It’s Aesop Rock time, again. The eclectic rhyme-sayer who burst onto the radar with his universally acclaimed Definitive Jux debut album Labor Days and then followed it up with the anthemic EP Daylight, returns to reclaim the truth and hand out lyrical beat downs to those who stole the up-rock and buffed the trains. Over four albums of futurized funk, Aesop Rock has been blowing minds with detail-driven narratives and dexterity defying word play. From the early records Music For Earth Worms, Appleseed and Float to the masterful Labor Days, his singular voice has filtered tales of Lower East Side city life through a highly personal lens. And that voice has reached out and touched an enormous amount of people. Surprisingly, while his last two efforts were legitimate More... (Submit New Aesop Rock Lyrics) (Submit New Aesop Rock Lyrics) Review about Aesop Rock Meaning | Reviewer: Malcolm Kane ------ About the song None Shall Pass performed by Aesop Rock The point is not to fashion a purpose for the song and have that be the end all of interpretations. If he did that, his music would get old very quickly. This all means something to him because he justifies it as he writes it. I write too and things like this come out. (Perhaps not on his level of imagery yet...) I justify everything I write and I couldn't imagine that someone of his caliber would just write something because "it sounded cool". As far as meaning, the beautiful thing about poetic verses is that it can mean anything to anyone. You read it and apply it to something; usually something recent that you've read or heard about or a philosophy that pops in your head after reading it. Whatever it is, if the lyrics can be molded to support or go along with your subject, the application is correct. So the answer is...there are plenty of interpretations from Lord of the Rings to the Republican Party. Even the writer is entitled to his opinion but in the end, just because you wrote it doesn't necessarily mean you decide what it means to others. As for me, I see it as a stab at Bush: "Not enough young in his lung for the waterwing" Katrina? "I'm a pull the pulse out a soldier and bolt" War? "When a primate climb up the spine and attach" Bush looks like a monkey. Government is the spine of America. Funhouse Cast = Electoral College Fall from Grace = Obvious... There is more but you most likely didn't read this far... humna humna humna | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song None Shall Pass performed by Aesop Rock most of aesops songs are about political nonsense, i guarantee unless your behind his song writing youll never know what exactly everything means. just the fact that this dude can come up with such obscure lyrics and make them flow is a craft in itself. just enjoy what this wizz put together and leave the interpretation to him, he seems to know what hes doin. simple | Reviewer: someguy ------ About the song None Shall Pass performed by Aesop Rock Ok, so I havent read further then the guy who posted about how he thinks this doesnt mean anything and I have to disagree. Just because most people cant agree on a meening to this song doesnt mean it doesnt have one, but your also right most of the song is just jiberish. If you look at the running theme of the song and compare it to the music video it seems to be a wholistic comparison of the human race to animals while making philosophical and political judgements on what have come to be commonly accepted as the machine of the western world. Thats only 40% of the song though, the rest is pure retarded jibberish because they were trying to convey messages that hadn't yet been conceptualized to the point of filling a full song. I could be wrong too, at least I didnt waste any of my fucking time using spell check or looking up information over another crappy song trying to sound more intelligent then it really is. Trippy video though. dazmo | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song None Shall Pass performed by Aesop Rock seemingly unintelligible nonsense lyrics are a wonderful way to express yourself, by listening to it, not so mch by making it unless your insane/retarded. take for example an analog t.v. station that doesnt come in quite right. stare long enough, and you might see pictures in it. now take this random gibberish. listen long enough and you might find meaning. but rest assured that if you DO manage to squeeze something out of listening to this music that it is YOURS. bollocks | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song None Shall Pass performed by Aesop Rock The fact that none of you can agree on what this means is a clear signal that this is a load of rubbish just pulled out of his ass. I mean come on...Lord of the Rings, to Mike Huckabee, to the American dream? You can interpret meaning from anything if you want and try hard enough; it doesn't mean that the person who wrote it is some kind of cryptic genius. I can't believe that some of your are willing to scrawl through Wikipedia or look up obscure Atari games to try and derive the slightest meaning from this tripe... anwers | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Coffee performed by Aesop Rock a great song, but not so much about corporations, at least not completely. it's about the republican party in general. the whole first verse is about the war in iraq. you have to remember when aes wrote this song, bush was still fucking everything up. Neverending Nuance | Reviewer: James ------ About the song Take Me To The Basement performed by Aesop Rock If perfection is the enemy of the good, then Aesop must join the host of saints scouring our feedback loop. For all his lyricism, if we can be so bold, he reminds us at every crooked volta that sometimes honesty reveals its schizophrenic entrails. And honestly that's the reddest of blood. crazy | Reviewer: capricious ------ About the song 1 of 4 (Thank You) performed by Aesop Rock i could not explain how i felt when i heard this song, but my only true attachment to this reality is drawn around the words from this one. you could not find a nother person to explain it with out actually tainting it with lies. pure truth... A simple observation: | Reviewer: IvySpikes ------ About the song None Shall Pass performed by Aesop Rock While this is obviously a stab at the Repub party, it is also about a specific president. Gee- guess which one? I don't understand how one can point out all the other political bullsh!t while completely