    I'm not normally a fan of rap, hip-hop, or even really anything with hip-hop lyrics, going as far as Massive Attack and Rage Against The Machine. But, for some reason I keep coming back to this track, and a couple others by The Uncluded.

    I find there's something really interesting about the juxtaposition of Aesop Rock's forcefully-delivered surreal and sometimes disturbing lyrics, and Kimya Dawson's folksy wholesomeness. She did this a lot with Moldy Peaches, too - contrasting drug use and degeneracy with fond childhood memories, delivered in her trademark raspy and singsongy voice.
