That line about not being able to take your dead friends names out of your phone knocked the wind out of me the first time I heard it. I've never had lyrics in a rap song hit so close to home before.

He's been producing his own music the entire time with the exception of a few songs. Ever heard Cat Food, or Bug Zapper? Personally Labor Days is the earliest I can listen to. Find anything older a bit grating.

@@TheRazePlayz I think he produced some of them, maybe even a majority. I could have have been wrong in my previous comment. But I know he produced a lot of his own stuff. He also makes beats for other artists. Aes is multi-talented. This is my favorite song by him by far.

Joe Lally of Fugazi called one of his solo albums "Nothing is underrated" and this is exactly what I think. If you create great art there will always be people to appreciate it a lot. You just can't expect to have many of them, that's on a completely different page.

Fuck man, this song almost brought a tear to my eye, not just because its a good song but because I've got to watch the evolution of aesops lyricism and style, and over all attitude with life, it's fucking rare to see a guy with so much talent not flicker out and disapear, or like most rappers, go out in a shitty display and or try to sell out. Mad respect for Aesop, dudes a lyrical genius.

Wanna have your mind blown?! The line "Actin' a savage in the shadows of Rome" (which, incidentally, is my favorite part) refers to roads! Since the "protagonist" of the song is a biker who lives wild, and Rome invented roads as we know them, this line (which I thought was gibberish) actually makes perfect sense! God I love Aesop.

@howtorapthelyrics 10 лет назад

Aesop Rock was interview in the book series, *HOW TO RAP* and *HOW TO RAP2*. He shared many of his rapping techniques. In this quote he tells us how he uses symbols to write down his lyrics. "I have a little system of symbols and shit-I think a lot of people do, that I’ve seen. I thought I was crazy, and then when I started seeing other rappers, everyone has their own little symbols. I have a system of maybe ten little symbols that I use on paper that tell me to do something when I’m recording."

TO EVERYONE WHO IS CONFUSED ABOUT AESOP ROCK AND A$AP ROCKY. They are two different rappers with two different styles. Aesop is more of an abstract underground rapper using complex metaphors and extended allegories. A$AP is a gangster rapper rapping about swag, bitches, drugs and how awesome he is.
