Great song! Simple, for Aesop, and catchy!
“Kirby” is actually a pretty simple song in terms of content for Aesop, being an ode to his cat Kirby. At the end of the song, he reveals that he bought the kitten because his psychiatrist told him to.
Popular song I like:
Aesop Rock - Pigs

This is a hidden track on the Coffee, the last song on None Shall Pass. It features Jeremy Fish, an artist who has done a lot of work with Aes, playing the kazoo.
It is a diatribe against capitalistic corporations. It uses extended metaphor of the pigs as code for the greedy business men. He also claims he wants to round them all up and kill them.

From the song description in the CD booklet:
Friends… Acquaintances… Enemies… Learning to judge your peers. An often overlooked element of being. The trials and tribulations of snake bite recovery.
The track samples Charlie Byrd’s “Canção Do Amor Demais” starting at around 0:29 (and throughout) of “Oxygen” and @ 0:02 of “Canção Do Amor Demais”.
