To anybody here who hasn't listened to the rest of Armand Hammer's discography, go do that now! Billy and ELUCID are the best hip-hop duo of all-time imo.
absolutely, woods is my favorite rapper and that's no slight towards ELUCID. i was so fuckin surprised to see this collab w/ alchemist and goddamn it did not disappoint.
This is just one of those songs that once you discover it, you go back and play it over and over and over and over. Never gets old. Bone chilling. The video makes it 10x more bone chilling too
@@SebsBeenHere that's how fractions work, not how musical time signatures work. this song is counted as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 with eighth notes (6/8 time signature) and the emphasis is on beats 1 and 4. pay attention to the hi-hat and the snare in this song. music that is actually written in a 3/4 time signature is counted as 1, 2, 3 with quarter notes, with emphasis on beats 1 and 3.
@@aminblack9353 Yeah, it's about pure dopeness and lyrical stylings. It's some futuristic stuff the masses just can't wrap their heads around. Feel blessed if you have been blessed with ears to hear it!
This is easily Alchemist best record. It showcases his style, his dj skills and his sound selection. Been nerding over this record man, so stoked to see all three of em live!
@@jonathanwilson3984 i think its a general im the big dog baller rap but an excellent reference in the same vein as when your that big nothing eats you
It’s a biblical reference. It’s part of the overt religious overtones...krill in the cold deep is probably a reference to the world changing events Taking place rn swallowing ppl up like leviathan
Finally some originality in the fucking game. This hits heavy. half way through the album and its taking forever because i play each track 3 times in a row.
I got excited when I heard that Armand Hammer are releasing something new, but completely lost my shit when I heard that Alchemist is gonna produce. AOTY and the year ain't even halfway through!
Some Slowly Go.. Some just Vanish, Don’t Make a Promise You can’t Keep, Don’t Make a Keepsake out of Grief! I can’t Promise Anything, It’s Pills to Help You Sleep, It’s ill.. but You’re Like Krill in That Cold Deep! 🙌
This album is fire and right on time! Thank you Armand Hammer and Alchemist! "Don't make a promise you can't keep. Don't make a keepsake out of grief."
I love the way he emphasizes the middle of his rhymes rather then the begging or end like other mc's, gives him a very entrancing presence no matter the track
Lyrics [Intro] Good evening ladies and gentlemen Would you gather 'round, please?

@@colourdwater Armed to a "T" meaning he's fully loaded with guns on his person , Tango is a military slang word for Enemy or target , also meaning dance. Basically saying he's strapped and ready for the enemy and doesn't mind battling with them
These guys are fucking insane!!! I must say I'm very late to the party, but I'm gonna go back to listen to everything by these guys, Billy Woods and Elucid have some of the best and most profound writing known to man!!! Def not for your average listener, truly intelligent vibes!!! The range of things they cover is insane!!! These guys are aware and have knowledge on everything from pop culture, Punk, Metal, tv series, movies, sports, science, but then still drop that conscious vibe and always pay homage to all the Hip Hop legends!!!!🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Somebody on tik tok "insulted" me sayin my snippet from a new track sounded like armand hammer. Had no clue who that was til now. How the FUCK is that an insult?! Hyped I heard about y'all.
E L U C I D left the planet on this verse. Mad props to billy too of course I can't promise anything, it's pills to help you sleep It's ill but you're like krill in that cold deep" both these guys are at the top of the pen game rn
This sounds like two paralisis demons rapping over a nightmare beat while you can't move in your bed, twitching and scared af.
"You need permission to have an issue with me / Im not privy to the stories you live inside..."
“The home of all history, I just bend the rhyme” this album is amazing
Why does he always blur his face though
@@musicaholic119 He doesn't... that's Elucid saying that.
"You need permission to have an issue with me"
I fucking love that.
loved this bar !! but was he telling us or asking ? 🤔
This beat is incredible. Alchemist is an all time great
THE Greatest
Agreed
How about Preservation ...
I love how he pushed himself producing for them because they’re so different and amazing. Seamless chemistry
To anybody here who hasn't listened to the rest of Armand Hammer's discography, go do that now! Billy and ELUCID are the best hip-hop duo of all-time imo.
Agreed! Listen to all their solo stuff as well!
absolutely, woods is my favorite rapper and that's no slight towards ELUCID. i was so fuckin surprised to see this collab w/ alchemist and goddamn it did not disappoint.
How much rap have you actually listened to tho...
@@DaygoKid94 Hundreds of albums and no one touches Armand Hammer
@@Pray4FLYGOD I have to respectfully disagree
Awe-inspiring. "You're gonna need a bigger boat" has never been used in a more powerful context.
It's dope
Only in the movie Jaws
You're gonna need a smaller ocean.

Let's give it up to the director . Those visuals were dope.

Literally addicted to this track ...Idk what it is
@@willyfischer5072 same man. Won’t ever get old
This feels like discovering an Easter Egg in Hip-hop. Elite level.

