Atmosphere - 1597

[goldierules1]

Love you SEAN MICHAEL DALEY!!!:D

[goldierules1]

Eminem sucks sorry I just had to say it cuz ppl think so highly of him when all of slug's or atmosphere's song tell a great story in EVERY ONE of his songs and what the flip does eminem do??? He just tries to make rap flow but it never does so he sucks my point proven and slug and ant you guys are amazing!!!:D

[Cmenomore905]

Best Atmosphere song ever!!!!!

[LustForLife27]

Step within Slug's Psychoanalysis.

[method40blazeya]

etc this is disgusting wow sickkkkkkkk

[barbariceric121]

Good Memories to this shit! This is my shit. Favorite rap album of all time. No lie

[SuckmyErsela19]

@xxxpyro817xxx yes, you're quite right. Slug's voice rapes us all. But its not rape if we like it, right?

[sitrep15]

one of the dopest fuckin songs by Atmosphere and Slug can rip shit up

[G00F1E]

slim and slug to VERY ill mathafukkas with a different but similar flow

[dyingangelo]

we swarm with the bees and diseases

and even if your deejay was Jesus, you could never fuck with these kids

[ashrok1982]

"We swarm with the bee's and diseases and even if your DJ was Jesus you couldn't fuck with these kids!"

AMAZING!

[silentmusik333]

from the first moment i had ever heard atmosphere to now, he has become the most favorite, respected, and admired artists i have ever known. Slug will never die, because his words can't.

[BassHead3600]

these are some of the best lyrics i've ever heard

[TechFXpunk]

Is it just me or does It sound like Eminem may have some Atmosphere influence in his flow

[Tytyshortfry]

@TechFXpunk HMM PERHAPS, YES

[MarsRecordLabel]

@TechFXpunk Don't even try. Eminem started in 1996 with Infinite, and has been rapping for a while before that. Eminem's amazing. Slug is awesome too.

[TechFXpunk]

@MarsRecordLabel Well damn I just got owned by Captain Wikipedia! Infinite and The Slim Shady LP both sound very much different then some of the shit he did in The Eminem Show and Encore which some songs hey have a slug kinda flow to them

[magua4]

@TechFXpunk shut the fuck up. plenty of people know about Eminem's album Infinite without looking it up on wikipedia. i hate it when people try to act like they are one step ahead when they're really just a smug little bitch.

[TechFXpunk]

@magua4 Well I got someone mad :)

[thisguyiscool69]

he's too damn underrated....really fucking sux!

[4HiPPie2PoWer0]

@thisguyiscool69 no hes independent. hes not underrated mannny people love him. just cus he's not mainstream does not mean hes underrated

[TechFXpunk]

@4HiPPie2PoWer0 Atmosphere is still underrated for the amount of skill he brings

[LoveNataliee]

i looooooove you slug ,

[AngstyMeierLink]

wow... fuckin hilarious how many haters on this shit. I bet Sean is laughin his ass off at all you dick up your ass motherfuckers

[CantStopAlan]

HHHATTERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS­SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!

[LIZARDTRIBE]

who the fuck could dislike this shit?

[SuckmyErsela19]

i would rape Slug's voice<3

[xxxpyro817xxx]

@SuckmyErsela19 but it just raped us all

[spinelle77]

They never disappointed me once

[ch3tty]

the family sighn: this guy is deep weather its rap or not

[Anarchy15Peace]

Atmosphere at its rawest

[Note328]

slugg is a ill character!!

[virusjc1]

This is the first Atmosphere song that I heard way back in 1999, when I was 13 years old. I was skating in those days, so I was introduced to Atmosphere by the video VG10 Metro. I then proceeded to download a few songs off of Napster, and from that point on I have made it a point to purchase every album. These last 12 years have been a wild ride. A hell of a lot of memories have Atmosphere playing in the background.

[wedontluvdemhos7]

@virusjc1 that pretty much sums up my experience with it. only my first introduction to this album was part of a prize package i won in a fobia skate contest. back in the day it was alot of fun to go to shows. but now a days not so much...

[philx00]

@virusjc1

Same damn thing here.

[CMLaneLV]

@virusjc1 All of my memories with atmosphere playing in the background consist of drugs, sleezy neighborhood hoes that would come drink with us and fuck, and trashed apartments in the bad parts of Las vegas...

GOD I MISSS BEING A KID! Kinda miss drugs sometimes too ;)~

Least I still got atmosphere and good memories

[efrainthegreat]

boom headshot! shots to your head!

