ADEQUATE WORDSMITH | Adequate Rapper Raps Adequately | 1,000,000 SUBS SPECIAL!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ก.พ. 2024
- OK, I promise this is the last of my self-indulgent 1,000,000 subscriber content now!
As we began creeping towards the million milestone last year, I knew I wanted to make a sequel to Amateur Wordsmith that was much more extravagant, and showed the leaps in music and video production quality we’ve made over the past 8 years. I hope you can see the improvement!
And what better place to shoot a gaudy hip-hop music video than Las Vegas itself?! A place I’ve always wanted to visit and film in! Honestly, I’ve been looking to find an excuse to film at the Neon Museum since I found out it existed. What better time than now, at the big ol' milly mark!
This is by far the most expensive video I’ve ever made on this channel, so uh… pray that the algorithm overlords smile kindly upon me and grant me good ad revenue. In any case, this wouldn’t have been even remotely possible without the support of my Patrons, so special shoutout to all of you!
Make sure to check out the credits below and check out all of the brilliant vendors we worked with in Vegas for this music video. Everyone was really welcoming and accommodating!
Thanks again to everyone who has subscribed to and supported this channel over the years, it really means the world to me that I get to do what I do for a living.
How do we top a video like this? Subscribe and find out! I have ideas for a potentially even MORE silly and extravagant video if we ever reach 2 million…

LYRICS:
VERSE 1:
Way back in twenty-sixteen I went and penned a ditty
About the rapper I was clearly just pretending to be
But I think I’ve been improving pretty evidently
And there’s a million people out there who would tend to agree
Now who am I to attest that I am really clearly the best at rhymes?
Will I be left behind or stand the test of time? Success predestined? We’ve yet to find
Though far be it from me to come and claim superiority
My vids that hit the milly are quite plainly a majority
Oh honestly, did you not check my policy?
I always rap in character and hardly ever drop as me
Historically, you probably first heard memes on TikTok of me
Extolling on the horrors of a corporate economy
So, if you sit back and have a listen, let me have a moment
I truly haven’t had a minute yet to have a go at
Doing that cool rapper bit and penning bars and flows just
Supercalifragilisticexpibraggadocious
Negotious, verbosity velocious
In quality? Ambrosious - thesaurus adiposis
I may not be an A-lister but I’m still on a list of
Rappers who get paid, so I must make pretty dope s**t
Mitosis and Moses could never split opinions so well
Like mitochondria, I’m the powerhouse of the sell
Defined a genre decrying those with mountains of wealth
And then made millions on the million of you sounding my bell
CHORUS:
You’re listening to the missive of an adequate wordsmith
But because they’re insecure they felt they had to confirm it
So, if you’re a bit indifferent you clicked the track
Here’s a few more minutes you won’t get back
VERSE 2:
Am I a rap god? No! But I’m surely in the rap clergy
Spitting like confession in the booth when I rap nerdy
Father, forgive me I have syn-co-pa-ted
Beat’s off but they’ll never make their tracks dirty
Rocked up to the strip with my duds all glistening
Got more drip than octuplet christenings
Guttering ripped and it’s thundering, drizzling
One gets dipped, every youngster’s dribbling
Pack more paper than Dunder Mifflin
Bars so hard that my puns need chiselling
The ladies, the gays and theys wanna play
But mum’s here visiting
Spit so hot I gotta keep my verses in urns
Other rappers green with envy - call it Verdigris burns
Though, perhaps maybe I’m milking it where words are concerned
My bars are buttery smooth because they’re perfectly churned
My similes and metaphors are intricately clever - yours
are lacking, rhymes are flagging like you’ve written them in semaphore
I’m chilling on the beach, you’re adrift and yet to get to shore
You never made the sales, so I think you’ll have to peddle more
WHISTLE BREAK:
Yeah, I’m doing a whistle break
What are you gonna do about it?
Just wanted something to space things out before the bridge starts
Oh, here we go…
BRIDGE:
All these years chasing meaningless numbers
Hoping to flee from this feeling of numbness
Trying to drown all my doubts and my fears in the light of acclaim
For eternity now my self-worth has been tied
To the number of characters you have to type
Into TH-cam before it can guess you are writing my name
Was it worth all the work and the stress and the pain?