ignoring these lines: "sign of the swine in the swarm when a king is a whore who comply and conform miles outside of the eye of the storm with a siphon to lure out a prize and award while avoiding the vile and bazaar that is violence and war" This depicts one with power (standing with his siphon), calmly waiting for his spoils while avoiding the danger and images of war. This is my favorite line, and there is very little room to argue about the picture these words paint... You don't know Aesop | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song None Shall Pass performed by Aesop Rock This song is clearly a reference to the stance of the Republican Party, it has nothing to do with Presidential aspirations because the song was written in 2007. He names several things that Republicans stand for (immigration, Pro-war) then criticizes it sarcastically and prophesizes what it leads to: "So when a dog-fight's hog-tied prize sorta costs a life Their mouths water on a fork and knife. And the allure isn't right, no score on a war torn beach where the cash cow's actually beef. Blood turns wine when it leaks for police, Like: 'that's not a riot it's a feast, let's eat.'" The chorus is obviously about George W. Bush's election and Dick Cheney's persistence to go to war. The cane is not a wizard staff, it is a CANE. "And i will remember your name and face On the day you were judged by the funhouse cast" reference to election "And i will rejoice in your fall from grace With a cane through the sky like 'None Shall Pass.'" "I will enjoy it when you're out of office Bush because of Cheney's declaration of war." Seriously, you guys don't see the signs, maybe it's 'cause I'm a Republican. illusion of depression | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Battery performed by Aesop Rock it's like, Aesop gives everyone such a drastic portrait of the many aspects of life. i have suvere depression and it's hard to explain- i feel isolated from everyone but when i listen to this, it for some reason gives me hope, it's like he talks so much of how i feel that i don't feel alone, that i feel connected to someone with the same problems- past or current. ...What? | Reviewer: Weave ------ About the song None Shall Pass performed by Aesop Rock This has nothing to do with Lord of the Rings. And @Ke...vocoder has nothing to do with a code. Vocoder is an electronic device that synthesizes speech. Nothing to do with coding his phrases. If you can't be happy with simple things that you can't relate to him. Source for Vocoder: dictionary.com dreams give hope | Reviewer: T ------ About the song No Regrets performed by Aesop Rock I just wrote a paper for school in one of my English classes about this song. It is one of the most lyrically in depth songs of its time. In 2008 ACE Rock was named the 19th most influential artist of the decade...and this is still the beginning, keep it fresh. Aesop is GREAT! | Reviewer: kipper ------ About the song 9-5ers Anthem performed by Aesop Rock Love Aesop, he is a poet able to speak for the entire working population, not just the american working population. he makes clear the level of alienation one is capable of feeling due to the capitalist regime we are all a part of. i applaud him! I also want to applaud him for using Dolly Parton's 9-5 choon as inspiration... "Fumble outta bed and stumble to the kitchen. Pour myself a cup of ambition. And yawn and stretch, my life is a mess, And if I never make it home today, God bless. Fumble outta bed and stumble to the kitchen. Pour myself a cup of ambition. And yawn and stretch, my life is a mess, And if I never make it home today, God bless." God Bless Aesop Rock | Reviewer: Gabriel Elfman ------ About the song 9-5ers Anthem performed by Aesop Rock I'm not american, I'm brazilian, despite this fact, the entire "Labor Days" album makes sense to me too. "Fumble outta bed and stumble to the kitchen. Pour myself a cup of ambition. And yawn and stretch, my life is a mess, And if I never make it home today, God bless." freaking awesome Thanks The true Rap King | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About artist/band Aesop Rock This guy can, in one track, surpass the entire discography of mainstream rappers in the field of lyrics. I haven't heard anything as genre-defining in rap since N.W.A.' s Straight Outta Compton or Public Enemy's It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back. I just hope he doesn't go mainstream and ruin what is definitely a great career in underground rap. With a Cane to the sky... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song None Shall Pass performed by Aesop Rock This song is very personal to me. I see it as the way most people in charge view people under them, like "none shall pass" And they mess around with the creative types like ha, ha, ha. And Aesop is like... You'll get your's. Amazing. | Reviewer: Chloe ------ About artist/band Aesop Rock I love Aesop Rock. Period. He's absolutely one of the most amazing artists of our time, hands down. His rhymes are a hundred times more skilled than any hip-hop artist I've ever heard in my life, and the music in his all songs is completely amazing and unique. People...bow down, for we've found a king of hip-hop and innovation alike. Three Fingers for Your Daughter | Reviewer: prettyDickey ------ About artist/band Aesop Rock Aes fuckin Rizzle is the very definition of a wordsmith and anyone who hasnt smoked 5 blunts while analyzing every word of Float is missing out on a truly mesmerizing experience. I honestly have nothing but love for Aesop Rock as an artist, but his fellow jukie wookies El-p and Mr. Lif are right on par with my man for anyone wondering. Aesop opened my eyes to the undie movement like The Wu introduced me to classic hip-hop and I havent been the same since. There is no reason to compare Aes to mainstream, because mainstream is not worth the time it takes to type this sentence. "Any rapper on a label should resign or quit." BAZOOKA TOOTH BIaaaTCH!! but i played it smart.... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song The Greatest Pac-Man Victory in History performed by Aesop Rock Anyone who's ever done acid can completely relate to this song. It's also nice to see how he looks back fondly upon his experience but realizes the necessity to move on, rather than trying to relive those moments, hence, "Some'll try to recapture the same flag but I played it smart and recognized the summertime past."
