This video gave me chillz!! fuck yeah, stand up for your friends and peers in your community dont let the wolves prey on you!stick together fuckers dont be a bunch of assholes!

[TrishaBishop5]

This video is why I went to Sims show in Reno. If Sims, is in your town go to the show! His performance was amazing just like his lyrics are. Plus, Laserbeam was there and gave powerful beats I haven't heard in long time. The guys were very cool and genuine.

Sims and Laserbeam thanks for playing in Reno.

[mathias290]

@TrishaBishop5

Sims is a great performer. He really gets you into the moment by just jumping down from stage and building from the energy in the crowd.

[cluebcke]

@TrishaBishop5 Lol Lazerbeak, not Laserbeam, but yeah I'd love to catch them live too :)

[mathias290]

@cluebcke All of doomtree on tour right now, this got played in CoMo and shit got crazy.

[soulofrhymes]

[angie4josh]

Fucking epic, and I dont normaly like this type of music:)

I recommend Radio Opaque

[SultanSurutan]

With the likes of Kid Cudi, Sims, Talib Kweli etc. making beats like this, The future looks bright. I wish Sims the very best, 'cause he is HARD.

[shorty6049]

3 dislikes... WTF's wrong with you three?

[rova0007]

This fuckin rules!

half a second of that AKB by shock and that ATG/MFG extinguisher made it even radder. Real twin cities graff in videos is so cool to see haha

[FloppyBaby]

Eminem's new stuff is fucking awesome! Lovin' this Em.

[keyonte0]

@FloppyBaby Normally I dislike trolling but it's funny something so simple can infuriate some people.

[Frodnek]

@keyonte0 normally i like trolling but his was lame and didnt even get a response. anyway, this song is pretty much the greatest ever

[vajeyjey58]

i cant get enough of this song :D

[ootini]

I wasn't a huge fan of his earlier stuff, but the production on this song reminds be of the layered bomb squad shit from the early days. This is fucking great. Way to go, Sims.

[brendo432123]

lol where is that building. P.o.s shot his whole "Drumroll" video there.

[sdiggy4004]

In Philly on March 6th :)

[Wildboring]

i want those sick looking animal masks

[RenoBFR]

Just got the promo copy today. I like LMG.

[capturethatflag4]

Welcom to the Veldt!

Ray Bradbury, awesome last line

[Hbic147]

be Sims himself. It's art. Art is self expression. It's completely subjective. That's the point.

[Hbic147]

@slyman928 it seems pretty straight forward to me. People's over reaction to each other (an emotion) has caused us to create a pretty ridiculous world for ourselves.. A lot of people have become very insular to people who are 'like' them not mixing with people outside their own experience. The mixing of those experience is an emulsion and allows us to 'burn' down the constraints that we have created for ourselves. That being said the only person that could really tell you what it means, would

[FangsFirst]

@Hbic147 I think it's even kind of cyclical: use this "emulsion" of people *to* burn down this divisive and over-emotional existence together, then use the same "emulsion" to rebuild a world that is less incendiary and polarizing. Pretty clear when he gets to "burn it black, down to the ash, start from the scratch, build it on back..."

Or at least that's what I hear.

[DoomtreeRecords]

@FangsFirst bingo.

[FangsFirst]

@DoomtreeRecords The $130 purchase I made that included the preorder of this album (the deluxe edition, natch) was the cake, but coming home from work to that response was some hella good icing. You guys are awesome :D

Makes me even more sorry I didn't make the crew show here. Had a ticket and everything. But despite her insistence that I attend, I knew the woman I love secretly wanted me to stay with her and my family just a little longer. I pushed it to the wire, but couldn't deny her...

[ZoeMyJesus]

@FangsFirst I want to be you when I grow up.

[FangsFirst]

@ZoeMyJesus Gracious me, what did I do?

[ZoeMyJesus]

@FangsFirst Mostly a joke because DTR commented back, but that was a good breakdown of the lyrics and who wouldn't want to own 130 dollars worth of DTR merch?

[FangsFirst]

@ZoeMyJesus Hey, I was piggybacking for that explanation. Though in fairness, I caught the argument and had started typing it before I got smart and made sure no one had posted it already (Hbic had!) so I just decided to show support instead.

And yeah, that shit made my day.

