Aesop Rock - Pigeonometry (Official Audio)

[@Frank_Grimes]

Wonder what Mike Tyson would think about a pigeon hip-hop track

[@onradioactivewaves]

Probably lick a toad together

There’s no pigeon emoji 😡

My pigeon got ate by a hawk. Guess i was too friendly. Next itteration. This is not a cult

[@FamilyTrees]

Like a fu*kin churro

[@jck9055]

there's no such thing as a wild street pigeon. they're all feral descended from domesticated rock doves to be kept as pets. not even native to turtle island. they know we used to be friends. they don't really know what happened or why things are this way now. it kind of fucks me up sometines

[@dirtiestdevil6669]

Produced and written! This is Aes in his purest form. Excuse me while I inject this.

[@brandonfields613]

This song right here is fucking great. Really enjoying all the eastern guitars laid throughout the album

[@Kybroma]

Honestly it's easier to pick up your jaw when you're laying down, I'd say just call it a day. :P

[@rogerhill9559]

It feels like a Meta commentary on the album. It was supposed to be a concept album aside from "Mindful Solutionism" most of the tracks don't fit with the ITS theme. Instead we got an album full of unique bangers.

[@SPELTMUSIC]

best track on the new album. the imagery is insane, the production is absolutely fucking wild with all the little nuances that build throughout the beat, and the whole concept and message of the song just makes me rethink everything in my life

[@dougfishback3116]

"See, the point was always celebrate the individual vessel / That I pitched a package deal at all was pretty disrespectful." Genius.

Y'all got any names for those vague "ancient peoples"?

​@@Powhusku Plenty of "Old World" civilisations, including the usual suspects Mesopotamians and Egyptians, Cappadocia was also pretty early to the game. And that's what we know from written and pictorial records. Pigeon bones don't last very long, so it's impossible to say when it happened for the very first time, but it's def a long time ago.

[@badjokezach6359]

Legendary prose. Also I love the pointing out about how doves are pigeons yet we treat them different.

[@TsuFox1]

Except for the fact that doves aren't pigeons. Same family of animals, different breed. That's like saying a golden retriever and a German Shepard are the same thing.

[@badjokezach6359]

@@TsuFox1 Except that’s a false comparison. Doves/Pigeons are literally the same animal order: Columbidae. The only real difference is “doves” are smaller and “pigeons” are larger.

[@TsuFox1]

@@badjokezach6359 doves are smaller, stockier, have completely different colored eyes, and are slightly more intelligent than pigeons. They are not the same breed of animal

[@badjokezach6359]

Songs like this and "Rings" make me wonder how many amazing songs and tracks Aes has thrown away. We need another release like The Blob!

[@firstnamelastname5751]

As someone who aspires to do figure paintings and fine art in general, and a huge fan of Aes, this song really hits for me

[@zackcohn]

just start with a thousand.

[@WhizzerdSupreme]

The best part is that it's a song about artists, not pigeons

[@thehongkongbong]

wait what the fu-...

[@WhizzerdSupreme]

@@thehongkongbong Pigeon Sketch Artist sees Da Vinci's Codex and replaces his passion with ambition to do what Da Vinci did, then it backfires. Artists have a tendency to compare themselves to other more famous and/or more expert artists (as one of them I can confirm lol), and I think this song is a sort of cautionary tale to warn people against replacing their passion with an overt ambition.

[@str_rug]

100% true. I'm glad you caught it as well, especially since the next song on the album is literally about art/tagging/graffiti

[@purplesun3792]

Its about pigeons

[@iluomopeloso]

It's really about anything you want to create. I could absolutely see it applying to my engineering. Did I get into it to write 1000 drawing changes? 1000 is a lot. Then again, people gotta pay the bills somehow.

[@rxibot]

I was just informed by my friends on the internet that people hate pigeons. Let us remember that the reason why these pigeons exist the way they do is because we brought them here. We use them and because we got the telephone we didn't need them anymore. So let's not hate on an animal that did its job for us and made us a better society. Let's embrace the role that pigeon's played in our life and understand because of an action that we did caused them to be what they are today. Let's love the animals that made us better. Love pigeons like a horse!

[@vizulefllry]

Was it an injured rescue or do you just claim free life forms as your property?

[@melvinjansen2338]

Same. A baby was born on my balcony. Landlord told me to kick out the nest. I shooed away the parents as asked and put up a net, but the baby did nothing wrong, so i took care of it. Now its my pet

[@MultiLightDark]

This song made me really think because you can relate this message to a lot of things. The conversation about drawing 1000 pigeons can also be symbolic which may if been intended

[@LaurenceARobinson]

"Hold a can of ruby like a spam musubi In a blink I turn a block or two to pomegranate smoothie" - Aesop Rock. Pure illness. As far as his whole discography and all that he's done so far it will probably take a normal level intelligent person many decades to be able to fully understand and comprehend his lyrics and song concepts. He did bless us with the lyric book for his album "Fast cars, Danger, Fire and Knives". That album including the lyric book will most likely be worth a fortune in the distant future when he stops producing masterpieces and inevitably passes on. What do you think?

Anytime Aes starts rapping about his Shortcomings in art, he will definitely however inadvertently expose your shortcomings as a lyricist

[@jonathannwonye2754]

The only thing Solomon didn't do was walk through a portal so he sent me thinking it would kill me but I became everything in this world he was to tall to fit. He's now afraid of everything because he thinks its my ghost so he keep you remembering then erk so stop him and tell him he need to walk me through the goatia because I am all the deamons and all the angels so he keeps making new weaker ones when the original ones work just fine. I'm not afraid of anything I just get confused when I don't understand.

[@RomanZajats]

I am a big fan of that dude

[@vizulefllry]

The beat progression in this is so amazing. The lyrics are so good though that I hope people tune them out sometimes just to hear that ffffing beat.

[@richardallsop6599]

I agree. I feel sorry for pigeons, they don't mean any harm, they just want help.
