Aesop Rock - Kirby (Official Video)

[@RansburgMakesArt]

I think my favorite line is "Met a cat lady in the parking lot, she got the heroes of tomorrow in a cardboard box.". So much great storytelling for one line!

[@flenzy]

Hands down, the best line.

[@stephengrant4841]

The second line after that is awesome too, "swap $20 on the spot and cop the warlock" he also calls his cat a wizard before that, too

[@alexflosho]

And I personally like "Probably hoarding 40 more in the corners of Fort Knox"

[@ragemachine420]

Love that scheme but also love the line skittish in the company of strangers danger 😂

[@ragemachine420]

And homey don’t fetch only woke to stretch 😂

[@poughkeepsieblue]

I'm a cat person too. I feel this completely. I lost my best friend of sixteen years, and I was devastated. I miss that kitty so much. Rest in peace Malice.

[@lorib360]

I'm sorry for your loss 😢. I just lost my 20-year old tortie last month. Devastating is the word. Eta: but Kirby still makes me happy. 😃

[@nibyafternight1983]

[@GrizzlyTank]

I was hella depressed around the time this album came out but a stray kitten got lost in my garage so I took her in and named her Kirby because this song just resonates with how much better she made my life.

[@alank1220]

How's Kirby going now? Cats really seem to find those who need it, hey. A neighbourhood stray stole my heart while I was going through a rough patch. Little prick he was but you can't help but love them.

[@DoctorWhoKage]

​​@@alank1220 I think it's normal for cats to be little pricks and sweet and adorable because that's just how they are. They often switch between bratty and affectionate almost at a moment's notice (especially the smaller ones).

[@Ashwilliamskithe3rd]

This kind of sums up the wonder that is Aes. Not only does it embody his idiosyncratic style, but he must be the only emcee to rap about how his cat has helped him deal with bouts of depression. This is why I love Aes, he's one of a kind (also, I really like a good cat). A brilliant and perfectly fitting video too. Perfect editing, mixing the real with the puppetry.

Did a lesson on inferencing with this song and my middle school students. Blew their minds and most were just baffled because it sounds silly. At the end of the year, kids were still singing this😂. Aesop is just a gifted individual. His creativity is infectious.

[@4some2joe0]

Nice! Who wouldn't want to learn this way. Gives us an update on next year's class.

[@patrickbateman1759]

Next you should do a lesson about whether 'inferencing' is a real word: www.dailywritingtips.com/is-inferencing-a-word/ But Aesop Rock is an excellent way to learn vocabulary.

I love describing The Impossible Kid as a great work of music with Aes stretching his thesaurus sized vocabulary down into some deep, revealing and intimate issues he faces as a rapper moving through life and staying true to his creative visions, and there is a fucking hilarious and amazing track about his cat.

[@MiNombreEsAlgunaVez]

"15 years of takin prescriptions, then a shrink's like IDK maybe get a kitten" Easily the best line in the song

[@brycefoster7801]

Those are the same thoughts I have about Long Legged Larry. I love it.

[@seanpalmer1145]

I guess it might just be a song about his cat. But it might also be a song about loneliness, dealing with depression, the constant need to belong, and how we might find solace or salvation in the unlikeliest of places. But also just a song about his cat.

[@gilbertoflores7397]

This is a silly song, but it's also right after the songs about him taking action and going to therapy, and then actually doing therapy, to this song about finding his healing through having his new pet kitten, last line, "I don't know get a kitten".

[@lady_mash23clark34]

6 years ago I heard this song the first day I brought home my princess. She had that MD recommended sense of purpose - so Kirby she's been. Purrfection. 🎉

[@thefez-cat]

There are few artists so skilled they could rap about a cat named Kirby and how rad that cat is, and not only be awesome, but still have lines that touch your goddamn heart. Now a shrink be like, "I dunno... get a kitten?"

Some praises of Kirby from Aes: -9 weeks awesome -the warlock -good around misery -means to euphoria -greatest of all warriors -brazen, game-face based on Azazel Really one of the coolest odes to a pet of all time

[@4some2joe0]

Good observations there brother

[@KawaiiNiko]

Nick Lewry also called Kirby a god in the line, “ found god in the hamper.” But I might be misinterpreting it.

[@cal5750]

I think it's safe to say he's made a very big name for himself in indie/underground hip-hop.

[@kingreynoso]

Definitely

[@alondotan239]

You could say he's even got some some mainstream recognition performing on Colbert recently

[@MoeMentos]

You don't call being consistently ranked as the MC with far and away the largest and most extensive vocabulary/lexicon/articulation recognition? Very many rappers weren't even in contention

[@kingreynoso]

B. Smith What I'm saying is that he's not being as recognized as he should be. Being told that you have a big vocabulary is more of a compliment than recognition, compared to how shitty "rappers" are being rewarded.

It is basically a song about Kirby (his cat) helping him with his mental problems. You are right though, most rappers would not think twice about making a song about a cat simply because of "rapper ego".

The concept of this video is so brilliant, and the execution of the song and video are so perfect. I have a cat who is so much like Kirby, and it makes me so happy to know Aesop is living that cat life. He deserves it.

Best song about a therapy animal ever lol

People who haven't had cats as pets don't know what satisfying companions they can be. Every bit as loyal and loving as dogs, but in their own feline way.

[@Shrieking_In_the_Void]

the best thing about this video is the fact that long After Aesop and Kirby are gone this will still exist; one of the most heartfelt and genuinely funny songs about the importance of a fuzzy friend in one's life. Had to say goodbye about 11 months ago to my partner in crime, Sebastian, and this song makes my heart happy - the joy of discovering how much a little fur ball can alter almost every aspect of your life.

I had a Cat that looked almost exactly like "Kirby," here. She went from feral to family. Miss you, Cammy.

ValhallaBeckons me too. Fergy was his name. Lol. All Y's funny

I have a cat that nearly went feral, also a torty. We kept her from going feral with a mix of aggressive amounts of petting and snuggling, locking them in when they got too aggressive, and the fact that she had the easiest time in the winter if she went indoors. Nowadays, Zuko rarely goes too far when she goes outside and has a couple furless spots she picks at. I’m pretty sure she has PTSD from a fisher attack attack.

We had one that we named Puss. She was such a tiny, beautiful kitty.

My brother sent me this video. He was out smoking one day and a tiny kitten walked up to him. He decided to name her Kirby. Similar color scheme and everything. The fact that he found this song is amazing.

Honestly this is the best video and song I think I've never seen and heard.

In my yearly review, KZbin informed me that this was my number one played track in 2024, third was long-legged Larry, fifth was dorks, 8th was rings, and on and on... I played this song almost 200 times

[@JesBewsey]

This is the cutest & most relatable Aesop Rock song, to me...which is saying a lot. I love it soooo much.
