"I still kick it with angels, the difference is instead of the bar I'm at my kitchen table", this line is an example for why Atmosphere is one of my top favorite artists.
I'm going to speak on everyone's behalf. Atmosphere is loved. This is more than just music. These songs are our poetry to life. The beats are the sound of everything around us. Together, its our motivation to keep us going forward. Sean and Ant, props for what you are doing for us.
People say that rap is dead but they aren't listening to the right stuff, this stuff gets to your head, makes you feel something. Pitty how some people don't know what good music is,
@ this song may be garbage to u but this song has garnered almost 4 million views and 22k likes for a reason. U are telling us this song is garbage as if it's a fact. That's just ur opinion. How did u become so dumb?
*snap* Great point Kev, I was thinking on not that but just how amazing and consistent Ant is. He like Slug is always evolving they're art, most good musicians I enjoy do this. But Ant and Slug in my opinion have never in between to different sounds if you know what I mean. Jus seen em about two weeks ago in pittsburgh and like every album tour they do they translate that ever changing sound beautifly.
Still one of my favourite tracks of all time 👌 “If I had a time machine, I’d use it like a vacuum and try to clean” one of my favourite lines of all time...
The whole album is fantastic. This video fits this song so well. So glad to be growing old with Atmosphere blaring from the speakers. The beats from this album are out of this world. So many treasures, relics of previous albums to be found through out.
My buddy showed this to going to work one night, and told me was sorry we quit talking but the drugs got him and he tried overdosing. We still homies to this day, but he's in Minnesota and I'm in Texas, he's got a family, and now at 31 im battling sobriety worse then ever.
Anybody that doesn't like this because of the "pauses" or the "spacing" needs to stop listening to Slug. Any real Slug fan knows that most of his songs are about the lyrics and his message. His flow was phenomenal not to mention his lyrics.. This is passion, this is real Hip-Hop. Edit: Who am i to say what people need to do/listen to? I just hope most of us can understand & appreciate this song on a higher level. One Love.
+Peter Camacho I agree. He already proved that he had flow on his earlier albums like Overcast!. His newer albums are about the lyrics and the story he tells. If you're listening to rap just for the flow and the beat, or the bass and the movement if you will (:D), you aren't listening to it for the right reasons.
People complaining about the flow and pauses but I don't think rap is about fitting as many words as you can into every every measure. I got a really chilled, lax feeling about this one, really effortless stuff. And as a photographer I appreciate the metaphors about stealing the moments. Great shit slug.
nobody's saying he had to bust some tech n9ne shit, but he couldve flown to the beat much more poetic. But thats just not how atmosphere raps all the time. Not since his first album
When I first Bought the album I was sceptic about what i heard. But in the full context- music, atmosphere, message, story and such- it really is Atmosphere @ its best.
+Ashlee Lasher this^^ slug is like my therapist lol, songs to contemplate life, songs for when your happy, songs for when you're depressed, songs when you just wanna bump, songs for when you're in love, or for when your broken etc .. every day for 15 yrs atmosphere has been a part of my life.
+J Haze He's been my favourite for years, although I think Eyedea and Dessa (if she counts as an MC? I'm not sure how you'd class her...) are starting to really make a mark on me.
This album has been in my car stereo for days! Love it. Love the little references to other Atmosphere tracks. Hope they keep making music for years to come!!!
I'm a bit new to Atmosphere. I didn't know they were releasing a new album when I first started listening to them a couple days ago. Their earlier music is perfect. Such good songs with good topics and themes and just perfect beats to go along with it. I've listened through their whole discography and literally spazzed out when I found out today that they had released a new album. I bought the album immediately on iTunes and I'm so happy I did. It's really, really good. Artists like these two are rare nowadays, and I'm happy I found their music.
we used to watch free atmosphere shows in Madison Wisconsin with Eyedea and Abilities.. most listeners werent born yet. its fresh to see them grow as humans, artists, and REAL hip hop representatives. sad to say they dont make them like this much these days. keep on grinding the career out. and thank you for the memories...signed, the midwest.
I connect with everything Slug has written on more than a spiritual level, to even call the connection that would be insulting, his music touches my soul, the day i get to meet him, is the day i will cry, i have so much stuff to ask and not enough time to ask it, someday... Come to Michigan man..
Whos bumpin this now ? Im bumpin it every day !!! People talkin about the beat , what abiut the lyrics.. both combined is a masterpiece for me 👍❤️. Much love to slug and ant.
where do i go from here? what other music is going to put me in this mood? what other song? ... something that makes you think and feel in that way.... that i really dont know how to describe...
+Thijs Kerssies Creating your own path means that you’re not following in the footsteps of anyone. Not replicating any other actions or movements means that you’re more of a individual, more original in your life’s path. By attaching his feet to this path, he’s making sure that he’s following through on the work he’s done to create his own direction in life.