Bro that 3/4 is wild, this is most def one of Al’s hardest beats. This shit is disgusting🔥😭
What is 3/4?

it's actually in 6/8

epitomizes "gotta run that shit back" - relentless flows, beautiful beat, they simply cannot be stopped
These guys are on another level then the entire Rap game. It's not even up for debate after this one!
Can you please tell.me.what this.song is about ???
@@aminblack9353 Yeah, it's about pure dopeness and lyrical stylings. It's some futuristic stuff the masses just can't wrap their heads around. Feel blessed if you have been blessed with ears to hear it!
@@aminblack9353 honestly it's too soon for now, they always have so much depth in their writing
@@messproductions237 True dat!
I love Armand hammer but Mach-hommy is better than both combined.
How is it that all three involved are still improving. I thought that wasn’t possible
Yes. Billy Woods flow definitely improved
This is easily Alchemist best record. It showcases his style, his dj skills and his sound selection. Been nerding over this record man, so stoked to see all three of em live!
Biggest room is the room for improvement
if you didnt think was possible you got to change up all your routines fam lol
One of the best rap duos of all time 🔥🤧
Probably top 3 tbh along with OutKast and run the jewels
"Leviathan swim with an open jaw" period.
woods, talk to em! They're not listening!
Smh !! Just smh
What do you think this symbolism means?
@@jonathanwilson3984
i think its a general im the big dog baller rap
but an excellent reference
in the same vein as when your that big nothing eats you
the (visual) whaling references
It’s a biblical reference. It’s part of the overt religious overtones...krill in the cold deep is probably a reference to the world changing events Taking place rn swallowing ppl up like leviathan
The way Woods comes out of the gates in this one....
He came out going crazy with no control.
Finally some originality in the fucking game. This hits heavy. half way through the album and its taking forever because i play each track 3 times in a row.
I got excited when I heard that Armand Hammer are releasing something new, but completely lost my shit when I heard that Alchemist is gonna produce. AOTY and the year ain't even halfway through!
Calling it early , this is one of the greatest albums of this decade
I dunno, Billy puts out a lot of projects, you don't think he could top this in the next 8 years? Haha
Some Slowly Go.. Some just Vanish,
Don’t Make a Promise You can’t Keep,
Don’t Make a Keepsake out of Grief!
I can’t Promise Anything, It’s Pills to Help
You Sleep, It’s ill.. but You’re Like Krill in That
Cold Deep! 🙌
Bruuhhhhh
Underrated ASF, goated song fr. Broke the repeat button.
one of the best openers i've ever heard
This album is fire and right on time! Thank you Armand Hammer and Alchemist!
"Don't make a promise you can't keep. Don't make a keepsake out of grief."
"Everything for sale expect for the scale"
Bar.
I was always more fond of complex *one-liners* than punchlines.
A reference to woods on Stranger in the Village, the closer on Terror Management
need to see elucid singing his heart out in a stonefruit video. i cried to that shit
stonefruit was fire
"dreams is dangerous" what an opening statement
0:51 love that they left this scene in.
Elucid rhymes kind of like Murakami writes. Almost feels like he speaks in Haikus
Nice
Not enough cats
I love the way he emphasizes the middle of his rhymes rather then the begging or end like other mc's, gives him a very entrancing presence no matter the track
@@1mintyboi Completely agreed!
@@1mintyboi Ye his delivery is unmatchable
this song was crazy live
Billy woods one of the best rappers ev er
"Everythings for sale except the scale"
Nawh talk to them E L U C I D
Billy woods said that line first
billy approach to spitting so unique, makes me pay extra attention every time
every verse is a lesson
Lyrics
[Intro]
Good evening ladies and gentlemen
Would you gather 'round, please? Please, hurry up, thank you
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to disturb your dancin' and enjoyment
But the reason for calling you this evening is-
Good times, good times
[Verse 1: billy woods]
Dreams is dangerous, linger like angel dust
Ain't no angels hovering, ain't no savin' us
Ain't no slaving us, you gon' need a bigger boat
You gon' need a smaller ocean but here's some more rope
Barefoot in the bush burnin' dope, kush smoke out my big nosе
My favorite game is "Let's Supposе," let's suppose
I ask the question just to see it in your face
I already know the answer never mattered
Every night, he drink and piss up the mattress
Kept turnin' it over and backwards 'til he threw it out
Laid on the box-spring like a cactus, madness
Some slowly go, some just vanish
Don't make a promise you can't keep
Don't make a keepsake out of grief
I can't promise anything, it's pills to help you sleep
It's ill but you're like krill in that cold deep
Alcohol seep out the pores like gills
Air squeeze out the ocean floor, Leviathan swim with open jaw
Queen Naija 'Hate Our Love' Official Lyrics & Meaning | Verified






