I always tear up at this line: “When Robert died I was in a bookstore that wasn’t born yet, and all around me spun the narratives of other fallen heroes. Dust, dust, dust.” It’s a really beautiful way to view death.
Dude, one of your lines just spoke completely true. "Before I was a vegetarian, I should have fished more". I never thought someone else felt that way. So true. Being a vegetarian myself, growing up, I now wish in a way I wasn't just so I could fish. I fantasize about leaving everything for a brief moment and being totally a lone on a summers day by the river, fishing. Something about it seems so rugged and relaxing. I guess I'll just have to fish with a net and then let them go after haha. This a great song man. I found out about you a few months ago, but recently came back to listen to your other songs and I love them. Idk if you'll ever read this, but thank you. You speak so many things that I thought were only things I thought. I don't feel so alone.
thanks god, fate, and intuition. today i found this video and knowing this kind of music is exist. i never interested with hip hop before. milo break my rule.

I think if you have a qt gf and you're chilling together the sun and night air can also be beautiful, probably. But still, I agree. When you' re alone, you pay more attention to such things.
I was listening to this for the first time, and at first I was like "Oh, hey, this guy is pretty good, yeah." So I listened to the whole song, and the only thing I could say afterwards was ".....Shit"
Death Grips are good. Jazz-hop is a little more accessible, especially if you like indie. Nujabes, Nomak, Blazo, and Breezewax are all good places to start off.
The two words I stole from an unknown source. An online gamer. But before I knew what it meant and as secret as the vault I stole it from, I loved it as soon as I saw it
Yeah, that's pretty nice with the two meanings intertwining to make an interesting concept: pure hatred, soaked in. That's like something I'd expect El-P to come up with. Nice.
Oh and Kristoff Krane, Sadistik, etc. I mean, that's a pretty good foundation for that so just search around in that - there's lots of really good music out there in every genre.
WHY? (Yes, that is the band's name) and pretty much anything by and/or related to them. Astronautalis, some Atmosphere, Penny, Ceschi, Sole, B. Dolan, Sage Francis, Illogic, you may like Aesop Rock but he's a bit less peaceful than this generally (and a lot more rap-influenced), The Coup (listen to Violet first), Themselves/Dose One. As far as production goes, stuff like Fat Jon, Nujabes, Odd Nosdam.

Almost 11 years listening to this. Thanks Milo. From 7th grade to career.
I play this in honor of my daughter..... 10-29-18 💕 08-02-19 RIP baby girl 👼I really feel milo on this one...
Sorry to hear that...my condolences are with you.
sending you love
Sorry for your loss. Hope one day you can heal
She lives on
RIP, and happy belated birthday to her 💚
I looked into God's eyes, and they were gray--
Like my favorite woolen sweater, thrice worn and thrifted
I guess at heart, I'm a materialist...
It's crazy to see his evolution
This isn't hip-hop. This is poetry. Fucking amazing.
Dude, one of your lines just spoke completely true.

***** :)
+nickbagelboy He speaks alot. Does my articulating for me. I feel it man.
lol just do it
That poem in the beginning was really somber but somewhat tranquil. This song and the whole album have a real power behind them.
a young philosopher speaking his mind and sharing his gift with us, a true artisan
This is absolutely beautiful, and a breath of fresh air in shitty times. Much love Milo
ah yes, the first milo song that made me fall in love with him that i always come back to
I was looking for something different. So much rap sounds the same, but this is unique in the best way possible. Thank you, Milo.
milo makes me better
thanks god, fate, and intuition. today i found this video and knowing this kind of music is exist. i never interested with hip hop before. milo break my rule.
nice
In the middle of a bad dream I ask whoever is filming not to stop
I don't know what a nightmare is called when I am napping during the day
Or if I am awake
But I'm guessing it's really all the same
I enter this hole of self-pity
Which is really housing another hole
Of self loathing
Which reveals itself as a sea
Of utter contempt and I
Am now floating
The closest I came to knowing God was being caught in a rowing shell on the Fox River in the middle of a wicked storm
I looked into God's eyes, and they were gray--
Like my favorite woolen sweater, thrice worn and thrifted
I guess at heart, I'm a materialist
People often ask me what it's like to fly the coop
Budding ornithologists are weary of tired analogies
I want to be a writer, if given the chance I would write a novel for every pretty girl that let me kiss her
And another for the all-seeing eye of her big sister
Rain drops smooched my hair soft
Your kisses were distinct like welts from an airsoft
I never wore a tie that didn't come from the thrift store
Before I was a vegetarian I should've fished more
I wonder if the pizza in heaven tastes better than here
My spidey-sense tingles whenever Eddie Vedder is near
I've never done anything impressive because being remembered as a headline would be delineating
I've never really wanted to be remembered
When Robert died I was in a bookstore that wasn't born yet
And all around me spun the narratives of other fallen heroes
Dust! Dust! Dust!
