[300b240b360bz]

@MCJay2daSun It's called Puppets by Atmosphere.

[stone1free1]

@MCJay2daSun its called 'puppets' its off of 'paint that shit gold'

[ilikesteamgames]

[Apotheosys27]

[hcbiukhciuweewbchiew]

peope

under

the

stairs thumbs up slug

[cashdubbed]

Was that Steven Segal smokin that cig?

[Granloholmo]

@cashdubbed That's Slug, fool.

[Rorix9]

he described it perfectly, that's how it is when the music has you "I don't know if anyone else can hear this but me right now"

[julioshawtylean76]

2pac because of what he had to say may be he di not have the best flow but was very articulate and unique way of rapping and could feel his pain RIP

[sluggle]

@julioshawtylean76 i liked the dude too (2pac) but i wouldn't call him articulate. go read Walt Whitman and tell me that 2pac is articulate.

[julioshawtylean76]

@sluggle a right he is articulate he is easy to understand not like wayne not taking anything from walt

[killyourhead]

Those two songs started the notorious feud (or was it already called beef at the time) these mc's crews would have with each other. Which makes it kind of funny that Slug choses both.

search for The_Bridge_Wars on wikipedia

[killerbetch]

iilovelvoelvoelovelovelvoelove youuu seexxyy bieast.

[fatbear10]

is thats a people under the stairs sweatshirt?

[NMghost223]

slug is the shit, but right now im on an MF DOOM kick

[madvilliany1420]

@NMghost223 mf the holder of a boulder money folder

[shroom3r]

i like slug because he doesnt do gangster rap he does raps about life

[IsaiaMusic]

look at him though, he couldn't do gangsta rap if he tried haha@shroom3r

[squillysk8]

damn I hate slug with long hair.

[BCLrecords]

I dont understand how people can compare two great mcs like  tupac to slug by saying one is "better" than the other...two totally different styles..but in many ways can be equally good.... i like the option to look thru my music and depending on my mood pic wat suits me at that time.

[Naceso]

with the People Under The Stairs hoodie!

[ChurroPlayer]

atmosphere fuckin rocks =)

[HipHopPolooza]

Ant looks like a mob boss :49

[gibblesbits]

@HipHopPolooza Haha, thats what I always thought he looked like.

[Remscar]

He is. Dont tell anyone.

[shadowd969]

@HipHopPolooza ant IS a mob boss

[juggaloface235]

@shadowd969 u serious???

[Warnhammer]

@HipHopPolooza

He's pretty fucked up right there

[Gapstastic]

yo hiimsogood you obviously don't know wtf you are talking about. KRS-1 is a pioneer homie. He does know pretty much everything about the industry. dude is an ambassador of hip hop. If you've ever listened to him speak at any conference, meeting, jam etc you would understand. listen your trend rap and kick rocks sucka

[thewarriors209]

cuz he helpd start the game and dont get the recognition he deserves

[hiimsogood]

krs-one is a stupid fuck, listen to him talk during interviews, dude acts as though he knows everything about the game

[realhiphop69]

he does know everything about the game and no he isnt a stupid fuck hes one of the most intelligent dudes around

wake up

[hiimsogood]

yea, coming from somebody with the name "realhiphop69"

[TheProduct613]

I told Slug at a show once all I was listening to at one point was KRS-One .. didn't even want to listen to hiphop any more .. till I came across his shit.. I was drunk as hell and had him all trapped in a corner trying to explain my appreciation for his contribution.. after a while he just laughed.. fuck every time they came to Ottawa I always hooked them up.. The God loves Ugly tour I threw a huge joint on stage when I self Devinne was up

[courtneymarie1231]

his voice is pretty moving.

[verdaccio]

im looking for hiphop that talks about sex and relationships like slug...suggestions?

[blacksparrowsanj]

murs, chek the album together called felt its from him en slug,

and pretty much every r&b artist.

[blacksparrowsanj]

immortal technique, murs, chek his album 3:16. and the albums with slug called felt

[TheProduct613]

Yo I got some good relationship songs.. I'll hit you up .. when I post 'em

[TheProduct613]

Yo.. I got some tracks you might like.. I'll let you know when I post 'em.. I like how he says you get to know him when you listen.. (you can shut your eyes and see'em when tou listen to thier songs)

[WildKillerFox]

Phonte of Little Brother maybe, Murs is also good for talkin bout women

[phatgstats]

Im hooked on Atoms Family and Sandpeople right now. anyway to be on topic, I always loved slug's style. it annoys me tho how now it seems when i ask people if they like hip hop, they're like, "i like atmosphere!", but they dont know any others MC's or groups... Atmosphere has become hip hop for people who dont listen to hip hop ya know?