And if i had a time machine, I'd probably use it like a vacuum and try to clean. Ugh this line hits me like a punch to the gut every fucking time. His ability to pack so much power in a single sentence without being pretentious is what makes him so amazing to me. It's just the raw honesty.
you gotta think when it comes to alot of slugs lyrics. lots of hidden meanings in them. so before you say his lyrics suck listen to it again and think. hes a lyrical mastermid
Ant really shines on this track. He's still got it. I believe Slug does too, but it might not have shown quite as much on this one. Great song though, and a great album. Glad Atmosphere's still keepin' on.
You know what, nevermind. I've listened more and really pondered the lyrics, and, though it's not like the flow is phenomenal, Slug's lyrics are fucking dope, as always. Keep it up.
The cinematography of this music video compliments the quality craftsmanship of Slug's lyrics & Ant's rhythm perfectly ... Atmosphere's albums always feel like a gift. Simply executed conscious hip-hop with conceptual depth & intelligent thought never sounded so good ... never stop feeding your passion gentlemen!
Just ignore the peeps that say they dont like the lyrics, let them listen to kanye or lil wayne. They dont know what real hip hop is. Im so glad im listening to atmosphere for years now they are so good. To me the last real hip hop left..
Ants' Production is freaking amazing! Never lets me down. Yes that is me with Ant in my pic. That is when I told Ant that His music is like "An island of relief in an ocean of diarrhea." And I mean it. With all the other shit that is out there on the radio, it is so great to hear thoughtful composition. HEY ANT! If you see this I want to hang out at the next Sound Set.
Even if it doesn't make sense to you, someone else can find a hidden meaning. This is why I have always loved atmosphere. They paint a story but you can always find meanings of your own.
I've been listening to you for years brutha, never gets old... Much love Atmosphere A.KA.Slug god bless you and the Fam.. Thanks for everthing you've done for music and all of us💯
I've never seen Atmosphere in concert. I also didn't realize the new album was out yet. I have two tickets to see him on June 8th (my birthday) in Boston. Don't even know who I'm bringing yet but I don't care because I'm so excited. I'll go alone if I have to and it will still be the best birthday gift ever.
Surprisingly fantastic live. Awesome relaxed sort of wander between tracks. I saw them alone. I just chilled with this big ass smile and smoked blunts for 2 hours. It was great
Been an Atmoshphere fan for a long time now. Atmosphere has undergone a lot of changes to their sound throughout the years. Some changes were tough to go through. I can safely say this might be his best work yet. Slug's still got it.
this guy sticks to me. as I'm driving down the road, windows down, rain coming in the windows, pelting me in the arm. gets me. gets to my heart. all my regrets. all my wouldve couldve shouldve 's. my temper. every song. every day. the smile i put out to people around.......
I'm glad Atmosphere didn't go bozo on us. I mean I always knew Rhymesayers is one of the only few who ARE Hip-Hop, but nowadays older rappers be doing shit that benefits commerce, but destroys their art.
The only man I follow and respect .followed hip hop (real hip hop)for 20 years and he stands a t the top lyrics infinite truth and honesty a true master
I can't emphasize how this song is me right now, " if I could sum it up into a shorter quote, fuck it , you might as well row this boat" so resonates with me...Atmosphere, ty....
FINALLY! A new Atmosphere album. I was so hyped when I heard "Bitter" on Pandora. "Bitter" was good, but Ant fucking KILLED it with this beat! So good!
Camera thief Take pictures Run like the parallel stitches Attach my feet to the path I beat Teach myself to keep the answers brief Gnash my teeth like the last to feast Imagine me on that abandoned beach Sand and sea as if the jazz was free I’m Ice cream mixed with gasoline
I just wanted to share my perspective of one of his lyrics and see if anyone else agrees because I keep going back and forth about what I think he means. "If I had a time machine I'd probably use it like a vacuum and try to clean." Some of my friends think he means he would try to clean up his past, but I disagree and think that he means that he wouldn't care to use it to change the past but rather leave the past alone and do something "fatherly" and use it as a "vacuum" to clean up (around the house maybe? lol) . As the rest of this song seems to talk about growth and references to who/how he used to be, I think it's a cute and clever line that shows he's happy with the present and has other priorities and things to take care of.
I like 4:30, to me its like he doesnt care whenever something or someone (not related to ant) will tell him he cant go any further because he finally reached the end but he doesnt care he'll just keep going....
After hearing this song a couple of times (my first by the way), I felt like getting at this beat. My last two bars are iffy... It's the end of the road, but there still lies a path I can build a better future using pieces of the past At last, we made it, we finally here Look around and nobody is near cause when you on top the sights are clear Don't hear, listen and think You're loosing focus chasing women and drinks Spending money trying to get them in between the sheets Put that dollar away, you'll be okay You could've bought but instead your signing a lease Opportunity doesn't have to knock,We knocking down doors Chasing after it like stench following sweat out the pores
Rap is just an instrument. Hip hop is the genre, and some of its sub genres are actually meant to mean something, lyrically. So yes, it does resemble rap, and its finest branch at that.

