every time I hear this song I'm always blown away. He has such a raw, fast, and beautiful style. My face is melting. Most of the time I can keep up with rap and sing with the song but I can't with Aesop He Packs so many words and meaning into such a small space It's truly amazing. Whats great about his songs is when you look close enough they all mean something and it's not just some repetitive chorus or gibberish. He is a real artist of Words.

"Anyone object come stand in my way, you could be my little Snake River Canyon today". Genius.

[@ugene1975]

you gotta digg it......aesop rock is the star that shine's in this verbal galaxy.....

[@thereturnofda111]

aesop rock one of the best of all time. imo the best mc i've ever heard is one be lo though. the guy is outta this world. sonogram is the best hip hop album ever and masters of the universe is in the top 5. incredible. underground forever.

[@VinzZissou78]

Hip hop isn't dead, it's just not available to the weak minded masses anymore. Let them drown in the mainstream while we honor and welcome the classics and the new of hip hop.

[@oheymardyjay]

i'd be lying if i claimed i could comprehend everything that aes says in his songs. but what sets him apart is the fact that despite not knowing what the hell he may be talking about, you can still somehow feel and relate to all the things he says.

[@max2icey]

Busdriver + Aesop = Realest Song Ever Made i need to see them do one just one song or album together i would buy it

[@thereturnofda111]

out of these 1.5 million views 1.45 million are from me. what a song, what a legend, what a shame he isn't on the airwaves 24/7

[@Juuiicerr]

Blockhead is a magician of beats and Aesop is the voice that makes it all work.

[@Vaskadar]

It is a good song. My interpretation of it is that in spite of all our problems and differences, with desires to leave, but they can't be attained. In the end things don't exactly change, because we're all human.

[@thagrammarnazi]

i love how no matter what great rapper i type in i always get pulled to aesop, king.

[@Ryansemidecentrapsta]

This song is a work of art man.

[@penguinsauce87]

jeremy fish is an AMAZING illustrator, and i don't even need to compliment ace you guys already know

[@TheSpudnic]

This guys just real unique. One of the best underground poets in the game. Loving his style and other progressive MCs like EL-P, Eyedea, Sage Francis, Cage, Brother Ali, Saul Williams, Scroobius Pip, B.Dolan, AllFlaws

[@thetraveler9]

MF Shark: He adds detail, brings light to the underground nature of things that people don't like to mention. There's a lot of stress underneath the scenes of things. Confusion takes over those that hold money as God. It's abstract, man.

[@EricAteEverybody7]

Blood turns wine with a leak to police, like, that's not a riot, it's a feast, let's eat! Best line I've ever heard.

[@itsBenBlack]

I remember when this video had about 200,000 views. I'm glad to see music as creative as this is getting the recognition it deserves.

[@Cryptopsy9666]

truth is most people dont understand whart he;s sayingbut thats because Aesop rock is a very very smart man. peace!~

[@DeltaAirlinesFlyer]

This song is awesome! I first listened to it a year ago today while driving around in Phoenix Arizona! I will always remember that day, because of this epic song!

[@noznibor]

I love Jeremy Fish' artwork. It's simple while having such depth in detail.

[@retrovirus61]

im glad to see an Aesop video getting a mill+ views

[@typhoonH]

Simply amazing. Aes and Fish.

[@justjane4778]

aesop rock... never go commercial. please. atmosphere did and it hurts my heart to see it happen.....

[@nightfall91]

after having this song stuck in my head i just had to pick up the album on vinyl. Labor days was fantastic

[@MainBrainDaneInsane]

I love the beat in this song. Aesop Rocks!

[@AlaskanAssassin87]

just came from the aesop show up here in alaska, this song was last. missed closing time at the liquor stores to stick around for it. it was worth it

[@mybigwang1]

the kind of music that reminds people of their childhood

[@mrallen94]

first time listening to aesop rock. loving this!

[@MrPantallica]

I cannot stand any mainstream rap, and until I heard Aesop Rock rap as a whole. This guy throws rhymes like nobody's business.

[@groalerable]

statements like that make even fewer people want to listen to music like aesop rock.

[@ZohanJr]

Aesop Rock is the Shakespeare of our time, anyone disagree?

[@MentallyJuiced]

Ace Rock is the best. I wish he would come to Seattle.

[@ZooDeVille]

Atmosphere, Brother Ali, Living legends, Eyedea and abilities, P.O.S.

[@jaronnewyork]

first time hearing Aesop... nice, another addition to my abstract hip hop collection

[@Siboba9]

thats the awesomeness of his stuff, he and only a few others can ever know the true meaning

[@TheChimppower]

some true rythme and poetry right here.

[@infamousreligion93]

Aesop Rock is A Lyrical wizard

[@slums77]

aesop is so cool. jeremy is an amazing artist.

[@nemesis465]

wow...this song is amazingly refreshing for the hip hop scene, sick they should make this kinda innovative hip hop more main stream

[@S1KK]

i cant believe this has more den a million views, congrats aesop for your success. Youve always deserved it keeping that real hiphop alive. THANK YOUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@BobbyDieMond]

im not sure if i really like aesop's rap style but there's some really good song that i really like from him.

[@personalfavorite]

my only regret, if I have any, is that it took me so many years to realize it was underground/indie tendencies that I have. thanks S!

[@Calloffish15]

beautiful song… super nostalgic to me.

[@pojo10]

Wow, great video, aesop always brings the heat.. Long Live The Underground The V.A.

[@Kotkau]

this beat is just sick + lyrics and flow makes it awesome

[@slapbassboy1]

Man, I don't care what anyone says this song and video are dope.!!!

