Aesop Rock "Kirby" explained: Reaction, Review, Breakdown, Analysis. The Finale!

[@jessedonnellan]

I always took the line "Good around misery and Golden Era samplers" to mean that Kirby is quite happy to to hang around, and keep him company while Aes is making beats with his MPC (which is a sampler most commonly used in the golden era of HIp Hop).

True!

Does your daughter listen to "Long Legged Larry"? Such a kid friendly song from Aes. They could play that on sesame street!

[@jordienoel5542]

I’ve always interpreted “Bet, more than a pet to worship” as a reference to Bastet, the Egyptian goddess of protection and healing who is depicted as a cat. Another thing I love is that Shrink was in an arcade, and he named his cat, who his therapist suggested, after an old video game 😂

Loved all 5 of these videos! Would love to hear you breakdown Gopher Guts by Aes or do a reaction to Suicidal Failure by Cage! I could watch people breakdown dope bars all day long haha.

Hey I just saw your reaction of Atmosphere - Little Man. I guess you would also be impressed with the song "Yesterday" by Atmosphere. You can give it a try if you have the time. :) Stay healthy. :)

i love the album context review style videos you've got going on here, very much a fan of this album and this run of tracks, though i've identified it as a 4-run from blood sandwich. Gotta go back to supercell i guess.

[@chizzek-juan7679]

Supercell is really, really cryptic. I saw a connection between the other four tracks much earlier, for sure. But def check out the supercell breakdown or at least other people's takes on the lyrics in rapgenius. It's SO dense and packed with meaning. I don't know how he does it.

[@paprika2058]

@@chizzek-juan7679 amazing, thanks for the suggestion! ill check out your breakdown along my journey of getting to the center of it. glad KZbin recommended your channel.

[@FremontMetalHead]

i always thought the "soon to be hailed the greatest of all warriors" line is just in reference to kirby being the warrior - likely due to the fact that house cats are still considered to be wild animals, and because everyone thinks their pet is the best. just my interpretation lol

[@ShattuckEsteban]

Your comparison of aes and tom macdonald is spot on.