[chespinator90000]

stay dope-atmosphere

[GuamChamorro671]

One of the "Sickest" intro verses ever! "Hence forwarth, step into my psycho-analysis the calices on my mind make me strain for my lines...Out I ripped it!" _Slug

[sickofitall915]

first atmosphere song i've ever heard been a fan since

[Ace996432]

[TurntheMusicUp86]

[hdg9790]

wayne doesn't have people write his shit.. prove it idiot.. wayne is sickk.. he is a production machine.. slug is sickk too.. in his own way.. he's real..

[maitreya9ify]

Slug will live forever. He is an icon. I was walking down the street the other day and and this 15 year old neighbor asked where I was from and I told her (Greater Minneapolis until I was 22) and she asked if I knew of Atmosphere. I told her my story of how I met Sean on Franklin Ave. and she went crazy. Slug preceded M and M, just so you know, and if anything, Em got his juice from Slug's supermarket.

[dapoedog]

@maitreya9ify I was just about to upload this great track check my channel i got some beyond comparison stuff there

[maitreya9ify]

Gimme some Sad Clown Bad Dub II and we'll be rockin'!

I don't know who you are, but ,sweet! The whole Overcast shit is what made me dig deeper... oh I am checkin my man...

[QwertyMandarin]

Haha sounds like eminem..

[efrainthegreat]

@QwertyMandarin nooo???

[VICTOR7oh2]

[domestic57]

[thekillaclan203]

@domestic57

[domestic57]

@thekillaclan203 naw i was joking

[thekillaclan203]

@domestic57

thats a relief! lol.

[efrainthegreat]

@domestic57 dude, are you a fuckin retard. lil wayne doesnt write his raps btw, he has people write them for him. plus, half the time lil wayne is autotuned which is really gay. Slug is on a whoooole different level than lil wayne. nuff said

[4HiPPie2PoWer0]

@domestic57 ive never seen anything as ridiculous as that comment

[domestic57]

@4HiPPie2PoWer0 lil wayne better than slug

[tune1r]

@domestic57 lil wayne raps what his told to. slug raps about life. how can u compare the two

[domestic57]

@tune1r i apologize if i offended you. it was a joke .i know aint no comparison between them two, slug is a emcee and lil wayne is a mendacious rapper 

[4HiPPie2PoWer0]

@domestic57 NEVER mann.

[MonstaaBee11]

Nothing OR no one can EVER replace Atmosphere NOR compare ! ;D

[Fluxd678]

this beat is unbelievably simple. he as early as this was, it shows he really had something to say.

[caspermalik305]

this is the type of rap people underrate these days in my generation...

[Vemp1re777]

spawn's part is DOPE!

[gehlhoff]

@jimtactical If you can't spell meaningless you've got lack of a 2nd grade education.

[sherwood95]

@gehlhoff If you can't correctly put a sentence together, nor use grammar in it's most simple form- than you lack basic knowledge of the English language. Don't rely on spelling errors to defend yourself in an argument, it's juvenile, and does nothing to emphasize the point you are trying to get across.

[lambdineonpriest]

@sherwood95 *its.

When denoting possession, the apostrophe is absent,

so know your own lesson before you obnoxiously act pissed.

[rockforddd]

@sherwood95 nor use grammar in its* most simple form

[Alvarado1957]

evreybodyy should justt shut the fuck up and listen to the flowws

[hsinogolf]

Looking for a song from somewhere in 2001... it goes "Let it rain let rain let it rain. Let the water flow off my brain...(something something something) and let it realize what it contains(?)..." Can anyone help?

[nuubian]

@hsinogolf "Let it rain, let it rain, let the water run off of the brain / Let the drops hit my shoulders and leave permanent stains" It's Slug's verse from Deep Puddle Dynamics - Rainmen. Youtube v=EsHr1YwQ-TE

[hsinogolf]

@nuubian Sweet...that's it..thanks...

[hsinogolf]

@nuubian One more song I'm looking for: It goes - "I can do it I can do it say yes i can, i can do it i can do it cause that's the plan." The guy had a British accent...Thanks

[dustinbonesvt7]

Wicked song, I like his new stuff, fell off cuz he added a classy guitarist and more natural sounds then some turn tables and maybe alternating lyrical styles here and there for the simple fact that change happens in all so embrace and ride the wave, there still independent underground and that's all I truly care about the image cuz this sound factory pumps out fresh Noise to Our Cosmos

[ftblllax12]

@6ixeight6ix your fucking gay

[MrDefTankstah]

@6ixeight6ix lol i know right

[YaBoyCaesar]

@6ixeight6ix And then Wolf and The Remedy took the title :)

[Jolumarrr]

@6ixeight6ix yes.. just,... fucking yes!! ><

[satydope1]

faget ass

[Jolumarrr]

@satydope1 you mad?

