This may very well be the best song Aesop Rock has ever written. Like, the speed and precision, the hectic beat it's matched with. It's unreal, and it gives you a feeling that really represents the subject matter. I understand it's hard to truly make that assertion.... but god if this isn't one of the most impressive things I have heard Aes rap on.

[@Crackpot_Astronaut]

​@Sugmi Richards Are you being sarcastic? If you're not, you should definitely check it out. Yes it is, and it makes the song even more awesome and impressive. He told this story incredibly. There's a video on KZbin by Twisted Minds called (I believe) "The Case of the Acid King Murderer" that's good. It's only 14 minutes and it goes through a lot of what's in this song.

Tbh I think this is up there with the greatest Aesop Rock songs of all time, which clearly says something. I'm very impressed by his surgical rhythmic precision, lyrics as a whole, and I think this is the best musical composition he's rapped to. The beginning beat throws you off by starting with a pickup note, which makes the higher pitched note sound like the quarter note pulse, but in fact the second, lower pitched note is the downbeat. Then he starts rapping on the quarter note before the fourth note in the measure saying "The Ma-gic is" and says "black" on the downbeat of the next measure. Those are just the first two examples of his rhythmic excellence. Aesop is not fair to compete against when it comes to lyrical and rhythmic creativity and precision.

[@deathmetalpotato]

Richard Allan "Ricky" Kasso Jr. (March 29, 1967 - July 7, 1984) murdered his 17-year-old friend Gary Lauwers in Northport, New York, on June 19, 1984. Two other teens, Jimmy Troiano and Albert Quinones, were present at the murder, which took place in the Aztakea Woods of Northport while all four were high on what they believed to be mescaline, but was most likely LSD. The murder became sensational news in New York City and across the nation due to the alleged torture of Lauwers and supposed occult aspects of the murder. The murder took place during a period when there was much public concern over the effects of Satanic and occult content in heavy metal music and in role-playing games. Kasso was wearing an AC/DC T-shirt at the time of his arrest and was a fan of groups such as Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and Ozzy Osbourne.

The magic is black Backyard happy and fertile For Kasso the acid king of the black circle Same year Bowie dropped, two horns hatched and matured To gore Northport's '84 Here is '84: Mary Lou Retton, Excitebike, AIDS, Jeopardy! Wake up the Orwell in me Crack rock, anyway, seventeen summers in developing Would it be the middle school or ketamine, guess Left home in the dark, to curl up in a bear hug in Suffolk county's arms With a bevy of heavy metal records and leather bibles More Anton LaVey than Saint Michael More sherm in a Ford on bricks behind Midas Fly with the pentagram pilot Sabbath and Judas and all tunes prudent Seems tame now, but then it was devil music Rick six, the nickname clicks Makeshift altar in a clearing in the sticks Forfeit a kitten by the forks from the kitchen With horsemen who drew the same symbols Pitchforks waving out a grand theft four by four support system, alas Angus on the ax in the back Foreground offering a pitch-dark animal corpse and backyard black mass And a brash curiosity opt for grave robbery To puff and pluck skulls at a cemetery property Cops cuff him and stuff him in Amityville Asylum It's fantasy island for Noah's Lions, at the time South Oaks, but focus on the environment And how it couldn't loosen the Lucifer out his client who would flee Pale moon, pale horse howling death And LSD to make it mean more than it meant Pay attention, here's where the whole thing sours And goes from intrigue into wowzers At a party, a passed out drunk Kasso gets got for ten bags of dust Now it's not a big town, and people are big mouths So he fishes around 'til he figures it out Gary Lauwers, seventeen years young You have no idea what you've done Track him down, beat him pissy He got five bags back, still owes him fifty Oh Ricky, Ricky, do we hound him for loot, Or show him how the hellbound do? Hm Kasso waives all debts, says "Let's just go and get baked instead" Two shake hands and the beef play dead Though it's more like a skeeter shaking a web And along came a spider with two of his friends It was into the woods, a delusional mess Four kids dipped in a black hole bath June 16, Kasso snaps Off-guard Gary tackled and pinned Sees Rick pull a knife from his jacket and grin Raise that knife like a sword to the moon Plunge that knife through a portrait of youth, going "Say you love Satan, say you love Satan" Lauwers ain't say it, just cave to the face lift Thirty-two stab wounds, gouged out eyes Burns on his skin, not a cloud in the sky Kasso had later explained he was told by Satan himself in the form of a crow To murder the kid cold, a part of a pristine whole No, no, no, no, no And just had to brag, until somebody sad just had to rat Sat in the cell is a merchant of hate, Who would hang from his sheet before the third day Some say Kasso was part of a cult, But I'm sure there was more than we're told More than adults and authority could rightly decode Or maybe I'm wrong and he's finally home Kasso

Absolutely amazing! And that devilish backup on your right shoulder is just simple yet insane detail - a cherry on top! Perfecto!

it's like someone took the grossest, edgiest Pog we all had in 1992 and animated it

@@echelonrank3927 I guess the original also stole the idea of decomposition from the dead bodies, someone needs to compensate them
