Listened to this right after I graduated high school (2012) my friend Anthony decided to play this for me as I was chilling in his room cuz I was having a bad trip. All the lights were off, and I was just laying on the floor getting sent to another dimension. Have loved FBZ to this day.
Man, I remember when this dropped. They blew tf up with my friends and I. Takes me right back to high school. I’m so happy BetterOffDEAD is coming to Apple Music in a couple weeks.
I was bumpin some MF DOOM, then randomly remembered this Meechie Darko verse, and now here I am. Wow this is nostalgic to me now! Like to me, this is classic hip-hop!
If I remember correctly in an interview a few years ago, Juice was saying when they were forming Flatbush that he was the one learning how to rap from Darko and Erick, even though Erick was behind on the instrumentals when they were making music.
james askey lol idk why he said this cause Ericks been putting out albums since way back in 2008 when I found his Bandcamp. Pretty sure his first 3 albums are still up under Erick Arc Elliot
Who is on the same level as Erick when it comes to, first of all, producing absolutely magical beats, and secondly, rapping over his own beats and ABSOLUTELY destroying them with 100% consistency? Erick is the GOAT in my mind and it's not even a debate
in terms of being the producer of basically all their tracks and being a sick rapper id say he is the most talented, there would be not 'flatbush zombies' without him... juice and meech are both pretty dope but they more provide the image/brand of the group i'd say.
Bomb weed (nigga) get the Visine (nigga) Talk my shit hit the spliff till my eyes bleed (nigga) My I.D. architect get lively Clouds of smoke is trailin' me, but none of you compare to me It's rare to see me rappin', bruh it's not a joke when I be actin' up Johnny Depp, fuck a rep nigga I am deaf I represent the limited, the militant, and the innocent You can see it's real as shit you can taste it in your filaments Grind got me feelin' sick, bitches got me feelin' rich Cocaine for hors-d'oeuvres make her purr while she clears the dish So what I gotta flow you don't know what you're fuckin' with Got friends up on some other shit that'll load you right to the mothership Say I'm egotistic while then listen you're of no relief My shades are darker than my Benz just so you can't notice me Jeans saggin' pants low, the anthem light a candle After smokin' something potent, popo's on it like I own it Like it's mine, gotta recreate my thoughts until my organs leave my side My soul and body frozen from this higher high I advise you pass the craft, the gift wrapping, they televise actresses And recognize havoc when it doesn't matter what the fuck we doin' Drama's brewin' when you live in hell I blame this well lift this cell, heaven we prevail My golden rule if you only knew that if you will surface that you will float And your mother cervix born together feelin' perfect, nigga Curse you nigga [Verse 2: Juice] Dog it's nothin' to us, hot timer The showstopper, off the top like Shawn Michaels Hands in the air, light a blunt fix your hands in her hair Crush a bitch up split that dutch throw the guts fill it up then roll it up Repeat the process a few more times Feel that high, realize, the world is built from many lies But sometimes I float around in my mind Dilated eye, acid high, twenty-five Top floor believe inside that you arrive through yourself Feel your mind feel your body - feelin' godly Nothin' can harm thee from twenty bags to vacuum packed The whole platoona, greenhouses in many places This human race is built up from what we make it I've been dead so fuck rules and fuck haters Or anybody that wants to claim on my dead body Ignite the flame, smokin' lethal All I need in this life my sour diesel Keep my head up, let the dank roll The high livin', three gram spliffs Up in my livin' room with many women to consume Boned her with my boner, boned it till she comatose Call it overdose, leaving hoes and foes smokin' up a quarter roll Two fingers, peace ho [Verse 3: Meech] Kaleidoscope eyes watch as I dematerialize My team rolls with cohesion as we fly through broken skies Told her the windows are your eyes, she can't hide when deep inside And destiny is mine so I decide my own demise Niggas ain't ahead of I, we smokin' O's you smokin' dimes I strangle you, gouge your eyes, 'haha' as you bleed and die I love the taste of them tears, come on, come on baby cry Lets go free your mind, close your eyes, drift into the other side Am I out my mind or is my mind out of I?

This was their first tape so they didnt know if he would just be their producer or that and one of their main rappers and hes fucking amazing to and people said it also so hes both
nah this was when erick wasn't officially a zombie yet, he was just producing for them. later on they put him in the group, that's why in better off dead they don't have (prod. by erick arc elliot) anymore
“Am I out my mind, or is my mind out of I? I can’t lie, shit I impress myself some-times. 2 Tabs at 9, Tick-Tock, trip, time. As the chemicals combine with my body and my mind.”
da homie EAE has more talent in his left nut than the rest of flatbush combined bruh... he taught juice and meech to rap. dude gettin slept on like futons.
