Cannibal Ox - Angels and Insects

[AssaultKalashnikov]

i meditate, let my ghost exit shell, but sometimes it's hard when hit by the angel that fell.. reference to one of the greatest scenes in the greatest movie ever made!

[MickVersusYou]

Vast and Vordul... ill duo or illest duo?

[SuperBloodFlow]

this was made in 1995?

[ratfinkskates]

@SuperBloodFlow it definitely wasn't. it came out in 2007 or 2008, i can't remember really. it obviously came out after speakerboxxx/thelovebelow though as you can see the cover makes fun of it.

[perzikt]

this must be the definition of titness

[devilman1004]

dooope... who produced this??

[dropbombs2009]

definitly one of the best tracks of all time hands down....

[alexv2k7]

good shit, big up from south london

[inphanta]

I've been looking for this album for ages. Anyone know where I can download it?

[Roger61571]

@inphanta Youtube Converter is Your Freind Mate ;P

[SuperBloodFlow]

@Kkourou Atoms Family - Angels and Insects

[MickVersusYou]

Who the FUCK disliked this?

[intelligentlife4m]

Dope hiphop!! also check youtube.com/user/intelligentli­fe4m

[perzikt]

the bass makes me wanna go 'bwa womp tata bop bop'

[FSVR54]

Damn, what does this sample? What a beat

[DaliNaples82]

@FSVR54 Bjork - Joga

[FSVR54]

@DaliNaples82 Thank you man

[Kkourou]

What's the album, please ?

[tejera02]

And if Angels&Insects doesn't curb your appetite, do like me, every night before I go to sleep I listen to VastAire's Battle of the Planets..absolutely sick, mellow, astrological trip to the end of the universe. God created CanOx, CanOx created infinite music

[nkelly1432]

@tejera02 absolutely right, battle of the planets is sick but I find it more of a pump-up song then a calm-down song, ya feel me?

[Roger61571]

@tejera02 I love that track by Vast. But the whole beef just killed the track 6 minutes of pure shit talking nonsence in an epic beat? Nah...Nevertheless Vast is a dope MC!

[tejera02]

@Jljujubeats-no disrespect to Bjork, but if CanOx sampled Joga, then Bjork sample the masters, Pet Shop Boys' incredible West End Girls(original 1984 version)Check out Soundoftheseason posting in Youtube. This is where it all began. They even rapped in it! CanOx the new masters!

[Arcilios]

Man I love this song

[swishaking27]

roaches help me write rhymes

these niggas was fucking lyrical machines

nice ass beats 2

[seanross25]

may your name be praised if you fight the gnomes/

who walk among us to their innocence crushing our exoskeleton domes and abdomins/

quietly a mantas preys, waiting, for his prey to creep from behind a leaf/

brief messages are sent from the center of a web, alarming cryptic long legs its time to fine on the fly/

who thought he was fly, but never thought death would come from beautiful silk patterns/

take these lyrics metaphorically (how they were intended to) and they will BLOW YOUR MIND

[thediwall]

Does anyone have a link/ know the lyrics to this?

[congoMEGA]

what? ANGELS NIGGA

[horkaveh]

where can i find the lyrics?

[BLUELINEKING]

One of the best songs i have ever heard, I get kind of pissed of when people who cant understand the fucking lyrics diss this song.

[laodicea100]

@BLUELINEKING thats cause it goes over their lil minds

[fibinacialfredo3]

@BLUELINEKING don't worry man, listen to vast:

"Mental calisthenics, lazer brains can't push up

Or even sit up to fight for what they believe in

He thought about it

I said, 'Peace, keep breathing'."

[EmceeLiveMics]

Wow!! can't believe I never heard of Cannibal ox..pretty creative shit! I'm feeling it fasho..

[fedorgspsilvamma]

was that the real album cover? haha the love below was the shit .

[fookii99]

does anyone know why vast says 95 at the end of the track? cause i know this song wasn't released in 95

[icanatrix]

@fookii99 he says 'certified since 1995'. Guess thats how long they been doing it

[EnoCitpyrc]

@fookii99 1995 is when Atoms Family was established... this track was recorded around 2000-2001 and released initially on the Angels & Insects compilation in 2002

[fookii99]

"And when I'm dead and gone,

My offspring will live on being immune to every lie that belongs to the leg of the centipede, society, a compound eye, self sufficient, slave degree"

[BOOKAHZ]

@fookii99 i like dis.

[helicop]

Isn't the strings from Bjork?

[driekone]

@helicop YEs

[twistedgrrrl13]

this is sooooooo old!!! Wow. Hearing this again just made my life

[WW2isntOVER]

yo this is great

[The01RAS]

[bestbelieve78]

[emarshall650]

[lebomashile]

OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! CAN'T PLAY THIS JOINT OFTEN ENOUGH!!!

[mattdurand]

ohhhh shit

[BlackTyeChi]

"Quietly a mantis prays...waiting!"

[penguinsauce87]

this symphony type  sample is soooooo sick

[chanrider]

@penguinsauce87 its bjork

[wudisciple]

Thats why i sit in my coccoon and bloom,

reach other things like outer space,

but you don't even gotta go that far,

just look in the nearest ant hill and then the farthest star,

then, maybe by then you'll be ready for an atom rhyme bar.....

talk about the bigger picture eh?

rap with substance, support it! Fuck lil wayne / 50 cents type bitches, spread the word!

