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) powerful music | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Citronella performed by Aesop Rock it's about the descent of the american empire and the rapid morphing of society within that is quickly taking place. and some braggadocio thrown in there in the form of the juiciest poetry you've ever heard Amazing | Reviewer: Brett ------ About the song None Shall Pass performed by Aesop Rock I had to listen to the song about 6 times before I could actually rap along side him, this songs makes it sound like he's at his best. All rap needs to be like this, something that has a true meaning that can be conveyed to others, not just speaking of random vile words. But, thats mankind's way, eh? The Worms | Reviewer: Jamie Feterl ------ About the song None Shall Pass performed by Aesop Rock You know this does have biblical references but I think it also does reflect how society works. In addition to it having biblical references, look at the worms, they are angels...and the rabbit is being carried by the angel worms in an antique hearse....maybe the rabbit is going to be judged with the rest of the people in the line... inspired | Reviewer: KidVicious ------ About the song The Harbor Is Yours performed by Aesop Rock this song is ridiculously awesome. I love the imagery, and the honesty. Then, thats what i love mosta Aesop's songs for. The whole CD of None Shall Pass was just phenomenal. I can listen to it over and over again. Revolutionary | Reviewer: Hero ------ About the song None Shall Pass performed by Aesop Rock Like most people within my age group, I download music. I downloaded this album even. From start to finish this album was so amazing that I special ordered it on vinyl, best investment I've made in years. Phenomenal artist with an amazing way of satirically approaching very prominent subjects. Aesop- None Shall Pass | Reviewer: Jonnie ------ About the song None Shall Pass performed by Aesop Rock If you've seen the video then it really becomes clear on what he is trying to put across. I don't believe that it is just about the war in Iraq, even though some of the song addresses that issue (When the Cash Cow is actually Beef) meaning that what is deemed to be a profitable option actually isn't. Aesop is very talented, off the wall and at his best can deliver the most inspiring lyrics in rap. I've tried to rap the lyrics and it is so hard I'll agree with you there. Lyrically impressive | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song None Shall Pass performed by Aesop Rock Often I find a song I like that has a catchy beat, but not much else going for it. This is one of my favorite raps, not only is the music itself great but the rap is just Aesop at his best. It really is an impressive track. If you don't think his flow is that great, try rapping along in time with him with the lyrics in front of you. It isn't easy. He makes it sound effortless. Judgement Day | Reviewer: anonymous ------ About the song None Shall Pass performed by Aesop Rock Whenever I listen to this, I think of the final war on earth. References to Jericho, war, judgemnet day, and the main lyrics "none shall pass." This reminds of of how in the Bible, the angel to guard the Garden of Eden (Guarding man forever from the tree of eternal life(not the tree of wisdom from which Adam and Eve ate from). Other lyrics such as "where the cash cow's actually beef blood turns wine when it leak for police like "that's not a riot it's a feast, let's eat!"" This refers to mans urge to see blood during those times. "to make a dark horse rush like enough is enough" refers to the dark horse mentioned in Revelation."and i will rejoice in your fall from grace(- Man ) with a cane through the sky like "none shall pass" Reminds me of the Coming of Christ, with the heavens opening up. REVOLUTION | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song None Shall Pass performed by Aesop Rock I see it as the little guy (the poor) being pushed around by power and wealth, and rising up when there is nothing left to lose. This is happening in my town right now, and this will be our anthem! Sick. | Reviewer: rhinolite ------ About artist/band Aesop Rock Labor Days, None Shall Pass, and Float are the sickest albums ever. Aesrock can spit 100 bars in one track while all the other rappers seem to spit 100 bars for one album. That pineapple line that yero was talking about on that pigs [hidden track] is sick. Love that line. society | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song None Shall Pass performed by Aesop Rock I think it's a look at society everywhere and how it operates- speaking on several levels, citing ideas/attitudes that are prevalent in the world today as examples. It's also about being on top. This album seems more lyrically cohesive than some of his others- rocks my world. Sick, Sick, Sick | Reviewer: Yero ------ About the song Pigs [Hidden Track] performed by Aesop Rock Firstly, thank you so much for posting these lyrics. I haven't been able to find them anywhere. How sick is Aes Rock? I'm never unimpressed when I listen to his work, and finding new metaphors and word play is amazing. The pineapple line? Amazing. Everything he does is so sick. It's almost tragic that this is a hidden track because so many people may never hear it, though it may be a treat or reward to all the fans who bought his album instead of downloading. Innovative | Reviewer: Steve ------ About artist/band Aesop Rock Aesop Rock has to be the most innovative artist of our time. He does not just make words when he talks, he speaks to us- everyone. His lyrics are real and work with each other in true synergy- something clearly unique in today's time. The All | Reviewer: James ------ About the song None Shall Pass performed by Aesop Rock One thing that strikes me constantly about Aesop's lyrics is his ability to convey the truth in his songs. He understands the patterns that exist in all aspects of human experience. His songs could not possibly be defined as being on a single topic or event. Instead he paints a beautifully worded picture of the miracle of life and the battle against corruption that it faces. He is a warrior of the army of higher conciousness, and being from one of the largest cities in the world (and obviously having great verbal skill and a sharp mind) gives him a great vantagepoint of an excellent microcosm of the human condition in aggregate. The Shakespear of the rap industry... | Reviewer: Adam Simon ------ About artist/band Aesop Rock Aesop Rock has got a style like no other. Like my man Matt previously said, there is no other lyracist who comes close. No matter how hard some one works to copy his style it would be simply impossible because he is his own. I like to think of this cat as the modern day Shakespear, or Leonardo DaVinci although even those names don't do this man the justice he deserves. As each of those men listed above were the greats in their industry, this man too is the great in the rap industry, not only capable of painting a picture for the mind, but painting one so broad it allows any individuals mind to recreate any theme and idea they so choose. One can listen to this mans song a thousand times and hear something different each time. Simply put, Aes has attained a level of lyricism that all who truly know hiphop and are in love with what hiphop really is, aspire to achieve. m | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song None Shall Pass performed by Aesop Rock It's about the iraq war being lead by a stubborn president, then he talks about peace - then he does a call to us to reject the war machine at the end. Aes Rocks | Reviewer: Matt Heyn ------ About artist/band Aesop Rock There is no other artist freestyle, or pen and scribe that is even close. NO matter what. This man is sick. The metaphors and colorful pictures he creates with his words are landscapes etched in vinyl. The flow of the lyrics are really etched into the music. Any one listening to more than just a 'good beat' could hear the difference. Most people that say "I don't understand.", are notably less than musicians or just jealous. Did I mention this cat is white. LOL None shall pass | Reviewer: Cody ------ About the song None Shall Pass performed by Aesop Rock What i think aesop rock is talking about with none shall pass is about that "i will remember you, and what you've done to me, and the day you die i'll look down at u, blocking the heavens saying 'none shall pass'" aesop rock is in my opinion one of the greatest rappers out htere and deserves way more exposure. Yeah | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Daylight performed by Aesop Rock Tell me you don't. The man on the stage, in the bottom of a church, everyone screamin', "Yeah, but only when I pedal past him!" (Chestnut st., Phila. Pa) now sum up your life... Always in awe | Reviewer: Katie ------ About the song None Shall Pass performed by Aesop Rock Every time I listen to this song, album, or any other track by Aesop, I hear something I haven't heard before. This is the first time I've actually seen his lyrics in print. He's amazing. Pair his words with his emotion and beats and you have, by far, one of the best hip hop artists out there.
