aesop rock-close to insanity

[@atoasttototoro]

i love this aesop. i remember having to get up for work early on the dark morning's i would always use this as my motivation to get my ass outa bed. would burn one to this then start the day. the tone of feeling i would get staring out at those dismal sleepy streets having a little smoke while my girl slept soundly away in bed was unique as fuck. good times man.

[@Boralzino]

The environment you’ve described fits perfectly with the mood I get from Aesop. That could’ve been a scene in a movie with this track playing.

[@fbaffa1]

This song is actually called "The Substance"

[@Alniemi]

Yeah i clicked on it thining OMG an aesop classic underground underground I have not heard of!!! But i recognize this tune, Still a great track!

[@ju4408]

@@Alniemi I still find undscovered features after almost 20 years of him being my favorite. Dude works with everyone still doing their own thing.

[@BmarkDeVinney]

Go find Music 4 Earthworms- his 1st release 1997...this and much more 🔥 tracks

[@GreaterThanADeer]

i used to only listen to a few aesop songs, then i grew to like almost everything he has made

[@emillocke1139]

Only the worthy are gifted with knowledge of such a song. Aesop is a God among mere mortals. Only artist in history who has actually maximized the rhymeability of the English language.

[@johnrandom3332]

Song has blown out my earphones for 10+ years

[@tylerthompson6055]

59k... what the fuck man this should have a few million. classic for sure no doubt aesop got a unique style but the female vocalist on the hook here is dope as fuck

[@paigelloyd3886]

I love this song so much 😎🎶💜🎶💜✊🏻💯💯💯😎

[@jiovnxx]

I like to call it thinkrap It is rap that requires a thinking mind to create and a thinking mind to understand and truly appreciate. Money, cars, girls.....what?

[@paulscott6637]

the song's actually called "the substance", FYI.

[@AG-uj1cp]

[@doomfan12345]

[@rasheedwallace1077]

[@cidofeden9532]

Hell yeah

[@InstantlyDiscredited]

Yeah something pretty similar happens to me when im talking to people i dont like and they're getting on my nerves. Or when im doing something that feels impossible, i find myself muttering the hook haha.

[@VisArtVisuals]

[@mrhighspeedman]

Does anyone know where the girl singing "close to insanity" sample came from, if it's even a sample at all.

[@Simpsons794yahoo]

Anyone know where that female vocal sample is from..?

[@juiceboxheroooo9752]

Heard it and definitely had a flashback to a 90's hip hop song that was on one of my skate videos. tryna find

Music for Earthworms - AESOP ROCK ( GOAT )

[@Trandafira]

Usually I sit and absorb the words as the music of obfuscation, let it wash over me without being able to interpret the intent. Sometimes though, when I look up lyrics as I listen to him rhyme I discover a concept sitting on a couple of lines. The characters have been there years, it's just, now can I see that red square as a brick and some faded-paint plot fingered into the underside.

[@Darthnader519]

lil wayne doesnt even deserved to be mentioned on this video
