  • This puts most Hip Hop to shame. I can't think of other acts that are that original.

  • "This is what happens when white people are allowed to rap." Or, you know, Eminem. Or Mac Lethal. Or Beastie Boys. Or Sage Francis. Or Bubba Sparxxx. Or Pitbull. Or Everlast. Or Aesop Rock. Or Brother Ali. Or Eyedea. I didn't think people made statements about hip-hop like that anymore. It's like saying "this is what happens when black people play heavy metal" and pointing to Black Death, while completely ignoring Hendrix. Fuck you.
  • POINT

    POINT

  • brilliance 

  • What's the point of this video again? Yoni is the Jew and the lyrics do make sense. Sorry you don't get it. RIP cLOUDDEAD.

  • @RaygunShaun

    Point of this video: cool

    Jew's in this video: Two (Yoni WOLF and Adam DRUCKER)

    Lyrical proficiency: Equal

  • @GnomesAmok Oh, I guess Drucker is a Jewish name. Still, I don't give a shit, nor does it matter in the context of the video.

  • As a dose fan since 1999 I can tell you that this is Dose (and Yoni) using these musical algorithms to brainkill you.

    not "brainwash" brainkill

  • dope vid cloudhead all day

  • Just to let you know, I wasn't curious who was jewish. I don't really give a shit about that. Why are you telling me this?

  • I thought yoni was jewish. but it's dose that raps really fast...

  • These guys have a fascination with on-ramps and dead dogs.

  • POINT : minnows have teeth in their throats

  • horrible

  • thanks for this song i was looking it for everywhere

  • It would be a good video if it wasn't for all of your ignorant comments. Especially "this is what happens when white people are allowed to rap." Also, why are you that concerned and or surprised that one of these guys (or both) are Jewish? I would almost go as far as to say that white people are better at rapping. Especially compared to all the uninspired bullshit that's been coming out for the past 10 years plus that just perpetuates retarded stereotypes in african-american culture. swag? no.

  • Comment removed

  • @rupertperrywinkle fuck you faggot racist dose and yoni are geniuses but it doesn't have shit to do with the fact they're white. talent is never determined by race, unless you're talking about rape (white ppl r the best @ that) :)

  • What the fuck did I just listen to?

  • It's 'a single long stemmed rose nesting between two mountains'

  • @CHECKMYHARDCOCK I know it's not really that's what l always thought it was though.

    On my cd player.

    In my van.

    Fukin bitchin.

  • good

    

  • this sounds a bit like modest mouse at some parts

  • nice video though

  • Yeah the one rapping really fast is doseone, not why?. Why? is the Jewish one.

  • The second verse gives me the chills. (starting with the spider spinning web)

  • Minnows have teeth in their throats?!

  • nightcrawlers all dried up on the summer sun

    

  • I'm so happy to see a clouddead song with over 100k views, and the fact that the newest comment is less than a year old is beautiful.

  • Sure the lyrics make no sense, but why does that matter? This song is incredible. People get hung up on meaning. It's not what they say, it's how they say it. cLOUDDEAD fucking rocks

  • smoke a bowl and then listen to it

  • please do more clouddead songs, this was awesome.

  • yo at 1:20 you post the wrong lyrics.

    Take all this time for mocking

    inside i think your jocking  peace

  • sucks

  • dada

  • I love cLOUDEAD, but I also love your humor in this video. I laughed the whole way through

  • this isnt enetertaining

  • Ghostface was dope in this

  • I think its actually "well dressed dog turds".

  • this isnt why? this is cLOUDDEAD.... ok?

  • are those nuts underneath the antlers?

  • fucking love this song.

    fucking love yoni wolf.

  • I am sooo confused after this video.

  • I was thinking the same thing.

  • love the video

  • Comment removed

  • fuck you, clouddead is amazing.