Dust on the tomes of the stories of yesterday;
Dust on the tombs of the heroes of today
Dust
Dust
Dust
I miss you
Do you like your raps sung by a prettier gent
Who fornicates copiously with a prosthetic wench?
I'll fade into oblivion when my prophecy's spent
In a megaplex guessing where my office copies were lent
Now I, never was ever the best break dancer
And you'll never hear my name on your CB police scanner
But I can hoist my Braveheart-esque banner to the moon
And create much havoc in a small-town, college kid's room
Hip hop's grand prize is a following of nasty MILFs
Who understitched their lonely son's Eagle Scout quilts
Which explains why the lad is so passive-aggressive
And hastily labeled my press kit massively unimpressive
*One breath*
I was farmed for my similarity to a Duracell battery
And quickly abandoned at a calculator factory
I'm no Wizard of Waverly
But I wear second hand goods like they were made for me
I went to school to become a philosopher
But dropped out to be a sober Kid Cudi imposter
With a spoon that's porous, I lounge in Siberia
Dining on borscht with Boris
My mind has the drive of an old FORD Taurus
Unfortunately my mind has no roads: it's just a forest
Rap's Kurt Vonnegut, Blurb Fontset
For you I would cross the infinite sea of midpoints
And eat french fries at your favorite cheeseburger joint
When we're old, please call me if you crack your diskjoint
I might be busy keeping these rhymes on point
Catch me rapping in your favorite restaurant's senior citizen line
Dropping wizened rhymes
About the fall of Byzantine
I said catch me rapping in your favorite restaurant's senior citizen line
Dropping wizened rhymes
About the fall of Byzantine
I'm an old man eating Zatarain's with cataracts
Worrying about matching my afghans with my stocking caps
A trip to the restroom can last me a couple hours
I remember when folks thought MCs had divine powers
Pretending we were Word Wizards and Conjurers;
TV told us we were murderers on the lam from their officers
In many ways I'm this culture's premiere historian
I told a young man at the bus stop and he said I was borin' him
Now I'm in the arts and crafts room at this old nursing home
Cutting out hearts from the same cardboard I danced upon
I couldn't possibly put to words how depressed I am
Every week I look forward to hearing the Funkmaster's Jam
I made some notes for what else I could blab out
The other night I told my bed nurse I was swagged out
She put me in my place fast, responding
Why can't you wipe your own ass?
Damn
My personal favorite of the album, thanks for uploading this stuff so that more people can experience what hip hop's really about.
I always look forward to listening to the song on my way from work .....you could feel the peace.miloooooooo
Excellent reference to Zenos paradox. "I would cross an infinite line of midpoints."
Milo will never not be a legend
I miss my brother too.
A damn masterpiece.
so simple yet amazing
Milo is going to be well known in no time.
10 years later and he's now known to me. He's not mainstream but he's now in my top 5's list
Love you modest milo
MadamLolz I hope you’re still around
@@Bearcutio here I am. Sending light to wherever you are
Im still here and im feeling a lot.
@@MadamLolz 1 month later, wherever you are i hope you feel good today.
This is your best song ....
This right here is hip-hop please let this spread!
I went to school to become a Philosopher, but dropped out to be a sober Kid Cudi imposter.
Milo, the best!! :'D
Amen bro, this is real art.
that was beautiful
A breath of fresh air good to hear
oh rory...
wow....this is amazing
great use of gold pandas lonely owl
Wow! this is so cool this is crazzzyyy!!1 keep up the cool work dudette!!
murray
real honest expression = good music
"Before I was a vegetarian I should have fished more"
The people who don't like this, just don't understand it.
I think if you have a qt gf and you're chilling together the sun and night air can also be beautiful, probably. But still, I agree. When you' re alone, you pay more attention to such things.
This is Amazing...
2019
If only i could remember the name of my favourite restaurant
That was so good.
