Atmosphere - If I Was

[666hatchetwarrior]

cant even remember how many times ive asked myself why i exist...

[GrabBagEntertainment]

@666hatchetwarrior embrace a religion. im a catholic..not a devout one, but a catholic. u really find ur purpose in life then

[666hatchetwarrior]

@GrabBagEntertainment Religion? Not my cup of tea, bro.

[FlorentineHope]

@666hatchetwarrior stop thinking and starting living. you don't even need to ask questions to get the answers.

[666hatchetwarrior]

@FlorentineHope My thoughts are the only thing i have that are MINE

[Julian24151]

Who needs christmas carols

[10qaws]

a world fulla santas ..... lool shat could go down ..

[hardcorelifeforus000]

Slug doesn't rap at you he raps to you

[cgschmidt33]

This is the original Atmosphere! Best of the best.

[chiapet0711]

what is the that bedtime beat he's using at the beginning of the track? the dreary tune that sounds like something from Peter Pan

[LANGUAGEOFHIPHOP]

reppin minnesota !

[handsofslaughter]

atmosphere is a fucking genious

[marienoelle123]

When i watch the visuals... i kinda feel like im tripping on shit...

[chonomakona]

Put the Atmosphere on your Christmas wish list.

[giantx31]

they really needa get a love button, but just for atmosphere

[biozoniak]

So perfect..!

[sasmosphere]

ha I used to love that feature on windows media player back in the day...

right before the time the Lucy Ford EP's came out. & I played it for my choice of music & poetry in a freshmen english class...

ppl thought I was "unique" then. haa

like whoa.

[AnalysisMusicTv]

REAL!

[AnthonyCorleone12345]

this song is so fuckin dope!!

[nayahbabyy]

I think I could just slip away with this song<3

[weirdingoodways]

life story

[ShadowMajestic]

big up from holland for one of the best lyrical geniuses in the world

[catalystica81]

i heart this so much :)

[valentinejudge]

old school atmosphere....... So much better than.....

[littlejulu]

still my favorite atmosphere song

[EveryoneCallsMeChris]

This is so dope....

[homflake91]

if i was a rapper id set some guide lines so when ur walking the tight rope youd be bumpin my shit =)

[TheFunkyyellow]

When i hear this, I almost cry (L)

[trouble1macker202]

Truly an underground king.

[ShadowMajestic]

woah, i lost this song in a windows crash years ago, i found it!! \o/

FUCK EMINEM! this 1 song is better then all eminems songs combined.... atmosphere for best white rapper!

[a1rjord4n]

@ShadowMajestic lol buddy eminem and atmospheres styles r totally different, atleast the old eminem, and slug aint even white hes half white half black but y does it even matter anyways

[1001names]

this world is circus :)

[myspam512]

This song is beyond "real".

It IS Reality.

It's just a shame that right now there are 3 people somewhere who live inside a fucking facade with bullshit like lil wayne on their christmas wishlist.

[MrOctapusman]

i got mad passion for atmosphere....slug knows how life really is and while he is saying the truth mainstream is talking all that bullshit

[onionbootyman]

fuck i love ants beats.

[CapoeiraPiper]

slug's best is his old shit for sure.

[Bearkitten77]

atmosphere is the best there ever was not that drake shit and wayne. He speaks the truth in everything he says and he doesnt even think hes the best he just does it for all the love but make money off it cause there is no comp.

[xrey56x]

this is an awesome song man they speak with their hearts man they r awesome

[RaulOF9]

Atmoshphere speaks to the everyday side of my soul, and Eyedea speaks to my insanity. I gotta say, Rhymesayers is the best and they have the best rappers out there.

[xxballsonweelsxx]

@RaulOF9 yea dude check out aesop rock, one of the best lyricists to ever walk the planet, hes not a rhymesayer but he works with them a lot

[RaulOF9]

@xxballsonweelsxx I know, Aseop Rock is awesome.

[Auxilium11]

I love giving but I'm bad at receiving

The truth is, I'd prefer to be the one bleeding

But I'm a paranoid that stays between play and work

Cautious and aware, 'cause I'm afraid of being hurt

^ This part is so touching for me, I felt my heart bouncing when I listened to this part; it is so recognizable compared with my own life..

[artmusicloverachael]

this song is fucking amazing.. on like every plausible level

[waterkid616]

its if i was santa claus not if i was

[xXxXadictsxXxX]

fuck its like every song i hear by atmosphere is fucken dope

[casenful]

@xXxXadictsxXxX Trueeee datt shitt right there..

[edthemetalhead]

put the atmosphere on your christmas wish list

[ihavenovids]

I love giving but I'm bad at receiving..

Truth is I'd prefer to be the one bleeding..

HOW OFTEN MUST I ASK MYSELF WHY I EXIST?!

Damn. Outta my head, Sluggo. Bless.

[industrialhemprocks]

who are these guys?

the super illy minillies?

dank!son.