[Icemanrussian]

true, they were my introduction to real hip hop, where lyrics matter. Unlike mainstream. I was 12 and hooked on mainstream, but when I was 13, i started to look for something more important. So Atmosphere where the group. But there's always Murs, Aesop Rock, Immoral Technique, Rek the Heavy Weight(Aka Spawn from Atmosphere) Stress, The Grouch, there so many though. Also, Im only 14, 15 in Feb

[301SO]

felt 3!!!!!

[nligman]

yo, i dont know if anyone can hear this guy but me. thats how i feel about slug. he speaks to me. atmos changed my life.

[zodiak6]

Zodiak Killa is the MC's favorite mc..Chec Growth and Dvelopment,or Fuck Kanye West or Wu Tang 2009 on youtube..Zodiak is the most lyricAL...

[TheGDizzo]

MC Shan!? You have GOT to be joking! If he's picking someone from that time period... it's like Shan was barely a blip on the radar, and only because of "The Bridge".  Everybody and their Red-Headed Step-Brother had better songs.

[GoodLaxatives]

And now slug got to make a track with KRS-One... It's called we made it, and slug kills it...

[wiedies19]

wooooorrrd people under the stairs hoooooddddyy

[Dominicrocco717]

you all are bum losers.

[amexnamedluis]

Slug wearin a People Under The Stairs hoodie!

[MShepherd88]

It's cool listening to Atmosphere's music and noticing all the KRS-One/BDP samples, lyrics, or references.

[CiscoNast]

It's funny Mc Shan and KRS-ONE used to be big enemies and he lists them right after another in this video as if they werent

[brianowitsz]

It has nothing to do with him if Shan and KRS had beef. He's just listing his favorite rappers. It IS possible to like more than one side in a beef.

[fam0ussas89]

I know i go from Listening to pac to biggie all the time. It's not his beef.

[cpsievert]

Hell yea sluggo rock the P.U.T.S!

[talkinshit4fun]

WORD!...PUTS... kills it...def. sick to see he's reppin there shit..

[coolhanj]

To *LBG070*Ok, You make a great point. But you see, heres the thing. I didnt grow up in the ghetto. I have had some shit happn though, my dads suicide, I lost my wife and my kid, all within a year of eachother. So who do I have to listen to? Lil wayne talking about Guns and Drugs? Thats not whats gonna make ME feel a lil better. Slug raps about everyday kind of problems. Parents, Girls, etc. So for ME, and MOST of America, Slug raps about what we go through.

[Nicknamelessone]

Slug is wearing a "People Under The Stairs" Hoodie.

You dont know?! You better ask somebody.

[smashupradio]

ant is ALWAYS smoking a butt.... wow

[elmer4life]

sdgs

[oscaru3]

YO! is that a people under the stairs sweater???? haha if it is its maaaaaad dope

[almost401]

[TheMichaelShow]

[nancycakes5]

iLOVE u!

[olexia07]

lol his stache

[DAVID123456789000000]

hes better then tupac

[mrhapa]

fucking word.

[LBG070]

Oh come on he doesn't have nearly the experience in life where he could rap about society and life in general like pac could. Pac's flaws as a result of poverty and the corrupt society he came from are really a metaphor for hiphop in general. The beauty of hiphop is also in the circumstances it came out of. I'm white myself and I think the best rapper will never be white. White people havent experience this whole world of gangs and corruption that makes such an intruiging subject.

[JoshDTK]

To LBG070 who says that hip hop has to be about gangs and corruption, there are far broader subject's out there to speak on that are just as exciting. When you think of hip hop you think of black I suspect? Hip hop is an art form, which means that any race can partake in it and be equally is good. Hip hop shouldnt be stuck on just touching on the problems in society, why not speak about love, hate, life in general and many other things with our own twist on it. I think your being close minded

[1tazziolim]

and thats where the race point of view comes in because some people think its impossible for a white guy to come from the ghetto, or maybe that slug raps about things that aren't drugs and guns and talk about stories from his life that are put into well made poetry

[SelfAware1]

@1tazziolim i love slug but hes not white. he is thouroughly mixed.

[thenewguy11111]

@1tazziolim the thing is slug does rap about drugs and guns?

[1tazziolim]

@thenewguy11111 that's not what i said. read it again

[mbrent4235]

He grew up on the south side of minneap and that wasn't the suburbs when he grew up. Besides, he grew up with mostly black friends and some black family if you want to bring race in to it. Moreover, it was in the early 90s that hiphop and break really split in to the gangster rap commercial scene that tupac became a part of. Slug went his own way with others. No dis to Tupac, he can rap the ghetto and gangs cause that was his life. Slug thinks life is more than that.

[DainMiller]

Amen mbrent.

[JROME112]

wow your so dumb. slug isnt even full white. also why do you say the best rapper has to rap about drugs and gangs??

