Lucy ford taught me about women and then life gives you lemons taught me I don’t know shit except for that being a good person is harder than relationship with a woman but worth trying. Only ARTIST can start with a nitch(overcast) but keep it maturing as we do as we get older! I love when he says when We started it!
For sure, Rhymesayers, F to I to X, fake four, Fill in the breaks. They all had there angry music, but taught me some of the only truths worth keeping.
@@LordLucario99 not sure who to give as an example but it would be someone trying to replicate the style they had when they were younger when it doesn't fit who they are now
when I was a baby, my dad would play atmosphere in his car. he's been listening since middle school. I'm 16 now and these guys are my favorite hip hop group of all time
Kevin hit the nail on the head when he said, "You really started and cultivated a scene." I grew up despising rap. I used to say, "Rap is crap without the 'C'." One day in college I was on youtube and came across 'Trying To Find A Balance' and that started my love for rap. I was ignorant towards the fact that there were rappers that could speak to me on an intelligent level and that lead me down a path towards Blue Scholars, Brother Ali, Living Legends, Sage Francis and many more brilliant 'real' artists.
I lived just outside of Minneapolis for a year in 2000 and my mindset about hip hop was completely changed. The stuff that was coming out at that time really shaped the future for me and music.
I met slug in Melbourne Australia 2008, I will never forget the feeling. A real guy, no bs... There was banter, and you could tell he loves what he does and that it isn't about the money. So genuine.
God loves ugly! Atmosphere have been a solid duo for decades now. Their music, to me, is timeless and feels as if Slug is speaking directly to his fans.
Love when slug say When WE started it! Always gets interviewed like he is the reason, But Always responds with WE! Did this and WE did that and always makes a point of a team effort!!! Take notes a lot of people won’t acknowledge others when the spot light on them, but always saysWE!!!
KEXP puts together some of the best quality live studio recordings I've ever heard. I love how they've gone out and gotten such a diverse catalogue of artists and bands out to the consumers to appreciate.
When an artist transcends a "genre" or a box to fit in they become their own category even if not specified by the actual artist. No labels from me, just a thank you 🙏
I feel as the interview went on slug poured out his emotions. That's why I can always relate. Happymess is my jam, love this! I'm more an old school atmosphere kind of girl, but I'll forever support your art.
about 15 yrs ago I had a short but potent Atmosphere Addiction. Seeing this after all those years was a complete breath of fresh air. Wonderful nostalgia with new music! Just wonderful. thanks for making this available to watch.
the conversation bout 12 mins in. is simply beautiful, i hope these three guys know what type of impact they have had on people like myself. i get between the online hate, sheeettalking comments and just overall hate its hard to feel that love. little do these guys know their a road map for indivuals like myself. nothing but love for this session THANK YOU!!!
Whats nice about Rhymesayers artist is the fans have seemed to mature with the artist and music when i was a teen and oone chatroom were newer it was alot of haye and shit talking but now its more love and appreciation for what they have done and continue to do
I have been a fan of atmosphere for a long ass time. I just seen these guys in duluth mn the other night and I swear the shows get better and better. Keep it up you guys! 612 all day
From the southside mpls... in 97 had that Overcast 💿 scattered across my carpet in that first apartment, a block from Powderood Park ...💿 mixed in wrong cases, Prob in Midnight Marauders case and the Tribe on its own quest stolen the night b4 by somebody at my party, no longer to be bumpin in that 3 disc changer Aiwa stereo...anyway, I am back.! It is 2017 and ( why the F am I in Birmingham?) I wanted to thank Ant especially...wow, his beats! A true artist and like no other, and thank Slug for speaking with me those 🔟 long years in Oregon...and THANK YOU Seatle for radio stations like this one...it gives me hope, simply you give a gift as important as hope to souls like mine. Music means something to you!
Just saw Atmosphere @ Cali Roots 2018. KILLED IT! First time I saw them live and they could not have done any better. Huge fan through the days but that concert has renewed my love for the music and message. Thought I saw you Yesterday! Keep it up as always!
Building a million memories just to forget her… hurts. But so real. I seem to have been living life through the albums as they are released. Cult fr. Name one genius that ain’t crazy. Uhh, join the fist.
The difference with this fella is that he is talkin about important things in his songs, ain’t talkin bout drugs, chicks and cars, ain’t that cliche rapper
This dude has gotten me through some really hard times. Such an underrated legend!
Hope things are better dude 👊

Tell me about it Atmosphere made it cool to aspire to be decent person
Same to bothofya

Atmosphere is hip-hop maturing in the right way
