:-: Long Time Long Time IK IK.. I just had to pop out the hole for this here.. Don't worry I'll be above ground for a while now.. Also MANNN this track is amazing.. The Beat insane.. Blockhead did the dang thing on this. Of course Aes killed it but Lupa on this did very well.. I hope more is to come from this.. Maybe a Aes, Homeboy< Lupa track 😅😅
I respect your dedication to the rewind, everyone acts like they perfectly understand Aes and Lupe off one listen to a verse. These cats require lots of replay, you did your job.
@@adambrydges1040 I know the first four lines is most likely referring to drug usage or using drugs to reduce Anxiety IMO. The whole box concept, being confined due to your anxiety, that's what I think. Being close minded and kind of like claustrophobic, being afraid of being in a small place which is your mind and you looking to get out .. I think this is what Aesops verse is about IMO
As always Aes takes a min to decipher. First few listens got me on this thought: It’s obviously “layers upon layers” theme. -Inside the box another box -pandora has a pandora -Aes is speaking about isolation and feeling like a phony pertaining to fame and attention…between you and your pumpkin seeds, & powerball, & Sunkist peach, at one or 1:15am all you want is drugs & peace. All you get is waves & waves of uninvited company -each secret layer has inner & orbiter, corridor after corridor This track reminds me of Mandelbrot sets 😆
Pretty sure Aes' verse is just him talking about all the danger and weirdos you might encounter on a late night snack run. "holes covered up with leaves" is talking about bear traps, like there could be a trap anywhere to fall into on his errand. He's keen to the furthest needle drop because he's on high alert. he talks about the odd untrustworthy people he runs into, "druid, vandal, huckster, priest" but he just wants his pumpkin seeds and Sunkist and it's late and he just wants drugs and peace. Lupe's on another trip, while Aes' verse is describing a scene, Lupe's talking about a concept, like how there's entire worlds inside the small details. He calls his teeth oral choral reefs because his mouth is an ocean, and there's even immigrants trying to cross the border hiding inside the tooth he's prying out lol. Lupe's verse is way more hopeful, like he's giving you the keys to some kind of knowledge. He's saying don't waste your lucky shot, "i rigged the wheels go gut the slots" like he's saying go for it because fortune is waiting for you, he rigged it that way for you even. there's a lot of contrast because Aes' verse is way more apocalyptic and cynical, relating to the theme of a lot of his songs which is about his fear of going outside and interacting with people. So when he's saying inside the box is another box it's like a hopeless statement like you can't escape, nothing's what it seems so beware. but Lupe's saying the opposite. Lupe's saying it's good that nothing is what it seems, there's surprises and discovery everywhere. which is pretty true to Lupe's vibe too, he's all about inspiration and community and education and hope. While Aes is more about the dark stuff, isolation and distrust and duplicity. Despite the differences it still somehow works together and I hope they rap together more.
I am also kind a shut-in misanthrope ("Coffee" is a fucking anthem), work from home, get off late, the convenience store down the block is open late but always surrounded by sketchy folks, and this is a whoooole ass vibe. Sometimes you gotta run the gauntlet for some funyons and soda.
I met Aesop the day before this came out. I was on my smoke break and he was filming sebo walker skate a 12 stair. It was crazy met my favorite mc and a great skater the same day randomly
Love it man, keep up with the uploads and dont give up! i just discovered your channel recently and i've been binge watching your vids. Dope stuff, good vibes!
Oral corral reefs. Coral is a multiceluar animal. Its a single thing made up of smaller things. Each cell of a coral reef is stand alone but they network together.
Pig noses are better at picking up scents than a dog's nose, catalytic converters removed things. Its a juxtaposition. Something good at recieveing to something good at blocking.
Truffle pig noses to catalytic converters. I thi k its the idea of taking something natural and good at what it does and sensoring it. A way of saying we take something beautiful and alter it, give it filters. Filter out what we dont like but in the process loose what makes it special.
Hey, you should react to one of my favorite artist named Eligh. I recommend his songs whirlwind, angel of death, attracted to pain to start of with. He has a lot of good music, it's shocking how little people know him. I'm glad you are open minded and enjoy exploring underground hiphop. Just subscribed. Thanks for the good content!
OH MA LAN You being like oh. Okay. Pandora. Box inside a box. Like Pandora's Box. and while admitting there's something deep there just shrugging it off like "well yeah that's what Aesop does" jues man says a lot. Rings used to be hard to decipher now you just get it. We;ll get it cuz like you said you gotta be genius genius genius genius to get what he says first time but ya knaow.
:-: Oh My Lan... Did you just quote something I said in one of my Aes reaction?? I Haven't watched it in a while nor remember the track fully in which I said that but I do clearly remember saying "you got to be a genius genius genius" to understand on a first listen. I'm very impressed with that comment Lmbo you even put Oh My Lan.. But yeah overall I know it's Alot deeper meaning.. I think Lupa was speaking of a pregnant woman when he said "Pandora inside a Pandora" idk lol still haven't yet figured it out.
:-: I've been having tech issues with my computer , webcam, and mic.. I did just order a new camera for my scooter rides/review but will also be using it to record for the reactions.. I'll be back soon.. I grestly appreciate and Love you my fellow Warrior..
You should check out Cool Calm Pete if you haven't already, he's got a pretty small discography and almost all of it is from like 2003-2005 but all of it is heat. He's got a solo album called Lost and he was in the group Babbletron. If you want to hear him and Aes on a track together check out the song Side Two.
Can you do a react to Harry Mack Omegle bars 85 or 86. Imo he’s the best freestyler in the world and what you see is real and off the top of the dome. He is a computer. You won’t regret it.