All the worries that lurk and obsess in my brain?
All the nights without sleep, all the fatigue and tired
All the ungodly gallons of caffeine required
(I could go find a nine to five
Be bored but maybe I’d survive
More than another year before I fall apart
So hard to comprehend that I’ve
Felt dead whilst feeling so alive
I love my work but hate the fact it claimed my art
In every video I strive
To leave a piece of me inside
How many pieces can I find?)
My self-image anxieties I haven’t resolved
And the endless offensive of admin involved
The unwinnable game of just trying to keep
To an algorithm changing its mind every week
All the months spent in crunch penning verses and rhyme
To complete dissolution of personal time
I make songs about games but the irony’s clear
That I’ve not actually played one for fun now in years
All the torturous exhaustion contorted and mixed
With the knowledge my job could be instantly nixed
Google could, should they want, kill me off with a click
Now I’m here at the top, was it worth all of this?
Yeah
Yeah, actually, it was
I’m in a Lamborghini
I can’t even drive!
CHORUS:
You’re listening to the missive of an adequate wordsmith
Though their need to sound impressive is quite frankly absurdist
So, if you’re a bit indifferent you clicked the track
Here’s a few more minutes you won’t get back
VERSE 3:
You know I put the sauce in the cans like I’m Heinz beans
New resolution to command your entire screen
Won’t take a rest - improvising a line spree
Drop off the cuff and escape from the crime scene
Foes all flake when they’re faced with my rhyme schemes
Ninety-nine problems, yeah, my van’s out of ice creams
Flows got you froze as you stand in my high-beams
Struggling to take it all in - size queen
Linguistically I get them in hysterics
The folks who write the dictionary are referencing my lyrics
Pork-manteaus go ham, pen indelibly-soteric
Yeah, I built my own brand, but I’ll never be generic
I'm the godfather of verse
I write lines that are quite hard to traverse
I slay that They/Them mayhem every day
And I’m just starting the hearse
‘Cause it’s your funeral, baby
You can hate me, but I can’t be deterred
Yours are marginally worse than the bars I’ve rehearsed
Come and spar with a nerd, watch your ass get interred
This vid has got you thinking I’ve a life of lavish luxury
Assisted by the fact it’s done entirely tax deductibly
That’s why I could quite comfortably still find the cash to budget these
Impressive looking stacks of totally artificial currency
I can’t believe I do this as a job
And I’m so insanely grateful for the view here at the top
Though I’m afraid that I forgot to pack a hat to doff
So, after all these years I’ve still no way to cap it off
CHORUS:
You’re listening to the missive of an adequate wordsmith
I got Wilde self-importance if I have to be Ernest
So, if you’re a bit indifferent you clicked the track
Here’s a few more minutes you won’t get back
More imperviously wordy than a Catholic service
I’m delivering prime rhymes like an Amazon purchase
Spit squeaky clean like I snack on detergent
Got the beets in the bag, you’re a satchel of turnips
Lyrical flips? I pack a spatula permit
And I’m wiping out foes like a laminate surface
Endless bags to the Banks, yeah I’m practically perfect
This Lambo was a rental and I have to return it…
I’ve a bunch of fine rhymes that you haven’t all heard yet
And I really didn’t want to end the track with a surplus
Like mechanical Kermit with a hand up his circuits
An incredible rhyme that really hasn’t a purpose
I’m on so many levels need my landings refurbished
Now I’m wondering if this ending bit was actually worth it
‘Cause should they develop extra ends to candles I’d burn it
Do you think they’ll notice if I reuse adequate wordsmith?
OUTRO:
One million subscribers
Wow!
Thank you so much
I’m gonna regret doing this here
Because it means I’ll have to lip sync it in the video
Which will be a nightmare
But I’m doing it for you
‘Cause I love you
I’ll see you at two million I guess?
I mean, probably before then but you get what I mean
(They won’t notice if I keep repeating adequate wordsmith
‘Cause I’m talking whilst I’m just repeating adequate wordsmith
It’s impractical to write more rhymes for adequate wordsmith
‘Cause we’re fading out as I’m repeating adequate wordsmith
Yeah, we’re fading out as I’m repeating adequate wordsmith
We’re fading out as I’m repeating adequate wordsmith
Still fading out as I’m repeating adequate wordsmith
This in no way undermines my skills as ‘adequate wordsmith’)
Oh, oh…
We didn’t do a fade-out did we?