A friend just showed me this guy, so far this cat is bees knees!
Me matas, me dueles, me matas...
Thank you Milo. sincerely xx
This song hits me hard.
brilliant.
beat poetry ♡
11/01/2011
damn
WOW, really, really good!
I was listening to this for the first time, and at first I was like "Oh, hey, this guy is pretty good, yeah."
So I listened to the whole song, and the only thing I could say afterwards was ".....Shit"
2017 anyone?
kevcrews1990 2018?
2018
October 30th 2018 my duuude
this song will never be irrelevant... 11/29/18
2018 December 12 my dude
beautiful
dude listen to eyedea over all things, eyedea will change your life for good, EYEDEA
Lovely!
dust dust dust
Gold Panda brought me here.
wow...... awesome
Special
GODDAMN!
i know this is besides the point of his album, but I can't find information anywhere, how did Rob die?
he drowned, not sure how
Jesus that's fucked, that does however explain a lot of lyrics
drowned in a pool. People dont know how or why he did.
@@pinecrustjuise yeah especially in 'milo takes baths'
I guess stylistically would be Atmosphere, Illogic, Busdriver, Aesop Rock, Billy Woods, El-P. just to name a few
Death Grips are good. Jazz-hop is a little more accessible, especially if you like indie. Nujabes, Nomak, Blazo, and Breezewax are all good places to start off.
it's not coltrane, although it is modally similar. it's lonely owl by gold panda, a london based producer
So happy I found the backing track to this. But does anybody know the backing track to Thief of Always? Please and thank you!
shadows have shadows, perfect medicine (both by EyeDea) kneecaps, brian wilson (both by D-Sisive)
budding ornithologists are weary of tired analogies
odidium blues,
you should hear this too.
haha odidium blues.. dude thats awesome
did i tell u what my name really means?
no, please do!
Odium is pure hatred for something. Imbue is to soak like ink to paper
The two words I stole from an unknown source. An online gamer. But before I knew what it meant and as secret as the vault I stole it from, I loved it as soon as I saw it
Yeah, that's pretty nice with the two meanings intertwining to make an interesting concept: pure hatred, soaked in. That's like something I'd expect El-P to come up with. Nice.
Oh and Kristoff Krane, Sadistik, etc. I mean, that's a pretty good foundation for that so just search around in that - there's lots of really good music out there in every genre.
This is tight as fuck.
Thank you SierraSage.
Agreed.
I'm really into metal and indie usually but I thought this was excellent. Definitely looking into more hip hop like this. any suggestions?
Rap's about to metamorphasize!
WHY? (Yes, that is the band's name) and pretty much anything by and/or related to them. Astronautalis, some Atmosphere, Penny, Ceschi, Sole, B. Dolan, Sage Francis, Illogic, you may like Aesop Rock but he's a bit less peaceful than this generally (and a lot more rap-influenced), The Coup (listen to Violet first), Themselves/Dose One. As far as production goes, stuff like Fat Jon, Nujabes, Odd Nosdam.
eminem wishes he could write like this
different backgrounds, different topics, different rappers. I personally prefer milo.
I have to agree that there is more depth to Milo's lyrcis but why would Eminem want to write lyrics that make him less money than usual :P
@@total1ty that shouldn't be the point
@@liam-c-0 Tell that to his bank account :p
People depend on him you know, it isnt about himself anymore
Open Mike Eagle , you should definitely check him out.
We aren't alive.
Savyon VerMilion check out eyedea and abilities:) start with their first album "first born" and go from there :) youll like it.
Thanks Jerry
good shit
Where does the dust collect itself?
"I wear second-hand clothes like they were made for me."
Way better than Sage thats all I got to say.
An absolute pure genius.
aspireformorerecords iiii
@PazToTheMan No, @plumsrules support him and buy his mixtape from his bandcamp
wow
reminds me of yoni wolf
woah
Can anyone tell me were i can find this guy's downloads on the internet ?
forgot to mention Kendrick Lamar, and Ab-Soul
What's the sample? sounds like something for pokemon.
Gold Panda - Lonely Owl
or kid cudi if you want someone more known of other then that immortal technique or kendrick lamar would all be good starts also
Me: the song
Nice
Is that Bill Murray in top left or is Bill O'Reilly.
You folks might enjoy Serengeti..
yeah from a video game i think
sounds like buck65 once he starts rapping.
Yes. Cool as fuck.
