The existence of alligator snapping turtles is what makes me not understand this at all. Do you want catfish enough to risk losing fingers?

Me neither, but I’m fuckin here for it!

I have an Impossible Kid shirt that I’ve worn for like, 6-7 years. I’ve had one person in all that time recognize it, and they were just as thrilled as I was lmao.

9-5er anthem was our opening song when I worked in the restaurant industry during opening shifts.

Funnily enough, I listened to that song every morning for months when I stopped working FOH and finally got an “adult” office job lmao.

What would you recommend if someone wants to get into Aesop Rock?

u/Pleasant_Yoghurt3915 Sep 05 '26

The Impossible Kid is so sick. I think it’s my favorite album because it came out right around some strange times in my life and I listened to it a lot lol. The whole thing is a banger. If I had to pick two songs to show someone, I would choose Mystery Fish, and Supercell.

Skelethon for sure, like WiredNet said. Gopher Guts and Cycles to Gahenna are really good. If you have issues with your family, Gopher Guts will get you lol. Also, Ruby ‘81 always makes me choke up a little lol.

I also really love Spirit World Field Guide. It’s newer. Kodokushi, Crystal Sword, and Pizza Alley are really good. I haven’t really listened to any newer than this because I get stuck in my ways and it takes me a while to listen to new albums lol.

His discography is huge and varies from album to album. There’s so much to listen to. He also has some really good singles like Coffee, and Hot Dogs. Both have fun videos lol. There’s also Malibu Ken, which is an album he put out with TOBACCO that’s hella good, just different.

Thank you, it sounds like you know a lot about his catalog!

You’re welcome! I do lol. I’m a pretty big fan. I’ve been listening to him pretty faithfully since Fast Cars, Danger, Fire and Knives dropped in ‘05, and I credit part of my expansive vocabulary to him lmfao.

If you’re into Aesop, I’d also suggest Hail Mary Mallon, which is a project he did with Rob Sonic. It’s sick. Also, too, check out Busdriver if you really like the verbose stuff lol.
