Right on. I'm so proud of being from Minneapolis. On a daily basis I see and experience the places that Slug wrote about. And some people say that the place where you live is a cheap form of identity. But I disagree. I love this city. I'm proud of what "we" accomplished. I love the musicians, art, and culture that came from this city. I love the sidewalks I walk, and the people I meet. The city is part of me now, so of course it's part of my identity. MPLS forever.
I don't think I'll ever stop watching this video every now and then. It's such an amazing song, and the live music just tops it all off. I'm completely in love with this
I met slug outside of the house of blues in Boston in 2018, he was SO humble. That same night he played this song with NOTHING but a spotlight and his angelic voice. It was truly beautiful magic. Best night of my life.
Fan since Overcast. Went to a couple concerts at 1st Ave back in 2001/2.... Although I’ve never left. I’ve noticed that when times get tough, I come back to Atmosphere like it my first deep dive. Thank you
August 15th Slug live at Strummers Fresno CA! I've been waiting for this moment since I was 14 I'm 27 now long time coming Slug got me through my youth!! 🙌
He said this period of his music doesn’t represent the person he really is. He said he was focused on making stuff that would get in with the underground scene
Can we start showcasing artists like this on all big streaming, media, and award shows, instead of the 90% of garbage mainstream artists that get all the attention, acclaim, and money? I think people fail to realize that Music and Song Writing is an ART FORM! We're all too dumb and distracted with these stick figure and color by number artists, that we are basically oblivious and neglectful to all the da Vincis, Monets, Warhols, and Van Goghs of the music industry. What does this say about the people listening to, sharing, purchasing, and advocating today's music? The spotlight ought to be redirected, like now!
Slug right here looks crazy....Hockey hair plus a mustache? Great song but thank god this look was a phase. He looks like Schneider from the TV show One day at a time.
I feel like Slug is one of the most underrated storytellers in hip hop
Absolutely.
For sure especially for the time
What is this song about? What do you think it is about? I love it so much
Without a doubt
Yeah he is an underrated storyteller for sure, but this song isnt a story imo. This song is a poem.
This is seriously one of my favorite songs of all time... the story telling is unreal. Fuckin proud to be from MN

I love this version the most because of the improvisation at 1:52
Slug makes me want to visit MN SO BAD, one day hopefully
@@abelardopascual6564 Well..... This comment didn't age well 😬
This song got me through the toughest times in my life and I don’t even know why... thank you slug and ant
Because there's a beautiful message of hope and reality and how you can live with both
i’ll recant this in my afterlife
and godlovesugly#
Man, this is so good. The album version is awesome, but this is on another level. Whoever is playing the keyboard absolutely nailed it.
Keyboard player is the best one, and it’s cos he’s not white
Slug. The hip-hop artist that America needs but doesn't deserve.
Damn I remember being 18 and at this show. Throwback.
S West ur a lucky fella
Same! It was so intense and powerful I could barely stand. I thought I was gonna hit the ground several times lol
I don't think I'll ever stop watching this video every now and then. It's such an amazing song, and the live music just tops it all off. I'm completely in love with this
the ONE thing i want to do before i die is see Slug perform this live. Beautiful song.
That's it? Damn.
they don't perform this song often anymore...i was lucky to see them do an acapella version at berkley in 2015!
I just missed him in amsterdam last year
I live 10 kms from there damnit
He performed this song in Fresno, ca early this year in march, he played almost everything from When Life Gives You Lemons and Lucy Ford.

God so many high school memories and rip eyedea
Every time he cuts the beat off and the crowd says “I just got turned”, no matter how many times I watch it.... goosebumps. Every. Time.

I've been to 6 or 7 of his shows including this tour and they always give such a sick show
Sudden flood of Atmosphere videos? Clear my schedule!

I've loved and will always love ATMOSPHERE til infinity!
August 15th Slug live at Strummers Fresno CA! I've been waiting for this moment since I was 14 I'm 27 now long time coming Slug got me through my youth!! 🙌
This group helped me though a lot. I guess it’s because they understand pain.

Legendary...Atmosphere made their best music when Slug was a tortured soul.
thegoldenhero agreed. the lucy years (as i call them) were pure gold.
damn
He said this period of his music doesn’t represent the person he really is. He said he was focused on making stuff that would get in with the underground scene
headcoLd 7 wasnt he talking more about Overcast specifically when he said that?
I wish that solo at the end would have continued for a whole lot longer.
Damn with a full band ? Sick
That guitar riff at the end.
THIS IS DOPENESS
Dope!
yes
A girl named hope i hope someday a live video perfomance atmósphere the best

No. The underground needs to remain underground. Mainstream and corporate exposure corrupts all.
Im here on 2025 and i hope all the past fans are too 🎶
‘Sweet Jesus!’
stage presence from day 1/2
2020 still my life story in one beat!!!
Probably the best song ever performed live….don’t try to change my mind
nice mantra
Is it just me, or does slug kind of look like mike patton here?
Seattle love to mesa
6,000 views? The world has gone mad
Mallory trevino 1985 2012 ❤

Slug right here looks crazy....Hockey hair plus a mustache? Great song but thank god this look was a phase. He looks like Schneider from the TV show One day at a time.

Slug has always looked like the best dude to me
