All positions are numbered,1 thru 9,a 4-6-3 double play means the 2nd baseman fielded the ball, threw it to the shortstop to get the 1st out, who then threw it to 1st base to get the 2nd out.
"I've been all over/ I've seen too much/ I no longer feel the need to rush/" That's the creed of my life right there! Man this album is so underrated and criminally slept on. A modern classic! Although I substantially prefer the album version, the video is still dope in its own right. Man, does he love baseball though. Lol! On his album Vertex, he has like 3 tracks entirely about the subject.
@melancholymistress89 You are so bang on. I tell you, I love Jazz, Classical, Metal, all kinds of fusion music. I also love Shirley Bassey, David Bowie, Scott Walker, Louis Prima, the list of influences I have is just too great to say it all. I have a great appreciation for musicianship and true genuine raw artistry.
@melancholymistress89 Buck 65 is amazing and truly too good for the Canadian music industry. Somehow he made it through a long while ago. With that glamourized karaoke show called American Idol/Canadian Idol, anything outside of sounding like a singing handpuppet, it's a wonder there is an industry at all. I can't stand rap or hiphop, but Buck 65 is off the charts incredible. I'm proud to be a fan.
Good to see Rich show his baseball talent...what if he stayed pro......would he still be known for being a sick Rapper?.....I guess we will never know, unless he wants to go pro again.....Sick Video Buck!
I like this.. he is coming to UK soon.. will see him. HE is original he doesn't sound like noone else.. there are obvious influences without sounding like.. so that's cool..even his meter/ryhmming/pace is like MM/Dre without the annoying voice
@TheFactoryReject Actually, do be even more specific, it is baseball annotation for a specific double-play, fielded by position #4(2nd base), thrown to #6(shortstop, now covering second base) for the first out, and thrown to #3(first base) for the second out.
Loved this song for years. Don't know shit about baseball. I never knew the 463 was a type of double play, and I just assumed it must be the area code for Halifax. Never saw the video either. Just thought it was most probably the area code where Rich grew up. Doh!
I write poems and basically a wide variety of different ways to linguistically express myself, and yet, i cannot fathom how he puts the message across with what seems like utterly meaningless lyrics. And, it's awesome!
@melancholymistress89 that is great to hear. Being a musician myself, I find the mistake artist tend to make is, they believe their own hype that is whispered into their ears. I know for myself that I would love and can't wait to play in europe, or visit and play in Japan in the very near future. You are also right, the art community is thriving, and is amazing here in Canada, but it doesn't get the finding or attention it truly deserves.
@TheFactoryReject Well, the video obviously relates to baseball, and Buck 65 has often said he was a big fan of baseball. Mostly I think it's the line "463, an X, an O an I can't think of a better way to end the day", indicating (in my opinion) that playing a game of baseball where you participate in a double-play is a pretty good way to end a day!
@melancholymistress89 Yes very true. Sometimes the charts of schlock and schmaltz can't hold a true artist from coming through. Good to see Buck 65 has evolved past something as ridiculously cheesy as much music. The music industry started going down mid to late 80's, and today it's in the worst condition ever in the history of music. Metric and Billy Talent are really awesome and authentic.
@diamonddust22 I think that he is the perfect example of how amazing the Canadian music industry truly is, beyond all of the mainstream stuff that gets shipped out.
Bah, I have the CD, never saw the video. The version of this song on the CD is way different though. Not sure which version I like better, but I'am kinda upset that I don't have both on my ipod. His song, "Drawing Curtains" is my favorite song of his. Absolutely brilliant.
@diamonddust22 Everyone is affected differently by the music they hear. Even those that gobble up the formulaic trash will have some favourite band or song that speaks to them on a unique level. I think for many people, especially younger people, it's more about realizing that there is more to music (and even art in general) than what they are bombarded with every day.
i agree i like the slower version - it has more of that eerie surreal feel that buck 65 (to me) is known for - also i never realized how awkward Richard Terfry can be :) he is just silly in this - the person that directed this video could have made him look a lot better i think - but none the less, buck 65 will remain forever prolific peace xxSabrexx
@diamonddust22 I actually think that there is a lot more to the Canadian music industry than you think. I don't think that he is "too good for" the Canadian music industry, he's just a very good example of how good some of our musicians are. I have heard a lot of VERY good Canadian music on the radio, and occasionally on TV. I will admit that a lot of it is bubblegum tripe, but we can also be proud of a lot of AMAZING (if relatively unknown outside of Canada) artists.
yo cool videeo, but the album cut is far doper... do like tha ruff vox though! neway, VERTEX & SQUARE - both albums still blow my mind! Rich you hit on something universal there... gotta listen to an entire Buck65 record at once to really get it. preferably alone in yr car or on headphones! as a matter-of-fact - WORD!!!