Hi stupes
You're amazing 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
Thanks
I think I was part of the army before you hit 1M subs also congratulations 🎉
Congratulations bro
Adequate.
Glad you agree! 🧡
There you are 👍
Adequate Indeed!
indeed!😊
Yeehhhh
Really a power move for someone from the UK to film their “I might just be good at this, you know.” song in Vegas.
And in a (Rented) Lamborghini, hotel suite, and Limo no less.
And also 2 dapper suits
*3
Level 1: Atrocious Wordsmith
Level 2: Aggravating Wordsmith
Level 3: Amateur Wordsmith
Level 4: Adequate Wordsmith
Level 5: Advanced Wordsmith
Level 6: Amazing Wordsmith
Level 7: Astonishing Wordsmith
They're at least a Level 6 on this chart. you need to fix this.😉😉😉
pretty sure we need to fit Admirable Wordsmith in the middle of the chart somewhere
so youre telling me that weve not even seen the stupendiums final form?
@@haydenparsons5783 Of course not! They transcend even _these_ levels of wordsmithing!
They STARTED at Level 3.
"I love my work, but hate that it ate my art" is such a powerful line to hide in the background.
Claimed*
But yea it slaps so hard
@@emilygordbort7300 not claimed at all
sorry i lied it totally is claimed
@@jamiesmith78 oops
"I'm in a Lamborghini and I can't even drive." Is a very reassuring line to someone who also can't drive.
"this lambo is a rental and I have to return it"
Driving’s easy, you just gotta let you mind go blank and ignore the screaming speed bumps
Also as a 37yr ild whos learning to drive atm this is hit! ❤😂
Driving's overrated. Just get a top to drive for you.
Same here
"Oh honestly, did you not check my policy" "extoling on the horrors of a corporate economy"
Fine Print trending so hard on tiktok is legit the reason why I've been such a fan. Ever since then I've listened to every song both old and new.
Same here
@@_Rememberance_I found my way here through TV Tropes. Under the Hurricane of Puns entry i found Stupendiums Cuphead song and was curious. And now i don`t remember it anymore, cause Stupendiums other songs make the Cuphead one pale in comparison...
I just found a random song on my recommended and have been ‘nooked’ since
I've got back into them because of the find print but i had first watched them when why did i say okie dokie came out
Fine Print is the one that got me here as well. I like the truth being spoke with out fear.
Came for the rap, stayed for the 10/10 whistle break.
Glad you enjoyed it, man!
Gotta love a good whistle break!
YOU!!!! IT'S YOU!!!!! I LOVE YOUR PORTAL ANIMATIONS!!!!!
ALSO STUPENDIUM YOUR MUSIC IS REALLY GOOD!!!
Legend
Hello there Harry, I still need to thank you for showing me Stupes when you two worked on the Pit song and later the Fashionable Faction song. Glad I get to enjoy both of your works so much :D
H101UK
3:15 The way the lyrics here are displayed and the reflection looks is just subtle enough to not immediately notice, but the dopamine I'm getting from how well done this is is immense
Thanks for mentioning that! I didn't notice until you pointed it out.
Definitely gives Rest Employed vibes
A single 1 mil special is one thing. 2 of them, each with unique lyrics, tones, and viewpoints that contrast each other, is absolutely incredible. I'm glad you understand how absolutely incredible you are, because I couldn't find the words for it. The pure skill and dedication to this craft makes you one of the best on the platform, and I'm glad to see that the talent was rewarded. Here's to another million Stupes, keep doing what you're doing, cause it's great!
Thank you so much, friend! :D
@@TheStupendium you are Stupendous and you deserve every subscriber.
