I’ve had a random lyric floating around my head. it’s “Out of the mist I kissed your drunken lips”. I’m sure it was an Aesop line that was featured in a largely instrumental track - I thought it was on Blockheads album Downtown Science but it’s not there.

Any ideas?

I was listening to an old episode of the Cumtown podcast (3-24-2022 Dates, ep 304) and Aesop Rock wasn’t chatted about too favourably by the hosts (discussion begins at 2:55).

Have you guys heard any other random references to Aes in the wild?

Edit: YouTube link to episode

Wonder if this’ll ever come. Did someone hit him up on a q&a before? I don’t have instagram to check what kind of stuff was asked.

Today I was laughing at a Christmas wraith(wreath) and thought it’d be fun if he did one. I know there are some Christmas bars here and there.

Edit: if he does an ama here like blockhead someone ask for me!

For context, I’m almost 40 and have been an aes fan since labour days, I like all his projects, cycle them routinely but think my favourite is spirit world.

I remember when none shall pass the single hit radio, I remember rushing home after work and combing the radio to dub it.

Copped the cd upon release and later vinyl like all his other projects.

The album itself is good, some of the beats definitely reflect that def jux era, it’s probably a little more aggressive then other projects but nothing on it is in my top 5. Yet for some reason, whenever I flick passed the record, or see the cover on Spotify/Bandcamp I’m oddly drawn to this project and I don’t know what it is?

The arts cool, the songs are cool, but I can’t fingered on what intrigues me so much about this project, anyone get this?

— Mess is just a perfect AES album around 40 minutes, never gets long in the tooth… this has been bumping weekly in my rotation for almost a year straight by now

The production matches the theme so well and AES is spitting some real topical truths

Not putting it in my Top 3, but this shit BANGS and is exactly what I look for in a rap album

— Garbology was an instant classic for me on the day it dropped, the 4 piece it ends with after the Homeboy Sandman track is just God tier in every fucking way, loop that 4 track sequence for me for eternity

A few tracks on this are very experimental and AES knocks it out the park

Legerdemain is a classic S tier track with one of my favorite choruses ever laid on wax

— Labor Days the classic Post Y2K and 9/11 era album… just matches the vibe of the era perfectly, where the future seemed hopeless and turbulent with George Bush at the helm, piloting the Iraq invasion over imaginary weapons of mass destruction, and like the trillionaires were about to enslave the whole world through finding ways to soon track our every move and word (not like that actually happened, right???)

This is the ultimate Despotic, Underground rap album, and it’s truly a masterpiece deserving to be studied for 100s of years, with the production in lock-step with Aesop’s laborious fables being spun on wax

— Skelethon is simply one of the greatest rap albums ever made, I love Aesop’s production on this thing, it’s his best beats IMO and he is rapping like his soul depends on it…. Crows 1, Cycles to Gehenna, Gopher Guts, Fryerstarter, the highs on this are as high as Hip Hop gets

I know this sub loves Impossible Kid and None Shall Pass, those albums never really did it for me, I got BHS, SWFG, and ITS over both of those FWIW

I seen someone post this poster a couple weeks back and I looked into it. Found a site of the guy who worked at MySpace and started the whole MySpace secret show thing. He had these posters made for every show they did and handed them out to the audience. Well he kept the #1 out of whatever the run was for that show and I guess after 10 years he decided to part ways with them. Pretty dope show poster. The pics do it no justice. This thing looks amazing in person. Also here is our Klee Kai mix.

Be vary afraid

I’m not the best at green screening but I guess it’s fine

Okay hear me out this is a hot take for sure, but I would love to hear Aes rap over some trap&drill type of production. I feel like he would murder these beats and also it would expand his audience. Just imagine a song like Gauze but with one of these beats. I would also love a Lupe feature on that song.

What do you guys think?

Brooo everybody getting downvoted is crazy😭

Hello there...I wanted to do an impromptu AMA on reddit leading up to the release of "Trouble mountian" and this honestly seemed like the best place for it. Plus I am home with a cold so I got time today. So, ask me stuff and I will do my best to respond. All I ask is to be respectful and nothing too spicy 😂

thanks to all who participated! while I am still under the weather , at least I feel like today wasn't a total wash 😂 hope yall are ready for November 13th!

This sounds like an aes line fr

Honestly just go

I think this is the best frame in the new music video

I love this man so much

I've been going through a skateboard collection from an acquaintance who passed away a while back. There's a lot of interesting stuff, including this Spirit World Field Guide deck.

It's never been mounted, gripped, or skated. Just has a little wear from being stored.

I'm familiar with Aesop Rock, but I don't really follow his music. I came across this deck and started looking into it, and apparently they're pretty scarce. Figured this would be a good place to share it.