@melancholymistress89 You are so bang on, and I really respect your words. This new generation of fast food nonsense like the Pee Diddly's are just a disgrace to the face of what music truly is. I can't wait to get my chance to bring that to Canada in the very near future.
I just can't understand how ANYONE could enjoy listening to this. A few of my friends are into buck 65 but I just don't get it, it sounds like well I don't know what it sounds like. I'm just suprised that people are buying his records instead of laughing at him.
@AnonTuck It's funny you say that AnonTuck.... I usually don't post either....but I have to say something...I'm a musician and I'm very critical of music. Of course, I don't care for rap because most is crap, especially the mainstream stuff that sells to a naive public that doesn't know the difference between good and bad music. I have to say though, this is good. As a song writer who has recorded 3 albums of his own original music, this guy is very good with his words and music.
@melancholymistress89 That is also true. I mean, what is "making it?" I mean for me, music is something that I can't really describe how it fulfils me. It actually fulfils me on many different levels, in many different ways.
it could also be a triple play. the second baseman gets the hitter out off the catch, the shortstop catches the runner at second and the first baseman takes out the runner on first
@diamonddust22 Well, that just means that as a fan of good music you have to keep your ears open, sometimes go digging a bit and not disregard music because of artist, genre or location. You never know when you will find another diamond in the rough.
@diamonddust22 So many artists only think about the money, though. They don't care about quality or content, they just want to sell. But those are the same artists that are around for a blink of an eye, and then chucked out for the newest bubblegum flavor. True art lasts forever.
@diamonddust22 It may not be given as much respect as it deserves in the mainstream (not just Canadian music, but books, movies and ESPECIALLY comics. You almost cannot find Canadian comics even in Canadian stores), but it's is beyond 'nothingness'. The art community is thriving, and many people find it each year (even from outside of Canada). Not everyone 'eats up' the tripe that is force fed to us.
@diamonddust22 Sometimes the charts seem to let some good ones through. I mean, Buck 65 used to be on Much Music and the radio all the time. And some of Metric's stuff is still pretty good. Same with Billy Talent. As for rap, I am a bit more hard pressed to think of some gems that are actually rap and not some mesh of genres. Then again, most of the 'rap' that we seem to get up here is American. Maybe that's saying something?
thanx for the answer, was always wandering and if you can answer that too: an x an o and i can t find a better way too end the day.. but anyway thx 463
@diamonddust22 I honestly think that many of the issues associated with our arts is a longstanding misconception, even amongst artists themselves, that to 'make it' with anything you have to be popular in the US and/or overseas. This is incredibly discouraging for many artists because, despite the similarities between our culture and that of the US we are a very unique country. What Canadian's may like may not make the grade down there.
HAHA nice answer, cant really say i understood what the other guy was trying to argue about or what point he was trying to make. I had to save a little bit of my knowledge by abruptly listening to some Sage...
@melancholymistress89 great words, very true. They don't make artists like Tom Waits anymore. You can pretty much count on rap and hiphop to be a write off. There is no so called artist I've heard that is any good with being unique at all. And today's so called R & B, has little or nothing to do at all with rhythm or Blues. All we can do is count on the real indie artists and indie labels to support true art, and not this Sonic Kitsch that is running rampant everywhere.
i was just trying to figure out what it meant or if it was totally abstract and then it hit me, i was trying to figure out what positions that would be. 2, 3, 1. So it could be a triple play. I also think it probably means something else though
@diamonddust22 So artists change, move and struggle to appease the American masses rather than exploring the almost untapped resource that is the VAST Canadian fan base. We are the second largest country in the world. We should act like it!
I'm a hardcore hip hop head and I listen to alot of underground stuff. Buck is on the offbeat side of the spectrum. He'd dope and he likes to push the envelope but sometimes it just doesnt work. Seen him in concert and he's great live. But yeah, this song is kinda wack.
yea i dont know why i said triple play, it would typically be double play. it was 4 months ago though. it took me a good minute to figure out why i said 231 lol, the song is 463. then it dawned- 2nd base, 3rd, 1rst. but now that i think about it it could easily be a triple play also. so i was ok. but what i really was thinking of (4 months back) was the symbolic content
Part of why I enjoy Buck so much -is- his voice. It's such a distinct quality, which so many interesting textures and layers.
Classic song here. Buck 65 is not human. Bike for Three! is too bad ass.
an awesome artist. he comes up qwith so much creative songs. too bad more people aren't into him. good song
Buck 65 - was awesome - grew up listen to this stuff - Old Anticon and others
All positions are numbered,1 thru 9,a 4-6-3 double play means the 2nd baseman fielded the ball, threw it to the shortstop to get the 1st out, who then threw it to 1st base to get the 2nd out.
Thanks for the enlightenment, sir!