2024 still Bumpin this shit like it just came out 💪🏼
Listened to this right after I graduated high school (2012) my friend Anthony decided to play this for me as I was chilling in his room cuz I was having a bad trip. All the lights were off, and I was just laying on the floor getting sent to another dimension. Have loved FBZ to this day.
Man, I remember when this dropped. They blew tf up with my friends and I. Takes me right back to high school. I’m so happy BetterOffDEAD is coming to Apple Music in a couple weeks.
Tyler using the same samples as this legendary song so I instantly fell in love wit hot wind
exactly what I thought about when I heard it too
hell yesssssss
Brooooo yes as soon as I heard that I was like “man this reminds of fbz” lol because it is lol
@@reydiation1 y’all realize...they sampled it too right?
I was tryna figure out where I heard that sample for like a hour, then when I realized I immediately loved the song that much more.
tyler just used this same saple on his album i had to come back and go crazy
You a real Flatbush fan if you reading this
Fax
Fwu
👽✌🌈
No youuu
Bet
This album needs to be top 10 all time. The pure originality and creativity alone!
This gotta be my favorite song from these dudes, their verses are great!
I was bumpin some MF DOOM, then randomly remembered this Meechie Darko verse, and now here I am. Wow this is nostalgic to me now! Like to me, this is classic hip-hop!
Real fans been here for years , good sesh everyone
These comments is where you find the true Flatbush fans
ALL the way from Serbia my man !!
Straight up bro
what the fuck is up still banging till we die
Facts
Watched Scooby doo zombie island to this album shits trippy
The way Erick samples beats is crazy, he did this soo well!
its crazy how erick was only a producer at first.. his rap game is too good
If I remember correctly in an interview a few years ago, Juice was saying when they were forming Flatbush that he was the one learning how to rap from Darko and Erick, even though Erick was behind on the instrumentals when they were making music.
Still bumping to Meech's legendary verse in 2020
I still come back to this 7 yrs after man it never leaves my head
Shit is incredibly fire
on repeat
Facts
Only the real know ✊
Cant believe it’s been 10 years since D.R.U.G.S released
I'm so glad I'm not the only one coming back to these og albums🙏
"It's rare to see me rapping." ~Erick the Architect (2012)
james askey not anymore 😂they’re all soo good now!
james askey lol idk why he said this cause Ericks been putting out albums since way back in 2008 when I found his Bandcamp. Pretty sure his first 3 albums are still up under Erick Arc Elliot
@@milesb9191 They are, I bought almost remembered. a few months ago because I was mind blown by how good his music has always been
Who is on the same level as Erick when it comes to, first of all, producing absolutely magical beats, and secondly, rapping over his own beats and ABSOLUTELY destroying them with 100% consistency? Erick is the GOAT in my mind and it's not even a debate
the first song i ever heard from them, so glad i got it right from the beginning
Me too bro. Right when this came out, I went over to friend's place and got ripped to this whole album
couldnt have picked a better song imo
Mary,Nothing above thee😍
this might be some of the best hip hop i have ever heard in my entire life.
"why would i wanna be a tool for a nation who blames these rap dudes for you shooting up your school" -darko
You owe meech 74 likes plus tax for each you stole in directly qutoing him.
Bars
Romino King Misquoted 5 years ago and no ones corrected it?
one of my favorite songs
+PRINCE J is it because it sounds like one of those dramatic fighting scenes from Naruto?
+Link Hunter wp
Link Hunter lmao
PRINCE J me too man, me too😊
hard to believe 83 people dont get down to this butter mash up of poetry and music
I love the zombies but this is by far the best song i've heard from them!! and whenever Erick raps, he is amazing and shud do it more often
erick the most talented guy in the group by far.
Ollie Orme Meech is just as good they just have different styles
YSFalcons420 You guys should check out songs like baby of rosemary's baby and amerikkan pie before you say erik is way better the meech
in terms of being the producer of basically all their tracks and being a sick rapper id say he is the most talented, there would be not 'flatbush zombies' without him... juice and meech are both pretty dope but they more provide the image/brand of the group i'd say.
True Erick is the man and is way underrated.
They chopped this sample so fucking good into the beat. Mad respect.
Shoggoth03 that's all Erick ❤️
Factsssss
tru
this whole song is amazing, all three of their verses are greeeeeeeeeat
U fine af shawty...lemme get your @
Heard Tyler’s version , had to come back to this one too
Fr me too, people didn't even notice this gem
I sweaaar
2024 and I’m here 😮💨🔥
My team rolls in cohesion as we fly through broken skies 🔥🔥🔥
Meechy's flow is other-worldly!!
Just heard slow hot wind in a tattoo shop and was like - ik who sampled this 🙏🏽
Who here after the hearing the same sample in Hot Wind Blows?