I like how it shows both sides of what your channel is the old and the new contrasted @@TheStupendium
"I slay that They/them mayhem" is the hardest bar i have ever had the privilege of hearing
And very few rappers can use it🙏🏻
Yessss
It’s a line I’m going to start using myself 😀
SAME, I loved it so much
Stupendium’s actually non binary@@stravickovmahn9505
I love the "here's a few more minutes you won't get back" it feels like i direct sequel to armature wordsmith and it is just very clever
It is exactly a direct sequel. :P
@@TheStupendiumThen I'd say you did a good job of making it feel like it
Ah yeah, the loved and respected Armature Wordsmith. Truly my favorite Stupendium song
finding out you were enby in the amateur wordsmith remake has got to have been one of my happiest moments of my life- the opposite feeling to enjoying a creator only to hear them casually drop some joke at queer folks' expense. from another queer musician, gamer and amateur wordsmith- thank you for all the years you've been an incredible piece of modern media history
Thank you, for all of the support, friend!
of course @@TheStupendium
omg I love so much it wasn't just me, I had no idea that Stup was a ENBY, and learning it I literally squealed, what an amazing icon we have leading the way.
Sometimes things just work out well, and I think that the TH-cam algo sending me here was one of those times, love having another spectacular musician to listen to! (And yea, seeing fellow queer folks doing well is seriously hope inducing)
ˇIt's almost as if all the coolest people on youtube are queer
"Verdigris burns" floored me. That was INCREDIBLE wordplay.
Nice callback to Room for Improvement as well.
Came to post this and not surprised that someone beat me to it, Stups is a First Degree rapper.
I don't get it
@@thewas9971 Verdigris is the green substance that forms when copper oxidises (think the Statue of Liberty), hence the play on 'green with envy' the line before, and verdigris rhymes with 'third-degree' (i.e. 'third-degree burns'), hence the flip on that line.
@@thewas9971verdigris is a shade of green (from the French Vert-de-Grece, or Greek Green) that’s the shade of old copper (think Statue of Liberty). It also happens to rhyme with “Third Degree” rather well, which is the term used for severe burn wounds. Hence, a verdigris burn is an insult (or burn) which is both very intense and strikes at the opponent’s jealous (because they are “green with envy”)
“Struggling to take it all - SIZE QUEEN”
You dropped this king 👑
I guess "ruler" would be more adequate for stupes
I don't get this line, but this song is a slap and Stupes continues to slay. Keep it up Stupes?
Im pretty sure its a dick joke.
@@baguettemangaming1997 tbh i am not sure i want to know what it mean, though have some guesses
I know exactly what it means and I love it
From another adult (I'm 57) who's never learned to drive - and who shares your love of all things orange - this is an amazing bop!
As someone else who loves all things orange and can't drive (though I'm much younger than you), I'm surprised there are three people on the planet who match that description. It also makes me feel MUCH better about my inability to drive.
3:30 - oh, this breaks my heart. Listen friendo, pick a game a lot of people like, take a few days off from your standard schedule, and play it. Announce beforehand that you're doing it, and aren't going to make any content out of it, so we can call you out for it if you do. This one's STRICTLY for you, you're not even allowed to stream it. You can TALK about it after you finish it (or decide you're done if you don't like it enough to finish or it isn't something with a firm end point), and if you get inspired and REALLY want to, you can START on a song about it, let's say... 6 months later. Paradoxical as it seems, of all the things you could do next this is what would make me, at least, the most happy, but I strongly suspect I speak for a lot of other people too. (The like count on this comment will tell the tale there, I suppose - if it does get a lot, that's your cue to do it for us, if not for yourself.)
Absolutely, we all love the songs but it’s important that it’s done from a place of happiness and enjoyment!
Well said.
You said it better than I could have.
They already hearted it but here's a comment for engagement, entirely because more engagement will reaffirm this
+++
3:17
The detail of your reflection singing the backing vocals is AMAZING. Love looking for little details like that!
I didn't notice on a first watch! That's amazing!!
I know right?! This BLEW my mind!
RIGHT?? Love those 😭
Watch 1: see video.
Watch 2: notice reflection
Watch 3: read words O.O

The effort put into Stupes’ lyrics never ceases to amaze me. “Syncopated” is syncopated. There are several well-woven references to previous tracks. There’s a metric ton of assonance, consonance, and alliteration. And to top it all off they somehow found 19 entire rhymes for “Wordsmith” when I legitimately can’t think of a single one. Yeah, that’s probably at least “adequate”.
I love your PFP! That game's my special interest!
