Illogic - Celestial clockwork

[goseethedoctor]

technique is wayy overrated. got no flow.

[xXPsychogenocidestXx]

The greatest rapper alive. Intricate songs so in depth, they transform and transmute into multiple stories and pictures so vivid, so brilliant, but still manages to retain his work of art. He creates such powerful messages and remains with such resonance. Having the ability to completely avoid straying and dragging of the song, making it incoherent and puerile like most artists, makes him such a magnificent artist. Truly a work of art, and a master at his work. Illogic, should be heard globally.

[ctophman1]

How can I buy and support his album? I can't find it for sale anywhere.

[TheKatieluther]

hell yeah! i need this hiphop just to get me by!

[MrrJmastaP]

hey everybody check my channel my out for some fresh new beats. I would greatly appreciate it

[FRADjr]

Regards to the video: im picking up this album.

Regards to myself: scope my channel i make beats, it may not be your average hip hop beat but ik i have a style. its real abstract stuff so listen with caution!

[TigerMuskie08]

Wow this entire song; lyrically, and the beat just blew me away.

"Fish in the pond can't understand the concept of dry land

So they swim aimlessly unbeknown to the purpose of which I stand"

I've never heard that before. The man is a lyrical genius. The fact the he can put so many lines in one song and each one of them have a deeper meaning and metaphor just blows me away. This song is superb. A 10/10 rating would be an understatement

[adonZor]

seriously.... I cry when I listen to this song.

[Norfnorfnwo248]

so good!

[Omeed911]

As always, Ill and logical.

[SkyBarMan]

i dont think he's a great rapper (IN TERMS OF DELIVERY) but by far an outstanding lyracist

[qwerty118678]

I love rap like Illogic or Aesop rock, it's just so damn relaxing.

[Omeed911]

@qwerty118678 Do you think they should be a duet?

[ungermax]

@Omeed911 they have and the song is "one brick"

[MrCablife]

4 people are running laps in a stable.

and this is amazing.

[ChristianWatts1984]

@MrCablife

You missed the impact this line has. Illogic is the thorough-bred.

[chanlovesshea]

"Fish in a pond can't understand the concept of dry land so they swim aimlessly.. Unbeknownst to the purpose of which i stand".... enjoy that line its very interesting to hear the different interpretations people have.. makes me wonder if a higher being looks at us like fish in a pond with no concept of dry land... just swimmin aimlessly ;)

I like boobies

[LiveFastFadez]

concocted by purities twisted sister.

[3bdooTube]

If I liked this, what else would I like by this artist and others?

[XanderBBo]

@3bdooTube

Prolyphic & Reanimator - Two Track Mind ( Listen to this song! )

Sadistik

Qwel

Sage Francis

[MrShadyJeff]

@XanderBBo Qwel? That a member of Typical Cats because I know they have songs called like Qwelloquialisms and weird stuff like that.

[XanderBBo]

@MrShadyJeff He's dope.

On Typical Cats he's more of a punchline rapper.

On his solo stuff he's just dope.

Listen to Qwel - Broken Wing or any of his solo songs and if you like it I'll tell you his best albums.

Links are hard to find so I uploaded (What I think are) his 3 best albums, so other people can hear them.

[TheJW84]

no one compares with him

[cheatedxxhearts]

Would anyone possibly know what that clip is from at the end w/ the two ladies talking?

[idealjaler]

great song

[FlabbyDwarf]

Amazing lyricism!

[dm1x]

2:55

[netteam4]

style reminds me of deltron 3030

[UndeadChocob0]

He reuses words from this song in other songs...like "throroughbreds" in 1000 Whispers and "celestial" in One Brick (Aesop Rock ft. Illogic). Not really anything bad, just something I noticed.

[Clockw0rk858]

@UndeadChocob0 everyone does that dude.

[ReaLizZe7]

@UndeadChocob0 It's called recycling

[UndeadChocob0]

That voice at the end sounds like the same voice from one of Blockhead's songs...