  • "bacteria gang-banging in the window crack"

    lmao =)

  • "minnows have teeth in their throats"

    lmao =)

  • I think it's funny because yes this is a good song, the video is decent... but the jewish one is NOT the one rapping fast... I'm pretty sure that Dose is the one rapping fast. Not that it matters that Yoni isn't rapping fast as the jewish guy.. but if you're going to point out that the jewish guy is the one rapping fast and at least be right about it... but that is not the case... Yoni and Dose have 2 VERY different voices and rapping styles. How could you confuse them?

  • @gemini12775 Yes! someone that knows their shit, youd think if you were gonna make a crappy music video you would do research first

  • @psychopopdesign Agreed, I mean if you listen or watch ANY of there stuff especially the live stuff, you'd know the difference between Yoni and Dose's voices, styles, tones.... pitch... you don't even have to know anything about music to just listen and hear the difference... and the fact he pointed out the fact that he was Jewish ontop of it, when it doesn't matter 1 and 2 he pointed out the wrong guy.. makes him an idiot and a biggot...

  • @gemini12775

    they are both jewish dude, "adam DRUCKER" "jonathan WOLF" come on, how could you not know that? and they both rap pretty fucking fast... their styles clearly intersect, yoni's delivery is a clear mix of ol dirty bastard, grand master flash and... uh... superman?

  • This is on El-p's mix...

  • You got too much time on your hands AbsurdMusic. WTF?

  • There's nothing really insane about the lyrics at all. Sure, if you throw a bunch of pictures with out-of-context lines, it looks crazy. But had you looked at the words actually pursuing some kind of meaning instead of focusing on the strangeness of them, it might not have seemed so absurd. This is the first time I've heard this song, and I gathered quite a bit of meaning. The song is about decay in all things, living and otherwise. It's not that hard.

  • Just to let you know, man, Dose is the one with the motormouth, and Yoni is the Jewish one.

  • ok these lyrics are just shitty.... but i guess if people like lyrics with no main theme just jumping from non interesting things like rust on your car, then these are your guys

  • where could a band like cloudead obtain commercial sucess?? i think we'll find out when we're dead.

  • Salmon sushi will never taste the same.

  • Through the paper...

  • It then becomes self evident that nature is responsible... To peel deer from desert fun... To sleep through vulture mouths... It's femur like a chopstick!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • A murder of mosquitoes, moths, and gnats ravage the fluorescent flickering ribs of a motel lot flood light, their frantic trajectories perfectly sketching insane in it's halogen corona.

  • In the gas station urinal.

    A full feathered dead pigeon

    With it's entire skull exposed.

  • I love cLOUDDEAD but your video makes me cry with laughter.

  • i wish i had the accapela to this.

  • a single long stem rose ....between two MOUNTAIN HEATHERS.

  • The funny thing is that almost all of the lyrics in this song are about actual events or images that the guys have seen (mostly while on tour). I'm buddies with one of them & I've gotten a break down on several songs. The juxtaposition of the lyrics is what makes it sound confusing (or amazing in my humble opinion), but it all came from somewhere. Personally I could never write like this, but I'm always impressed when others can.

    BTW, entertaining commentary (especially the congressman part).

  • Yes....I'll definitely inform my duchess.......

  • umm, this makes me feel uncomfortable and anxious.... guess i'm not on enough xanex and oxy... fucking clones

  • THIS IS TRUE ABSTRACT HIP HOP, the lyrics are not suppose to make sense anyways these types of songs are the songs u shud smoke a blunt with or just chill back

  • the songs amazing!!! the guy who made the video is a douche tho.....

  • Funny how the fans are the ignorant ones, yet the author admits to not understanding what he's mocking.

    Hee-larious!

