i saw aesop at one of his ACTUAL sets not playing one song on LIVE tv for the first time. Give the guy a break he is a very reclusive person, he was out of his comfort zone. Trust me at his concerts its way different. The only other artist I have seen who has stage performance like him is tech n9ne. Aesop raps his entire songs unlike a lot of artists i see only doing one or two verses and he doesnt have hype man doing every other line like some do. Also talk about performance ive never heard a rapper who enunciated every word as well as aesop. You may have no idea what hes talking about but you hear every word clear as day unlike eminem which is like trying to understand an auctioneer eating a pb&j sandwich

@Bartholomule018 жыл бұрын
The good thing is that even though truly digging leads to a better appreciation of his lyrics, the lyrics on "Impossible Kid" are less veiled for the most part as compared to earlier projects. So it has the potential to have larger appreciation, also he really nailed the production this time around. A lot of people got less interested when Blockhead quit being part of the equation but Aes has found a style that really fits him, a definite improvement from "Skelethon" back in 2012.
@kellyrankin88448 жыл бұрын

+Kelly Rankin Yeah, I actually do like "Skelthon" but I guess 8 personally like the beats better on "Impossible Kid" "Skelethon" is actually the first full solo project I listened to by Aes. His project with Kimya is what I first heard, I was a bit familiar with Kimye and thought it sounded like an interesting idea. I definitely got interested in Aes from there with all the heart he put into his lyrics on that project, so I checked "Skelethon" as it was the closest release at the time, glaf I found him overall, I have dug quote a bit deeper since then.
@ronark49338 жыл бұрын
I listened to his earlier work via recommendation from a coworker. Not being a fan of hip-hop I found it very jarring. But, then I stumbled upon The impossible kid, and though the lyrics are still very cryptic and enigmatic, I found it very appealing. The more I listen, the more I get him. It took awhile, but I've really began to appreciate his earlier work. It's like jazz; if you don't know what you're listening to, odds are you won't like it. But, if you're acclimated to the style/atmosphere of the music, you can find an appreciation for it. When you become aware of the technical aspects of such a high caliber lyricist, it's a lot easier to digest what they're saying and at least begin to comprehend it.

Got into Aesop Rock from the THPS series. Took me a while to truly realize his genius and he still surprises me everytime he drops something. One of my inspirations alongside Atmosphere and MF DOOM. Sidenote: I love how this bassline sounds live, that tone is dope.

Aes is the best out there in my opinion. His lyrics are just insane and his beats are so original. The Impossible Kid is his best, also my opinion, which is great because he's only gonna get better. Saw him live last year and he was incredible and you could tell he really enjoyed being there even in a small room in Maine. On the other hand I saw J. Cole, who i think is really talented for a mainstream artist, and he put on a terrible show. Barely gave a fuck to be there. It was nice to see someone like Aes kill it and appreciate his fans!!

Debuts on live TV can never be taken back, but they can take you aback. Aesop has been Laboring since back in the Days. Phenomenal rendition. Also, where's the props for Rob Sonic?

Man, i come back to this video and everytime im surprised by the fact that the audience kind of fucks with it, even if they don't know him, it seems like they enjoyed the performance and something about that warms my heart

For an introductory song they could have picked something a little different like, mystery fish or rabies, but it's good he's getting some kind of mainstream recognition

Dorks is very ironic for his TV debut, probably why he chose it

PorterHouseProductions I know he's got his reasons, but I was saying dorks is kinda of a heavy song for new listeners

it's not irony, it's a big FU to the industry on national TV

I think a relatable like Blood Sandwich would have been a good song to do but it's still sick.

Great performance, Question: Why the Fack is this video is private? How much longer do we have to hold back the good music from mainstream progress? Guess it's just a party over there... Love ya Aesop.
