Sweet thanks for the Bach list. Can't wait to see the next mashup! Keep it up for sure.

[@josh-dev]

This is wild man. Amazing job.

[@michaelerossable]

I'm a piano teacher, lots of Bach over the years, and have also been obsessed with Aes since Labor Days. Never have I ever thought these two geniuses could work together. Your work is seriously brilliant and extremely fun! Will be ready for what's next.

[@redzedda]

Please never stop making music, this is nothing but beautiful.

[@jeffswem4512]

Wow. It's been a while since I've found a mashup to be creative and work well, this is incredible. Even the name is simply too good. Bravo.

[@trepacdk]

Someone pls send this to Bach. He need to hear it 💯

[@tuckergiberson2482]

[@ThinkerOnTheBus]

@@ZephyrAvoxel Time is a necessary illusion.

[@kgreen242424]

Listen, Bach was in the studio to rerecord some parts. As I understand it, he had some input on the final cut too so don't listen to whatever they say. Bach isn't just a ghost writer, he will show up and hop on a track if the project is right. Example, this project is underwritten by his label so yeah

[@charocyte]

Neither Bach nor Rock's genius is overshadowing the other. No chic flashy gimmicks or theatrics despite the concept. This is pure heat.

[@sebastiandingleswitch3757]

Man's been done for hundreds of years yet it slaps

To the former best friend that showed me Aesop years ago, thank you man.

Former?

lol I know what you mean! My friend that exposed me to AESOP will always be invited to thanksgiving dinner.

Do I know yall? I have a handful I introduced him to. Got lucky with pandora/music genome project back in the day and found him myself and spread the good word to all who would listen.

PLAESE!

[@MrMochi-nl1zb]

Aesop Rock fans make the most madman concept mashups, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

[@JakobRitter10]

Aesop should let u release this officially

[@upinsmokeproductions6471]

Be an instant buy on a vinyl too.

[@philtorrez4198]

After listening to this, I have come to the realization that only now I have finally experienced true happiness.

[@makimikkelson]

What this? I always thought that after Bach, music only went downwards. Then heared Aesop Rock and started reconsider. But what now? It‘s like… thanks!

[@roadto200million]

piano in "get out of the car" fits better than the original. nails the emotion

Grey album, Wugazi and now Aesop Bach. My top 3 mash up albums and this one is genius.

[@TommyLee-bm9fe]

Aesop one of the best to ever do it. I remember being obsessed with DefJux for the longest time. Bazooka Tooth / Float. Those Were The Best Days Of My Life !!!

[@i_am_non_a]

definitely, man. my cd binder was slammed with def jux back in the day.

[@maxichamberlain1021]

Yo what did I just stumble upon. I hope somehow Aes gets to hear this, I think he would appreciate it.

This version of Mystery Fish has no Right going harder than the original

Nah son this is just unfairly good. *Grabs puffy wig*

[@garrettd27]

My brother from another mother we can rap to anything or we can rap to nothing as long as we get to rap I don't give a crap slap a label on this and you won't be disappointed underrated overlooked but he speaks as if he's appointed so they anointed him now he's here to begin what was again and remind us all what lies within

[@TommyGFPV]

Just scrolled through hundreds of comments - all giving the highest of praises. I cannot stress how happy this album makes me and its good to see that others are in agreement. It's just so good, this has become a daily listen, at least once!

[@davidthomas9190]

It just works so well 😊

[@acousticfossils1266]

I think the drums are exquisitely executed and don't at all take away from the classical back bone.

[@RobotsMakeMusic]

There's some really genius stuff going on here with how you arranged it holy cow. Also look mom my devil music is classy now 🍷

[@i_am_non_a]

SHAKESPEARE OF HIP HOP WITH THE ORINGNATOR OF HARMONY 😮 SOMEONE IS GOING TO INVENT SOMETHING THAT CHANGES HUMANITY LISTENING TO THIS❤

[@reisspowell1353]

I consider myself an amateur connoisseur of mashup concepts. I know the big hitters of the last decade or so. Jaydiohead, Wu/Beatles, etc. I could go on. This is by far the very best mashup concept album I have ever heard. I just listened to it three times through. It’s astonishing. An absolute masterpiece. Per the top comment on this video now states, “it feels like I just found religion”. I have no better one liner sentiment to improve upon that. People will be talking about this one for decades. Recap of my first few listen throughs: raised eyebrow, mouth ajar, with the occasional “oh my god” and “No fucking way”. Track 8, Big Bang, is on repeat.