[jbomb895]

@6ixeight6ix I think you mean lyrical talent as opposed to musical talent. Music is the beat of the song, and lyrics are the words that are sung to give it meaning. Although many hip-hop artists can write good lyrics, most do not have much musical talent.

[r0flc0pterl0l]

@jbomb895 you just had to be an asshole huh? fucking tool.

[TheRealCMeta]

@jbomb895 Well, just to correct you...

Definitions of music: "The art or science of combining vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion."

or

"The art of arranging sounds in time so as to produce a continuous, unified, and evocative composition, as through melody, harmony, rhythm, and timbre."

Rappers both express beauty of form and emotion with their words which are spoken in rhythm to the beat... So what's your point?

[TheRealCMeta]

@jbomb895 And just so you know, the voice IS an instrument!

[jbomb895]

@TheRealCMeta The voice maybe, but not lyrics. Written words cannot make sounds you see.

[roydawg78]

@6ixeight6ix you deff dont deserve top comment for that stupid shit

[ibmxjacob]

@6ixeight6ix ...... dont take jokes and change them

[Ram8354]

I jizz when he says atmosphere.

check out new midwest hip hop

atmosphere big influence on my music

[666cracker123]

The sky presents an eternally unfolding spectacle:

One moment puffs of cumulous clouds get across it

and next a billowing thunderhead

perhaps 10 miles high looms over the horizon

probing the structure of the sky...

Why try?

[gehlhoff]

@DiagramOfTruth exactly. I've watched that interview myself.

[TheeJayzik]

Probably one of the best Lyrical masterpiece's in the Hip Hop Genre.

[SexxyKevin]

MUSIC GETS ME AMPED... WHO NEEDS COFFEE?!

[RapSince99Sucx]

sick

[GetKush]

@TwoFiveOhProductions I doubt that

[PlaystationTR3Y]

can anyone upload this instrumental pleasee!?

[gehlhoff]

@hockey91ninjawarrior I can grasp what slug is trying to get across in Overcast.. but a lot of it was simply "yo i can spit sick rhymes, better than you." He grew up from that. MAYBE, just maybe, that's why he broke shit off with Spawn. He wanted to go a new direction, which we see less and less of that "battle rap" in his songs as time goes forwards.

[gehlhoff]

@Cuntsmuggaler when did I ever mention that I didn't enjoy the music? Stfu for joining a conversation you have no reason being in.

[gehlhoff]

@keyonte0 I didn't like "To All My Friends" when I first heard it. But now I love it. Same with Overcast. Atmosphere's been like that for me. First time I hear an album i think it's "okay" or "pretty dope". But then I give it another listen and I pick up on 120 different points I didn't recognize the first time.

[JayZilla306]

i swarm with the bees and diseases....

[robjamesharrison]

does anybody know what happend to spawn?

[whatsyoureyedea]

@robjamesharrison hes known as rek the heavyweight now,

[poorfa4s]

@whatsyoureyedea and he'll never be as good as he was in this song ever again

[JFriszz]

dope

[cadalynfool]

BEETHOVEN : ]]

[foreignatmosphere]

its terrible. ew, it sounds like a vinyl

[bkizzell]

@foreignatmosphere it's the way it should sound...hip hop was birthed from vinyl

[33Hotson]

why does this song remind me of bioshock ?

[KillYoSelf777]

@33Hotson cause its a maniacal, hopeless, ill fuck your face up up, sort of atmosphere. like, ill destroy your brain for smiling. or your just scared of it lol. jkjk, but really, fuck this song for being real, ya know?

"queeeeezed the brain it made some liquid

What A Fucking Instrumental!

[ToXiCDGKRIDER]

even if your dj was Jesus you could never fuck with these kids

FreSh

[HolyCheeseBalls]

I Just Wet Myself!!!! (Joke)

[Joeytronlol]

Haha the wind and strings in this song are taken from Beethoven's 3rd symphony

[GMunny5]

@RupturEandDtox1 "now he's tackling more meaningful things."

wha....more meaningful things??....in the majority of his newer songs, his subject matter is about nothing but whining over girls....or depression in some sense...

His past albums where clearly better overall lyrically, with a more abstract subject. More effort was clearly put into them.....have you not heard "The Dynospectrum" or "Deep Puddle Dynamics".......no albums slug has released after 2001 are up to caliber...not even close...

[juelz714cali]

"you tried take what's not your but 'cha couldn't

take mine, your fake rhymes - spit them you shouldn't"- Spawn

good shit

[bboytobz332]

the fuck happened to spawn?

[GMunny5]

@bboytobz332

Rek the Heavyweight...

[JudahhF]

spawn so raw

[GMunny5]

this is the Slug i miss.....not the one from Seven's travels....or anything after 2001...

[menareverynice]

@GMunny5 wieerdddd....