Briliant summation of childhood in the first verse. This guys a true poet with his lyrics.

Oh I love his Ministry reference,"magazines that have you believe that Everyday is Halloween"
Good to see Rich show his baseball talent...what if he stayed pro......would he still be known for being a sick Rapper?.....I guess we will never know, unless he wants to go pro again.....Sick Video Buck!
I like this.. he is coming to UK soon.. will see him. HE is original he doesn't sound like noone else.. there are obvious influences without sounding like.. so that's cool..even his meter/ryhmming/pace is like MM/Dre without the annoying voice
he was apart of anticon. check out "music for the advancement of hiphop" also the canada project.

recommendations for some worthwhile American hip-hop groups/labels...Rhymesayers & Doomtree. That is all you need.
brings back good memories of when i was a kid
ill be the first to say, buck's an icon.
"the problem with today is they got an answer for everything" - so true
Buck is the man...He is different yes but art is different thats why its art...-hits the bong-
Lighten up lol.
@TheFactoryReject Well, the video obviously relates to baseball, and Buck 65 has often said he was a big fan of baseball.

Still a great tune, love this man's rap, is this East Coast origins?
Dude's from rural Canada
@melancholymistress89 Yes very true. Sometimes the charts of schlock and schmaltz can't hold a true artist from coming through. Good to see Buck 65 has evolved past something as ridiculously cheesy as much music.

fuckin instant classic. thanks for another buck 65!! woot woot
whats not to get? He`s is a total legend!!!
"Most people agree Nas is the best rapper alive, or pretty close enough, because of his lyrics."
A strikingly logical argument.
Color me persuaded.
this is also a guitar chord progression, not just baseball lingo. the chorus guitar parts are based on 463 as well..
my, he's frekkin awesome!
@diamonddust22 I think that he is the perfect example of how amazing the Canadian music industry truly is, beyond all of the mainstream stuff that gets shipped out.

Why are there so few Buck 65 songs on youtube? I WANT MORE DAMNIT!
BEST SONG EVER
yo cool videeo, but the album cut is far doper... do like tha ruff vox though!
neway, VERTEX & SQUARE - both albums still blow my mind! Rich you hit on something universal there... gotta listen to an entire Buck65 record at once to really get it. preferably alone in yr car or on headphones!
as a matter-of-fact - WORD!!!
BUck 65 for ever !!!
this song bring back good memories of shit waterfalls and shit floods dude. sooo heavy i need my shit water wings. rock on!! 463

