Atmosphere - Mama Had a Baby and his Head Popped Off

[humblebest]

I think elements of this song suggest that it's about a girl getting an abortion and how it affected him and his life's path

"Mama had a baby and his popped off/Give it up, turn it loose for the sake of life/If I knew now what I knew then I would make her my wife...

Hurtin that I didn't learn the words until after the fact of the matter/As a matter of fact I doubt that I'll ever even try to work it out to having her back"

imo

[kwkable11]

Did anyone realize that he is using an Isley Brothers sample? They flipped this really well. The sample is "Sensuality" by The Brothers Isley. Peace.

[brymima]

love this beat

[CMautalen]

Its about his life man, he is the baby...its a metaphor!

[kwkable11]

@CMautalen Thanks a lot for the explanation.. It went over my head a little bit. Nevertheless, this song is a jam. I think my head popped off, by I reattached it!

[kwkable11]

Can anyone tell me what the fuck this song is about? I love Atmosphere's music, and this song is fire. But I can't stand listening to a song and not know what the fuck it means. Thanks.

[redrums911]

@TairyHesticles slug has that Modern Mans Hustle

[kidOppertunity]

I came here to see what NerdzRL was talking about...

[mattbee101]

If i haven't learned nothing, Then I've learned A lot MaMa had a baby and it's head popped off!!

[pencilgoboom]

eminem had a song where mama had a baby and his head popped off was the chorus, I woder why they used the exact same lyrics for a small part.

[420BOYStv]

@pencilgoboom cuz eminem str8 jacked his shit lol

[F1zhsTourturedSoul]

@pencilgoboom i remember when i was little kids would say that before decapitating a dandelions

[ReadThisBelow]

This is one of the best songs by Atmosphere, listen to it high and you will understand how well he flows and how good the lyrics is

[jacksok2]

Mama Had a Baby and his Head Popped Off

[PUROBROWN818]

the title of this song made me laugh

[kristensong]

man fuck slug hes shit too demonic for me

wake up America lucy ford as in Lucifer

fuck this i kneaw there was a reason I didn't like him

really is being a mc about being a sinner and being proud of it

fucking shame

listen to some revolutionary shit

[kristensong]

man fuck slug hes shit too demonic for me

wake up America lucy ford as in Lucifer

fuck this i kneaw there was a reason I didn't like him

really is being a mc about being a sinner and being proud of it

fucking shame

[sluggle]

i love all the people who say they don't like where Atmosphere is now... this is a dude's life-- he gets to bring it wherever he wants. stop attaching yourself to something external. sean doesn't give a fuck what others think of him because he's empowering his own life. consider doing the same in your life.

[kristensong]

empowering? i saw him live he had a broken leg and was piss off cause no one was clapping to his shitty satanic beats

so i think empower means drinking and felling depress about life

and not were you want to be in life

then yeah hes empowering him self

[NinjaNoob90]

yeah i dont care to much for atmosphere its ok i mean hes got some good on key lryics but what is he really talking about?

i feel as hes a lil lost in his life and need to find his identity

he a lil to hostile for me

just another wack MC withs a good flow

[arker263]

@NinjaNoob90 No shit. pretty much everyone is lost, that's why the music makes sense. If you claim not to be lost, than you probably have life figured out and life without surprises just ain't life. You're just another wack listener with an opinion.

[kristensong]

@arker263 this white kid aint hip hop just some dood who know the basis of poetry

and QQ about shit in hid life an puts a simi good beat to it

[kristensong]

@NinjaNoob90 so true he need to get his life back on the right track and find god

and know who he is,not this persona he created for him self

[arker263]

@kristensong Damn you have nothing better to do than hate on Slug. I think your dumbass needs to get your life together, or get a life first. You obviously don't know good music. Stop trying to empower your internet persona you little bitch.

[sluggle]

@arker263 please don't feed the trolls.

someone who posts nearly ten msgs within one hour clearly has a mental deficiency. feel sorry for them. they need help.

[arker263]

@sluggle Good advice,thanks guy.

[iwasHereretard]

WHAT IS THIS SONG ABOUT

[kristensong]

@iwasHereretard his ex and his devotion to Lucifer

and how he cant find a way to get his life together

[RedSnippet]

i love this song but it always reminds me of eminem nowadays.

[dylanscottellis]

havent heard this one before, one of the faves now

[ashleyoctopus123]

and this is for the love we found and the love we lost :))

[jaeeTRE]

thaat " 6,6,6 in thee morninggg .. " shit kindaa throws me offf .

but slugg is still an amazingg lyricist .

[kristensong]

@jaeeTRE ewww not me he had a pcak with the devil lucy ford???

[NityGritzLOD]

dude, what makes slug real is that fact that he is brutally honest about himself & his lifestyle. if you cant understand the metaphors i guess you'll always think slug is fake. for the rel heads though, the hip hop heads that have followed slug + ant (atmosphere) from the beginning, those people understand it all too well, why do you think they keep checking for him? cos he's real

[paralyzingkings87]

i fucking love this song... been skating around town listening to lucy ford

[outlawdking]

@paralyzingkings87 thats the way to do it man

[gabrideen]

I really don't like Atmosphere, but this song is SICK!!!!!

[rhettpeter83]

love this album, it's pure poetry

[Johnsojaco]

pride of mpls....SOUTHSIDE IS MY RESTING PLACE!

[JJJUICEBOX]

@Johnsojaco Minnesnowta?

[mannysofresh27]

whats this song about?