"Rhymes are flagging like you've written them in semaphore"
I didnt even know what semaphore was so i had searched it up and oh my goodness stupes you are an actual lyrical genius
"I may not be an A-lister but i'm still on A list of rappers who get paid"
Hats off to you Stupes 6 minutes of non stop lyricism, especially loved the fade in of the second vocals, im off to add this to all my playlists, and congratulations on 1 million 🙌
"Adequate"? Honestly, I know understatement is one of the pillars of British society, but you know perfectly well you've earned the right to use stronger adjectives than that. Some of your best wordplay so far in this one, I think. Here's to two million and beyond, Stupes.
maybe Stupes is leaving themself room to pen tracks for further subscriber milestones- next stop Admirable perhaps?
@@MercenaryPenastonishing wordsmith perhaps
TO THE YACHT!!!
@@packwolf445 astonishing i think would be maybe 3 or 4 million but we'll see
Angelic wordsmith is gonna be the 1 billion video
When I first saw this drop I was thinking "Aw man, another re-release of their early work? It's good but..." Then I clicked and was simply blown away. The Stupendium continues to be my favorite artist with their incredible lyrical twists and turns, catchy beats, and thought-provoking lyrics.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Yup, it's a sequel to the old song, vs the remake of the old song a couple of weeks back. I wanted to do them back to back as a 2 parter! :D
Friendly heads up that I'm non-binary and go by they/them please!
@@TheStupendium Edited my comment to show proper respect, and picked up one of those awesome 1M Subscriber coins while I was at it. Thank you for correcting me!
I mean, you’re a bit indifferent, you clicked the track, and it’s a few more minutes you won’t get back
@@Bubbledazwood No joke, I was a little shocked at just how accurately @TheStupendium called me out. They are kind of the best.
Huh how did I not know they are non-binary...... I am such a fan idk how I didn't know that
Everyone goes on about the lyrics, and rightly so.
But we should take a moment and remember back to all the nice cosplays and outfits used in previous videos - and again in this here, the outfits are just fabulous.
I love the flamboyant and so over-the-top outfits, absolutely perfect.
I’m not even enby but I now want to use the phrase “they/them mayhem” in my everyday speak. This song is absolutely a banger, Stupendium! Can’t wait for the 2 million yacht!
“At 2 million we’ll do a yacht” I cannot WAIT for that 😂❤
Brilliant video and rap Stupes!
"Beats of but they'll never make their tracks dirty" " I slay that they/them mayhem" Those lines are so incredibly good wtf
Also " I`m the godfather of verse " comes before
Thank you so much for the second run of coins! I've preordered mine and picked up a Cosmo plush and a poster! As for the song? Astounding. If you class this as "adequate", I can't wait to hear the future "Adept Wordsmith". XD To quote you, "every line feels like a multiverse".
They're rhyming on a multi-plane; their lyrics work on several levels
This is basically a culmination of everything everyone loves about Stupendium, the amount of effort and money he spends just for classy suits and costumes and editing, the exquisite choices of vocabulary and metaphors and especially the dramatic expressions and character. The fact that the entire song being an introspective self analysis of your entire career from the beginning in 2016 to TikTok fame is astonishing all on its own, and the fact you made it sound GOOD is even better. I swear you would have to make an hour long video just to break down all the references you threw in this. Truly a masterpiece of a celebration for such a nerdcore icon. 🎉🎉🎉 (You better keep the promise about that yacht for 2 mil, we’re already counting down!)
The line about how much you have to type before the algorithm can guess you writing your name is one of the funniest lines, imo
Jesus Christ this whole video looks expensive-
But yet again, I’m very happy for you about the milestone. You definitely deserve it.
(Was that your actual mom? If so, she seems like a sweetheart. I’m glad you have people in your life supporting you.)
It was my actual mum!
@@TheStupendiumnice
"I slay that they/them mayhem every day"
Is smth i did not expect. But i live for it!
I haven't listened to you a whole lot, but the songs i have heard i do enjoy a lot, and you are incredible and inspiring with your music.
I didn't click this vid for a while cause I didn't notice the title change but once I realized I GASPED and clicked immediately!! This is INCREDIBLE! I recommend making a community post or something to notify people of the difference because this deserves to be seen!!
As someone whos nonbinary and isn't having their pronouns respected.
I admire you for pushing your pronouns and showing you AREN'T comfortable with masc pronouns, it means a lot and it's admirable you don't succumb to just dealing with he/him :D
I hope I can get that confidence someday with folk ^^
BTW The song is GREAT so much better than what I thought!!! Keep up the good work, your work on lyrics and music are incredible, proud of you!!!