@b270hell if its the same one im thinking its called "big rig"..its a documentery about long haul truckers in the u.s.a.
@melancholymistress89 That is also true. I mean, what is "making it?" I mean for me, music is something that I can't really describe how it fulfils me. It actually fulfils me on many different levels, in many different ways.
"463" is the scorekeeping for a double play in baseball that goes from the second baseman to the shortstop to the first baseman.
it could also be a triple play. the second baseman gets the hitter out off the catch, the shortstop catches the runner at second and the first baseman takes out the runner on first
@diamonddust22 Well, that just means that as a fan of good music you have to keep your ears open, sometimes go digging a bit and not disregard music because of artist, genre or location. You never know when you will find another diamond in the rough.
when it comes to rockin somethin fierce... mmmmm do i

i like this video
@NeverTrust82
The song's about his baseball career and his injury that kept him from going pro, how could you hate the video?
I finally get it..He's playing with himself
@diamonddust22 Sometimes the charts seem to let some good ones through. I mean, Buck 65 used to be on Much Music and the radio all the time. And some of Metric's stuff is still pretty good. Same with Billy Talent. As for rap, I am a bit more hard pressed to think of some gems that are actually rap and not some mesh of genres. Then again, most of the 'rap' that we seem to get up here is American. Maybe that's saying something?
and 100 percent great.
he's a ¤#"%¤# genious, love the man!
love it
thanx for the answer, was always wandering and if you can answer that too: an x an o and i can t find a better way too end the day.. but anyway thx 463
hey this sounds like kyuss or maybe more led zeppelin? amazing breadth of talent
nvm i found it sick puppies-you're going down

HAHA nice answer, cant really say i understood what the other guy was trying to argue about or what point he was trying to make. I had to save a little bit of my knowledge by abruptly listening to some Sage...
cant u plz put this one up but with HQ? = )
Yeah, same here. Does anyone remember the name of the show it was on? I've been googling it, but to no avail so far.
Is the line about father Bob showing him his "train set" a reference to molestation?
@melancholymistress89 great words, very true. They don't make artists like Tom Waits anymore. You can pretty much count on rap and hiphop to be a write off. There is no so called artist I've heard that is any good with being unique at all. And today's so called R & B, has little or nothing to do at all with rhythm or Blues.

listen to the lyrics. He's a poet.
i agree, i love harpsichord!
this song seems muted, where are the plucked strings in the beginning? I must have a different version.
How come the other 463 song sounds different?
I love Buck but I have to ask what is the significance of 463?
nothing its just awsomeness because its Buck 65
@wendighoul I don't you know how that corelates into the meaning of the song?
I like the beat
2:44 what metal song does that riff remind yall of
Ozzy
oo different version i like it
dnt know where to get it tho
simplemente cojonudo. different version but i like it anyway
@TheFactoryReject it is the positions in baseball.
I dont know man, if any one could do that, it would probably be Wu-Tang
Whats that sample at 2:30 almost sounds like a Sabbath riff.
I want to buy this album but all i have is a buck sixty five
This vid makes me :D!
240p :\ why isn't there at least a 480p somewhere? i love this song (especially this mix of it) but 240p really takes something away from this.
💖🙏 kiddo
i was just trying to figure out what it meant or if it was totally abstract and then it hit me, i was trying to figure out what positions that would be. 2, 3, 1. So it could be a triple play.
I also think it probably means something else though
Weird how he would release the remix as the video for the song.
This shit is tight
Love this song so much I did it in sign language. Check it out.
can t put the finger on it, but remind me a lot of stuff for sure..good loud heavy riff
@diamonddust22 So artists change, move and struggle to appease the American masses rather than exploring the almost untapped resource that is the VAST Canadian fan base. We are the second largest country in the world. We should act like it!
listen to the album version..it rocks too!! Liked it better than this in my opinion.
@rockandrolleracdc This is a remixed version, yeah.
I'm a hardcore hip hop head and I listen to alot of underground stuff. Buck is on the offbeat side of the spectrum. He'd dope and he likes to push the envelope but sometimes it just doesnt work. Seen him in concert and he's great live. But yeah, this song is kinda wack.
They?
Who's they?
It him.
Buck 65.
Fanny.
I just pooped my pants!
@wendighoul Also note he had a chance to play in the the pros but chose to do music instead
yea i dont know why i said triple play, it would typically be double play. it was 4 months ago though. it took me a good minute to figure out why i said 231 lol, the song is 463. then it dawned- 2nd base, 3rd, 1rst.
but now that i think about it it could easily be a triple play also. so i was ok.
but what i really was thinking of (4 months back) was the symbolic content
what does 463 stand for exactly?
SCOTIA REPPIN!