Ant is one of the most underrated producers in the game, such a feel good beat.
He’s pretty known actually
I think he’s pretty popular but I agree, amazing beats
Holy shit I just tweeted same today...so great and consistent....underrated as hell💯🫀👊
Love that they just let the beat ride for the length of a verse.
Amazing beats! Hypnotize me like nothing else, omf

Line made me cry when I first heard it.
I'm going to speak on everyone's behalf. Atmosphere is loved. This is more than just music. These songs are our poetry to life. The beats are the sound of everything around us. Together, its our motivation to keep us going forward. Sean and Ant, props for what you are doing for us.
You should see it in Sign Language 🤟
yes
This song specifically saved my life. Such a lifesaver that music can be always amazed me
Word
He is a movement that also reflects our current political state or mentality we’re all fuct dead sheep marching like lemmings off a cliff
People say that rap is dead but they aren't listening to the right stuff, this stuff gets to your head, makes you feel something. Pitty how some people don't know what good music is,
Well said hip hop resurrect
i thought you were rhyming lol
Rap is not dead not sure about hip-hop as a whole culture.
Atmosphere is the shit borough'd from all the best shit

& spread it like a rumor ..
@@Capsule71420 keep it moving like a rumor
I see a ton of comments on here about how Slug killed it/didn't do enough. Where is the love for Ant? This beat is amazing, best on the album

SouthSideres has my favorite production from Ant
The guy is amazing at his craft
AMEN! i am not too late, i hope.
This man is a true lyricist. There are so few who can rhyme, and fewer still who use their words wisely
This is why I have enjoyed them

what album?

the one that dropped yesterday. "southsiders" its alright.
o thats dope
miss the days of watching free atmos shows in madison wi with eyedea and abilities....headshots. growin old with em indeed...
20th of august will be the second atmosphere show ive seen this year alone! This song is EPIC.
My buddy showed this to going to work one night, and told me was sorry we quit talking but the drugs got him and he tried overdosing. We still homies to this day, but he's in Minnesota and I'm in Texas, he's got a family, and now at 31 im battling sobriety worse then ever.

It's a statement based rhyme, heavy on the metaphors, says em slow so they sink and can be comprehend - most still go over my head lol
Richard Betancourt You missed the point.
This isn't rap it's poetry. And I've been listening to this poet since middle school.. I never realized how old i was.=(
Eat, Sleep, Southsiders.. repeat! all day everyday.
if Slug isnt in your top MCs, you need to listen to more Atmosphere.
I agree. Slug has been a solid staple in my life for over 9 years

November 2021. Still bumpin old school Atmosphere. Thank you Slug. Thank you Ant. Thank you all.

U run carnival games sir
This is one of the many songs slug has written that solidifies him as one of the greatest lyricists of all time. Straight up poetry.
Still listening ❤️
What a great song to start this album... Props to Ant on this one
He is the man....See me pointing at him.

Best Group i ever stumble upon since over a decade i think
Wow, ever since "Sunshine" in 2008, I've been glued to Atmosphere. Props.
Your music has walked with me through a lot Ty.
It blows my mind that Southsiders is already 10 years old. Where the heck did all this time go
ATMOSHPERE, your words are magic, i'm in awe once again
Rhymesayers saved my life.
where do i go from here? what other music is going to put me in this mood? what other song? ... something that makes you think and feel in that way.... that i really dont know how to describe...