Thank you, friend! I'm sorry you're not seeing that respect at home, I hope they come around soon. You are valid and deserve respect.
“Honestly did you not check my policy” making another reference to this song. Perfect!
Thank you for the heart @TheStupendium
This is genuinely one of the best self reflections by an artist of I’ve heard. Such amazing vulnerability
The bridge may be the best, most honest rap I have heard in a while. I was already floored from the first verse, but that bridge… WOW
Am I the only one who saw the 1 Million number and thought “Hey! I’M in there!”?
"All these years chasing meaningless numbers, hoping to flee from this feeling of numbness"
I feel you SO much on this part❤
"I'm in a Lamborghini... i can't even drive" just... the way they said it was so funny and cute in a way i can't explain
I absolutely respect the humbleness in the ego. People lack that self awareness these days. You're a real genuine person, and it's cool watching you grow but remain honest
Also lethal company and helldivers 2 I think would fit your economic / business type theme of video game raps
"Adequate" proceeds to describe a story in great detail some of the ins and outs that it takes to get to 1 million subs, reflects on the value of the work and it ryhmes with great sets, camera work, editing and costumes for a 7 minute music video. Adequate being a bit of an understatement here, I think.
The little neon sign that just says MUM! With an arrow is my favourite little touch in this video. It’s so wholesome.
Not only is this tune INCREADIBLY catchy, it's also a great and unique way to celebrate the big ol' 1,000,000!
The video feels like a night on the town after filming a big movie or finishing a huge project, an incredible way to celebrate the milestone!
Second line scheme that has me reeling is
"Foes all flake when they're facing my rhyme schemes
99 problems yeah my vans out of ice creams
Flows got you froze as you stand in my high beams
struggling to take it all in
Size queen"
Fucking genius. It's where I can't even grasp how you managed the things I CAN understand.
Excited for the yacht lol
Can’t believe you made two songs for the 1,000,000 subscriber milestone! Amazing song as always
Yea, I hope they know that we'll keep them on that
As someone that subscribed after listening to 'Four' back when you had 20k subs, I'm ecstatic you've gotten the success you deserve. And I'm all too happy to hear from you, the person, instead of just you playing a character. Keep doing your thing and we'll be back here for 2 mil before you know it.
The frickin ✨ *STYLE* ✨ love your stuff!!! FUCKIN SIZE QUEEN 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣and the light up jacket is just 🤌🤌🤌 *chef's kiss*
"Other rappers green with envy call it verdigris burns" goes so fucking hard. That green/third degree burns play is legit. ❤
Thank you both for inviting me on this trip, it was awesome! Plus, very cool to see the magic from behind the camera. All your hard work and effort has really paid off. You should both be really proud of what you have achieved! Congratulations.
It was a pleasure to have you along, buddy! :D
Well you'll have to pop up for Easter.
I asked, under the Amateur Wordsmith Remake, if you ever actually do honestly concede your own lyrical brilliance to yourself, Stupes... Well, you didn't reply back then but it does kinda feel like I got my answer in this song anyway. And, yeah, you do seem to acknowledge your talent and give yourself the credit you deserve with the occasional pat on the shoulder... Now let me do it, too: You are a stupendous creator of content and a Amazing Wordsmith. You are our Themperor Stupes.
Adequate? You actually BROKE people with that Spamton song! Give yourself some credit now and then. You earned that silly little number by your name, you know?
How is nobody talking about “got the beets in the bag, you’re a satchel of turnips” that’s actually crazy. Incredible work as always!❤
3:45
This is the biggest flex in all of rap history... FIGHT ME!
Hey, no arguments over here. It's not every day that you hit the magical 1 million. You do that self-indulgents! You deserve it buddy. Love the song BTW.
