Weathermen - Reports Of A Possible Kidnapping (FULL VERSION, NOT PROMO)

[@skatediaboli]

This is arguebably the best Weathermen song ever made. They all just were on top of their game on this.

[@Grizzletopz]

Dead Weathermen is the best WM song

[@mfbunyiphimself3227]

It's my go to song when I'm feeling fucky in the head. Aesop is a God. I'm so sick of RTJ. I want one last el-p album with all the guests. Fucking bring back cage! Yak! Fuck RTJ, The weathermen is where it's at. This defjux weaponised audio got me through some extreamly tough times. RIP Camu and bro Jay too. Peace or fists.

[@joemckeown7064]

⁠@@mfbunyiphimself3227have you heard any of cage’s latest music… dude is wack asf. Aes and El ain’t cool anymore for some reason (even though aes wasn’t in weathermen) copy and yak ballz were always pretty wack, breeze doesn’t rhyme as much as he used to. Camu and tame are gone(rip) the only dude i want to work with el again is vast aire that would be dope as fuck but the rest who are still alive nah i’m good on that.

[@PhatCage2]

​@joemckeown7064 aes was most definitely part of the Weathermen

[@joemckeown7064]

@@PhatCage2 once most of the members had left the weathermen became aesop cage and el p but the original weathermen was cage, tame one, copy, camu, breeze, yak ball, vast aire, jakki and el p. Aes was never an original member.

[@DirtMcLurch]

Blows my mind that 8 years later this upload has just over 20K views... Verses all crazy af and the beat is a precursor to what would become the signature sound of Run The Jewels. Strange times, indeed.

[@rorycronin1130]

dang i heard aetom's remix first, which i love. rtj reference on point tho *strng*

[@lo-fireviews2693]

Plus somehow Cage has become unknown to these new fans of El/RTJ And Aesop. Cage went completely underground

[@lo-fireviews2693]

They all went in but to me Cage snapped on this

[@camz3713]

@@lo-fireviews2693 Cages style isn't really mainstream marketable. He isn't cryptic enough about how dark some of his vibes are. People are scared to put him at the forefront, which is what he deserves but respect to him for making the music he wants to.

[@khalevegh8380]

I know dude, I was always trying to spread the word when fandam and float came out back in high school but everyone thought i was crazy for listening to that kind of shit. Now some of those same people are coming up to me asking me if I’ve ever heard of RTJ....get the fuck outta here yo!

[@AllOneVoice]

So fucking good. 12 years later, I still find myself randomly rapping Aesop’s verse.. The greatest.

[@johnpeel9446]

I ripped that verse out at a house party trading rap verses. I didn't leave alone. I owe Mr. Bavitz everything. Lol

[@charlespineda1685]

I saw Aesop live once around the same time this song came out. With no intro to to start the show he went straight in with his verse from this song.

[@joshuameaders8053]

Aesop is simply objectively the best

[@rutenroot]

Still so good, so sad so much of the old def jux music is removed from spotify

[@PastelAssassin283]

Might be the hardest fuckin beat i ever heard. All 3 verses hit like tyson.

[@uknowho6880]

This song scared the hell out of me the first time I heard it... and to this day continues to do so. In the best way possible

[@KhalilSeretseKhama]

They all killed this, but Cage went the FUCK off.

[@NilREM_C.D.J.T.P.B.K._MarZz79]

YuUuP yUuUp

[@funknotik]

I love this era of the underground, it can never return it’s just a moment in time. Nostalgia translates to “an ache for homecoming,” or some shit. That’s what these old songs give me.

[@BeatJunkie-mq1tc]

Yep, it was a point in time that we'll never get back unfortunately. I miss those days of walking into Best Buy and finding those DefJux stickers on albums

[@oljerzbastard4847]

“WEATHERMEN”

[@bigpapaboomboom9735]

Most slept on greatest hip hop track ever.

