Aesop Rock - Basic Cable (Official Lyrics)

[@brodyklaus5503]

This whole album has such a unique feel to it that is hard to explain.

[@OracleTheRonin]

haunted, demented, anxious, familiar, ...perfect?

[@aldayalnite]

Slow and slinky at warp speed

[@aceyoshy6]

It's crazy how relevant this still is. Tv can just be another metaphor for any electronic media we use

[@bloawblahnloaoktfinblah4381]

It’s never been more relevant than now. Take a look around brother.

[@connorollive308]

goddamn this is well written

[@Mikejmcgro]

so well written

[@JerseySlayer]

Some of the best lyrics I've ever heard right here. Beat matches the mood perfectly. It took me a long time to appreciate this song but I'm glad I found it again

[@reedtheinfinite]

This dude just explained TV in the most insane way I’ve ever fucking heard

[@ntobekobuhlebezwemkhefa712]

2020 south Africa. Am sitting on this couch.. "must not sleep", "must warn others"

[@ntatesikwane]

Word!! lmao

[@blazelmtdedtn]

i feel sorry for the people who have never heard of aesop.

[@chrystianshayne]

I feel sorry for the people who think he's just rhyming random words with no meaning behind them.

[@blazelmtdedtn]

Shayne Chrystian some of his songs feel that way, this track in particular is not one of them. in my 22 years of being alive i have never heard a song that i can relate to as much as this one.

[@RookieFrnndz]

Lmao! Riiight! 🤣😎

[@johnsergeant4206]

Basic Cable is a fucking masterpiece. Thank you for the lyrics man

[@GnarlyBeats94]

Well, fuck ._. I think ill be purchasing library card soon..

[@dumbassgoogle]

Any sci fi?

[@Whatsinmypocket]

I miss Wild Discovery. Used to fall asleep to the back to back airings.

[@bugguy9092]

i feel so good when i have spotify going and i hear those soothing cellos and i know about to hear this song.

[@amora3748]

fuck this made me tear and cry at the line about Mother.. since she got this boyfriend of hers he bought this smart tv and installed it in the garage.. she neverrr leaves the garage.. even falls asleep in there on the couch watching that crap.. She watches shit from the 1920's and 50s but i feel its still just as bad if not worse, because the ciggerette commercials tellin her to continue to smoke

[@NotraNaum]

Legendary

[@XxAfroCoreBassxX]

For years I figured from the "Riddle me with Glee" bar from this song is a prediction of the TV Show Glee characters' deaths

[@azi9_ity]

Referred by a friend. Can't believe I never knew about this guy.

[@JerseySlayer]

I want to see the five day forecast fourteen days in advance so I can give my two weeks notice everyday the sun dance Check out the beginnings - Appleseed, Music for Earthworms, and Labor Days

[@g.fweber]

Blockhead is a fucking genius

[@XiviiStaar]

Now replace the TV with your phone

[@christophermartin-xq7lz]

[@AdrianEN]

[@diul491]

12 dislikes? Haha. Wow

[@WhatSmada]

[@annfenchlokentaz8592]

Intro Stolen music from Ravi Shankar & Philip Glass "Offering", also in "It must be heaven" movie by Eli Suleimane....

[@petercheese7202]

It's called sampling. Hip hop was founded on sampled beats from older genres of music.

[@imbackbitch2126]

cloned?

[@imbackbitch2126]

u love advertisements? then why expose the truth about them i dont think u love advertisements at all i hope

[@incoherentsanity5334]

What is satire?

[@aguywholefthometospreadgod5144]

For those of you lacking the abstract comprehension to decipher this song, its about watching church on tv.

[@klink4313]

a guy who left home to spread gods word This is the most pretentious comment on KZbin.

[@jimmiebentley6608]

It's quite simply about how the media brainwashes people. Think "They Live" Why do you think they call them T.V. Provrams?

[@jimmiebentley6608]

Programs, rather.

[@76shogun1]

No tit...the TV is GOD.

[@clintmcallister1647]

OsSloth As a fan of Tool, I’ve seen much worse on here haha

[@imbackbitch2126]

how u gunna expose and then claim u love television are u mocking or what make up ur mind geez

[@antichrist7608]

is this real? do you want me to try to answer this?

[@mimseydemon1844]

Frank Zappa would appreciate this one.
