Open Your Eyes ( Historian Himself on the Summer Cypher beat by Spike Roscoe )

[lllzenithlll]

i come back to this song every so often. its an inspiring track

[TheSinOfLust312]

Incredible respect for your flow and vocabulary. Earth Beasts Awaken was a great album. Thundering Earth Beast Technique is probably your best song (or at least in my opinion). Keep doing what you do man, the thing you do so well.

[badsadhu]

i have no idea how many times i've watched this. downloaded your stuff about a year ago. quickly made its way onto my playlist for running through the woods.

[SolomonMozart]

Peace, lord...

[wiiagent]

cool

[S1W2E3D]

fucking..

[dRty88]

Open your eyes

[CrypticCloud]

dude i dont like rap but dude..ur shit is amazing forreal, it sucks your not virally famous yet =/

[ninthjake]

I don't know what you call this type of rap but MAN, it's good =D

[Svinq]

@ninthjake abstract rap ;)

[Railenthe]

@Svinq This.

I wasn't sure what to categorize this as but abstract rap works. I don't even usually listen to rap, but THIS, I like. =D

[KeepContact1]

can you post lyrics man, this is pure awesome!!!

[Svinq]

make more albums

[blarah10]

was lady inspired by this beat for her poker face song? they sound similar.

[HistorianHimself]

@blarah10

No. The guy who made the beat and started the cypher (spikeroscoebeats) sampled Poker Face.

[blarah10]

@HistorianHimself ohh i see. how interesting. well it's rather well done.

[CTSSTC]

Man your music videos are awesome but so is the music, they are just the frosting on the cake.

You deserve more thumbs up

feel sorry for the two that down'd you

I love how you comment back to your posters, but I know as youtubers get more popular that goes away, but I'll enjoy seeing that while it lasts : )

[HistorianHimself]

@CTSSTC

don't worry i'm pretty sure my stuff lacks the broad appeal necessary to 'go viral'. so long as my viewers are good to me, i'll do my best to respond when i feel a response is merited.

[FableTunes]

this was the first song i listen to of yours...its creepy, different and i LOVE it.

subscribed man.

[TimianOfficial]

This is real nice.

[daysofbeingmild]

Hey Historian, what happened to Eat Your Vegetables? That was my favourite video on YouTube, man!

[daysofbeingmild]

Hey Historian, what happened to Eat Your Vegetables? That was my favourite video on YouTube, man!

[theyarebirds]

Hey you used to be in NUMBS?

[HistorianHimself]

@theyarebirds

i don't know what that is. So, no.

[inowerualliv]

AMAZING!!!!

[RawrtasticNerd]

O.O

Reminds me of Dr. Octagon with a mix of Aesop Rock

:o

Its very yummehliciouss :]

[StillAware]

How'd you do that video effect man? That's some third eye 20/20 refocusing right there.

[HistorianHimself]

see the blog post on my website.

[k2stypoint]

what program did you use to make this???

[MagicE5]

pretty damn good, definately a unique approach visually and your flow is pretty unique too. You sure got a lot of individuality, props.

[OtterPops22]

creative, artist, powerful, keep it up, you have a unique talent that is inspiring.

[weFLYhighBERK]

Props! this is great stuff. watched the other videos man. love it! your style reminds me of kool keith. You're probably just as good. the guy above me is right tho. you could sell these. who does your beats by the way? i'm lookin for a psychadelic type beat.

[hahanikka]

work wit me one time i have a mind that i wanna use im ill hip hop no lie i been gettin bored so toss me a beat or lets collab if you want i need motivation

[TreacherousTyler]

lmao this reminds me of flight of the conchords.

[HistorianHimself]

Really?

[Rayouni35]

BORING!!!!!!!!

[thegoldenhero]

you are amazing...you should have won

[Megaboots]

DUDE YOU'RE THE FUCKING SHIT!!

[eightbitgnosis]

You got an album I can buy?

[HistorianHimself]

Huh? I got an album you can have for free son. Hit that link in the more info detail >>>>>>>>

[eightbitgnosis]

Oh I did, and the album you put up is one of the best things I've heard in months. As for buying an album; I think you have actual talent and believe people should be rewarded for this virtue

[missuscake]

Well done

[KnoxieTy201]

:-)

<3<3

[schaedawg37]

this never gets old man

[TheDesine]

such a brilliant mind...

[Parad0xDJ]

Holy Crap...I was honest to god speechless. My ears have melted and awaken a new

[sadeq2007]

YOUR THE BEST I BELIEVE YOU WON~!!!!!!!!

at least i wish you shouldve

[SpikeRoscoeBeats]

well, it isn't a contest, but if it was I would have chose historian no doubt! haha

[bebenine]

fuckin awesome dude! Great everything... Couldn't really say 'nuff.

[fighterodoom]

hey yo historian can you do me a favor? send me the lyrics for this song i need to rap it :) cus im preety good at rapping but not as nearly as good so yeah :P

[KungFatty]

i dont care what people stink i think you are dope !! HistorianHimself *****

[kudzukaos]

I do think i have watched this a few times.. then yelled into the next room and was like you got to see this.. Thanks for the insight!

kudzukaos has been thinking outside the box for a min..

[HistorianHimself]

^^^ Hey, everyone, watch Tertiary Optic's video response! ^^^ Seriously. The shit is Wild Discovery. He put in work!!

[AnalyticalApex]

my cypher is up...posted it as response to yours... really dig the album man....when's the next come out? soon right?

[HistorianHimself]

Hey awesome! Thanks!

Haha, the NEXT album? SOON?? That all depends on what your definition of "soon" is.

I worked on Earth Beasts Awaken off and on for about 2 years... Stay tuned for music videos for several of the tracks on it though!

That said, I have started roughing out a few songs for another album, but it's going to be a while yet. I grow the things I love slowly and carefully.

[AnalyticalApex]

i got ya... thought I had read a comment announcing it...must have been mistaken...what programs do you work with? I've only started messing around with music, but I've got the set up... I just need a midi controller and a keyboard... plus a little more know how of the programs I have...it'll be a long road

Hopefully, by the time your next album is released Earth Beasts will be on store shelves...I know your not in it for the money, but people need to hear what you have to say...peace

[HistorianHimself]

I mostly use garageband.

I appreciate the sentiment, but I won't ever charge money for Earth Beasts Awaken. It will always be for free.

I can't afford to pay for music, so I don't. It would be both hypocritical and regressive of me to expect others to.

[naimad36]

this video is sick lyric's are sicker

[fighterodoom]

thiss rap uses words i dont even under stand wow how awsome man you got crazy videos i don't know why you dont have many vews.. hey dude respond to my comment please, i need to tell people about you !!!
