Default Aesop Rock - Skelethon



If you are unfamiliar with him as an artist, I suggest starting back to his second release "Labor Days" which was what originally got me into him.
He has a strange manner of speech that to me is more than mere novelty for the sake of being different.
He's admittedly hard to get an ear for, but once you get an idea of his use of language it's hard to not get addicted.
For example instead of saying: "Until the fat lady sings" He would say something like "Until the chubby debutante conquers the high note."
His newest album I just picked up yesterday and I gave it a listen from start to finish and I will definitely keep it on repeat.


Zero Dark Thirty


Leisure Force - Track 01

"Down from my huntable surplus to one"

What does one imagine he's talking about here?

My current favorite track, but it's a hard pick.



Cycles To Gehenna






Baseheads locally approach all spark plugs
Total disregard for a dying man's shark jump
Post-meridiem pretty tungsten attracts any once—pale horse painted gunmetal black
Face masking, hard-shelled ebony propeller hat
Clubmans, gloved rakes grappling the clutch span
Tuck go the steel toe, metal gate spreading
For the dead-alive that rented parking space 37
2000 out the weekly under "Cycles to Gehenna" gets him floating over 20 busses
Fireproof and festive
Corners like a two-tired tiger so a too-tired rider can accumulate a few excited fibers to assign
Knows no zen in the art of maintenance
Only as the orchestrated patron saint of changing lanes baby
Here is how a great escape goes when you can't take your dead friends names out your phone

Eyes and teeth, new moon on a scale that defies belief
Outside what our fundamental sciences teach, every other mighty lion asleep
Gangway - mine eyes, mine teeth

The man-ape translates glam thru the visor
Goes in water lillies
Am-scrays Giger, and man—ray
Crammed in a one-player campaign
Blinker like a hallowed bonfire over Samhain
Span where the praying hands mandate
Bars an extension of the arms
They're mutating instead of being farmed
Tonight beneath a marmalade venus
Haunted mowers chewing every glowing yard of mud between us
Going Ford, Jag, Datsun, Corvette, Lotus
All cones you can slalom when your focused
Via mechanical Dartmoor Frankensteined poorly
And sanctioned by a New Yank Yorkee
Who knew that any moment he could lose it to the decopaged suicide flooring
And still he keep his fuel tank portly, the 30 odd year old gears thank charlie
The scarfthank Mom's new hobby, kssssht! copy

Eyes and teeth, new moon on a scale that defies belief
Outside what our fundamental sciences teach, every other mighty lion asleep
Gangway - mine eyes, mine teeth

It was less an act of hubris
More a lonely hearts club at the helm ofa magic bullet
Away on a relentless bid for rarefied inertia
Rattletrap forks married to the patchy terra firma Ursa Minor getting warmer
I crowbar into the pecking order
The dreck between the whores and Betty Ford-ers
Hug a double yellow spine
Knobby rubber like a rat on a rope
Those little fuckers run on passion alone
This is the product ofa d.i.y. inadequate home
Grabbing a cabin in the-fuck-outta-dodge
Actin' a savage in the shadows of Rome
Amassed against insufferable odds
Fashioning gallows out of plastic and bone
I got the motordrome walls of death splintering under me
All-city galvanized bikes white knuckling
Bright light, tunnel kings tuck in the devil

He has the most annoying sounding voice in the world today. And his lyrics are hipster garbage.

his rhymes don't make any sense in labor days or that other album i listened to. I only listen to music with meaning. example:
Juicy J - Won't Miss Ya - YouTube

His rhymes are all train of thought. And why is it "hipster garbage?" Because you can hear his words? Or is it because he's not rapping about clothing lines, cars, and Twitter. A la lil Wayne, Drake, etc. Fuckin radio rap.

Not the BEST...just very popular...I've learned to.accept that 80% of the populous has poor taste in music...and 80% of people listen to overproduced, overplayed dirt. Drake simply speaks.quickly into the Mic and calls it "art."
