Ant is one of the most underrated producers in the game, such a feel good beat.

"Break the rules, but first break the rulers" just an amazing verse

"I still kick it with angels, the difference is instead of the bar I'm at my kitchen table", this line is an example for why Atmosphere is one of my top favorite artists.

People say that rap is dead but they aren't listening to the right stuff, this stuff gets to your head, makes you feel something. Pitty how some people don't know what good music is,

I'm going to speak on everyone's behalf. Atmosphere is loved. This is more than just music. These songs are our poetry to life. The beats are the sound of everything around us. Together, its our motivation to keep us going forward. Sean and Ant, props for what you are doing for us.

"And if I had a time machine, I'd probably use it like a vacuum and try to clean" FILTHY LYRICS!

When ever I buy new headphones, earbuds, or speakers I use this song to test if they are good.

This man is a true lyricist. There are so few who can rhyme, and fewer still who use their words wisely

I see a ton of comments on here about how Slug killed it/didn't do enough. Where is the love for Ant? This beat is amazing, best on the album

Still one of my favourite tracks of all time 👌 “If I had a time machine, I’d use it like a vacuum and try to clean” one of my favourite lines of all time...

Hey you, yeah you. Don't worry. Everything will be okay. There's always tomorrow. Keep your head up and your spirits strong.

My buddy showed this to going to work one night, and told me was sorry we quit talking but the drugs got him and he tried overdosing. We still homies to this day, but he's in Minnesota and I'm in Texas, he's got a family, and now at 31 im battling sobriety worse then ever.

The whole album is fantastic. This video fits this song so well. So glad to be growing old with Atmosphere blaring from the speakers. The beats from this album are out of this world. So many treasures, relics of previous albums to be found through out.

20 years plus STILL the most original shit on the scene, whatever scene. Saving my heart!

Anybody that doesn't like this because of the "pauses" or the "spacing" needs to stop listening to Slug. Any real Slug fan knows that most of his songs are about the lyrics and his message. His flow was phenomenal not to mention his lyrics.. This is passion, this is real Hip-Hop. Edit: Who am i to say what people need to do/listen to? I just hope most of us can understand & appreciate this song on a higher level. One Love.

if Slug isnt in your top MCs, you need to listen to more Atmosphere.

People complaining about the flow and pauses but I don't think rap is about fitting as many words as you can into every every measure. I got a really chilled, lax feeling about this one, really effortless stuff. And as a photographer I appreciate the metaphors about stealing the moments. Great shit slug.

Eat, Sleep, Southsiders.. repeat! all day everyday.

November 2021. Still bumpin old school Atmosphere. Thank you Slug. Thank you Ant. Thank you all.

"break the rules, but first break the rulers" brilliant line that one.

I'm a bit new to Atmosphere. I didn't know they were releasing a new album when I first started listening to them a couple days ago. Their earlier music is perfect. Such good songs with good topics and themes and just perfect beats to go along with it. I've listened through their whole discography and literally spazzed out when I found out today that they had released a new album. I bought the album immediately on iTunes and I'm so happy I did. It's really, really good. Artists like these two are rare nowadays, and I'm happy I found their music.

Still listening ❤️

THIS BEAT IS INSANE!!!!

Wow, ever since "Sunshine" in 2008, I've been glued to Atmosphere. Props.

remember when this came out. underrated. chicago boy till death. slug forever

Rhymesayers saved my life.

Atmosphere is a fine wine, only improves with age!

Whos bumpin this now ? Im bumpin it every day !!! People talkin about the beat , what abiut the lyrics.. both combined is a masterpiece for me 👍❤️. Much love to slug and ant.

This is one of the many songs slug has written that solidifies him as one of the greatest lyricists of all time. Straight up poetry.

"attach my feet to the path I beat" I love that line so fucking much

this guy sticks to me. as I'm driving down the road, windows down, rain coming in the windows, pelting me in the arm. gets me. gets to my heart. all my regrets. all my wouldve couldve shouldve 's. my temper. every song. every day. the smile i put out to people around.......

I can't emphasize how this song is me right now, " if I could sum it up into a shorter quote, fuck it , you might as well row this boat" so resonates with me...Atmosphere, ty....

This album has been in my car stereo for days! Love it. Love the little references to other Atmosphere tracks. Hope they keep making music for years to come!!!

Still banging in 2021!

Even if it doesn't make sense to you, someone else can find a hidden meaning. This is why I have always loved atmosphere. They paint a story but you can always find meanings of your own.

you gotta think when it comes to alot of slugs lyrics. lots of hidden meanings in them. so before you say his lyrics suck listen to it again and think. hes a lyrical mastermid

What a great song to start this album... Props to Ant on this one

This is just some good old Hip Hop, no sellout lyrics or corporate hype... just a chill track with a personal undertone.

I've been listening to you for years brutha, never gets old... Much love Atmosphere A.KA.Slug god bless you and the Fam.. Thanks for everthing you've done for music and all of us💯

FINALLY! A new Atmosphere album. I was so hyped when I heard "Bitter" on Pandora. "Bitter" was good, but Ant fucking KILLED it with this beat! So good!