“Like mechanical Kermit with a hand up his circuits” 😭😭
These bars genuinely go SO hard. Stupes, you deserve to be where you are, I love your music and all that you do! :3
Also those lines referencing Fine Print? Very clever along with all other lines in this one song, plus all the lines you’ve included in any song you’ve done. I did actually pause the video to read some of those definitions lol 😭 Anyways, Stupes, you’re amazing! :]
"They/them mayhem everyday." 4:44
Thank you stupes
The amount of confidence you show in this video (while still being funny, ironic, and somehow just energetic enough to not be too over the top) inspires me, genuinely!! I want to be a content creator, not in music but- I want to have the confidence you show here, I want, even the smallest part of my brain, to have that!! Its crazy the amount of work you do, you're amazing!! Just an inspiration!!
It's a silly thing, but as someone who's lived in Vegas their whole life, I appreciated that you didn't keep all your shots on the Strip. Getting the Neon Museum and a bit of the mountains around us was a cool add. Though I do get why the glitz gets the spotlight, it's nice to see the rest. Cheers to your well-earned success, and here's to more of it in the future!
As someone who is still figuring out their own gender identity I loved the line "I slay that They/Them mayhem every day"! So thanks for being the representation this world needs, and here is to another million subscribers!
I feel like people don't give enough to the backing lyrics after the whistle break, like genuinely, they hit like truck.
"Father, Forgive Me I Have Syn-Co-Pa-Ted" was so hard. Just so clever and so mad I never once thought to say it in church choir lol
I will forever love each song you make. Shelter from the storm still sits close to my heart. Keep going and thank you for all your hard work.
As someone who typically possesses the girthiest and most evocacious lexical prowess amongst friends and colleagues, it's refreshing and absolutely awesome to have content that regularly makes me go, "I don't know that word." SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW. You are, unironically and sincerely, one of my writing heroes.
That aside, I may've just rambled for five minutes solid to my roommate about how stupendous (see what I did there? :D) this video is. Love it, love it, love it.
Big fan of the reference to The Office with Dunder Mifflin. Thanks for the smile, Stupes! Oh, also, the MASTERY of wordplay with “Verdigris burns” is insanely good.
The people who like your songs are truly special. Literally, we are one in a million.
Or a million in 7 billion.
5:41 one of my favorite lines in the song
I'm having the time of my life replaying this over and over and pouring over every detail, every wordplay and every visual gag. Holy shit dude! I ask AGAIN: HOW are you this GOOD?!
Heck yeah, slay that They/Them mayhem! This is a work of art, Stupes, you've more than earned the subs and a break (if you want one).
Hi Stups, I've been with you for six years now! Your music has helped me through some really tough times, and I look forward to each and every song that you make. I'm so glad to see that you're finally getting recognized for your hard work (you absolutely deserve it!)
I know you will probably never actually see this, but on the slim chance that you do I just wanted to thank you. Your music provides an outlet for me, and has introduced me to some amazing games I never would've tried out without hearing you sing about it. Thank you, and here's to a million more!
Thank you so much for the kind words, friend. I'm glad my music has helped you! Thanks for sticking around for all these years! :)
Guys I'm in it! 6:50 (I became a patron days before this dropped lol)
Ok the scene with you leaning against the window with your reflection singing the background words was brilliant
"Mitosis and Moses" line wins my personal favorite award. Absolutely out of left field, love it.
after listening to your music on Spotify but never really interacting on TH-cam, finding out from this amazing video that you're also nb is honestly incredible as a fellow queer 💖💖 you deserve every sub and more, so proud of what you've accomplished!!!
Thank you so much, friend! I hope you enjoy the videos! :D
Shoutout to the girls, gays and theys! We love to see it
After a month of absentmindedly listening, I'm finally taking the time to examine the video as a whole and - oh my god? This is absolutely insane!
The subtle lyrics during the solemn part, so many little puns and twists spanning occasionally an entire verse, "hyperbole" appearing in a manner like the other definitions... I didn't even know ninety-nine was a type of ice cream, but when I saw the "99 problems, yeah my van's out of ice cream" I went to google it because I knew that it was probably something when with other artists I'd more likely have just brushed it off as a weird line. The quality is off the charts with this one!
I went to write this comment after the ice cream thing, but I'm returning after barely a line later with "pork-monteaus go ham." This has got to be some sort of world record.
God, I love it when Stupes lets loose and admits they’re awesome.
Honestly, I'd love to hear more of your work outside of making songs about games. I love your normal content, don't misunderstand, but I absolutly love seeing the 'you' come out in this and you Amatuer Wordsmith song.