[sunsformarion]

i never got this understood this song till i listened to it high

deep shit

[pimdoodle]

@sunsformarion first time i listened i was fuckin trippin, seeing sounds and shit after many many bowls

[Bluntpuff]

lovely..nice beat too

[turtlekicker]

Fish in a pond can't understand the concept of dry land, so they swim aimlessly, unbenounced to the purpose of which I stand. Don't ask a question, if you don't want the answer given time is an illustrious liquor of the candle which ceases to flicker.

That, is original my friends.

[EricSchwin22]

Not a lot of Hip Hop artists use beats like this....Illogic is unique because he uses different beats that are just out of this world man, it's like tapping into both your conscious and subconscious mind at the same time. illogic to me is one of the most intelligent creative rappers period...I think it's sad that most people overlook this artist.

[IncrediblyCompName]

@EricSchwin22

Man, if you like beats, Check Nujabes or Fat jon. Those two have beats that really speak to you, and usually without even having words.

[sourTRON]

@IncrediblyCompName cant forget Flying Lotus.

[IncrediblyCompName]

@sourTRON

Haven't heard of him (or them, whatever.) I'll be sure to look them up. Thanks.

[sourTRON]

@IncrediblyCompName no prob... hes a good find. judging by names you said i think you might like him.

[fresharmin]

.. first time i listen to his sound .. and i felt in love :) it's jus'amazin' :)

[BritishWhiskey]

Super song! :)

[porkyoak]

@ Puggwarrior I know what you mean but he probably wouldn't be as conscious as he is if he were rich.

[valeo626]

i thought most people have never heard of sun ra lol

[valeo626]

lady gaga has nothing on sun ra

[Puggwarrior]

I didn't say she was, what I was trying to get across is that nobody's listening to rap (any kind) and they're listening to lady gaga instead, which is, as you said, not rap

[helbman]

Yo, its my first time hearing this dude and hes DEEP. I dunno why i haven't heard of him before

[BULLSFAN12345]

HES FUCKING SICK

[HueyPJewton]

TRULY conscious rap

[TrippJRB]

holy fuck..this is the first time ive listened to him, he's bad as hell as good or better than immortal techinque

[TheJW84]

@TrippJRB i love immortal technique and i used to think dance with the devil was the best song ever but hate in a puddle and his body of work makes tech look like an ametuer

[STATiKoSHOKo]

@TheJW84 did you really just compare them?? wtf...

[vicktrimethylene]

@TrippJRB dude, you would like resident anti hero he's even better

[XanderBBo]

@TrippJRB Immortal Technique is whack...

He can't stay on beat, horrible breath control and his subject matter is all ludicrous conspiracy theories.

[Cheerios11992]

@TrippJRB He is more of a lyricist than Technique, immortal is a little more MC-ish beat focused stuff. I think

[mnvinn]

@TrippJRB You'd seriously compare two underground rappers who don't rap about anything alike? They're both good, and they both spit the truth

[MrBiace]

@TrippJRB I'd Understand Aesop rock related comparison, but IT, they are too different dude.

[irenic88]

thoroughbreds disoriented from running laps in a stable, loss of direction sparks the search for a map in the fable.... wow

[Puggwarrior]

absolutely brilliant

this is what hip-hop should've been.

[insistedcoincidences]

*can be

[Puggwarrior]

rap is dead now, everyone's listening to that Lady Gaga stuff now

[TCmoru]

Yea its a shame what passes as rap these days. most mainstream rappers these days don't even rhyme.

[dorceforce]

Clearly it isn't dead when you still have REAL mc's like this

[Puggwarrior]

yeah, but it's a damn shame he's broke as fuck

[Rider222]

I've listened to this song for about four months now and still have yet to become tired of it. Excellent work!

[nprlove1]

Love this song. What great lyrics.

[fingerlickinlyrics]

[rollituphomie]