[@boringstuffvideoez]

He's talking about an airborne viral disease. He also talks about how humanity desperately tries to survive but is helpless.

[@jon11383]

Perfect for these days

[@iLEE]

This comment aged very well

[@silaskaiser3890]

This song came back to me at the perfect time

[@shawnamccormick8562]

“Each clip wing twitch easy” ❤🎉

[@Glace077]

Aesop once again displays his mastery

[@Vrir16]

Crazy that his new albums are as good as this. The man is consistently goat status

[@AsapTrill24]

Here in 2022 lol legendary song

[@jonrwert]

This was an era when El-P and Aesop were at their most dystopian. Heh, 10 years later and after all we've been through I wonder if they will refocus on these themes and top this. Maybe as you get older you don't freak out over society's darkness and injustice as much though.

[@5burowz]

There is only darkness and we are but motes in the universe.

[@SingingInTheRain2222]

Garbology has apocalyptic themes for sure

[@lockstock600]

"Without the stupid promo talking." Yes thank you

[@Grizzletopz]

I need to get home!!!

[@MadDgtl]

my god that is a mean el-p verse, totally forgot about this song until a random line that i put up as a facebook status like ten years ago came up in my memories lol

[@gumbymofugga]

I've been dying to know too, that shit cracks me up every time. That dude at the end loses his shit and it's fucking hilarious.

[@ryanmccormack789]

THATS FUCKING CAGE LOOK HIM UP

[@miznarik]

Cage's verse ...

[@gimmesometruth1074]

snapped

[@froschein]

"i am a star really" - aesop rock

[@alpkocacenk9936]

wish there was an instrumental version of it

[@JulesCarolOates]

Innocent people: welcome to my brotherhood.

[@manu_lechasseur]

dude this shit is so fucking dope, freak concept man

[@albinosnowman12]

Shit is insane, shame they broke up the group.

[@aaronsheridan8386]

ART!

[@ScruffyMoltisanti]

@lazerface216 I agree, although I think all of them are great on this track. Aesop too

[@zeitxgeist]

I dunno - I always thought it sounded much more like a venomous social commentary than an apocalyptic vision - maybe a double meaning.

[@jacobericlamberson3562]

El-P and Cage have similar styles.

[@signalshiz]

Aesop top should be in rtj. Nice track

[@evisukid22]

This should have way more views.

[@D3ATHBYFIR3]

great combo of amazing mcs

lol i kinda got used to the promo talkin :P this is a promo of def jux presents four lol

[@lyrikill101]

"knock knock, squash bovine and find God"

[@ScruffyMoltisanti]

@droploaf That's not what el-p himself claims he wrote. "all detached reasoning".

[@lyrikill101]

anybody know what Aesop is spttin about? Sounds like the first line in the track is a reference to hallucinogens, mushrooms in particular. He refrences spores and whatnot, anyone have a clue?

[@Loonatic816]

ah

[@TheAnonymousAnomie]

Do you have a link?

[@pizza916]

whats a squallid contra?

[@NilREM_C.D.J.T.P.B.K._MarZz79]

HmmM

[@RyjinVee]

it's not from a film, it's Camel Tau, a homie of theirs and another hip hop head who died before this was released.

[@SYMShutYoMouth]

Camu Tao. Don't ever disrespect him like that kid.

[@emceedamage8604]

R*EYE*P CAMU!THANKS

[@khalevegh8380]

Watch your back billy shakes...Mu is gonna resurrect himself just so he can knock your teeth out for calling him camel tau.

[@lazerface216]

cage's verse is definitely nasty but he still doesn't come close to el-p's. el absolutely shits on this record. he laid out a bad ass beat to go with it too.

[@gimmesometruth1074]

I disagree, I'd put it Cage > El> Aesop

[@003Labs]

@lazerface216 Sounds like a solid el-p / aesop collabo beat, reminds me of sounds on FELT 3

[@jdlefebre]

@droploaf no .... i think u need 2 stop smoking so much danko.....