By far one of the dopest Atmosphere songs ever! Love the Dante's Inferno-theme of the video too
Greatest soul patch of all time, truthfully.
you gotta think when it comes to alot of slugs lyrics. lots of hidden meanings in them. so before you say his lyrics suck listen to it again and think. hes a lyrical mastermid
I question how intelligent a person is that states Slugs lyrics have no meaning.
Im glad he is still making music and never changed
Ant really shines on this track. He's still got it. I believe Slug does too, but it might not have shown quite as much on this one. Great song though, and a great album. Glad Atmosphere's still keepin' on.

U did it a gain!Thanks for 14 years of good music.
The cinematography of this music video compliments the quality craftsmanship of Slug's lyrics & Ant's rhythm perfectly ... Atmosphere's albums always feel like a gift. Simply executed conscious hip-hop with conceptual depth & intelligent thought never sounded so good ... never stop feeding your passion gentlemen!
Big ups to MN and the southside.
I really don't understand how people think these are bullshit lyrics these are awesome and some good metaphors are in there.
Just ignore the peeps that say they dont like the lyrics, let them listen to kanye or lil wayne. They dont know what real hip hop is. Im so glad im listening to atmosphere for years now they are so good. To me the last real hip hop left..
Jatoch Ofnietdan Agreed.
Jatoch Ofnietdan It's not the last left, it'll never die. But definitely this is some of the top tier stuff out there.
Jatoch Ofnietdan Kanye West and Lil Wayne are both better than Atmosphere.
I banish the fake. You disgusts me.
"pulled out a sack of sampsons hair" .. was that a regina spektor reference? I love that song
Ants' Production is freaking amazing! Never lets me down. Yes that is me with Ant in my pic.
That is when I told Ant that His music is like
"An island of relief in an ocean of diarrhea."
And I mean it. With all the other shit that is out there on the radio, it is so great to hear thoughtful composition.
HEY ANT! If you see this I want to hang out at the next Sound Set.
Just absolutely in love with this song.
my favorite rapper at the moment
Me too, still.
been my fav since 1998
Even if it doesn't make sense to you, someone else can find a hidden meaning. This is why I have always loved atmosphere. They paint a story but you can always find meanings of your own.
I've been listening to you for years brutha, never gets old... Much love Atmosphere A.KA.Slug god bless you and the Fam.. Thanks for everthing you've done for music and all of us💯
What about Ant??
Yea been around for years dropping dope ass songs
I've never seen Atmosphere in concert. I also didn't realize the new album was out yet. I have two tickets to see him on June 8th (my birthday) in Boston. Don't even know who I'm bringing yet but I don't care because I'm so excited. I'll go alone if I have to and it will still be the best birthday gift ever.
Ill be in boston then and I adore atmosphere bring me ill buy the ticket from you haha
good for you kid been listening to him since hes been out still havnt seen him
I saw him in Portland at a small venue! Best live show I've seen in a very long time! You're lucky, he's a great performer :)
You're gonna love their show! I seen them back in 2011, best concert I've ever seen. Have fun!
Surprisingly fantastic live. Awesome relaxed sort of wander between tracks. I saw them alone. I just chilled with this big ass smile and smoked blunts for 2 hours. It was great
Yo, Atmosphere is my favorite positive influence rap art. And what kind of IRON do they use? Wrinkle free. Damn.
Been an Atmoshphere fan for a long time now. Atmosphere has undergone a lot of changes to their sound throughout the years. Some changes were tough to go through. I can safely say this might be his best work yet. Slug's still got it.
this guy sticks to me.
as I'm driving down the road, windows down, rain coming in the windows, pelting me in the arm.
gets me.
gets to my heart.
all my regrets.
all my wouldve couldve shouldve 's.
my temper.
every song.
every day.
the smile i put out to people around.......
Wow! 😊
Damn this is actually a really good music video
My new favorite thing on the whole entire internet.
Oh my Atmosphere, just gave me chills. Best song i have heard so far of 2014!!
This song kills me every time 😭😭
Grammy award should be for this and all the hard work he's done in the last ten years . underground or not . show the "Mcs" what a real MC is
So glad he's still puttin shit out
I'm glad Atmosphere didn't go bozo on us. I mean I always knew Rhymesayers is one of the only few who ARE Hip-Hop, but nowadays older rappers be doing shit that benefits commerce, but destroys their art.
I cannot wait for Cali roots Atmosphere seriously speaks to what I've been going through lately
