The stuff of legends. I have known about these guys since at least my high school days in the late 90's and I have been listening on and off ever since.
They the reasons rappers "retire" they hear songs like this or "Vowel Movement" - atmosphere - or "Falling in Flames" - murs - and feel like... shit... I am fake as fuck
Why do we need these endless 'boxes'? Yes Aesop is on a completely difference 'level' to slug..but slug equally has his genius level too,thats nothing like Aesop. There's no need to compare these alternative artist's with each other.One love man!
Slug = A spectacular underrated EmCee, for sure... But Mikey Larsen = Greatest Underground EmCee Of All Time. My opinion. Couple other folk's opinion as well.
shit...i'm an idiot. confused because i always see "900 bats" on my ipod for this song. makes sense, though...it's sick just like all of his beats. plus an aes/slug collab never fails. (i listen to "miss by a mile," daily.)
NEVER HEARD LARSON! You realise Larson is Eyedea right? Bro go listen to Even Shadows Have Shadows, Smile, and The Void, just type Eyedea after the name of the song in the search bar and listen to the poetry.
no one touches aesop, he stands alone. aesop is a self-modified genius, a product of a perfect storm of influence, environment, and a work ethic next to none. he grew up in a jazz club from a young age for christ's sake.
Aesop Rock, MF DOOM (LONG LIVE!), Doseone (& his 23+ groups/projects), Buck 65, Sixtoo, Busdriver, CLIPPING, Sage Francis, Myka 9, Open Mike Eagle, Eyedea, Homeboy Sandman, Edan, Atmosphere, Black Thought, could go on for days: but aes, dose, buck, sage & bus are a solid top 5 if need be…no order tho & CLIPPING because they’re a group that elevates the whole art from concepts to mastering as much as any one of these cats has done for lyricism, flow & phonics!
Aesop is always an intellectual study. Love everything he does. But personally? I gotta give it up to slug. He always packs logical emotional punch. And he does so by keeping It as simple to understand as possible. Love that kind of simple writing.
o man aesop killed this the escorting hundred handers out of tartarus blew my mind! he also gives free haircuts at his shows, I got one once. best show I've seen. Slug/ant/atmosphere are fuckin amazing as well. check out aesop rock and homeboy sandman mini mixtape lice. straight dope.
so Ive been a huge atmosphere fan for years and try to get every single song with slug i can. spent hours and hours searching limewire and itunes and getting unreleased collections. but i have NEVER heard this one before. lol maybe now i have em all. hey slugs done over 300 tracks, its hard finding em all! lol god i love atmosphere. thanks for this
been a fan of these two since I was 15 and this is the first time I heard this song, what an incredible Aes verse, sluggo does his thing too, love the beats, this is another bangers, need this on streaming!
@kevindavidkern you can't hate one and love the other you aren't a real fan of neither if this is how you think that's like saying "I hate half of the beatles the instrumentals are the only good part.." you make yourself look like a fool