One of the greatest pieces of recorded media in American history
In 2024 still is a banger
We at the tail end of 2024 and still bumpin this shit 🖤
2025 still bangin
6 years ago I heard FBZ while smoking a fatty. I was hooked to D.R.U.G.S immediately. Don't smoke anymore. Good ol days
I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too
@@badbraynz Inspiring, bro
I've waited 5 or 6 years of being sober to realize. This is the acid high we all wanted.
One does not simply "feature" Erick Eilliott
that's not why and that doesn't make any sense he produces all of their beats unless said otherwise
Erick wasn't part of FBZ when this mixtape was made
Astral Seeker yes he was he's always been he just didn't rap until later
Astral Seeker 😂
“And the president, Erick Arc Elliot, spell his name right or I’ll beat yo ass”
HOT WIND BLOWS
10 years baby. Zombie gang💙💯
This one of my favourites bro
My brother just sent me this. Erick ahead of his time with his sampling fr fr
such a classic underground track play this at my funeral
😮💨 the times when this was released
2019 still bumpin this gem
Same broooooo 🤯✌️🤓
This and MRAZ has to be Flatbush's best tracks. The beat is so soothing.
just lit my 2nd spliff and i swear those flutes in the beginning freaked me out
psychedelic
Man listening to fbz brings back so much nostalgia
‘19 and still listing to this banger!
Back again hehe the goats still rippin this incredible beat to pieces in 3019
Still to this day in my opinion Erick's best beat.
Am I out my mind or is my mind out of I?
I can't lie, shit I impress myself sometimes 🤯🤯
Meechy Darko 1 of the best ever in My eyes
Cant believe its been 7 years....
8 now sheesh
I was high listening to this hours ago and the singing part in the background hyponotized me lol
THE SHOWSTOPPER, OFF THE TOP LIKE SHAWN MICHAELS
Bomb weed (nigga) get the Visine (nigga)
Talk my shit hit the spliff till my eyes bleed (nigga)
My I.D. architect get lively
Clouds of smoke is trailin' me, but none of you compare to me
It's rare to see me rappin', bruh it's not a joke when I be actin' up
Johnny Depp, fuck a rep nigga I am deaf
I represent the limited, the militant, and the innocent
You can see it's real as shit you can taste it in your filaments
Grind got me feelin' sick, bitches got me feelin' rich
Cocaine for hors-d'oeuvres make her purr while she clears the dish
So what I gotta flow you don't know what you're fuckin' with
Got friends up on some other shit that'll load you right to the mothership
Say I'm egotistic while then listen you're of no relief
My shades are darker than my Benz just so you can't notice me
Jeans saggin' pants low, the anthem light a candle
After smokin' something potent, popo's on it like I own it
Like it's mine, gotta recreate my thoughts until my organs leave my side
My soul and body frozen from this higher high
I advise you pass the craft, the gift wrapping, they televise actresses
And recognize havoc when it doesn't matter what the fuck we doin'
Drama's brewin' when you live in hell
I blame this well lift this cell, heaven we prevail
My golden rule if you only knew that if you will surface that you will float
And your mother cervix born together feelin' perfect, nigga
Curse you nigga
[Verse 2: Juice]
Dog it's nothin' to us, hot timer
The showstopper, off the top like Shawn Michaels
Hands in the air, light a blunt fix your hands in her hair
Crush a bitch up split that dutch throw the guts fill it up then roll it up
Repeat the process a few more times
Feel that high, realize, the world is built from many lies
But sometimes I float around in my mind
Dilated eye, acid high, twenty-five
Top floor believe inside that you arrive through yourself
Feel your mind feel your body - feelin' godly
Nothin' can harm thee from twenty bags to vacuum packed
The whole platoona, greenhouses in many places
This human race is built up from what we make it
I've been dead so fuck rules and fuck haters
Or anybody that wants to claim on my dead body
Ignite the flame, smokin' lethal
All I need in this life my sour diesel
Keep my head up, let the dank roll
The high livin', three gram spliffs
Up in my livin' room with many women to consume
Boned her with my boner, boned it till she comatose
Call it overdose, leaving hoes and foes smokin' up a quarter roll
Two fingers, peace ho
[Verse 3: Meech]
Kaleidoscope eyes watch as I dematerialize
My team rolls with cohesion as we fly through broken skies
Told her the windows are your eyes, she can't hide when deep inside
And destiny is mine so I decide my own demise
Niggas ain't ahead of I, we smokin' O's you smokin' dimes
I strangle you, gouge your eyes, 'haha' as you bleed and die
I love the taste of them tears, come on, come on baby cry
Lets go free your mind, close your eyes, drift into the other side
Am I out my mind or is my mind out of I?
