Great reaction. I think you would really enjoy Aesop Rock's song Rings. It's one of my favorite of his. Most of his songs take several listens to understand, his lyrics are very dense. But he has some easy ones like " Long Legged Larry" that are just fun.
Rings is still one of my favorites! Other great songs as well as easy to grasp on the first listen are:
No Regrets
Ruby 81
Kirby
Shrunk
@@MoCsomeone add Grace to that list.
I think it's awesome how someone as verbose as Aes doesn't feel like he's above writing a tale for the younglings.
Welcome to the greatest lyricist in the Hip-Hop game. Don’t worry I’ve listened to Aesop Rock for over 20 years and it takes me a few listens to understand the lyrics and then a few more to understand the meaning
Glad it's not just me! :) It takes me FOREVER to understand lyrics, drives me nuts
The beauty of Aes's work is that nobody can unpack his songs without multiple listens. He's so fun to listen to.
As people have said, Aes is incredibly dense and usually requires multiple listens. Can't go wrong with more, his work is amazing.
Aesop Rock is a lyrical genius. Maybe THE lyrical genius. The more you listen to his songs, the more you unwrap the imagery and metaphors, and the more you realize that very few writers, living or dead, hold such a command of the English language.
His only equal was DOOM if you ask me.
I feel jelous of anyone who's never heard aes and just discovering him, it must be amazing to hear it all for the first time as a whole discography
brain freeze level 12000
found him last night still losing my mind
This newly-designated senior definitely gives this my approval - required or not!
I discovered Aesop Rock approx 2 years ago. He is now in my top-5 of favorite authors/poets.
Well said. I often get just as much enjoyment reading his lyrics as I do from listening
Have you listened to the Lice projects?
@@user-xh9lz2hj4e No I haven't - will check out. Thanks!
Aesop is a lyrical assassin man. every album he drops is a banger start to finish.
Love your reaction. Ive been listening to Aesop rock for almost 20 years and I still catch stuff in his lyrics
Check out "Kirby" very good song and video about his cat
That's the reaction I see so often lol. "I don't know exactly what was going on, but I really liked it" -- You've gotta read the lyrics while listening to the song to really get it and even then the references can be hard to untangle on a good day.
The album this song is from is Spirit World Field Guide and there are tons of good songs to check out -- Kodokushi, Button Masher, Gauze, Dog at the Door etc.
Kodokushi is hands down one of my favorite songs
Just audio is perfect. Aesop Rock's videos tend to distract reactors from focusing on the dense lyrics.
Gotta have up the lyrics too
I’ve been listening to Aesop for almost 20 years. I love the reaction of anyone hearing him for the first time when they really get into it. It’s so fun when someone is just trying to keep up with his lyrics. Good times
Aes has evolved from lyricist to verbalist, no one else has done it, but I know Eyedea was on that doorstep...
There's a Japanese experimental rock band called Sukekiyo. The live performance of their song "kisses" has some of the best vocals I've ever heard, you should really react to it if you get the chance.
Aesop Rock is THE master of bars, lyrics, storytelling, multi-layered metaphors.. the list goes on. He also does most of his own beats. This guy is blazing his own trail making everyone else look lost.
Aesop rock - gopher guts.
This 100%
Aesop is a musical genius, and tragically underrated. His lyrics are too dense for mainstream appeal but he's been an underground phenomenon for 20+ years
Check out "Jazz Hands" by Aesop Rock
also you'd probably like Prof... maybe check out "Prof 'No' feat Cashinova"
Spirit world field guide! The whole album is an amazing journey... Aesop is the man!
I've only been a fan for a bit over a year, but 'Impossible Kid' and 'Spirit World Field Guide' are both amazing. Currently have his older song 'None Shall Pass' grinding in my brain.
Also, “the harbor is yours” is a wonderful story to decipher! I used it to teach a hiphop class at a charter school in Colorado for kids between 8-12.
I cannot recommend his song 'Get Out of the Car' enough.
Can’t wait to watch this reaction. Thanks for getting to Aesop!!
Aesop Rock has been a favorite for some years now. Such a deep abyss of content. You'll find a lot to enjoy. That said, I would love to hear react Landmines by Rishloo. Journey of a song with a crescendo that will stick with you.
Glad you enjoyed it! I really like 9-5ers Anthem from Aesop aswell if you want to react to him again. Its one of his older songs.
I’m kindly asking you to react to anything by Cardiacs. The internet needs more Cardiacs reactions. I’m obsessed and can’t help it. My preferences would be Dog Like Sparky or To Go Off and Things. (Others might be too much to handle.)
Excellent choice of song as always also! I love Aesop Rock!
Hahahaha yeeeeeeah. Listening to Aes actually takes some training. Cannibal Ox too. El-P used to be more on that tip.
React to Ruby 81 by Aesop Rock. That song gives me goosebumps.
A great Halloween theme song: it's a ghost story told from the perspective of the ghost.
A ghost trying to get you to open up to his music 😉
I love every single facial expression you make in this entire video! Beautiful. You are adorable!!!!
