys need to make more videos, this is the 4th day I have checked and you did not have a new video............
Yea you probably right I thought it was solid though might get a surprise like out of Beezy or Kinge.
PLEASE REVIEW DOMO GENISIS - NO IDOLS MIXTAPE IT ONE OF THE BEST MIXTAPES OF THE YEAR
Ruby '81 might be one of the most beautiful hip hop songs written
Started out strong but ended week after the first listen. I need a few more spins though.
Probably Beezy, he produces on his channel.