[@VarXMCcool1]

loveeeeee this Aesop Rock song

[@dano1676]

one of my favs from aesop

[@jolenaddy]

This song is so good. The lyrics make a lot sense if you look at the big picture, and they're amazing. Also, the vid looks great.

[@jonmon6691]

2:29 is the point where I think the song is over but Aesop just keeps fucking rapping and it keeps being fucking awesome.

[@GiantBurritoOfDeath]

Look, what this song made me do is take my time. I looked at the lyrics, the different interpretations of it, and the possible connections. This song made me stop and think. That is a hell lot more that what I can say for any song on the radio that claims to be proper rap.

[@ramafia09]

aesop rock, el-p, mf doom. these three guys have the most unorthodox yet amazing flow.

[@jonrwert]

not to mention some slick spitting skills, especially the end of the final verse

[@ryanz11]

wow finally someone who isnt spewing garbage, how refreshing

[@raheenb]

Amazing hip-hop video...I wish music like this was more popular than all the junk that's out there now

[@BDD420]

I dont think anyone can write this, i've listened to aesops albums over and over again on my ipod at work and the more you listen to it the more sense it makes this is actually one of his simpler songs, the bazooka tooth album is probably his most complex. He is a very talented artist with an excellent rhyme scheme the reason he raps the way he does is to be original and avoid the usual copycat artist who plague every genre of music

[@VISHUSLY]

AESOP ROCK IS DA SHIT THE DEFFINITION OF HIP HOP SHOUT OUT TO ALL THE DEF JUX

[@ForzaItalia33]

i find the video come across different to everyone, like it means something to me, but it probably could mean something completely different to the next person, it gives off different hidden messages, same with the lyrics thats what i love about this type of music

[@TheDrooch]

I think Vinne Paz (JMT) puts it best, "This is hip hop kid, shit is straight from the heart. You an actor with a record deal tryin' ta play the part"

[@mrnicemr1]

song and video: nothing but genius!

[@Based_Face]

such a dope video, jeremy fish is a crazy artist.

[@Re4perZer0]

i like this artistic concept in his and cyne's music videos

[@icewaltz222]

definitive jux has alot of bad ass underground artists

[@zozzy69]

brilliant. absolutely adoring this.

[@thetotcky]

I don't even care for rap, but you just got a fan. Amazing stuff.

[@MCSubliminalSol]

underground has never been stronger

[@randomhenchmen]

aesop is the man, this video is sick

[@iTokeDMT]

i love the artistic expression of metaphystical life

[@FTRSNZ]

Words in rhythm with the beat, without focusing on the voices pitch, focusing more on the story and the way the words fit together rhythmically.

[@GregBoal]

I love Aesop Rock, but I wish more of his songs had beats like this one. At the same time though, I feel like most of his songs emphasize his surreal lyrics (which is his primary achievement) better.

[@TheLauraalein]

amaaaaaaazing ! I love this song !

[@KidZiLLah]

@TheSpudnic *Yeah, is Spudnic's award ready? . Oh, Ok.* Here you go sir. This one is called mad props.

[@AnthonyDuran]

Beautifully said

[@KingJames23152315]

All i can say is: incredible song and great video!!!

[@PotentialThall]

@tetrisclock the best ryhmes will always and forever will be underground hip hop

[@vontuur]

Aesop, One love

[@vaiority]

I wasn't too crazy about Aesop Rock ...until I heard this song.

[@RATLordGeno]

Aesop Rock is simply the finest. And this is the best fucking video I've ever seen. Anyone with something bad to say can blog about it.

[@slicedurango27]

this song,strobe light, fog machine and a few beers makes a good party

[@MFSHARK]

Finally, someone with sense.

[@shadowchickenmango]

Just discovered this dude and his rhymes and beats fucking blow my mind.

[@tomwjc]

i can't get over this beat

[@baskunoreppin]

Video is genious and this song is the best

[@PimpTasticBling]

There are some of Aes' songs that I can decipher a meaning from, and then there are songs like this. Regardless of what the song is about, You've got to appreciate how articulate and intelligent Aes is... And just because I said I'm not sure what the meaning of the song is doesn't make it an invitation for you to offer your punk-ass explanation of the meaning, sometimes good songs are meant to remain ambiguous.

[@juuughead]

my fav aesop song...

[@raheenb]

Amazing video, amazing artist.

[@zzdave39]

Saw him and Kimya Dawson tonight at Portland's Wonder Ballroom. Damn. Awesome show.

[@SamnissArandeen]

Nice job. This gives me even more inspiration for my indie rap project.

[@Ziniho0608]

you cant beat aesop rock videos for people fighting and using 'big' words while also saying fuck every few sentences no other artist provokes such intellectual rage which is often the funniest rage to watch

[@EvWuzhere]

this is my convo w my best friend "so whats aesop rocks deal?" "huh?" "i really like his messages but im not sure i get his whole philosphy" "tripper." "wha?" "hes just a big tripper man" CHILLLL. this really didn t have much of a point to it but yeah

[@iiParker]

I could out-do that fool by singing happy birthday through an office fan

[@maxboya]

most trippyiest video ever!!!!!!!!!!!

[@HenriWoohoo]

FLAWLESS VICTORY

[@btzm]

always sweet music

[@blahk1234454]

All hail intelligent hip-hop!

[@cshill2275]

WTF DAMN THIS IS A DAMN GOOD SONG. WOW. WOW. ... DAMN.

[@nutripals]

i hate the fact that this song came out in 2007 and i am hearing it for the first time in 2011. this dude is fucking epic

[@AllTriforces]

I demand another album!!!

[@bdsw420]

[@cjmcallister89]