  • you want to know what it means? it's various metaphors comparing life and death, humans and animals, etc."a single long stemmed rose resting between two antlers" compares how we mount beauty of life right in between death. Humans are compared to ants twice through out the song which can be taken to mean that in the big picture we are all just bumbling around without any clear impact. they also compare red raw salmon steak to a urinal cake which is an example of how ridiculous human nature can be

  • I think its about them being on tour... on a bus. "Two dogs" also. Theyre making songs of things that wouldnt normally get sung about and yeah comparatively saying "whats it all worth" with real tangible metaphors doing the leg work. Although we didnt see what caused them to write the songs, theyre trying to get us to "see."

    I mean becoming fossilized underneath asphalt waiting for some posthumous species to find us is a possibility... I believe.

  • i love this

  • This is amazing!

  • My guess is that the lyrics are a "stream of consciousness"... Just writing down random thoughts and making them into a song.

    If you listen to songs by Yoni's or Doseone's other projects you'll find that they can write quite sensible lyrics as well.

  • It's ironic that despite the author's clear hatred for this kind of music, he is actually spreading it like wildfire.

  • I'm not sure what's with all the idiocy. the lyrics are, at the very least, incredibly creative.

  • dadaism :D

  • This shits retarded.

  • Why? is Jewish, not DoseOne (right?)

  • @mouthbreather1 You win. Dude has not a clue.

  • @mouthbreather1 Yoni and his brother Josiah are Jewish, not the whole group of why?... and no, I believe Dose is not....

  • @gemini12775 I assumed Why? was just Yoni; I don't really know their stuff at all.

  • dude it makes sense on a level that you just dont get thats all. i believe they call it art last time i checked....

  • dude it makes sense on a level that you just dont get thats all. i believe they call it art last time i checked....

  • i haven't looked at the rest of their videos, but i get the feeling the dumb comments about "2/3 white 1/3 jewish" and "i'm sure each of these lines are particularly meaningful" are made in jest.

    the creator of the video illustrated very clearly the meaning of the lyrics (which are mostly descriptions of images) by putting this together. seems sorta "absurd" that they might not even be aware of the 'meaning' here.

    abstract poetry abstract poetry abstract poetry abstract poetry!!!

  • man you obviously don't understand shit

  • the red raw salmon steak in the bathroom urinal XD omg! ahaha! and This is what happens when white people are allowed to rap! AHAHA! i"m about to pee on myself! .... crap :/

  • MAN THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!

  • These lyrics make no sence at all lol! but i love them!!!

  • This song called "Rifle Eyes" got weird things

  • Maybe if you bothered peering past the veil of apparent literal meaning you could understand. Maybe poetry uses to be more than one meaning to one person (i.e.- you). Maybe you are the quintessential ignorant American, a product of the declining educational system...

  • Honestly... I don't think you should be putting all Americans in the same boat. Not all are the same. Just because one makes a stupid comment doesn't mean everyone is that way. Though there are a lot, it still isn't all.

  • @darkinuyasha3 I was responding to 1 person only, as the quintessential ignorant American, specifically. Not all of America.

    Quintessential: the most typical example or representative (the quintessence of...)

    Please read and comprehend before you lunge forth with hasty retaliations.

  • He might not be stupid; don't jump the gun (waheyyyyyy).

  • @FeedsNoSliesMusic By observing the ignorant comments he left and stating that "white" people shouldn't rap, he forgoes any support from my end. ("White" isn't a culture anyway, they're Jewish if it even matters.) Do you think he made supportive comments? Do you think his user name "Absurd Music" is indicative of someone who looks for something positive in his/her posts. Obviously not from his posting. My comments are based on the post here. No guns are jumped.

  • Calm down, I only did it for the pun.

  • i think this is my #1 video on youtube

    i found it so entertaining

    thank you so much for taking the time to put the photographs to the beat and exactly what they are saying. wow makes perfect sense now why people do drugs

    well thank you for making my day<3

  • reminds me of beck a little

  • the Wolf's were raised jewish any way that means they are of middle eastern descent. But why emphasize that they are white? THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN POETS AND ART STUDENTS RAP!

