Do I have issues because I can fall asleep to Aesop? ... .. DAYDREAMING? .. .. :-D

This song will always be musically genius. From the beat to the melody, and the lyrics to the transition. I will never not love this song.

Sitting in rehab in a forrest in sweden listening to this. "All i ever wanted..."

I get it but blue flowers

Doom doesn’t have an equal, but this guy is close

listened to this since day 1. its a core memory now. man the world went to shit since then.

✊🏾

I got no words besides wrap your earholes twice and rinse before you ….

yo im one of the only people in my school who likes aesop rock

Wow I'm stil here in 2024. Timeless music.

Really hit chilli

"Life's not a bitch, life is a beautiful woman, you only call her a bitch because she won't let you get that pussy." Damn dawg

I first heard this stuff via file sharing when the internet was still groovy. It was quite exciting to hear something so expressive and outside my own experience.

This nigga is trash lmao I bet his fan base just white boys who wanna be in our culture so bad 😢

Still listening in 2024 and for the foreseeable future 😎

The first song that got me hooked. Went home to look up the lyrics and memorized every syllable. Ever since then, I keep Aesop in my pocket.
