HA. Love this track... Cracks me up every time. I can't believe I have been bumpin Atmos for over 14 years. Man I'm gettin old. I met Slug in front of the Knit Factory in Hollywood when I was 16. One of the best memories ever!!
Yeah the one great part about living in Minnesota is if you know where to go you'll likely run into anyone from the label. Ive ran into Ant and Slug more than a few times at this little dive bar in Minneapolis that hosts open mic's for indie rappers called "The DinkeyTowner". Met Ali outside a Doomtree show handing out flyers for his OWN show..granted this was BEFORE "The Undisputed Truth" came out. Met Eyedea at Soundset a week before he died and got autographs and pictures along with this little custom poem book he was selling that he wrote with his grandmother. bunch of others too..I Self and Dj Kool Ok,Los Nativo's..They are incredibly accessible here in the city.

Well if you listen to the lyrics he says he doesnt want the guy thrown out even though he was cursing at him and he gives his money back because he isnt in it for the money unlike the rappers who only care about "getting thier paper". And the chick thing he basiclly saying get some respect for yourself dont put it all on show, because dickheads will just take advantage of you.
"I would never put my meat sauce up in that pasta" is one of the funniest lines I've ever heard in hip hop

Yea I just met him last summer and I'm only 14, he's such an awesome but wholesome dude
Can't believe how old this is now still love atmosphere
Great song.. love how clearly Slug sees everything for what it is.
song remindes me jeru the damaja- ya playin yaself
Paying homage for sure
The living legends are right over there! Lmao!!
Out of all of the songs I've played for my mom, this one is her favorite. She said it was a total ll vibe 😅😂
"I understand, I was just like you when I was 15" #YouPlayedYourself #fan @frenchfriedtv
The ultimate diss track.
I believe dj khaled was watching this
you are closer to my son's age lmfao. Atmosphere is the biz i sayatmosphere and not just slug because u can't have one without the other.
Real shit. Ant doesn’t get the love he deserves!
haha "look the Living Legends are right over there, GO OVER THERE!!!"
no dislikes! thumbs up to that!
"You wouldn't look twice"
When your hero tells you to go elsewhere, you should know that you fucked up
TRUTH!!
What's up? My name is Sean, nice to meet ya
So what brings you backstage in this theatre?
Oh you're in the crew that plays first
I shoulda noticed all four of y'all of wore the same shirts
I bet you got a demo of your work right
{That's what's up} Can you leave it with my merch guy?
Well word up, good luck tonight
And don't forget to drink water, and don't cup that mic, huh
Do me a favour and stay away from Ant's beer
No you can't bring your fans back here
Nah I'm straight, you can keep your drugs in fact
Keep em in the alley out back behind the club
And drop the attitude
Why you acting like that little sticky pass is some kinda right of passage dude
Keep rapping till you get discovered
But better believe it's last time we ever see each other
[Hook] (Every second line spoken)
Cause you played yourself
Uh yeah, of course I remember you man, uh, how you been man? How you doin man?
You played yourself
They told me that you tried to pick a fight with your own DJ
You played yourself
Nah I didn't see your set man, I was, I was sleeping on the bus
You played yourself
Uh yeah, go talk to that guy, him, he'll give you some drink tickets, word
[Verse 2]
New York, at the Bowery getting down
With Grayskul, P.O.S. and Fillmore Brown
My first time touring with a live band
Trynna hide all the fear behind the mic stand
I just want to move around and keep it versatile
But tonight some kid took it personal
I stopped my set, yo what you yellin bout?
With your middle up calling me sell out
Then security rushed him like a gang fight
Wait, don't kick him out, man it ain't right
But they wasn't listening to Slug
I'm just an artist on the stage, they don't really give a fuck
So I finished up my set then
Ran out the front door to see if I could catch him
And there he was, mad and drunk
So I gave him his money and sent him off with a hug
[Hook] (Every second line spoken)
Man you played yourself
Man you can barely stand up, you trynna call me names, punk
You played yourself
I understand, I understand dude, I was just like you when I was 15 years old
You played yourself
Talking about, you ain't The Roots, you ain't The Roots, why you got a band man?
You played yourself
Do me a favour, throw away my CDs, I don't want you stupid fans
[Verse 3]
Girl please, don't treat me like you treat a toy
You wouldn't look twice if I was the pizza boy (nope)
You ain't got to flash me your ass and tits
I'd rather fantasise that you're a rap advocate
Look around, you see all these women?
They came for the music, you came for the scenesterism
The validating game is degrading
Got me cornered at the bar to boost your ratings
I'm getting too old for the trap
Go wiggle that cleavage at the opening act, huh
Plus you smell like a bucket of vodka
I would never put my meat sauce up in that pasta
The shows over, so why you waiting by the bus
Like I'm supposed to be impressed with the basics
You don't believe that I don't want to see you naked
But I'm not hanging out, take care and stay safe kid
[Hook] (Every second line spoken)
You played yourself
Yeah actually I have heard somebody say that to me before
You played yourself
You realise I can clearly see your clitoris through your jeans
You played yourself
Look you are closer to my son's age than, than you are to mine
You played yourself
Look, look, the li, the living legends are right there, right over there, go over there!
you realize you are closer to my sons age, than than mine.
or he's just super dope at diggin for records xD
you're antdamn right :)

Well if you listen to the lyrics he says he doesnt want the guy thrown out even though he was cursing at him and he gives his money back because he isnt in it for the money unlike the rappers who only care about "getting thier paper". And the chick thing he basiclly saying get some respect for yourself dont put it all on show, because dickheads will just take advantage of you.

Old comment, but I think he was just making a joke about ditching the girl.

This song totally changed my view on Slug. Made me wanna quit rapping.
