I know you guys out there won't believe me, but this song is about Adam. He was a graffiti artist, better known as "Bingo", based in Australia. He always listened to these guys, he also used to send them letters all the time. Well, about fifteen years ago he was hit by a train. So Promoe heard about this and wrote a song about it. (this one) If you don't believe me it's okay, but I just wanted you to know the truth about this song. =)
Didn't the story go that Bingo was from Sweden and he had only travelled to australia for a while? "He spread the troops message all the way to australia, dude"…"from the grass roots, he came from sweden too".
Was watching Queen's Gambit series and one song sounded so familiar... They used the original Classical Gas and my brain teased me, couldn't quite remember what song it reminded me of... And then it hit me, IT WAS THIS!!! GODDAMN CLASSIC!
ive listened to this song since i was a kid, i think im the only Canadian that has... Used to play a video game online back in early 2000s with a dude from sweden who got me hooked on promoe.
First heard this through older writers from my high school back around 2007 in Sydney Aus, guys that used to paint with Bingo R.I.P. I grew up seeing Bingo panels in Aus graff mags and heard the story of how this song was made in dedication to Bingo. I now live in Sweden and love to thumb this track and amazed to see how many people know and love it as much as we did back in Aus. A writers true love song. Loop Troop Rockers Swedish legends ✌✌
@@Lopitra everyone has their own reasons, I was good at art and when I started highschool there was graffiti everywhere and a lot of writers, I had seen people painting murals previous to that and thought it looked awesome, it was just a natural progression.
@@Lopitrafor me its no political reason or anything i just think the worlds pretty grey and depressing nowadays needs some color and its always fun to do
@@Lopitraadrenaline, political, heritage, friend group, fun to draw. There is many more reasons but to me it doesn’t matter. Ones actions do not need to be justified for someone else
My favourite song of all time!! One love and peace 4 everyone Respect to Promoe from Poland!! Wielki big up dla pozytywnego rapu! Zachodnie wybrzeże PL pozdrawia!!
In late 2016 I was studying my master at Gothenburg University and it would happen so many times that I sit next to Promoe in library, I think he was studying Politics (not sure thou), so calm and easy going guy, pure talent.
Cool story! Hope you're enjoying your time here. Yeah it's either law or politics I think, my ex used to meet him there all the time too while studying
One of the my best random clicks ever.. just love it when you discover an new artist who is really worth it to listen to. I know Looptroop but never listend to a solo project.
Graffiti is some of the best time's you'll have with You're people... climbing up on highway signs and billboards, into lay ups, on train insides.... When my boy passéd untimely all the spots we smashed rushed back to mind..
Niskinatorn Fuck yeah it is. It's not our paint that's thinning out your wallets, it's the paint from your government that's used to cover it up that is so costly to you through taxes. Little shits get paid by the city and the state to buff graffiti. Waste of money, I totally agree.
Niskinatorn only toys tag schools, places of worship or personal property. Our beef is with society as a whole, not individuals. City, state, federal property. Common law. There's exceptions but only assholes do that shit. Even In low life form shit like graffiti there are standards
I was in berlin 2002 on LoopTroop concert and it was great. We did subway after party..at morning we met LoopTroop with caravan..talk about subway action, rep...crazy guys. I like it
Just heard classical gas on netflix (the sample used) and instantly reminded me of this song from my youth! Used to have this on repeat. Such a nice trip down memory lane!
This tune is mint!!! So infectious. Just makes me smile n bounce!! Big up Promoe n looptroop!! And big up all the graffiti cats the world over!! Thanks Rakis for the upload :)
This guy is Swedish TOO??? all the talents seem to be from that little cold country up there =P Skills! Love the video too! So catchy! Best regards from Tokyo, Japan
looptroop is the most listened European hip-hop group in Romania. We may not find your albums around but you should have a few concerts here because thousands of people will come. You're the fucking greatest hiphop group in the world. Keep supporting the Eastern population in your songs :D
I just found my book about 15 minutes ago and instantly thought about this song!!!! Crazy memories running through my head right now of getting chased and doing stupid shit as a kid
I have, over the years, come to greatly trust "these walls" because, unlike humankind, they simply don't lie !!!!! .... Respect to graph artist across the globe.
He actually wrote this about a writer in australia who was hit by a train while writing and all he listened to was LOOPTROOP and when they heard this..well this happenned..respect from🇦🇺
Yeah, it is. I was listening to Classical gas for the first time recently and couldn't for the life of me figure out where I had heard it before. I listened to it like five times until I realized that it was from this song I recognized it.
i feel bad for the youth today, they're stuck with justin bieber, nicki minaj, drake, macklemore...trash artists with no talent at all. and i know, time changes constantly but talent is of all times.
+axeburken true, there is good music these days. But it doesn't get the same promotion, right? A lot of good rappers and singers that don't get the same recognition. Are artists like the weeknd, drake, macklemore really THAT good? I believe they're not.
+Mister Jones I am on your side when it comes to not liking that kind of artists, but a lot of people tend to not be interested in lyrics and such. So they tend to be dragged into the mainstream mush of music that is just made to sell and not to deliver a message.
axeburken exactly! it's all about making money nowadays. nothing wrong with that, but put some effort in the songs so they can remain timeless. but hey, as long as it sells right?:)
fukin hell!! toook like 16 pages before i found this! thank u for putting this up was doing me head in trying to remember the big pun tune. was thinking papa but didnt think of mamma! whoop
This song brings back so many memories. :D Promoe is really awesome. I really loved the music video, still do. Promoe, Looptroop Rockers, Timbuktu.. Sweden have some pretty damn good rappers. Represent! :D
props 2 looptroop all the way from western australia dude! american hip hop is gettin a bit stale but australia sweeden france england new zealand n shit are keepin it real!
You mean hiphop that speaks the truth, not about bitches and money? If you mean that, then you're just not looking right. Lil Wayne and all them honestly, I don't consider them part of Hiphop.. You need to look up Tech N9ne, Nas, Immortal Technique, Vinnie Paz, Joe Budden.. some real ass rappers out there and you're missing them!
I am from Portugal and our hip hop and the spannish hip hop are also very good and with a lot of "content". In the US what you have more is RAP, not hip hop. Peace
Oh please... you're just not looking hard enough. There are thousands of good hip hop songs from the U.S. Comments like yours make it obvious that you just don't know the genre. Let's not forget where hip hop was invented.
Pure gold, still golden. This track refuses to grow old.
I have always loved this song aswell. But i never noticed the 666 at 1:20 before.

