This is really resonating with me. I don't know much about him but I'm in therapy at the moment and I had a eye opening session recently where we talked about this concept of "fear of success". I used to say it about artists around me. But my therapist made me realise what it is. A fear of the unknown. A fear of what we're not used to, even if what we're used to and comfortable with is failure.
yeah, I think many can relate to this too. I know people who have literally gone off the face off the earth because they couldn't handle success, not that they had it, but just that the option was a possibility, but then when we finally linked again 20 years later, they moan about no one cared when it was them who took themselves out of the equation. I know you won't be one of those guys, but those guys exist. I don't know whether to laugh, cry, give them a bollocking about not blaming the world for their fuck ups and bad decision making or just have a salad sandwich and mind my own.... Failure is not an option for the driven!!
@@0521Official 100%! He has a big part in me realising it's ok to just write about what I know, as totally uncool as that may make me 😂 Great interview!
@@0521Official Absolutely! Long live Atmosphere!! You should see about speaking to Sage Francis some time too...P.O.S could be interesting too, such a talented guy who's gone AWOL after some stuff came out about his treatment of women :/
Props for bringing us this absolute gem. Legends in the building! Been listening to Atmosphere for what seems like forever. Great interview. Rhymesayers in effect! R.I.P. Eyedea. Gone but not forgotten.
Thanks for watching. Doing this interview took me back to re-listening to all their albums and watching videos, and what an amazing journey that was and is. I don't think I recognized how much I actually relate to Slug through his lyric, but was a gem for real !! R.I.P. Eyedea 🙏
@@ESKARAP Thanks bro, and yeah that's a sick album too. I need to go back and listen again cos it's been a while, but used to listen on my mp3 player when I used to go for long walks to chill back in the day
i think hes wrong about instagram being better than twitter, but other than that - great interview. thanks man. slug is one of my OG's and i needed to listen to this today. ive been listening for twenty years, i guess im still looking for guidance in this clown world.