Atmosphere is always killing it. Great job
The only man I follow and respect .followed hip hop (real hip hop)for 20 years and he stands a t the top lyrics infinite truth and honesty a true master
This is just some good old Hip Hop, no sellout lyrics or corporate hype... just a chill track with a personal undertone.
I can't emphasize how this song is me right now, " if I could sum it up into a shorter quote, fuck it , you might as well row this boat" so resonates with me...Atmosphere, ty....
FINALLY! A new Atmosphere album. I was so hyped when I heard "Bitter" on Pandora. "Bitter" was good, but Ant fucking KILLED it with this beat! So good!
These lyrics. Resonating real hard.
Great track Big up from Poland !
Slug is back. Most relatable lyric " if I had a time machine I'd use it like a vacuum and try to clean"
sick....never disappointed when Slugs on the mic and Ants bringin the beats! World Class gentlemen, keep them comin'!
Atmosphere is the dopest hip hop i ever experienced.
Camera thief
Take pictures
Run like the parallel stitches
Attach my feet to the path I beat
Teach myself to keep the answers brief
Gnash my teeth like the last to feast
Imagine me on that abandoned beach
Sand and sea as if the jazz was free
I’m Ice cream mixed with gasoline
good song...there are certain groups to just stay with...atmosphere is one of them...highly consistant.
Still got it...takes me back to 2002 wun!luf!
I don't know why I love this song so much??????????????
slug will be 80 and still be killing any young rapper with his lyrics. Mans got unbelievable talent
Loooooluhmmm
Slug is hip hop's greatest story teller..
I just wanted to share my perspective of one of his lyrics and see if anyone else agrees because I keep going back and forth about what I think he means.
"If I had a time machine I'd probably use it like a vacuum and try to clean."
Some of my friends think he means he would try to clean up his past, but I disagree and think that he means that he wouldn't care to use it to change the past but rather leave the past alone and do something "fatherly" and use it as a "vacuum" to clean up (around the house maybe? lol) . As the rest of this song seems to talk about growth and references to who/how he used to be, I think it's a cute and clever line that shows he's happy with the present and has other priorities and things to take care of.
He means cleaning up the past. Sorry.
One of the most slept on songs in history
Still banging in 2021!
I like 4:30, to me its like he doesnt care whenever something or someone (not related to ant) will tell him he cant go any further because he finally reached the end but he doesnt care he'll just keep going....
After hearing this song a couple of times (my first by the way), I felt like getting at this beat. My last two bars are iffy...
It's the end of the road, but there still lies a path
I can build a better future using pieces of the past
At last, we made it, we finally here
Look around and nobody is near cause when you on top the sights are clear
Don't hear, listen and think
You're loosing focus chasing women and drinks
Spending money trying to get them in between the sheets
Put that dollar away, you'll be okay
You could've bought but instead your signing a lease
Opportunity doesn't have to knock,We knocking down doors
Chasing after it like stench following sweat out the pores
i keep my dreams inside my dreams
so powerful
Real Hip-Hop...... The man is a living legend imo. Pure Wordsmith.....
I had to watch this a second time. This doesn't resemble rap to me. This was truly written of poetry.
Not all rap is the same.
Rap is just an instrument. Hip hop is the genre, and some of its sub genres are actually meant to mean something, lyrically. So yes, it does resemble rap, and its finest branch at that.
Roxas Colella that's why rap stands for rythym and poetry
Fox Wright yup
This is the first time I hear this dude. I compliment his beat and lyrics but cannot stand the pauses!!!
LOVE IT
I wondered if there was video cause this song was just that good. Glad I finally looked it up.
Wow i knew if this dude through Cunninlynguists but never actually listened to his music. Damn good stuff right here.

Atmosphere never dissapoints. Consistent
I love my boys from atmosphere. Will never get bored of them. I wish to someday see them live and have ant and slug give me an autograph
I saw them live a couple of years ago. The best show I have ever been to. AWESOME EXPERIENCE. I hope you get to see them one day too. :)
I talked to them 2 years ago before a show in Amsterdam. Best show in my life. Do what you must and go and see them.
20 some days left until Soundset! They are headlining !
Filip Tanchev They'll be back in Amsterdam in October. Can't wait.
Atmosphere, Immortal Technique, and Jedi Mind Tricks are the most based guy out there
