Aesop Rock-Untouchable over a Pusha T Beat. Song shows how much more Aesop puts into every word.

During a live stream Beats Bars & Delivery laid down a challenge after someone in chat said 'Aesop might be only rapper that can beat eminem' & Beats, Bars & Delivery said to put up 5 Aesop verses we thought could beat eminem so here's 1 of the 5 aesop verses eminem would even think to think about doing over a Pusha T beat & link to challenge being laid down kzbin.infotmQgpQkU...

Aesop aint never gonna gonna get past where he is. Just making lyrical songs dont mean anything if they just a random conglomeration of words that rhyme with each other.

[@RavenousCatalyst594]

I'LL GIVE U $50 IF U CAN BRING ME ANY 3-WORD PHRASE OF HIS THAT I CAN'T FIND MEANING and/or a DOPE VISUAL IN. ANY 3 WORDS HE SAYS THAT U THINK IS GIBBERISH or JUST FOR RHYME'S SAKE & WE'LL SEE

[@smithyMcjoe]

I think you're not picking up on the metaphor or similie, he's got a complex web that some don'tt decipher but that doesn't bother me, gives us the chance to educate, expand, and help and then undoubtedly the people understand it and realise that those around seem to be all shit today.

[@kingstarsrobot6655]

What? your comment is a random conglomeration of words son

[@Carbine64]

"If you ain't core, it ain't for you."

[@KingstonDope]

Eminem is way simpler, maybe just stick to that

[@MisterPrimordial]

"The point A to B sounds scared when it starts"

[@isabellamorris7902]

I love both this and the Pusha T original. Imo Pusha T's lyrical artistry is really underrated

[@andrewgosh6987]

Brother thank you for the upload gotdamn. And any idiot in the comment section saying they can't understand this haven't had a critical thinking moment in their life heaven forbid you have to think about lyrics and not have a meaning obvious as your ignorance

[@RavenousCatalyst594]

i think some folks get butt hurt when, after hearing Aes, everything else they listen to starts sounding like garbage & they gotta tell themselves Aes is gibberish or else they have to throw away all their Lil Wayne posters. GROWING PAINS ARE A BIIAAATCH.

yoooo i never heard this aes song before. wtf this is fire 🔥🔥🧨

[@durere]

I know a few other bangers of his you likely missed. Like Strange Hours / Take A Titty Out

[@daughj]

Even by his standards this is amazing

[@JohnnyLawlz17]

Dope.

[@OracleTheRonin]

This is probably the best intro verse to Aesop for Eminem fans. It's his most simple song excluding his kids songs like LLL and My belly etc.

[@RavenousCatalyst594]

at least 5 of my current top 20 aes tracks i'v found in last 2 years & Untouchables is waayy one of em. I hadn't even listened to Fast Cars until 6 mos ago. Black(ish) University's breakdown/reaction to Citronella was 1st time i LISTENED to it & it's in my top 10 now. THAT THERE IS SO MUCH DEPTH/BREADTH to what aes does that i'v been overly giddy for 20 years w/ my top 75 aes songs, not anywhere near a sense of lacking in soul evolving artistry & YET there were the10+ tracks in last year that i will soak in forever, just sitting there waiting for me to experience. i'm gonna have folks scrawl bars from Marble Cake into my epitaph w/ sharpies (im gonna be cremated but have gravestone just for aes quotes)

[@durere]

Hah, I've been thinking the same about this track, that it's what I would recommend to a newb. Probably because of that ''bite the hand that belly-rub'' bit. Or ''shoe-gaze rap''.

[@joeharrison4783]

There's at least 2 simple songs on impossible kid and I think drums on the wheel is pretty easy to understand

[@OceansOfMotionStudios]

​@@RavenousCatalyst594 two of my all time favorite AR tracks are Freeze and The Greatest Pac-Man Victory in History. That lsd scheme in the 2nd verse is bonkers. Him and Homeboy Sandman go together like PBnJ.

[@GraciousBears]

Frankly, the fact that Eminem hasn't even sniffed around Aes at this point is upsetting.

[@dbojangles1597]

Probably afraid he might catch a sun burn or something but I'm sure there's a mutual respect between them.

[@damonedwards1544]

Eminem is smart enough to know he's not as smart as Aesop.

[@Rebazar]

Different lanes and different audiences

[@-user_redacted-]

I don't even really want a track with them both in it because their styles are so different, but could you imagine an Eminem album produced by Aes?

[@OracleTheRonin]

Facemelter is another ultimate Aesop single verse track of course. It also has a Carol Anne bar in it as does this.

