| Aesop Rock – Ruby '81 Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Easily one of my favorites off Skelethon even though it's only 2:34 seconds long it's a masterpiece. The storytelling is brilliantly woven with Aes' wordplay and that twangy piano that sounds like it's from a 90's movie really bring the climax of this song to a perfect ending. | |

With rhymes that flow off the tongue like: "Tuck go the steel toe, metal gate spreading, For the dead-alive that rented parking space 37" Or "Going Ford, Jag, Datsun, Corvette, Lotus, All cones you can slalom when your (Zorlac)? focused" And that whole last verse is amazing, specifically "Hug a double yellow spine, Knobby rubber like a rat on a rope Those little fuckers run on passion alone This is the product of a D.I.Y. inadequate home, Grabbing a cabin in the-fuck-outta-dodge, Actin a savage in the shadows of Rome, Amassed against insufferable odds Fashioning gallows out of plastic and bone." The imagery involved in that part of the rhyme is flawless. Really brain melting stuff. <3 Aes |