[KidRondini]

love is my religion

[nickname1331]

I love you reballionism... but you must rethink your thoughts... Love is your spitituality.... the minute you bank off of the idea that love is your religion... then love is your religion... religion is a sad and very organized belief that makes money and gives power to some very evil people.... You need to re-think your definition of religion and spitiruality... i know that you know what i am talking about... please do not call it religion... that brings hate to peoples minds

[KidRondini]

words of wisdom =) thanks dude

[animelubbor432]

yes because religion is simply an ideaology, the true practicioners of such things state that they have a sense of respect and love for whom they believe in. Love is my spirituality, and as such, I feel as thoughni dont need drugs or alcohol to love myself, all i need is love music n faith. I only wish the ones who complain about money and things could see what I see, what most open minded people see.

[nickname1331]

so is love your religion or your spirituality? ... lol... just kidding man, call it what you want because I know what you mean. If love is your religion than you are on the right track... there is nothing more powerful than love... that is why evil is alway humiliated.... evil can never excede love in any way, no matter how evil the act is, the love that comes after is far stronger

[Slode420]

what about the act of loving to be evil..

[nickname1331]

thats funny you say that... When I was in college I wanted to write something about how love is the reason for all evil... but I never had the willingness to describe a bullshit philosophy and attempt to describe such a great emotion and claim it to mean only one thing.... I would be a fool.... however I agree with you man, some people love to be evil... have you ever heard of Taoism.... it is an ancient belief based upon opposites... and it is where the yin yang comes from.. so..you are right.

[Slode420]

@nickname1331 lol thanks, but no i've never heard of taoism but ill look it up, im just a scolar whose had a rough past and likes to learn from lifes lessons, and have learned simply that all my wroung turns have turned me toward the right path to want to learn... and want to strive, learned it from song... but i love hearing words of wisdom from elders, thanks mang!OneLoveOneLife

[Slode420]

at the end of the vid the lines make a middle finger.. or im trippin lol it geeked me out..

[the1oreo]

dude it did hahaha

[666hatchetwarrior]

total finger... /o/

[Slode420]

=]] skills

[AloneInTheDarkSucks]

I was about to click on something else until I actually listened to the lyrics

Sick

[evoke1988]

if im not/like santa claus i'll fight for the cause

[suppcutayyy]

Tight...

[Turbojonny5]

This guy got great stuff!!! i wish i would have knew about him much earlier.

[max11man]

@Turbojonny5 its a group not a him...slug is the rapper and ant is the dj and earlier intheir career there was a rapper name spawn...check out overcast its their best stuff

[max11man]

hes not dead hes called Rek The Heavyweight now

[JLSRfilms]

what a good song. real shitt

[ismellaprep]

But I'm a paranoid that stays between play and work

Cautious and aware, 'cause I'm afraid of being hurt

Which brings me to the issue

And that would be this:

How often must I ask myself why I exist?

I feel like a freak, this world is a circus

Just trying to find myself as well as my purpose

good shit ^^^

Gotta love Atmosphere. Minnesota w00t

[anelson96]

@ismellaprep Wooo!

[hottestguyevermade]

lucy ford one of my favorite albums!!

[alicande]

.....santa claus, it's called if i was santa claus

[ipathkilla]

This "If i was santa claus" by atmosphere off the album Lucy Ford. just letting you know.

[amexnamedluis]

"And if I did have a choice, I'd never want to live forever. Just let me have a voice so I can make my points. I can't imagine running a race with no finish line, just let me keep my pace and make to most of my time. I love giving, but I'm bad at receiving. The truth is, I'd prefer to be the one bleeding"

Amazing!

[Schatjebabey]

Indeed a hypnotic beat... Indeed deep lyrics.. This is a beautiful song....!!! My GOD. xx

[ParamnesiaFilms]

the beat is hypnotic and sick lyrics

[KoRayInc]

holy shit... deep lyrics O_O

[amandafamily303]

And if I was a smart man

I'd tell you everything that I knew

And give it to you every time you need a talking to

But what would that do?

Teach you my guidelines

So you can be a cheerleader at your game on the sidelines

This is so my pathetic life right now :(

[revlets]

well you're write about the pathetic part. youtube isnt your therapists office..  so shhh.

[Roney408]

Its also not a place to be a dick to people

[pallymeat]

Old school atmosphere, good stuff.

Sony Vegas is the shit too. I'd like to know where those visuals came from though.

[1309mw]

i ran a video capture and played it thru windows media player and recorded one of the "visualizations".

[goonlover94]

fraps ?

[ilikesteamgames]

@1309mw u did dis wit peyote too rite? well it wuz a bit different but dope noe the less. i love ur vids u really do nice visuals, SCAPEGOAT comes to mind

[RyanLDay]

@pallymeat *If I Was Santa Clause

Thought i'd put that up there to correct your title of this video.

[REZA1nr]

[rachray94]

They're going to play at outside land in East Bay California.

[coryprinzo]

he also has headshots: volume 7 that came out on an actual cd back in 2005. i guess you can call that an official release. and then he has his dynospectrum stuff and he was on deep puddle dynamics as a respective member so you can call those albums too. than all the happy/sad clown stuff and headshots even though they were cassettes.

[Matt0120]

[littleb85]

[iCaged]

[myspacecomrogiie]

[nickkrat]
