Dropping In 1 week. August 28th. i'm so excited for this album. i'm not gonna lie i've downloaded pretty much all of aesop's stuff but i respect him so much, i'm definitely buying this album day one. everyone else should too
 
got that album and it's seriously mad..like most songs on it are listenable for ages
 
^Its one guy. And None Shall Pass is so good. I didn't really listen to bazooka tooth much. It just wasn't that appealing to me, but None Shall Pass is right up there with Labor Days. Its such a good album
 
tell me if im crazy but in the chorus of none shall pass

And I will rejoice in your fall from grace with a cane to the sky like 'None Shall Pass'

cane to the sky like none shall pass....is that a lord of the rings reference?...didnt see that coming..

maybe im crazy haha but listening to aesop is like poetry most of the time hes dope.
 
Aesop uses all sorts of popular culture references for irony. Sometimes he changes them around, sometimes it's the way they interact with each other in a song. It is probably a Lord of the Rings refernce yes. 

If you notice int eh song catacob kids, he uses "Knock em out the box ace, knock em' out ace... " repeating. This is a play on a Black Star song. Just another example.

 
Fuuuuck. I just realized he is playing the Filmore tomorrow night (thats in San Francisco if you dont know your incredibly famous concert venues) and I cannot attend.

Sad shit man.. FUCK. I hear hes incredible live too...
 
I could be wrong but wouldn't LL Cool J have come out with Mama Said Knock You Out before the Blackstar album. I just figured they were both paying tribute to Ladies Love Cool Jay
 
Aesop does not care if you download the song actually...

on his myspace he LETS you download the song. FOR FREE.

Ian (his REAL name) obviously does not care so much for the money, as he does about getting his message to the people... Which is totally legit, and very much part of the whole 'spoken word hip hop' genre...

 
which is why you should support him by buying his albums so he can keep spreading his lyrics everywhere
