Rock has the ability to make a decent ode to his cat Kirby. In the music video we see a puppet version of Aesop lounging around with a cat. The cat name is Dina and she was rescued from the streets of downtown Los Angeles, and has been adopted and found a forever home.<br \/>\nTo help a cat in your area, please consider donating to your local animal shelter. The video was directed by Toben Seymour.<\/p>\n<p>Catch Aesop Rock performing this and many more new songs LIVE on The Impossible Kid Tour, with friends Rob Sonic, DJ Zone, Homeboy Sandman and DJ Sosa!<\/p>\n<p>Get your tickets while you still can!
