Aesop Rock - "Catacomb Kids" Live at ZeroFriends

Aesop Rock raps while thinking of super steak nachos.

[@FIGURESKEIGHTZ]

One of the dopest live videos of Aesop Rock out there.

[@THEJPIndustry]

That's only because there are waay to few Aesop rock live performances (and videos of them)

[@fadedP]

KNOCK EM OUT THE BOX AES

[@theiceman1776]

you gotta love the guy in the flat cap mouthing the lyrics to himself

[@Skullz930]

How can you be so lyrically charismatic and be that chill. He's epic!!!!

[@ShadowVoodoo43]

God, best song on the album. And with None Shall Pass and Coffee on the same album, thats a fucking statement

[@PetrolDemon]

He constantly drops insane lines with little to no response from the crowd. The cows/burgers line is downright insane.

[@merkaba341]

It's no surprise Aes was named one of the most influential musicians of the past decade, his genius is well documented and its on full display here for all to see!

[@Thugrobb1991]

Wtf bro breath bro God like bars

[@nibblynobbler7064]

this nigga trapped a traitor as an activator and made a roof, made a weapon and made a flag per acre.

[@nzbg1132]

heard he made a fire, made a wheel and a snack for later

[@jinz132497]

Dang his flow is incredible!!

[@lukesteltenpool8878]

The best 👌🏻

[@mysteryme6655]

Zero friends still being every single fucking thing I aspire to be. Getting aesope, and friends, to come and hang out, and enjoy the most legendary times that anyone will ever enjoy

[@spicyxlilxman]

the minute that bass in the beat dropped was when i found my favorite musical artist years ago.

[@SteamPunkWillie64]

I miss Aes's long hair.

[@nolanpreece9509]

Right?

[@nolanpreece9509]

Why’d Sonic tell him to keep it short on his mtv helping skits that was whack

[@OracleTheRonin]

its back btw

[@Ivanselectsongs]

it's at its longest now

[@jux4life]

He's got wizard length hair at the moment.

[@jackcravford8744]

I love how he is almost mumbling at the start when talking to the fans with eyes closed, but as soon as he starts with the song, he will just open his eyes and starts spitting with his machete-like flow, haha

[@johnathan-starfighter9195]

beaut

[@grungebobbz]

Huh. I always thought he said "Corporate banks" in the song, then I heard this, and realized he says Brooklyn /I'm a dunce

[@uncrownedoak7777]

It'd be a great filler lyric for a reference local to his concerts.

[@kwokydow2]

Dude, I WAS THERE!!! Alex Pardee (Ice wizard) Did a drawing for me and signed it!!! =D This happened on october 30th, (The day before my birthday!) =DDD

[@YearsOfLeadPoisoning]

I heard you and your band sold your guitars and bought turntables

[@longlivethesixties]

I think I may be the only aesop fangirl who exists. I am actually in love with him..I feel like this is not a common occurrence...

[@undyingentity7015]

I'm not female but my female cousins, sister, and Mom love Aes

[@TrustTheShooters]

That ending was silly, Aesop is awesome

[@xprzzo]

that is called breathe control... and that my friends s hard to do

[@kindle9597]

I don't think any crowd that's part of a youtube video will ever be hype enough for my standards

[@osdyramirez]

i remember being the 100th viewer

[@matthewfreedberg3752]

those crazy eyes of him)

[@hubawesome]

1:54 apparently ice king likes to chill at aesop rock shows

[@Braxtonhawkins]

love Mr fish in the gnome hat

[@ThePiercepick]

Aes kills it every time

[@kdddavis986]

ONLY REAL N.Y.C SKATERS KNOW ABOUT THE LEGENDARY BROOKLYN BANKS!

[@ROOSTERSMOKES]

Grew up in Nport in the 90s, this track hits but also speaks the truth. Waiting for the halogen pop was sport, lol!

[@Phunckadelik]

@FiveYearPayoff hahahahahaha youre clueless, but at least you made me laugh real hard :D

[@notjavii8115]

If I had a time machine this is the first place I’d go

[@The_GrumpyGills]

2:47 my face the whole time I'm watching this

[@nzbg1132]

only black guy haha

[@airic554]

aaaaaaaah i wanna drop tabs with aesop

[@premeditatedlove]

Female here very much in love with Aes! ♥

[@Annafyz]

Still are

[@somesayinfire]

No offence or anything but thats bullshit. Cage has been one of the illest rappers ever from day 1 and I'm a HUGE Aes fan. Besides you cant really compare them, completely different flow, and completely different style. Everyones got their own tastes and I respect that but to say Cage is "aight" is a severe understatement.

[@curtisunit]

My first wheels in 88 belonged to an 85 hand me down dodge Aries k wagon. Painted in pussy repellent tan she died belching out black smoke still running as I walked away shaking my head laughing with ugly plastic ass fob key in hand. This song hit me.

[@coinstalker]

He looks like he's so stoned.