  • at least its not about bitches and hoes. this music is changing the mindset of rap: its not about being a gangster anymore, its going back to the roots: an expression of one's poetry with the accompaniment of music. but ya mainly full of meaningless artistic lyrics

  • This is what happens when intelligent people are allowed to "rap". It has nothing to do with race. I may be a fan, but I'm not ignorant. Thanks for the upload AbsurdMusic, I guess.

  • Comment removed

  • "Rifle Eyes" is the most bizarre song I've ever heard!

  • reminds me of a more kicked back mindless self indulgence

  • @belikejames

    You make me mad... REAL mad...

  • @OMGWTFBBQATTACK

    I sure hope so sweet cheeks...

  • i first this video while i was not in my normal mindset if you know what i mean.

    The lyrics made perfect sense, cause your in that mood to just speculate about everything, every little word paints a new thought inn your mind that leads you down a different thinking path.

    thats what the songs about for me

  • Idols are made for falling off pedistals

  • Kudos on the video, but why are you so obsessed with race?

  • great point, but lost on the world.

  • I've tried for so long, but I still can't get how he does the "thrice we passed this truck all packed with pigs, this truck is always packed with pigs". Jesus Christ it's fast.

  • The line that really gives away this song's meaning is "Oil drills like some sick, sedated, rythmic robot, rape mode like brain washed flies at a carcass." They realize that man is destroying the environment.

  • great vid! amazing song!

  • The lyrics aren't insane, to me it's always seemed like a stream of consciousness type thing, and those strange things you've seen throughout your life and how they stick out in your memory.

  • @mydawgisdead It seems to me a bit pretentious at times, but my GAWD, it's amazing. And the whole album ("Ten") never fails to impress. Especially over consecutive listens.

  • i think all of these lyrics have something to do with their childhood / lives. Like, Things that have significance to them in some way...but thats just me

  • cLOUDDEAD are so great.

    and yeah Why? (the slower, less scratched voice) one is jewish, not dose one.

  • Comment removed

  • first of all, I'm not sure why it's necessary to mention that one of them is Jewish, or make any comment on race since race and religion contribute absolutely nothing to musical ability.

    second of all, the one who raps "really, really fast" is doseone, and he is not jewish.

  • take out the last part. it's ignorant sounding

  • i'm an ohioan myself. i love this track.

  • Very dada.

    Still, I prefer it to "bitches and hos" gangsta shit that just perpetuates a vicious cycle, keeping inner city youth in the ghettos.

    But apparently thats 'cause I'm Danish.  Us Danes is some weird motherfuckers...

  • @nestletreb uuuuuuh thats a pretty dumb statement thinking that music keeps people in ghettos. next time you should go through a ghetto ask them if music is the cause of bad social situations

  • @jumppack1

    I didn't say it was a cause, but a perpetuator. Gangsta rap is both a reflection and influence on life. It probably isn't as influential as I made it sound - I'd just rather not support a culture that glorifies violence and misogyny. And I like songs about ants.

    Sorry for the confusion. Did I mention that I'm Danish?

  • Wow

    that was an awesome video

    I finally now understand why doseone is such a genius.

    because of his amazing lyrics

    ......

    Actually I was slightly disappointed

    haha

    Awesome live!

  • These sound more like Yoni' than Dose's lyrics. Using alot of abstract imagery. Very... bizarre imagery.

  • u think ur some shit don't u

  • i fucking love this song

  • the maker thinks he's a real i hoot.

  • I dunno, but I think you kinda screwed some of the imagery - namely the bit with the rose/antlers.

    I'm pretty sure they're talking about that whole "life imitating art / vice versa" question.

  • listen to bus driver

  • Hm, the lyrics in this particular song aren't really very abstract or hard to understand at all. I'm pretty sure they're rapping about (in some cases out of place) examples of life and death they've noticed while on the road in California.

  • a lot of their observational lyrics like that come from southern Ohio, I believe all three of them are from Cincinnati. if Why? isn't, Dose and Jel are for sure.