[@RavenousCatalyst594]

dddaaaaaannng another song i slept on??? idk if i'v ever listened to Facemelter b4 now but, wow, 'Allergy to compassion, he is the perfect weapon' & u mentioning Aes's Carol Ann shout outs LMFAO cuz, the 1st verse that came to mind when Team Supreme laid down challenge was 3rd verse from Nickel-Plated Pockets & it's got lyric "I got a poltergeist on a leash trained by Carroll Ann herself" !!! w/ Carol in Untouchables too, i didn't want 2 of 5 verses to repeat references. chose Untouchable mainly cuz it's Aes outdoing Pusha T's bars over Pusha T's beat, so hopefully anytime someone hears Pusha T's version it'll start to sound yucky, unworthy of mic amplification. lead them to the palatte cleansing refining of the joy that comes from EXPERIENCING ARTISTRY. I love aes for making me sooo intolerant of nonsensical/emptry/ugly/common debasing unimportant damaging words that 'acts' &'performers' spit into mics.

[@RavenousCatalyst594]

so STILL rewinding Facemelter enough i haven't made it all the way thru! i just got to lyrics, 'generic's so unappealing & in my humble opinion, defeats a rappers civic duty to the culture. Granted every topics been covered but COOKIE CUTTER DELIVERY of SIMPLETON WIT is the REAL CULPRIT' he makes this such an amazing time to be alive

[@Carbine64]

Head to Genius, it's very good for this

[@AdamWhitney]

This is just the normal beat he did the song on, no?

[@RavenousCatalyst594]

it's a Pusha T beat that aes just put out on a promo for Impossible Kid bcuz if he 'sells' the track he'd have to pay more royalties/go through more red tape contractual shiz so this fits into one of the most recent definitions of 'freestyle' as in the artist didn't pay for the beat so has to give it away free

[@AdamWhitney]

@@RavenousCatalyst594 so, I didn't know that about the beat, but kind of figured, but the last part is alternate facting, which I don't get down with. It's just a written song, nothing about it is freestyle.

[@RavenousCatalyst594]

@@AdamWhitney agree 'freestyle' should mean off the top of the head,, impomptu i'm an old Project Blowdian & was around when Myka 9 of Freestyle Fellowship came up w/ term freestyle. just saying how in last 5 yrs mc's have called written lyrics, over a beat they didn't pay for so they can't sell it, freestyles. Coast Contrta calls their tracks over other folks beats freestyle tho they openly obviously r written & rehearsed, but whatever Coast had to do to get their art to my ears i'm grateful for but it seems rarrrrrreeee that mc's spit spontaneous on Sway & Tech or Cosmic Kev. FREESTYLING WAS/IS USED BY MC'S TO WORK OUT THEIR FLOW STYLE W/OUT THE LYRICS NEEDING TO BE PURPOSEFUL/POWERFUL i still think an mc that can switch the sound they're rhyming 3 times are skilled that's hard when it's not written

@@RavenousCatalyst594This slaps so hard I sent it to people that might not appreciate it. AES is truly spitting hard when he ends the song on his premise.

Why are people here obsessed with putting down Eminem?

[@CliffSedge-nu5fv]

I don't think any of it is putting down Em. More like acknowledging the pedestal Marshall is - deservedly - on, but also acknowledging the reality that Aesop is better.

[@fredfuchs5600]

@@CliffSedge-nu5fv the most liked comment here says Aes destroys Em's entire discography. Its insecure fans that need to put down other top tier MC's to feel good, quite pretentious

[@-user_redacted-]

There are a lot of fans bitter Aes doesn't get the recognition Em does despite being very much matched in skill. Ironically there's probably an equal amount of Aes fans that would complain if he *did* ever get that kind of recognition.

[@smithyMcjoe]

@@-user_redacted- Ems ability to tel a story is top notch, he doesn't have the vocabulary of aes though. I still love Ems old stuff.

[@beri4138]

Nah, I still don't understand anything he says.

[@RavenousCatalyst594]

well i'll give u $25 if u can find any 3-word phrase of his that i can't find meaning in. never know for sure the exact meaning of anything he says but that how amazing of an artist he is. he makes sure there's more than one way to take everything he says. but hey the lines i don't get i call "HIDDEN TREASURE" bcuz if i do seek meaning in it, there's always a reward! the lines i don't get from jump, once i Treasure Hunt, they become sacred to me, so don't get frustrated by them, put on ur Goonies explorer cap & reap the rewards

[@RavenousCatalyst594]

like i knew the definition of 'filigree' b4 Aes said it!!! nah i looked it up bcuz i know aes chose that word for exactly what that word means! i trust him to use his words purposefully. i have yet to see any proof otherwise, which is why i will give $235 if u can find any 3-word phrase he spits that is nonsense & i promise u he's not trying to show off & make people feel small, he's hoping to get us to step up