Congratulations on the 1M! Already 1.04M as I'm typing this comment.
Damn...
Ever since I first found Stupendium trough Fazbear Family I've been hooked to their music as they were becoming my favorite musical artist of all time with no competition.
Ti this day, my top 10 favorite songs are just Stupendium and Neath is my favorite piece of media ever created.
This project is just so everything I could've asked for in a Stupendium special for a million subs.
The worday is just so GOOOOD
"Another bludgeoned lunge through spongey dungeon toys" is forever burned into my memory 🙃
And so we fall
ALL WE'VE EVER KNOWN IS BEING ON TV 🗣️
0:56 well if it isn't the fourth time we've heard this little ditty
May not be the 'God' of rap, but they reign as *DRIP LORD SUPREME* !
The confessions of the costs of hard work and uncertainty aren't lost, Stupes. Thanks for the work you put in.
1:12
"and if you think I'm saying that on the beat...you're mad...and that's a fact" -Stupendium
HE FINALLY DID IT :0
They* finally did! :P
But not backwards... And it's already in my Kingdom hearts song. :P
Oh man I didn’t even see how at 3:24 the reflection was singing entirely separately with its own subtitles. There are so many small details like this in every video. Yet another reason to love these songs!
Congrats, Stupes! You absolutely deserve this, and more! I'm so glad to have been along for the ride ever since Find the Keys and see how you've grown your skills and confidence. On behalf of us all, we're proud of you!
And the song, the song is great! Silly and fun but also genuine and heartfelt. I can already feel the amount of times I'm going to relisten to this to understand every detail will be huge!
Looking super-cute in the coin merch advert! Also, to quote Parappa the Rapper, U rappin' SMOOTH!
I thought it couldn't get better.
THIS is your magnum opus in my opinion, and I'm so proud! I just wish you took better care of yourself. I'd suggest setting aside games you genuinely want to play, and and song-making songs. Can't wait for more Stupendius content!
Well...I can, and will, cause it sounds like you need a break.
My favourite line was "This Lambo's a rental and I have to return it". :D
You absolutely slayed this :) your music makes me happy :D
I was smiling all the way throughout this. So many clever lines that need overanalysing to see all you managed to slip by us. How can people not name Stupes as one of the cleverest rappers who doesn't resort to "popular rap lyrics"? They are lyrically at the top and execution-wise as well. Oh well, back to replaying this to see what I missed and to listen closely to the background lyrics. Thanks Stupes.
I have to say, I was expecting something great, and this far exceeded my expectations. This is an absolutely amazing song.
2:02 Girl, give us a warning before you slay an outfit that hard, I went weak in the knees
And lovely human, please know that all your hard work has been appreciated, inspiring, and comforting. You deserve the numbers and accolades, darling, please don't doubt that.
That outro ad never happened!
It did happen, he just cutted it out using the youtube basic video editor when the limited edition stupendicoin was still available for purchase
@@aarongamingdev woooooosh
i love the animated penguins who appear a few times completely inexplicably
Every time there is a Mary Poppins reference! Completely explicable! :P
1 mil is an amazing goal that you have hit, but I have one statement...
YOU DESERVE MOREEEEEE!!!!!
So, another thing, my friends used to complain about your British qualities, and when they do that to me (a brit), I just brushed it off cause they just joke about it saying I speak gibberish when I talk in my native tounge, but when they complained about you, a switch flipped in me. I was like: "TAKE THAT BACK NOW YOU SACK OF -intense screaming and insults plus a lecture on why you are my favourite song writer- and now you know why I cant shut up about them." They still said that you weren't impressive, so after screaming for another hour, I showed them like 16 of your greatest hits and since they heard this and AD INFINITUM and by the end of it they were speechless because of your talent. They just went back to the PS5 without a word and every song they requested was one of yours. (COMPLETELY deserved, btw). Also, congrats! (Holy shart thats a whole ass novel-)
You had me at 0:49. Knowing whom to reference when you're trying to assert yourself among the top rappers of TH-cam (or at least those related to gaming) just shows you actually know your stuff, beyond rapping capabilities.
I dont get the reference
its not often the lyrics make me wonder how long they took to write, but 1:19 is now one of them.
whistle break was very needed, thanks bro
I love that these get longer each time. at 5 million the rap is like an hour long