...and of COURSE I have more than $130 worth. I just noticed $100 got free shipping and decided to suck it up and use a lot of my remaining tax return (after paying off a credit card) to get everything I didn't have yet.

[FangsFirst]

@ZoeMyJesus ...though I do keep an envelope Dessa sent to me when my message in a bottle completely accidentally didn't come with my pre-order of her book. For which I was remembered through a friend who lives up in MPLS (well, worked there) and then when she came down with P.O.S.

Some friends saw me talk to her about this and thought we were like...friends or something. I shot this down. Probably a missed opportunity there somewhere. "Yeah! Me and Dessa are tight!" I'd be the envy of all!

[ZoeMyJesus]

@FangsFirst Well, real recognize real haha. Also that actually is a cool story, bro. I have 11 dollars worth of DTR merch, unfortunately. Granted, I suppose it's worth much more than that.

WINGS+TEETH

[FangsFirst]

@ZoeMyJesus that is the truth.

It all comes from being stupid with what I spend my paltry retail income on. I mean, stupid financially, but awesome in terms of taste.

[n2Dmartin]

You guys make sick music. But your videos are hella weird.

Also, so fkn pre-ordered

[artisbad]

So good. Crush on to the next. Miss my MPLS.

[artisbad]

So good. Crush on to the next. Miss my MPLS.

THIS ALBUM IS GOING TO DESTROY PLANETS.

astronautalis sent me

[FloppyBaby]

Is this Eminem?

[ZoeMyJesus]

@FloppyBaby The short answer is no. The long and more complicated answer makes Encyclopedia Britannica read like Dr. Seuss.

[MatHrtxC]

@FloppyBaby i hope you choke :)

[FloppyBaby]

@MatHrtxC Is it?

[MatHrtxC]

@FloppyBaby no....

[thosucks]

Lol this is great.

[MikeDevaney]

Sheep and the wolves

[enjakerator]

This is a prefect example of how one does it right. Great emcee. Great track. Great crew.

[petebasgen]

Welcome to the Veldt.

[deweontheroad]

¡heLLz yeAH! if you like this song pre-order and give DTR and nice bump when the new album drops 2-15! I saw the crew 5 times on the last tour, including the Snowout. Great video, great song, great artist & great collective!

[SugarFreeRecordsUK]

The other day I was thinking "isn't it about time Sims dropped a new album?". Good timing.

[Rubixxkubiks]

Whoever disliked this video is tasteless.

[kevnjohn]

Saw this video at the Snowout, amazing track!

[mbaiocch10]

This is a FANTASTIC video (in every sense of that word)!

The concept and coloration are jaw dropping.

But.... can anyone help me with the lyrics... (my ear isn't that good): Is Sims saying: (1) "Less emotion, more emulsion" or (2) "Less emotion, more immolation" where he's corrupting the pronunciation of "immolation"? or (3) something else completely.

[qoa]

@mbaiocch10 It's emulsion.

[slyman928]

@qoa yea youre right but that just means whoever wrote the lyrics is a dumbass and doesnt know what emulsion means

[mjking1503]

@slyman928 Emulsifying agents are often used in fire fighting. The name of the song is 'burn it down'. I wonder who the 'dumbass' is.

[slyman928]

@mjking1503 in the context hes saying it thats def not what he meant. "less emotion more emulsion burn it down" more emulsion would aid in putting the fire out not helping to burn it down. so like i said he doesnt know what it means and just used it because it kind of rhymes with emotion and maybe knew it related to fire fighting

[02CSP]

@slyman928 I think by saying more emulsion he's saying more mixing of what should not be together as an emulsion is a mix of two things that generally don't mix naturally. Perhaps anyway.

[johnnyconsumer]

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!!! Honestly, 'Lights out Paris' was one of my favorite albums of all-time.  I've been waiting for this one for a long time. SIMS ROCKS! DTR

[WilgaBeast]

@johnnyconsumer AMEN. You guys really should've performed Dreamsleep on tour--loved that track on the other album.

[EireTX]

If this is just the tip of the iceberg, then we got one hell of an album coming our way. =)

[singe101]

612! I remember sweatshirt weather, lol. They filmed some parts after the early Nov. snowfall, it looks like. And if they filmed downtown it's red and hazy half the time now.