[Alexisdiana03]

Atmosphere is my life.. Its all I listen too.

Craziest Rhymes Ever.

[bboyoneart]

this is myfucking son dogg and my song. best album. have any of you guy/girls heard the new ep from atmosphere its pretty fucking freesh

[bigflufybalz]

Yea "Leak At Will"

Atmosphere never gets old

=]

[bboyoneart]

fuck na he never will:)

[Tschaba]

@bboyoneart not yet... damn!

[025Assassin25]

666 in the morning

[riseagainstneverdie]

hard time for me right now!

and atmosphere has helped me through out the way!

thank you slug.

[dagster11]

Atmosphere are just straight up musical geniuses.

[Batosai420]

Theez beetz tight, dawg!

[CiscoNast]

This beat is one of the best beats atmosphere has made.

[Nobody760]

nah dude.....ants got mad shit

[punchNathan]

you do have to respect slug's lyrical evolution. as much as i love the absolute rawness of Overcast or the abysmal poetic-ness of God Loves Ugly, slug is still slug.

i still enjoyed Lemons. not a favorite, but a Sunday afternoon jam.

[TairyHesticles]

True. Lemons is great music for when you've had a bad day and you've drank a bit too much.

Like the Rest of Us is one of my fav Atmosphere songs to date.

[AssholePatrol]

@TairyHesticles

Lemons is my favorite album >=)

I don't know why so many atmosphere fans dislike it.

[nekrokosmos]

slug is a god nothing less

[chris1234p]

You guys need to realize that all musical groups, especially the best ones that are around for a long time, grow and change over time. There are so many variables involved in life and creating music, it would be impossible for slug/ant to make 1000s of songs over the course of 15+ years and have them all be accepted as equal masterpieces.

[technician83]

agree, i hate to say it but, life gives you lemons is probably my least favorite cd(by atmosphere). was really looking forward to it. but i like the self hate, bad clown, good clown shit they have been making.

[DavidCross]

i hate this kind of hip hop- self absorbed white kids acting all fuckin' world weary and pretending they're 'crazy from all this hustling'. i call bullshit- you're white and grew up in the upper midwest.

[TairyHesticles]

Please explain to me where Slug ever claimed to hustle.

Slug is an upper midwest white kid, just as you claim...so what should he rap about? Guns? Sex? Violence? Would that make him real or just another emcee telling lies on the mic to enhance his appeal?

I call bullshit on 90 percent of rappers, but there's no bullshit in Slug's lyrics. He is a bit too emotional at times, but his songs have true substance.

Self-absorbed is making every song on your album an ego trip.

[BeaverTrax]

@TairyHesticles You are exactly correct. His lyrics are about his emotions and his life. He's not out there sayin he's a bad ass or that he sells more rocks than anyone else. Slug is one of the realest mc's out there now a days, and it's needed in a day in time where Gucci's and Wayne's are everywhere.

[outlawdking]

@TairyHesticles very true, the only song where ull find slug rapping about all the girls he gets and what a pimp he is is "the stick up" and near the end he stops the rap and calls him self out on it. good song

[kristensong]

agreed he has skills and on key lyrics

but personal hes not my favorite MC, i do care for about 7 of his songs but other then that cant relate to him in any way so i don't fell his music

but non the less simi original

btw if you like midd west rap try some curvin he a christen rapper but his beats and flows some what remind me of atmospheres work

mayb cause there form the same side

but yeah slug cool just not my fave i enjoy immortal technique more

im not dissing and not compering..

[oblivionspyder]

@TairyHesticles pimp black dad white mom :P to be exact not that it really matters but your point is right

[jacksok2]

@oblivionspyder his dad was black? I thought his dad was mixed?

[SkullandBoneZ101]

@TairyHesticles it was soooo nice hearing Slug in the background and reading your comment, thank you :)

[technician83]

huh? its music dude. theirs always one of the douchebag crew taht feels they have to take time to listen and criticize. why can't you just shut the fuck and listen? i call bullshit on you, malibu most wanted fucker.

big ups to the douchebag crew!!.... represent....

[haileys519]

@DavidCross I hate people who spend their days looking up music that they don't like and listening to it and making negative comments about it. Like do you have a life??

Go look up Lil' Wayne or something and enjoy it...no one cares

[pencilgoboom]

@DavidCross umm slug is half black so can he make half this music and half some other genre or should he do something else mr almighty davidcross

[JN5B11]

@DavidCross don't spend time hating real rappers. If your going to hate self absorbed white wigger rappers, hate Grieves. grieves is the douche that grew up in the midwest and tries to act like immortal technique

[TheMusicDo0d]

@JN5B11 i dont seee how Grieves acts like Immortal Technique xD

[Logicalpsycho2323]

i wonder if EMINEM too this line for EVIL DEEDS.

?????? maybe.

[LemonPartier]

I've thought about that too. Probably.

[DSQrn]

I could see Lemons man, but You Cant Imagine How Much Fun We're Having is one of their best albums.

I dunno, time will tell.

[mythx03]

atmosphere so fuckin whack but this beat is hot

[TairyHesticles]

Atmosphere was a great group up until Recently.

[gangstasmurf06]

...You didn't like lemons?

[TairyHesticles]

Not really. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad but just kind of bland. It seems like each of his CD's get a tiny bit worse.

It would never call it a "bad" CD, but its not great like their first few CD's.

[vanhalen901]

atmospheres lyrics are really fucken wierd but their beats are hot

[pandemonium13]

One of the first songs of Atmosphere's I've ever heard. Thank you so much!