[Interlude: E L U C I D]
As many times as you need
Good times, good times
[Verse 2: E L U C I D]
You need permission to have an issue with me
I'm not privy to the stories you live inside
A home of alt history, I just bend the rhyme
No mystery, God, deepest look inside
Thick fog on the channel, rando pseudo Rambo, bad camo
Armed to a T as in tango
Letha Brainz Blo, baldhead in Kangol
Televised game show, strange soul, royal scam
I ate a rose in shavasana, hopped up, workin' on my posture
I'ma slap box Judge Mathis and Judge Wapner
Hot stuff, crock pot all rocked up, lock step
E'rything for sale except for the scale, props bruv
Eight arms at the last grab
Put 'em on the glass, the number's fine but his math's bad
Guns and butter for king crab
Claws pinch at my skin tag, don't holla back, black
Brass tax doubled for windbags
Green grass and blue flower, seaweed snack from Okinawa
4D facts, don't be a Weisenheimer
wheres that intro dialogue from?🤔
I hope alchemist collabs with them again the chemistry is amazing
Agreed - love his work with Boldy James too
Holy shit, they shot outside the laundromat and the parking garage around the corner in my old neighborhood in Crown Heights. Had to do a double take. I've walked past there for the last two years 😂 Can't believe these guys were just down the street
Woods an al killed it but damn elucid was on another level on this one
Facts bruh “green grass and blue flowers, seaweed snacks from Okinawa”
Been in a fan for 20 years, great to see Billy and El shine!
been in a fan for 20 years LOL
I love the delivery switch up from woods, and the flow! Subject matter is always on point so no surprise there. So dope
So what is this song about ??
@@aminblack9353 living in oppression is what I’m getting
Nostalgia already heavy
I stayed with a Sir Benni Miles wave cap on in the early 00's lmaooo
Can't wait for my pre order to come in the mail
I bought it for 140$ - this vinyl is crack 💉 now i need Haram II 😅
@@skurilbeats I need to start a collection that's gonna be worth some money.
Ive listened to this 100 times
Alchemist will never miss
One of the best dope poetic enigmatic rappers ive ever heard....billy is my dude but elucid on another level with those poetic bars he b spittin
It feels like destiny how they met and are likely the only two rappers in the world on the same level to make Armand Hammer.
So hype for this... Woods prolific... Glad my favorite rapper’s always comin with it
All hail. Alchemist the Great. This joint is a soundtrack to insanity! 🔥🔥🔥
If you play this song on repeat as much as I have, you’ll notice that the jump-scare noise at the beginning masks the words “Fuck that shit.”
This is the best song all year no doubt.... My God... This man made something definitely
Strong, no more word´s needed.
The Alchemist one of the Best producers
so subtle with the visuals just noticed the smoke seeping out the seams of the boards
this album is ahead of its time
This album is so good. Uncle Al on a roll!
Kool Keith. Thats what the flow is reminiscent off.
There's songs in this album, like this one, that just scare the shit out of me. both billy and elucid sound so cold blooded is insane.
OMG!!! Sparky’s Babylon wedding intro. One of my fave scenes. Proper 100% realism acting. Oh the track is fantastic also.
So raw
Everything with this is sick
When I heard Kangal I became an instant fan! Saving to music favorites~!
ELEVATING THE CRAFT
im not ready
AOTY 2021
Album lived up to the hype
“Armed to a “T” as in Tangoooo” - very complex line right here 🔥
Pls expound?
@@colourdwater Armed to a "T" meaning he's fully loaded with guns on his person ,
Tango is a military slang word for Enemy or target , also meaning dance.
Basically saying he's strapped and ready for the enemy and doesn't mind battling with them
Tango down on that one
don’t make a promise u can’t keep don’t make a keepsake out of grief
"Don't make a problem you can't keep, don't make a keepsake outta grief" 🥶🔥
Bars real rap
Alchemist a straight monster for this beat. 🔥🔥🔥🔥 The flow is galactic.
This is straight up legend
the very beginning reminds me of a Leon Vynehall clip, movement chapter 3 if this is what inspired thats crazy
Alchemist is a Legend Salute.
The world needed this album. Thank you.
That album is packed with bangers
"don't make a keepsake outta grief"
wild that this is happening, amazing album with the 19 mins I've heard so far.
These guys starting to get the recognition they deserve
Album is amazing
Best rap artist

I still got my Sir Benni Mikes Denim... BK all day🔥🔥🔥
We will like to work a vintage photoshoot of the denim jacket if possible this is the CFO of SBMNY we are back bk all day‼️
Rappers need to include their lyrics as subtitles. I really wanna get on these rhymes, but my English ears deny me.
Absolutely mental.
No.
Been playing the album non stop this shit is fire
Real hip hip salute
Rap has evolved beyond
Raw shit ☠️
"Mooom! Throw me down some moneeey! The ice cream man
