Hell yeah. Rings is a MUST. It's about his brothers. He's the middle brother. First is his younger brother at his baseball game and second his older brother getting denied his chance to see his favorite band by his overbearing parents. His brother is a professor at Harvard now I believe.

@@jasongrace4005 yesir! Bavitz has two brothers: Christopher T. Bavitz[8] (born 1973), a clinical professor at Harvard Law School and director of Cyberlaw Clinic at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society, and Graham J. Bavitz (born 1978).

It's childhood trauma. Moments that shape your way to process the world. Parents are just as clueless as anyone.

It's crazy to think that Aesop's production has reached the same heights as his lyrics.

A lot of commenters touched on this stuff already, so I'm just here to amplify. It's called Blood Sandwich because it's about his older and younger brother and he's the middle child (so a familial blood "sandwich" with his brothers as the bread and him as the middle). The track is about Aes missing his brothers, so he decides to share two anecdotes about them. Chuck got the first verse right, so brain cell to Chuck? 😁First verse is Aes at his younger brother's little league game. A gopher pops up, causes the kids to get distracted, coach annihilates gopher with a bat in front of everyone, game gets cancelled, but granny had her nose in a word search so didn't realize the game was over. You guys got the gist of the second verse about his older brother getting denied a Ministry concert by his out of touch religious parents.

"GOOoooo CUUUuuuuBS!" ...Cubs ain't playin'.

@zacherysmith8637 9 ай бұрын

Cubs ain't playing, to me, means after seeing the gopher beaten to death, made them grow up. No longer cubs. A scene that would try every child as adults. That line represents the lost innocence of kids that saw that go down. That's what I took from it, anyway. Aes is never saying what he's directly saying. Dude is amazing.

Hey guys you have great taste. Love Propagandhi, Bad Religion and Thrice reactions you do Aes is my favorite hip-hop artist. He spins tales about everyday stuff but builds metaphors in that touch on broader themes. He can take a while to get used to. The first part of the song is a story about his brothers little league game where the coach killed a gopher. His grandma is doing a word search in the bleachers and is not paying attention. BTW Aes does most of his production these days

I'm glad you've been exposed to Aes and I hope you dig into his discography. He's been around 25+ years and he's never had a lull moment. I think to help get maximum enjoyment, listen with an imaginative ear when he gets "expressive and symbolic" otherwise, it'll be easy to just dismiss his lyricism as full of fluff. Everything means something. Try Kodokushi, Gauze, Boot Soup, Holy Waterfalls or Jumping Coffin since they're all from the same album and it'll give you a taste of what he's capable of while being catchy as hell. This man has DEPTH.

Granny has dementia. She does not understand what's going on around her. Baseball? Go cubs!

@drudini5812 Жыл бұрын

"Granny yelling go cubs, cubs aint playing.." you basically said it.. watching a gopher get beaten to death will scar or "change" a kid. As in the "cubs" that began the game were no longer by the end
