He raised us! Lol. You just keep finding more and more of slugs songs out there. Listening to headshots 7 and then finding out there are headshots 1-6 as well!
Atmosphere showed me that there was a whole underground world of rap that really resonated with me. If it weren't for Slug, I'd never given rap a further chance!
@@losxdescabezados dude, he made me realize i can do my own style and my own content instead of following the rest. his honesty made me realize how it's important to be that
fuck yea, im seeing em in a month or so, so hyped to see them again. been a massive fan ever since they got a spot on the Punk-O-Rama albums back in the day...hoping they still do Bird Sings Why The Caged I Know, its one of my favorites just for the raw energy and absurdity of it all...but also a powerful message
Hell yea, finally got to this one... bro this whole album is fire, and so is the album God Loves Ugly... cant wait for the Eyedea reaction this month.... love the fact you all are diving into this side of hip-hop ( Atmosphere, Aesop Rock, Eyedea or hell even Eyedea & Abilities, great hip-hop duo..
I’m not sure if you know this, but there was never any Eyedea, it was always Eyedea and Abilities, even with Grand’s Sixth Sense. That duo was meant to be, and still the greatest of all time, IMO
I guess it’s semantics, but he was never doing anything solo. The lion's share of his discography is with Abilities, and the rest of his work is face candy, carbon carousel, etc. Please name a solo Micheal Larsen project, because I’m fairly certain that abilities even worked on when in Rome kill the king
Keep diving into the Rhymesayers catalog then move onto Doomtree, Def Jux, and Strange Famous. There is a world of indie hip hop from the early 2000s that has been doing it for a long time. It was banging then, still holds up, and most of them are still doing it.
Slug is playing redrocks, CO this summer... his opening acts are Red Man & METHOD MAN and Del and del is booked as DELTRON 3030... not as Del the Funky Homosapien... that's what he's doing now days.. and this was released 9/23/03...and on tony Hawk underground
fo real! only other label putting out consistently dynamic ARTISTS is Mello Music Group(Alpha Pup Records/Project Blowedians) outta L.A although i'm excited to see what else Area 51, Coast Contra's label, puts out
"so now I keep a close eye on my pets, cause they make most of their moves off instinct and sense. It's eat, sleep, fukk, and self defense. So straight you can set your clock and place bets" My favorite line of the song. Saying he needs to make his choices off of things that make sense to him /as compared to whatever he was doing before keeping an eye on his pets. I believe they're not massive cause they're on their own label and don't have big music company money behind them.
I love watching people who've never heard Atmosphere react, but, Slug is definitely still around, Atmosphere is still delivering. Can't wait to see him with Sage Francis in January
Slug from atmosphere was in a group that made one album and it is worth a listen. DEEP PUDDLE DYNAMICS. Eclectic, thoughtful and strange. There a lot of songs that will make you think about the meaning. Check it out
One of my all time favorite bars, "God bless America but she stole the b from bless." Take the b out and it's godless America. Thou shalt not steal so stealing the b from bless is godless
Shit, I can't believe i heard this song 17 years ago and everything changed for me. I became super into the underground hip hop scene. It was really something great back then, so glad people are still discovering them. Check out Aesop Rock too. his lablel Rhymsayers put out some good stuff.
Also.. should be pointed out that atmosphere still sells out every show and they tour a lot.. Places like red rock he sells out two days in a row when he slides through... Kind of sucks because I gotta pay 90 bucks for a ticket so I waited and the show next month sold out within 5 minutes. So now im trying to get presale for Minneapolis show. But they sell out first ave usually two or three days straight.
Seen atmosphere a few times with evidence and brother Ali, I like lyrics which are intelligent and make you think. Also ant the producer is fire, always picks a good sample
i think "IN THE DAYS OF QUEENS AND KINGS I WAS A JESTER THEY TREAT ME LIKE A GOD OR THEY TREAT ME LIKE A LEPER" , "get real they tell me if only they knew how real this life really gets:" Jesters entertain, the audience and the higher ups (king and queen) so im assuming at that time he was on a label or something, and "they" meaning the higher ups but the audience "get real they tell me" gots me thinking it wasnt a good show and bad things happened not good turn out, so having to find the balance of what he wants to do, please the king and queen, and the audience, idk im drunk i dont watch reaction channels this just popped up and my first intro to atmosphere lol oh i forgot "treat me like a leper" like the disfigured birth defected people they used to shun or kill in the old days because of how they looked
This song made Atmosphere BLOW. Their library before this album is really good, but, for a brief moment they were distributed by Geffin records, who also put out the Punk-o-ramma albums which were always gigantic every single year. This song was on one of the first DVD versions they did with music videos on and it reach a such massivly different and wide audiance than they were used to. The exposure from that was insane.
literally three thousand songs in the atmosphere slug discography... 25 years of work. Legends to lots of us,