[@hemib1075]

Bro. Next level. I love this song. This sheeeeit gives me the goosies 🎉

[@Phunckadelik]

@FiveYearPayoff much better mate, all love =) and yeah, we all know some fail rappers fanboys, STAB EEEEEM hahah. enjoy!

[@demonhunterC]

I'm sorry but aesop rock is far better than cage, who was supposedly in the game longer than him. just sayin.

[@sammiiraee3]

Aesop Rock and Alex Pardee... unf

[@sublimesamm]

@Cakerolled Don't say shit you can't back up. All his shit is original.

[@KillaTaco94]

@Viking060893 thats the kazoo player for pigs i think

[@Ninjaskylar2015]

I'm an activator.. made a fire. made a wheel.. made a snack for later!!

[@ParadoxAssassin]

Is that eom on the way right in the crowd?!

[@ANGRYUSAMAN]

garbage pail kids unite at the mall food court!

[@Yuksek1324]

isn't that odd nosdam left in the front row?

[@MrConnorjay]

hes an artist

[@silverballer1911]

Who else here woke up in a psych ward with mismatched shoes

[@willjennings7191]

Does it make you morph?

[@NICHOLSON7777]

@Cakerolled -You're right- he's only been in the game for 15 years, worked with DJ Shadow, Walle, Spooky, El-P, Camp Lo, and dozens of others...and has written and produced 8 albums, and colab-ed on dozens. Im sorry that he's white, wears a tee shirt, and doesn't sing about how rich, tough and sexed he is. Perhaps if he were to don some gold chains, Evisu Jeans and rent a Lambo for the video, you would respect him more.

[@Annafyz]

Aes I love you so much

[@maryamni92]

2:18 xD

[@xXScissorHandsXx]

Crazy narrative while the Fish gnome conspicuously eyes the Wizard; fucker keeps trying to cast spells throughout the song. Story of my life. Just kidding, I don't have a life.

[@MrLocknar79]

This is the illest flow!!! So much better than the album version, which is my one of my favorite recordings!

[@CCDaDon15]

I've always thought of the None Shall Pass album as one that would translate well live with live instruments instead of the typical DJ show. I wonder if Aes has thought of doing something like that some time.

[@kevincurpheymusic]

This is so wonderful. Aesop Rock is by FAR the VERY best of the very best!

[@TRUE_GR1T]

I want to see the vid from the perspective of the girl in the front holding the camera. I thought she was just standing there looking bored at first but then I noticed the camera.

[@screwthenet]

I seen that dressed up HAil mary mother of JEsus, Merlin the high conjurer of funk in the backround at Turretts without Regrets. Awsome

[@joeyb6680]

Aes does not need lungs

[@BIGARMADA1988]

yeah you definitely have to listen to his songs more than a few time in order to understand what he's trying to say.

[@spicyxlilxman]

cage is aight but listening to him after the flow from aes is like riding an escalator after skydiving.

[@Fallen13337]

haha love jeremy bouncing to this song :D cage,aes,pardee & fish = the real shit,, going to come to SF someday just for u guys ;)

[@qiman2]

@NICHOLSON7777 "Yuck, is they rhymers or strippin males? Outta work jerks since they shut down Chippendale's, They chippin nails."

[@sftrajan]

Pukin pills behind a dumpster dumber that a cow on a roof in a flood - this is brilliant!

[@juturna420]

so many white people

[@fucci98]

amzn!!!!!!!!!!

[@sftrajan]

yes- the gnome is now is now in the crowd! NONE SHALL PASS NONE SHALL PASS NONE SHALL PASS

[@japas]

He probably is.

[@aiki067]

Hammer would kill everybody at once in a dance off. So that's hardly fair

[@prayergroupie]

yall saw odd nosdam in the crowd, right cause that was kinda cool

[@Scarecrowking]

Well, that could easily be because he isn't even meant to be dancing.

[@ValhallaBeckons]

This show must have been an absolute blast to attend.

[@adriancelaya6474]

Hi lol 🤣

[@scientificallygangsta6454]

i think hes making fun of the audience at the end, damn you

[@Skillionaire9]

Hey. You. Watch this.

[@Scarecrowking]

Apparently. :P

[@panda2621]

Oh guy in the gnome hat, why must you make me laugh

[@liftcontrol8453]

Like #666.

[@IrritatedOnion]

I think I've watched this video at least 50 times.

[@ALAMAZAN818]

Liking that A.Pardee shirt!

[@bradenj100]

@NICHOLSON7777 true words (Y) real hip hop

[@ZaneCase84]

this beat is only upstaged by Ace's flow

[@osdyramirez]

he's secretly Anthony Greens brother ;D

[@nathanwalker9836]

Honorary black guy at 2:48. Good job.

[@aznbum]

@mvman15 RIP.

[@AlexIsSmalll]

Jeremy Fish is the chillest gnome...

[@zeeer0psi]

[@pmflanigen]