[@i_am_non_a]

Damn. Thank you so much. 🙏🙏

[@frost9681]

The timing on the beat for the None Shall Pass remix is genuinely perfect

Welcome to the world of Mashups. lol Sometimes they're called Versus, sometimes they're called [artist] x [artist]. Aesop with Bach, Sewerslvut with death grips, Tool with Taylor Swift, so on and so forth.

Ian is a God amongst men. My hero.

[@LysanderSpooner-zl5vm]

“None Shall Pass” mixed w/ Bach… beautiful!

The drums tie everything together so smoothly its not even something you consciously notice at first but it's damn near perfect

Are you out of your mind?? You can't drop something like this on YT and take over my playlist for the next month this easily. haha. Aesops grungy voice over those smooth Bach sounds, yikes! This is an ear orgasm masterpiece.

hahaha I'm glad you're digging it. Thank you. Got another coming...hopefully before 2023 ends.

[@GrowingUpAutie]

Ok, look. This is one of the best things I've heard this year if not in my entire life.

[@urmumsbaps]

When I was around 17/18 years old and getting into music production and beatmaking for the first time I had the same brilliant idea to make an album of hip-hop beats out of classical pieces and layer acapellas over the top, inspired mostly by Busdriver's "Imaginary Places". Every single thing I made was utter shit. The beats sucked, the mixes sucked, the acapellas didn't fit and I gave up. It definitely humbled me and I've since got better at producing over the years since then, but it makes me so happy to hear that someone else has done what I couldn't do and done it so fucking well. Really nice work.

[@i_am_non_a]

Thanks man. What composers and rappers were you mashing up back then?

[@conker690]

SPOTIFY PLEASE I NEED THIS IN MY VEINS

[@quantumjoss]

I'm usually not into putting rappers bars on your own beats but this is first one I've seen where someone clearly really understands aesop's flow. This is the kind of badass creativity i've been looking for in shit like this, nice one dawg 👌

[@i_am_non_a]

Thanks dude!

[@MookieGee101]

This is definitely top notch. But there are tons of great examples of laying acapella versions of songs over sampled and/or new beats. Repurposing existing versions of instrumentals & acapellas is a quintessentially hip-hop endeavor. We have to tolerate the failed attempts so we can enjoy the successes.

[@PEACEOUTPAT]

@@MookieGee101 i wish more people were out here tolerating my failure, props

[@jean-lucvautour9789]

​@@PEACEOUTPATI'll check out your channel after this album, B!

[@PEACEOUTPAT]

​@@jean-lucvautour9789 imagine you're about to go on stage and perform for the first time, but before they call you out, they call out special surprise guests Aesop Rock and Johann Sebastian Bach for a surprise duo set. I would leave for sure instead of having to follow that act. My music obviously doesn't belong in the same category as theirs, few peoples music actually would, but, maybe it still has some sort of artistic merit idk. Appreciate it either way if you do or you don't, we're all still one to me

[@MrKnewItAll]

My compliments to the chef! The drums, bass & scratches are spectacular all the way through!

[@slanjbo]

The feverish passion of two genius artists. This is musical time travel. It almost slows Aesop’s ADHD flow down by a 1/16th of a beat signature. Well done. Holy fuc.k

[@trepacdk]

I desperately need this on vinyl

[@JohnJimMilton]

Same! 😂

[@raindaresmusic]

is that even possible?? i've got $50 on a preorder right now if i could for sure.

This is all pretty great. The beat on Mystery Fish is so fucking sick. Repeated that one a few times.

[@LexK137]

This is amazing but I can't help but wonder how it would sound without the drum and bass. Seems like Aes' flow and Bach compositions are already clockwork enough.

[@edwinm3316]

I used to make fun of classical music nerds being like "oh the drama of this movement" insert movement jokes, get it a bit now with a voice inside, banger of a mix, appreciate you kept some of the fluidity from the track beat and let the classical augment the highs and lows of lyrics. Thanks, needed this