[Ross175]

man, i didn't even think this video would have near this many views, but now that i think about, all those wack ass mainstream rappers have millions and millions of views on their vids, so i guess it don't make sense at all

[Cobbe354]

Cannibal Ox was the realest dudes out back then.

[Jljujubeats]

This is hiphop at it's purest form.

Actually this track can't be from '95, since the original sample Joga by Bjork was released in '97.

[msnikish]

oh shit

[Roger61571]

-=THiS iS A WORK OF ART NUFF SAiD, MUCH PROPS FROM THE WESTCOAST=- PEKAS1

[Skunktekos]

dope beat ! thx post

[rezen1983]

ive sampled bjork b4 shes awesome to sample

[ConcaCon]

@rezen1983

That was off Joga. I got a lot of respect for her creative input that set her apart from all other artists in her genre. She is inimitable.

[DownEins]

@rezen1983 ..yeah,..versuch's mal mit "Cat Power" zum samplen..!

[KVerseBrodcasting]

It's just rap, man... no subtitles... "What kind of Rap is this hahaha. Hip Hop fam. Period. Sectioning it off helped kill it.

[djdigitalwarrior]

wicked tune but sound quality is poor

[XxToPDoGGxX]

I just started listening to this style of rap. Is there a name this kind of rap?

[djdigitalwarrior]

@XxToPDoGGxX yeah its called indie rap or alternative rap.at least to me

[sanderbrouwer1990]

@XxToPDoGGxX Just check out more from labels such as Def Jux and Rhymesayers ;)

PEAAACE the Stapler

[BOOKAHZ]

@sanderbrouwer1990 thanks 4 dat

[nemesis700]

so damn, this was from 95 huh

[kedrick06]

love the bjork sample.

[newportal420]

Who is this rhyming with Mega and Vast?

[ApolloTheTruth]

@newportal420 kasm

[wudisciple]

Thats why I sit in coccoon and bloom,

reach other things, like outer space,

but you dont even gotta go that far,

just look in the nearest ant hill,

and then the farthest star,

then maybe by then you'll be ready for an atom rhyme bar...

[graficstylz64]

I Blaze to this!!!!!

[ScarceOne]

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiik ass Song................

[brand1angel]

Wear short sleeves! Support your right to bare arms

[TheLastLaffer]

this is a very good song its very reminescent to pigeons but they took the idea from pigeons and ran with it

[noirtriptyline]

That is a masterful sampling of Bjork...so lovely...and the flow just off sets this so nicely...

[TheRDiz]

this song is like god speaking

[numderenin]

rap that isnt blind

[WW2isntOVER]

[WW2isntOVER]

[bronzeprince]

incredibly beautiful power true indeed can ox spit that next shit

[newportal420]

All that gangsta, Maggots that's puberty. Keep you in one place. Thats why I sit in my cocoon and bloom. This song hits deep down. Damn!

[spoonforleg]

who produced this? El-P?

[joeyjordivision]

why do you compare björk to can ox, anyway? cannibal ox just used a sample, that's all...

joga is a great track and they sampled joga to create another great track!

[ThatsFuckingHeavy]

haha bjorks gay compared to this lmfao great comparison buddy (real laughter)

[OutlawBebop8]

@ThatsFuckingHeavy uhhh no... but can ox still wins. bjork is great though.

[swellclimber]

bijork used the string sample better than these phonies

[CHmLgN]

How do they knock out so many fucking sick tracks? Sonic Genuis.

[TheLastLaffer]

can someone tell me why this album cover looks and the name is just like outkasts speakerboxx/the love below is it paying homage, a parody, or what?

[Kaninskavich]

@TheLastLaffer

Probably both. I'm sure they weren't making fun of them though, just a little jab at their(outkast's) album.

[squishbosh]

yea what kaninskavich said...notice how it says "speakeroxxx/the ox below" lol...

[TheLastLaffer]

@squishbosh kaninskavich wat does that mean?  is it lastlaffer

[squishbosh]

i donno it was some dudes username

[wudisciple]

@TheLastLaffer Pure homage. There is a music video of theirs where you can see a stankonia poster background.

[Pogneman]

Anyone got the lyrics please ?

[bazookafluke]

Isn't that Cryptic One guest appearing? Sounds just like him. Damn, I remember seeing this for sale on sandbox quite a few years ago, I should have picked it up then, seems hard to find now.

[alexmiddleton4]

[Bzzzpuk]

[Bzzzpuk]

[PneumaticFire]

Its off a compilation called 'Angels & Insects', and as the title describes, the track themes revolve around angels and/or insects. Beautiful but slept on compilation. This track also features (and I think was produced?) by Kasm. He's the first emcee.

[debolt88]

also on the obvious mixtape pictured here as well as Vast's mixtape Way of the Fist volume 4: rap wars, though I think its titled A and I 2000 on that

[INTOKSYNATOR88]

[cookn22]

There's also a reference to "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came" by Robert Browning in kasm's rap which is fukkin nuts

[cookn22]

"And when I'm dead and gone

my offspring will live on

being immune to every lie that belongs

to the leg of the centipedes - society

a compound "I", self-sufficient, slave to greed."

[thirdshift47]

"Like a figment from the Son of Sam's imagination/With the appearance/To catch a schizophrenic fascination."

[Rickeeey1]

First time I hear this one and I'm addicted to it. Cannibal Ox are always great.

[plaff990]