yes and always
2024 anyone?

Of course! Bingo was from where I live. A story told to younguns who write the Northside train lines in Brisvegas.
Till infinity
Yes
fuck yes
i remember summer of 2006 or 2007, i was 15-16 bumping this song outside with my friends drinking beer. time flies
Time flies indeed. Feels like yesterday, huh?
RIP Bingo! 20 years since his passing, last month. This song still gives me such good nostalgic and melancholic feelings!
This track is forever a Sweden treasure! One big fantastisk hit Promoe! 2022 lets gooo

6 years ago I started graffiti, I've been listening to this song, since then till now. Much respect to the minds behind it. It's a masterpiece
One of the best rappers ever!
I love him!
Respect and greetings from Serbia!

Sean Tobbe Would you think a big penis would be appropiate on the wall of a school? If not - who decides what is ok to draw and where?
Niskinatorn That isnt graffiti that is called kids with paint.

Man I remember I listened to this in 4th grade on Mtv and got hooked on it, now like 10 years later I found it again, man I love it :D
No clue where I got this tape back in the day lol, still a banger
This never gets old.
i can´t even describe the feelings while i´m listening to this anthem!
Perfect song!!
That beat's killing me! Great lyric and voice, I love Promoe. (:
Blees Yaaa :)
Greetings from Poland :)
11 years later, greeting from Bulgaria! Cheers! :D
I know the song is about Adam, but it's also an anthem for every writer that we've lost. I listen to it when I miss my homie Spesh from San Francisco.
Happy Birthday Spesh! back listening to this & thinking about you, homie.