Also you cant say slug hasn gone through stuff in his life to say he doesnt have "experience about society and life"

dumbest comment ive ever seen

[istaahi]

ggangs dont havve shit to sdo with rap,, rap is cultural any culture could embrace it theres no one better than the next chill

[CzarThePlezer]

Its not strickly about subject matter, but rather Self expression, your talking as if slug is trying to be better than PAC, Talent and skill is not solely based on where somewhere is born, or how they present themselves, PAC was expressing himself just as slug is.

[spydr1313]

man the shit your talking about is rap..

ta the best "rapper" may never be white

but slug is by far one of the best "MC"s out there.. and still is progressing.

hes a hip hop artist a simple poet.

not rap

[Nazeer93]

i know this sounds more shocking than coming out of the closet, but i personally feel like pac is a bit overrated. he was a great artist, but when i see artists like slug, i feel pac blew up because of his death...

he's rymes were decent. dont get me wrong i think he was a GREAT artist but i dont believe that he was the greatest of all time when they're were and are so many more talented and undervalued artists out there...

[layedout72]

beautifully said.

[pothead303]

White people havent experience this whole world of gangs and corruption that makes such an intruiging subject.

really man? really? haha okay self proclaimed hip hop genious thats ignorant

[elmer4life]

yeah but dude not all of hip hop is about gangs and that stuff. hip hop is anything you want it to be, it don't matter what just happens to be the subject of the most famous artists. and yeah he will never be able to say how he wasn't given the same writes and stuff cause he's not black but it's not like racism is the only hardships you face in this life you know. plus who says he can't write about the gangs and stuff from a third person view.

FYI he's 1/4 black from his dad

Atmosfan for life

[elmer4life]

yeah but dude not all of hip hop is about gangs and that stuff. hip hop is anything you want it to be, it don't matter what just happens to be the subject of the most famous artists. and racisn aint the only hardship you face in this life. and trust me I know for a fact that white people can have just as much problems with gangs as african americans (no intention of offense to anyone)

and just so I can say HA he's 1/4 african american from his father's side.

Atmosfan for life

[daTANKlb17]

yo pac is the best ever he wrote hart felt shit of what he has seen n he wrote shit that could pump u up n shit to dance to

[peteone6669]

. . what the fuck kind of comment is that . take it to a pac video .

i mean. word. 2pacs dope. . but until your on "favorite rappers favorite rapper". . . keep your opinions to yourself

[coolhanj]

Ok, You make a great point. But you see, heres the thing. I didnt grow up in the ghetto. I have had some shit happn though, my dads suicide, I lost my wife and my kid, all within a year of eachother. So who do I have to listen to? Lil wayne talking about Guns and Drugs? Thats not whats gonna make ME feel a lil better. Slug raps about everyday kind of problems. Parents, Girls, etc. So for ME, and MOST of America, Slug raps about what we go through.

[Dvsalias]

uh slug is mixed

[layedout72]

you serious? so to be the best you have to be black? That makes sense, as whites haven't had a struggle at all...Maybe not as a "mass" or a full race, but some white people come from rougher places and harder off places than some black people could ever imagine. It's not your skin color that makes you the best; it's your skill, education, and passion. Skin color has NOTHING to do with hip hop. The first hip hop albums were not about the "struggle". It was "all about the breaks".

[Seanisa]

Fuck gangs, do you think if someone came up to you and thought they knew all about you because you were wearing an orange shirt. Being defined by a color is so low.

[pa1nted]

man thats a load of bullshit open your eyes and do your homework

rapping used to be slang for talking

and thats what it boils down to

you dont have to run drugs and watch the police rape your mother to know commercialist society fucking shite

"White people havent experience this whole world of gangs and corruption that makes such an intruiging subject. "

theres white people all over the world in equally shitty places and in some cases worse than any north american ghetto

[snaggems]

hahha first of all slug has the experience to talk about life because hes still alive and around his 30's where the fuck is pac? good music ignorant person fuck your mother

[JessicaMae1987]

your a fuckin idiot.

[FUl0VECk]

so much bettter!

[sholtube]

@DAVID123456789000000 ur mum

[DAVID123456789000000]

yo daddy

[juggaloface235]

@DAVID123456789000000 that is a friggen bold statement but true in my opinion. he is definately less of a hypocrite

[jimmypageforprez]

@DAVID123456789000000 But Pac did have more to say

[IsaiaMusic]

lyrically he's better than tupac, though tupac has more of a delivery that captures the masses.@DAVID123456789000000

[iphantom1er]

Slug is the shit and keeps it real

[2fcd]

GET RID OF THE STASH!!!!

[Str8ballin95]

[loverofbeats]

[FrontPorchLounger1]

[Yanirakarola]

Rakim is better than KRS and Shan will ever be.

[liquidlover83]

Rakim is not better then KRS. Rakim himself would admitt that.

[YungCyfe]

[rINGbOOSIE]

well you gotta rememvber there both good rappers but highly different styles

and actually dude dont think anyone that lvies today is better then KRS

[Sadclownbad]

[414ever]

[godd211]