  • @WhoBuiltTheArk

    I believe Dose is from Idaho and Yoni is from Ohio. I don't know where Jel is from, but he's not in cLOUDDEAD anyway.

  • need something more from them..

  • them? who's "them"?

    This is a fan video. cLOUDDEAD Didnt make this.

  • zitto gabo

  • Them is a two part group, one part Dose One (rapper) and part Jel (producer)

  • Themselves is one of the members of cLOUDDEAD.

  • it's two of 'em, Jel and Dose. they're in quite a few groups together.

  • It's not Jel; it's Odd Nosdam.

  • Right, my fault. I listen to lots of Dose/Jel music and automatically make that pairing a lot XD

  • doseone's real name is adam drucker, so that sounds jewish to me. still, yoni wolf (why?) is definitely jewish, so if it's 1/3, then it's him. but possibly we're looking at 2/3

  • both yoni and adam are jewish

  • no need for the jewish comments

  • great music and great video..quoting dexbitch "lyrics evoke imagery" i like how you expressed the lyrical imagery literally which made it hilarious and made me think about the song as well..

  • Great song. It makes perfect sense! xD

  • haha i was laughing my ass off throughout this whole video. I *think* clouddeads whole thing was to create a sonic soundscape and use nonsensical lyrics to add to the effect. Their first album had me going "wtf" the entire time but if you took the whole thing as a package it was ambient and hypnotic.

  • the lyrics make sense, they're talking about death and decay.. think about it..

  • werd

  • Their lyrics may or may not have meaning, I think its mostly about how the words sound, the texture, the feel, what comes to mind when you hear a word or phrase get across a more surreal, abstract sort of train of thought message. I think these songs are more about the emotional impact and expression then conveying a specific meaning.

  • That's usually how Dose does his stuff. None of his other songs make sense either, you just have to listen to it as a whole, instead of words.

  • I do tend to find more distinguishable meaning with his lyrics in his work in 13 & God. Still very abstract though.

  • couldn't have said it better

  • genious to say the least?

  • perhaps genius.

  • POST 3 of 3 read from bottom to top|

    i dont mean to take up space i just find it necessary to defend good music when i see that people are being alienated by "weirdness". People thought the fucking internet was weird and now we're all on youtube like a bunch of fucking jack-offs. Don't mean to preach im just making a point about Doseone and shit, great video AbsurdMusic i'd like to see more. Despite my opinion I still have a sense of humor, this video is hilarious!!

  • The thing about doseone is that he makes music the way he wants to make it, but his expansive vocabulary and agile mind allows for him to rap effectively. His creative abilities would be under utilized if he didn't make the kind of music he does, rather than just normal "indie rock". Everyone is comfortable with the current breed of popular hip-hop, which is all about money, women, drugs, guns, and racial shit. These are all great topics but they get simplified into "bitches,cheddar,gats, etc."

  • that may be the greatest comment ever posted,=this album is landmark. and the best anticon ep in my opinion. reunion???

  • whether or not this song (or any of cLOUDDEAD or doseones work) adhere's to your definition of "making sense" is irrelevant for a multitude of reasons. Prominently, the fact that these lyrics evoke IMAGERY, which is; A. One of many 'poetic devices' for those unschooled youtubers who dont know, and B. a great way to create unique, horrificly beautiful lyrics. The ironic thing is that the creator of this video doesnt even realize he made a great music video for this song for the most part

  • lol @ the end of the video...guy who posted it doesn't seem to appreciate it that much, but at least he's funny

  • holy shit, this is amazing...i gotta get this cd

  • I think you all who seem to have to find meaning in the lyrics of every song you hear are missing the point. This song is great, along with the whole album "Ten"

  • bacteria gangbanging in the windowcrack.

    iLL.

  • god damn that is so dope and artistic!!! I agree w/ williamdaofoes and sk8er
