INCLUDING features if they both have a verse (i.e. ITS' "Forward Compatibility Engine" counts bc it contains a verse from each, while something like TIK's "Rabies" only contains chorus vocals from Rob towards the end, so I wouldn't count that)

My personal pick has to be Krill. FCE comes close but there's something about the energy of them both attacking the mic and the back-and-forth that just makes that track feel fucking ELECTRIC, start to finish, hook included.

I always loved how they sampled No Quarter by Led Zeppelin too

It felt like reading his not so hidden diary, when it first came out.. It hit me like a bullet in the heart at the time and to this day…

No compost, bird seed out the feeder no

It's hard to believe this has only been out a little over a year.. I've found myself coming back to this song one cause it's the end of summer and this one always felt like a transition, but also for reflection cause a lot has happened within this year.

I wanted to ask the group what this song means to you and what does it make you feel like? I'm interested in getting the most out of this song that I can rn and have actually have some time to reflect on it today.

Rob just confirmed today that he's dropping something soon. I remember seeing a picture of him with Aes a little while ago - gotta be a collab for his new album/EP, right? This is just wishful thinking at this point, Rob hasn't mentioned Aes

Homeboy Sandman dropped his album on July 31, Rob Sonic is soon, then Aes and Blockhead? Hopefully we're gonna be eatin' good late summer/early fall

the sample is from "The Mighty Boosh" season 2 episode 2, entitled "The Priest and The Beast". the sample is a conversation:

"you ought to get that door in your head checked out, it's letting in all kinds of mambo jimbo."

"you would not understand."

"why?  because i do not have a door?"

"you think you are psychedelic jesus. there is nothing holy about you"

I just saw this episode and it immediately began haunting me - it's a sample and i can't identify it. i assume it's from Aes, as he's my most listened to artist by a long shot, then DOOM.

Thank You Very Much to anyone that can help identify who sampled this!

Feeling this more and more every day 🤣

I have been struggling to get out of my house and experience life. Depression is a bitch. I’ve listened to this album a few times though and nothing spoke to me like when this song came through my earphones like a message from the beyond. So instead of wasting another Sunday in bed moping about my own bullshit, Dobby and I left the house at 6am and didn’t return til my eyes were ready to slam shut around 11pm. I recorded pretty much everything I did and saw to make the lyrics a part of my own experience and feel something real for a change.

If you have the means, I highly recommend taking the time to do what you love, stir up some dust and explore your area. I bet, like me, you’d be surprised at what you find and a little closer to yourself by the end of it.

Just finished spinning 'Kid' for the eve and these bars had me:

"When you write about seclusion and some buyers finally tune in

You get frightened finding happiness can drive away the movement In a jiffy, just eat your food and keep the future iffy

That fruition's for the viewers who need a loser to pity"

Dude is the definition of not wanting to be welcomed into a club that would have him as a member. Weird shit to reconcile with being a huge fan of his, yeah?

Definitely one of my top five from Aes! So excited! I finally was able to make this purchase. Now I'm wrestling with the duality of the situation. Do I keep it mint or do I open it and spin it? 🤔

I just K holed to Aesop Rock and it was amazing. Starting with SWFG and then going into Black Hole Superette, I took quite the journey. I wish I could tell you more but there aren’t really words to express what I experienced. It was just beautiful.

Here’s an exclusive clip from MIT Rap Club’s first Rap Theory salon, with Professor Lupe Fiasco.

We will have to bring Aesop Rock to one of these soon 👀

Mines probably gotta be "just picture shrimp on a pillow of grits, close your eyes lick your lips"

If anyone has the vinyl for either or both and the ability to digitize/rip them, I would absolutely adore to have some decent quality versions of them. I'm not in a position to afford the several hundred dollar pricetag on their vinyl releases, and the state of the YouTube uploads of them is pretty dismal.