[GMunny5]

@menareverynice "wieerdddd...."

i'm sorry, but i have no idea what your trying to say?....is that even a word?

[brutt407]

a spawn gets down in da end 2

[shroom3r]

Hey like 1/4 of his rhymes make sense (:

[slackerethic]

@gehlhoff ...dude ur exactly right. overcast is amazing. but so is the new shit. 

[Hawks2318]

badass song to get high to.

[gehlhoff]

I hate when people say that Overcast was so amazing, and Atmosphere went way downhill from there. I think Overcast is dope. But the fact is Slug grew the fuck up from all "Ima tear this beat up and rhyme as much meaningless words together as possible" and leaned more towards "I'ma make some shit that MEANS something". If you can't respect a rappers progression as an artist, then don't listen.

[LuCaRiOfan94]

gotta disagree with you man. i respect your opinion and i agree slug has only gotten better since overcast but i still feel overcast is atmospheres strongest album. and the lyrics here are not meaningless. aesop rock is a rapper who spits meaningless nonsense. theres a meaning to each song of overcast. i think the problem is that the lyrical content is very abstract but at the same time the beauty of that kind of music, and music itself, is how WE interpret it. and overcast just works your mind

[gehlhoff]

@LuCaRiOfan94 True. I shouldn't have used the word meaningless. Well put sir. And couldn't agree with you more about Aesop. Hahah

[bosssoundbob]

@gehlhoff amen!!! all of his shit is dope!!!

[Scootie2633]

@gehlhoff Just because you think he's rhyming a bunch of meaningless words doesn't mean he is. It means something to him...and it means a million different things to people who interpret them however they feel which is one of the amazing things about music. Although I do agree that overcast is FUCKING AWESOME He does progress into a more direct deliverer.

[lifian1]

@gehlhoff i love all there shit but you cant call overcast meaningless shit, in my oppinion best album

[Ace996432]

@gehlhoff N00b. His new shit pales in comparison to Overcast and Lucy Ford. I won't even listen to his shit nowadays, it's garbage. Hip-hop, especially underground, is about metaphors, similes, ambiguous statements, and rhyming. Most MC's fall off as they continue their careers - they lose their passion. Compare Eminem's song Infinite to his shit now, same concept.

[JasonGrantWP]

@gehlhoff it's not so much meaningless words that rhyme, but a more subtle delivery. he's not saying "what is the point of trying to become the worlds greatest MC" in plain language, but listen to the metaphors in each of his lyrics.

Why try?

The sky presents an eternally unfolding spectacle:

One moment puffs of cumulus clouds scatter across it

and next a billowing thunderhead

perhaps 10 miles high looms over the horizon

probing the structure of the sky...

Why try?

is the theme of Overcast..

[keyonte0]

@gehlhoff Ant gets a new extremely distinct technique ever 2 years and wears it out. That's the problem I have. "To all my friends" sounds too much like that "Us" album he did with Brother Ali.

[MrLurkk]

@gehlhoff Ah I agree with you, and I like all of atmosphere's music, BUT, atmosphere became ant. What happened to spawn?

[arker263]

@FatPointScheme Than why listen you fucking dumbass!

[CUNTSMUGGALER]

@gehlhoff stfu and just enjoy the muzik or make something better u homo

[hockey91ninjawarrior]

@gehlhoff Slug wasn't just rhyming as meaningless words together as possible, just because you may not be able to grasp his earlier music doesn't mean he was just spitting random shit.

[APoachingPandaone]

@gehlhoff

Word bro, even slug himself said that he felt he was trying too hard with this album, he really wanted recognition.....which he got. And like wine and whiskey this mc is just getting better and better with age.

[gehlhoff]

@APoachingPandaone Thank you for understanding what I'm saying. Haha

[GoMattC]

@gehlhoff most definitely, but overcast was still an awesome album

[gehlhoff]

@GoMattC Couldn't agree with you more. Just got it on vinyl.

[halo239]

@gehlhoff i dont know why you have so many thumbs up, its all about opinions, overcast is a GREAT album , the production is top notch and the lyrics are amazing. meaningless words? are you fucking stupid? shut the fuck up clown. everything atmosphere has made is good. there is no album that is better than any other its all opinions, this is the history of atmoshpere, where it all started out, back when spawn and stress were around, back when headshots was a group, u dont respect this album?FUCKU

[ebenepe]

@gehlhoff that's kind of true, I think what makes overcast good is the progression you're talking about. Take "adjust" or "scapegoat" for example, they kind of lean in the new direction.

[PlaystationTR3Y]

@gehlhoff yup he even said does exact words in a interview he did...

[TMF1331]

@gehlhoff FUCK YEAH DUDE!! Im so glad someone else has a brain
