To me, it's about doing what you feel is right, no matter what people think. Be determined and resolute and you'll find that other people will appreciate what you're doing. Life's too big to worry about everyone else, set your mind on what you want and go out and achieve it (aka happiness).
1:28 it says dick on the wall lol who tags dick on the wall. yo man whats yur tag ohh its dick. no homo soryy bud no homo this time yur just plain gay fucking dumass taggers
See the entire thing is a metaphor for making something out of nothing. Improvising with whatever materials you have. This video captures the grittiness of NYC. Overprivileged suburban children have trampolines that they probably take for granted, while this kid drags a mattress for half a mile for the thrill of the outcome. It kind of symbolizes the DIY style that company flow had when they first started out, Eventually with their music, they created the same thrill. ::b-boy stance::
@cinapps every kid should have a trampoline...its just a shame they don't but don't criticize wealthy kids for what they never asked for...they were just born some place like you and me
Não sei oque é , mas tem uma coisa nesse video que me deixa cada vez mais interessado por ele , mesmo assim nao compriendo o significado dele , alguem me dá uma luz ? ;*
@UrbanCrunkMovement As much as I hate Fox news and would love this to be true, I've had evidence to the contrary that it took three fumigation to get rid of. The killer bees never came, but the bedbugs sure as hell did. (/ no idea if you were serious)
@SpiffyDIUM Bedbugs never made it to my country (Canada) but the unexplained fear did. Never heard of anyone needing to fumigate here but when it came time to get rid of a couple couches I went to 4 different thrift shops which did not want them because they were made of fabric.
El-P did it again. He is one of my favorite producers of all time, sadly Def Jux is gone and the music is not the same. Clearly he is still making SICK beats but I wanna hear Lif, Can Ox, and everyone else on the beats. Sadly that time is gone and never coming back...
YO EL PRODUCTO ... I dont know if you read all your comments ... but keep it simple with your EL - Pattens drums and all your emotional beat, just like that ... I know my comments late, but anyway ... thats it !!! peace out ...
@gallo1234321 - I'll take a stab at it.The world that is has been destroyed and left a wasteland by the babyboomers since the industrial revolution. Despite these facts the youth who are brave, creative, innocent, and more resilient than past generations will find ways to make joy out of rubble.
@gallo1234321 - As shotdeezy said before me, it could also be that they are trying to show us how the humans behave socially or our group dynamic. Some of us remain uninspired, unmotivated, afraid, and generally disinterested. People are in need of leaders. Without an example to draw from people are basically aimless and lost. We need positive, creative, determined, and charismatic leaders to step forward and show the rest of us a path to a happier existence.
my interpretation: the little kid is alone , people are watching but not interacting with him, which means in order to be an artist or leader you start alone, then once people see a leader/artist create something then they jump on the dick and will participate in something they had no hand in, perfect way to explain how ppl are
@saba462 the guy needs to score a science fiction film. Seriously, this beat would be perfect fur a futuristic sci-fi action film, in the similar vein of a Blade Runner. It just has that neo-noir feel to it.

Really love the last scene. The kids are all about to jump, make that plunge. It's like they're about to make the jump from childhood to adulthood, but nobody knows what's ahead. Perfect way to end the song and the video.
I've always felt that el-p's video clips said more than the actual songs did. The part that really stood out for me was when the kid jumps onto the mattresses like it was a huge deal. It reminded me of when I was a kid and the smallest step seemed like the biggest and now that I'm older a I can see it for what it was. Don't know if that was el's intention, just what I took from it. Love the song and the clip. def jukie.
Not only is this song the shit the video is as well. Remember the absolute purity of childhood? Even if you had a bad one (like EL-P) there are always happy and innocent aspects to it. When you're a kid you want to be an adult and when you're an adult you wish you could be a kid. Damn I gotta get this record!
@Indhegoh, Now that's real talk, what you said really makes the whole vid sense because at first I couldn't comprehend the underlying theme, but now I get it.
This track literally gave me goosebumps. El-P is an amazing producer, his tunes can be so raw, so powerful, yet so discordant and jarringly beautiful.
@SpikeyJamez I think I may just have to agree with you. I think that El-P's beats are like heroin. They're dirty and raw, yet they make me feel strangely blissful. A strange but wonderful dichotomy.
i miss being a kid. :(