Thank you for sharing this! It’s always cool to see the reactions of people who are hearing his music for the first time. I’ve yet to stumble across a reaction video for his song Battery, which is one of my favorites. Great song and a lot of great lyrics to unpack as well. Have a good one!
I'd say Aesop is comparable to Shakespeare. But with how language has evolved so much over time, I feel that's not doing him justice. His catalogue is extremely cryptic and layered but always manages to paint an awesome image with words when you break it down.
I think he's like Shakespeare in being able to basically intuitively create complicated wordplay. Shakespeare wrote for the stage, and without even intending to have his words read or even recorded. It was just him making money with some friends, but it reads like poetry and can be endlessly dissected. Aes's hip hop is much the same. He just stream-of-consciousness spit-takes on a track, but it's so much more than the 3 minutes you spend on the song.
You should really react to some of his older stuff, like anything from appleseed or float :)
I would also like to request Gopher Guts... also Lazy Eye and Drums on the Wheel.
His catalog is dense and consistent so you will prob get a lot of different suggestions :) I'm happy as long as I get to watch you enjoy more of this great man's work ;)
Let it in, let it in.
I have been listing to AES for almost 2 decades and I still have to listen to a song a few times before i even understand half of it.
Please listen to Ladies and Gentleman We are Floating in Space - Spiritualized! You'll love it
Could you react to Lupe Fiasco - Prisoner 1 & 2
That whole album is amazing. Definitely worth listening to in its entirety.
Great reaction NSC you did it right.... Reacting to Aesop is very hard esp if you try to discern the content the first time, which you didn´t try to do, it requires multiple listenings at least, as you now have heard judging by the comments... i would like to recommend you to react to: "Mew - Zookeepers boy." Like to hear what you make of it!
Peace out...
Please do react to Nothing Is Safe - Clipping. ! It's on the slightly darker side but it's production and lyricism is top notch. Also the lead of the group, Daveed Diggs, was Thomas Jefferson in Hamilton.
please react to Robert by Jockstrap!!!!!
subbed!
Some rap and hip hop musicians can not keep following Aesop Rock cadence and word vocabulary when they try to react on Aesop Rock songs ...
please react to The Bombpops - Zero Remorse. Have a nice day!
Here’s a request no one else has done from what I can find. React to Aesop Rock-Water. It’s one of his old but incredibly unique works from when he was like 23/24 years old (He’s currently 45). It’s one of his most lyrically deep songs and often goes unnoticed by many because it’s not something he released himself. It was part of an album that included various artists. It’s easily one of my favorite hip hop tracks to this day.
I will check that out and see what I can do, thank you!
React to Aesop Rock-Meter Feeder
Technically, that song is by Hail Mary Mallon, Aesop's collaboration with Rob Sonic
that's a hail mary mallon song, Rob sonic is one of my faves too!!
Great first reaction to Aesop Rock! Hope to see you react to more from him.
that was a great reaction! Aesop is a wild one but most of his lyrics have an insane level of depth and craft to them. Don't be afraid to pull up some lyrics to refer to during your listen.
Recommendation: "MF DOOM - That's That - Lyrics, Rhymes Highlighted (052)"
I will do what I can, but sadly my ADHD is severe enough that even medicated I find I can concentrate on reading, or on listening... I can't do both :( I like to go into songs cold so they can surprise me. I want to be able to understand, but I don't want to ruin the songs, either :(
React to Weeding by GMG Fantasy
Best Mc alive
Aes is very dense and deep in the sense you can spend all day on one song, I still have to have to lyrics open to even start getting into some of his songs.
I'd Reccomend Cycles of Gehenna and Fryerstarter from his Skelethon album, both are great songs I'd love to see you react to.
Just found your channel,it's great, I love it!,
Really enjoyed this reaction!
If you're up for more Aesop Rock I'd recommend checking out Cycles to Gehenna from the album Skelethon
Dog at the Door- Aesop Rock use lyric video
You got a sub
U have my sub :)
folks if you like lyricism and good beats, ReHaB dropped 3 eps last year that have some crazy good cadences, and a song called Pop Said that really should be on the radio, but Boone refuses to do that industry shit anymore..
Gotta be honest, I hate most of these reaction videos. Aesop Rock is my favorite artist, and I appreciate that you didn't stop constantly while acknowledging that you can't grasp it all in one listen. A suggestion: have the lyrics up while watching next time. And, I humbly request that you do a reaction video to "Cycles to Gehenna" by Aesop.
Hey, at least you are honest and best of all you were NOT abusive- I have had to trashcan so many abusive comments through the years. Sadly, my ADHD means I can either READ lyrics or LISTEN to a song- if I try to do both, I will do one or the other but I can't do both :(
@@nscreacts Understandable. Maybe you could read them beforehand? I don't know if that would ruin the reaction, though. Either way, keep it up. (Still requesting "Cycles to Gehenna.")
I will put that on the list and do what I can! I will also work on the entire lyrics issue, it is something that does and has bothered me
Also, and I'm sorry to be critical, but I like what you're doing and want to see more content... Get rid of the music that plays while you're talking. It's very distracting and unnecessary. No offense.
We all have different tastes and I understand what you are saying here, but when I watch videos WITHOUT background music I hate it and find them hard to watch