Been listening to them and Brother Ali for many many years
Just saw Atmosphere last month. They close with this. Slug says, "This one is called Tony Hawk's Underground 2!"
Dope. Seen them like 5 times and met him once. Great duo 🎶
No wayyy that is sooooo cool! This is the first song I ever heard from them and then the first time I seen them live they opened with it!
I seen him in SF and he said the same thing when this one came on 😂
fuck yea, im seeing em in a month or so, so hyped to see them again. been a massive fan ever since they got a spot on the Punk-O-Rama albums back in the day...hoping they still do Bird Sings Why The Caged I Know, its one of my favorites just for the raw energy and absurdity of it all...but also a powerful message
@@Cvillain626 it’s the bird! It must have been the bird!
Slug and Ant are huge here in the Midwest, always selling out!
They're amazing and timeless
Also some of the best performers you'll ever see, and they truly appreciate everyone who shows up to their shows. Seen them like 8 times by now.

@@damienperry5758 sadistic even made a song "Michael" about him...

I remember seeing this on MTV2 and thinking damn Atmosphere is blowing up!

“Where is he?” Still around, still making music!
Saw him April 2024 live!! He's still a legend.

*everything* from the Rhymesayers label is worth listening to. MF Doom, Brother Ali, Eyedea and Abilities, Grieves… the list is huge.
Came here to write exactly this ❤

@@RavenousCatalyst594 check out Mickey Diamond and New Villain
they need to listen to some POS, although POS got canceled, so I dont if that is gonna happen. Surprised they just did this song a month ago.
God bless you my friend

Shout out to Kevin for requesting all of these! 🙌 U guys should really just do album reviews! 😁 ❤
Gonna be interesting to see their reactions once they get into Felt, Slug and Murs combine perfectly together.
Finally 🤙 this song got Atmosphere a centerfold interview in the Source mag back in the day. That’s when “emo rap” was invented.
Yall need to do *Sunshine* - Atmosphere think it may fit 😊

This is the song that caught my attention and made me want to hear more. Hes top tier for sure.
Tech, slug, chino, sage Francis, pharaoh monch. There is linkage between these writers... ❤

“I was just a ghost tryin to catch some Mrs Pac-man” 😂😂
while not "huge", they have a pretty solid following for 20+ years.

I’ve been listening to Atmosphere since 2003. The reason he’s not so big is because he stayed underground. Never sold out to a label.
When the eyedea and slug freestyle at the wake up show?? RIP Eyedea
❤❤❤❤❤❤yaaaassss
Yo if you guys are late like me Atmosphere just dropped a new video 2 days ago called "Hear Hear" fire
Slugs awesome
Also Slug from atmosphere created a record label, rhymesayers…. Dudes are pretty fucking big.
Slug is a poet
I've hung out with slug a few times back in like 2006-2008 dude is fckin amazing
That's awesome!!
“God bless America, but she stole the B from bless and kept it!” (God less)

I'm surprised you missed this line: "God Bless America, but she stole the B from "Bless" (and kept it)".
yall gotta react to “became”
Banger
Please Check out Became by atmosphere
Became is about his friendship with Eyedea and how the drugs consumed him... and what Eyedea Became, very sad song
old school!
Eyedea - Big Shots needs a react
Kevin pyt these guys on to some overcast 😭😭😭 yall wpuld love the word play in that while album some aggresive slug back in the day

It's crazy how much you talk over the tracks????
If you really want to get deep in slugs mind of story telling... "F*ck you lucy"... "the woman with the tattoo hand's" and "became"
Appreciate you guys reacting to Atmosphere but this is far from their best work. Check out "God Loves Ugly" and "when God Gives You Lemons"... ETC....
Atmosphere has been around since the 90s
And this album dropped in like 2001
You guys are embarrassingly clueless
R
First
Hey boys can we do the reaction to xxxtentacion slipknot ft kinsoul & killstation soon please?
I like you guys but stay in your lane. This is above your generation.