I can't lie, shit I impress myself sometimes
Two tabs at nine, tick tock, trip time
As the chemicals combine with my body and my mind
Oh we can forget the soul, I'm a OG, ho, so with the weed I roll
Smoke 'til these eyes glow, gold shining, I can't hide
To think they told me that we can't fly, well that's a damn lie
Cause I am that high, so when I spit from the sky
You niggas get baptized, I ain't even holy
But this gun I'm holdin' will leave you holy moly, homie
Tombstone sittin' on old money, yeah I bring a loaded bong rip
Of that bomb shit, nigga forever floatin' manifest
All in my mind then I focus motion eyes on Japan
America owe me land and a motherfuckin' mule
Why would I wanna be a tool, for a nation who
Blame these rap dudes for shootin' up them schools
One of your best Songs definitely
ALMOST TO 1 MILLION!!
WHERE MY INDIGOS AT 2021? 47 SHIT
THEY NEED THIS ON SPOTIFY
I cant believe they did that shit on the track. Gifted. Legends. Flatbush Zombies are the truth. Its an experience
Why and the fuck does this say Flatbush zombies FEAT ERICK ARC ELLIOT?! ERICK ARC ELLIOT IS FLATBUSH ZOMBIES!!!!!!!
because erick dons't usually rap brother
This was their first tape so they didnt know if he would just be their producer or that and one of their main rappers and hes fucking amazing to and people said it also so hes both
Also i think around that the of D.R.U.G.S. Eric was doing his own thing
nah this was when erick wasn't officially a zombie yet, he was just producing for them. later on they put him in the group, that's why in better off dead they don't have (prod. by erick arc elliot) anymore
sleepykyle ... are you dumb?
Still my favorite verse from Erick after all these years
Damn man, when i used to trip so hard reality broke this song always mellowed me the fuck out and brought my mood up 30 levels.
a cada ano ouvido fica melhor
fr 💯💯
I have a feeling that this is gonna be the dopest video yet, when they make one.
hands down one of the best songs of all time
they all go in so hard, meech killed it the best tho
“Am I out my mind, or is my mind
out of I? I can’t lie, shit I impress
myself some-times. 2 Tabs at 9,
Tick-Tock, trip, time. As the chemicals combine with my body and my mind.”
one of my favourite lines in this
HOW IS THIS NOT AT A MILLION 😩
this song should have more likes 😩 straight banger.
Juice killed it
Erick doesn't usually rap in the songs but when he does god damn he fucking kills it.
he does rap ....
Definitely their best album! I love D.R.U.G.S.
+Zachary Zhang Do u know what it stands for
death and resurrection under gods supervision
it's a mixtape not an album
The day this mixtape dropped just remember....I was there and remember i got money.
Yo this “album” or “mixtape” NEEDS to be on apple music PLEASE AND THANK YOU
Samples won’t clear. One of them mentioned it when BetterOffDEAD finally made it to Apple Music.
@@TonyMichaels166 damn i didnt know it was like that, what a bummer. Thanks for the info 👌🏻
Fbz till death. Never stop guys you’re the goats.
"Am I out of mind, or is my mind out of I" damn meech true shit
Takes me back
This will forever be a classic
Never gets old
Still boooooomin it, love these remarkable human beings!
Seems im the only one bumpin this in 2020. Fuck covid!
Erick and Mr.Andy Griff would be the greatest combo for legends
The fact they deserve these sick ass beats.
Best flatbush zombies song hands down
The original sample is "Slow hot wind" by Penny Goodwin.
Lord Lobov you are the real jesus
I like when it's Erick then juice and meech in that order they all give me some type of vibe
Man I miss the days when this came out.....
YES THANKS FOR THE MIXTAPE
“Am I out my mind or is my mind out of I? I can’t lie shit I impress myself sometimes”
i have ti say for the past ten years thats pretty much me every morning lol
idk why people so eric arc doesn't rap ... he raps just as much as darko and juice and he is fucking nasty
da homie EAE has more talent in his left nut than the rest of flatbush combined bruh... he taught juice and meech to rap. dude gettin slept on like futons.
He didn't rap that much on this tape, and he was mostly just the producer. On betteroffdead he was on most of the songs though
Fuck nigga
Jonathan Gonzalez nobody "so" that
not as much as darko.. darko is the king in beastcoast while other heads say Joey is smh..
Just started a pretty difficult art piece....gonna be listening to this whole album the entire process.
All i need in my life is fbz and u.a
flatbush zombies lucky they were authentic cause that’s once in a lifetime kind of fame
This deserves more views !
Yeah, it really does. Its also sad to see how trash music gets 1000 times more views.
