The Uncluded - Full Performance (Live on KEXP) 

Couldn't have expressed that better.

It's 9:06 am in Louisville, Ky. I woke up drunk and this made me cry in a good way. I love you guys

You can make babies by smashing pans?

Do you?

It's a great metaphor. Now I understand why you many people are not extremely unsettled and/or enraged by the apparent oxymoron that is "carrot cake"...

Lol... who's your steak? 👀

@@TabethaAurochs I woulda said it's like a s'more, idk who thought setting a marshmallow on fire was a good idea but they were right

@@kobura6316 Right?? While we're on the subject - how do you think up a marshmallow? Who thought "gee whiz, I wish sugar came in small white cylindrical latex foam!" I only had issues with marshmallows one time when I was 16; they felt like they were expanding as they went down my esophagus. Now that I think about it, that was probably less of a marshmallow issue and more of an LSD issue,.. Either way, I am impressed by the S'more analogy. Many layers, many textures, simple to make yet a lifelong pursuit to master.

Try Canon Rock by Funtwo... Playing God by Moyun Official (Polyphia)...or the Heart Asks Pleasure First by Michael Nyman. (Some of my most beautiful songs I've ever heard)

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who ended up in tears

I admit nothing...last night was the first i heard the album, wondered if it was as good as i thought because it was late, and the wine bottle consumed to emptiness, and was about to check it again but thought I'd see if it actually had any cohesion when done live, as rap often loses power from studio to live experience as is, imho, and this was one of the stranger progressions and combinations of hip hop I've come across, but to sound good live was surprise enough, but shake the emotions while still waking drinking coffee, well if it happened that was something much more unexpected. Simple human thoughts and moments captured and redisplayed beautifully. Besides my own experiences doing laundry, i am reminded of andre 3000 of outkast telling rick rubin how he sometimes takes his laundry to a laundry mat for the experience to feel human, as he misses basically the same sorta things, that i hear in what she sings about here, how often money not only insulate but can isolate us from life and the world, and i felt that in the music, as i felt that when i was younger and moved outta the crowded dorms of college life into a nice apartment with a washer and dryer, and with the ease and safety came less interruptions, but also less adventures, no more random meetings, and no more need to leave my dwelling, for not just laundry, but a beautiful place to go with friends to do the things that would cause a dorm RA or security to come knocking on our door with threats of expulsion. All apologies for my rambling as i spill out, but music is amazing

It happens.

Shows that he's willing to suffer for his art.

lol 😂@@fabblwaps

lol what! ? 😂

word. another album would be just what the doctor ordered

I 100% expected Kimya to be a skinny blonde girl.

​@@tony_dogsme too! How jarring...

Meh... it's not terrible. But it's also not great. Lyrically Aesop is untouchable, and though Kimya's lyrics are intelligent and thoughtful, her voice is so flat and blatantly off key that I just can't jump on board with this. I appreciate what they're doing here... but I'd much rather her just be cut out entirely and Aesop use his lyrics here for a solo album.

Opinions

Getting pissed because an artist makes art is some dumb shit my dude

Actually the opposite for me. Always appreciated Aesop as an amazing lyricist but getting to hear him spit over something so simple made me start appreciating his flow more and now I'm going through his discography like why the fuck did I ignore this so long?

Andrew Yeah I fell in love with her voice when I heard The Uncluded album, it paired perfectly with Aesop and everything else. Love them and I’m picky with my music.

He is unreal, best to do it

🙏🏻

Same here!

Barron Keith check out LICE

unforch it'll never happen. they are no longer bandmates and/or friends :(

@@SickSickCix yes I’m aware of the falling out. Will be one of my favorite albums for the rest of my life tho.

@@SickSickCix do you know what happened?

@@godlesspeacesign8852 personal grievances, from what I understand. I know a few people close with AR and it’s known on the downlow that he becomes by orders of magnitude more difficult to work with the closer one gets to him personally.

@@SickSickCix shame

*poke* It's such a big internet and we ran into each other.

It only looks complicated because she is using her thumb for every string. She has to go really fast.

No they're not

RyanGiggsOBE check out cunnynglinguist (?) ft sadistik and aesop rock! there ya go!! :)

Padooshka I actually have that mixtape, I completely forgot. Thanks for reminding me, going to chuck it on now

***** Really. I regard Akala as one of the best right now. His Fire In The Booth (part 1) is one of the best things I've heard. Great lyricist and his flow is incredible

Yes sir, Bats is dedicated to Mikey aka Eyedea

Ruben Alaniz best emcee(s) ever? That's a stretch.

Agreed Michael Larson was phenomenal 😍

Aes is the best MC to ever live.

this video came out on my birthday last year--happy birthday to me, shoutout to kexp and aesop on the beat!

He did briefly after leaving New York then he ended up living in a barn in thr northwest while he made the impossible kid I'm not sure where he ended up after that

so he knows the mic is the same distance from his face

the first line in the second song is 'i can take my finger off' clearly you can not.

I imagine that he's doing circular breathing and keeps his finger there to keep from exhaling on the mic while he's rhyming

i think the album was made with iphone recordings and stuff haha, so this is probably much higher quality vocals