The cinematography of this music video compliments the quality craftsmanship of Slug's lyrics & Ant's rhythm perfectly ... Atmosphere's albums always feel like a gift. Simply executed conscious hip-hop with conceptual depth & intelligent thought never sounded so good ... never stop feeding your passion gentlemen!

Ants' Production is freaking amazing! Never lets me down. Yes that is me with Ant in my pic. That is when I told Ant that His music is like "An island of relief in an ocean of diarrhea." And I mean it. With all the other shit that is out there on the radio, it is so great to hear thoughtful composition. HEY ANT! If you see this I want to hang out at the next Sound Set.

Good flow doesn't mean spitting out rhymes as fast as you can, good flow is created through a combination of rhyming, following the beat, and spitting a real message. Slug's rhymes match this beat perfectly, and that along with the metaphors about stealing moments make this song a freaking masterpiece.

"and if i had a time machine, i'd probably use it like a vacuum and try to clean" dude. that line is deep. luvvvvvvvvv it

Ant really shines on this track. He's still got it. I believe Slug does too, but it might not have shown quite as much on this one. Great song though, and a great album. Glad Atmosphere's still keepin' on.

Been an Atmoshphere fan for a long time now. Atmosphere has undergone a lot of changes to their sound throughout the years. Some changes were tough to go through. I can safely say this might be his best work yet. Slug's still got it.

All these rappers,talking about they rap about reality & keep it real. Slug is the realest M.C. on the Mic.

Grammy award should be for this and all the hard work he's done in the last ten years . underground or not . show the "Mcs" what a real MC is

Damn this is actually a really good music video

Oh my Atmosphere, just gave me chills. Best song i have heard so far of 2014!!

it really takes a lot of life experiences to make something like this and Slug always puts his life in his art. Ant killed this too

i keep my dreams inside my dreams

I just wanted to share my perspective of one of his lyrics and see if anyone else agrees because I keep going back and forth about what I think he means. "If I had a time machine I'd probably use it like a vacuum and try to clean." Some of my friends think he means he would try to clean up his past, but I disagree and think that he means that he wouldn't care to use it to change the past but rather leave the past alone and do something "fatherly" and use it as a "vacuum" to clean up (around the house maybe? lol) . As the rest of this song seems to talk about growth and references to who/how he used to be, I think it's a cute and clever line that shows he's happy with the present and has other priorities and things to take care of.

I've never seen Atmosphere in concert. I also didn't realize the new album was out yet. I have two tickets to see him on June 8th (my birthday) in Boston. Don't even know who I'm bringing yet but I don't care because I'm so excited. I'll go alone if I have to and it will still be the best birthday gift ever.

Atmosphere has gotten through so many shitty times. These guys are amazing and I'm glad I found them 13 years ago

I'm glad Atmosphere didn't go bozo on us. I mean I always knew Rhymesayers is one of the only few who ARE Hip-Hop, but nowadays older rappers be doing shit that benefits commerce, but destroys their art.

I really don't understand how people think these are bullshit lyrics these are awesome and some good metaphors are in there.

By far one of the dopest Atmosphere songs ever! Love the Dante's Inferno-theme of the video too

His word play and flow is awesome, the way slug does things is phenomenal. I feel like this song was so perfect yet easy for others to recite it them selfs which isn't a bad thing. This song and No Mercy- Anilyst , i can play those songs in my head all day lyric by lyric

the beat is amazing, the writing is amazing, and i dont care what some of you are saying his flow is amazing

my favorite rapper at the moment

Wow i knew if this dude through Cunninlynguists but never actually listened to his music. Damn good stuff right here.

One of the greatest Atmosphere tracks! and absolutely displays Ant's production ability like usual!!! Such a Gem!!!

For me personally, one of the best songs Atmosphere made in a few years. And just wanna say thank you Slug and Ant for the concert in Amsterdam, performing the most legendary songs (y')all ever made.

Still got it...takes me back to 2002 wun!luf!

sick....never disappointed when Slugs on the mic and Ants bringin the beats! World Class gentlemen, keep them comin'!

Gotta say, Slug and Ant will never fade. Lyrically, musically, always on point.

Underrated. Much love to Atmosphere.

Atmosphere is always killing it. Great job

slug will be 80 and still be killing any young rapper with his lyrics. Mans got unbelievable talent

My personal favorites by Atmosphere are "the best day", "the loser wins", "became", and "if you can save me now", but this one is close.

Cant believe its been so many years since this came out, now I get memories

Definitely Atmosphere's best single off Southsiders

So it was Sean & Ant who ended up hijacking the Malaysian Airliner, huh? Silly me... SHOULDA KNOWN!

One great thing about Rhymesayer's fans is that we love contemplating life and death.

Music is my favorite medical and medicine and thank god for old school shit lots dont know ever even heard of at all. Scars heal and time to get high

Great track Big up from Poland !

I love my boys from atmosphere. Will never get bored of them. I wish to someday see them live and have ant and slug give me an autograph

Slugs words are so beautiful... He astounds me with his poetic ability...

Please dont stop writing songs. I think I speak for most of us here. We need you guys.

I had to watch this a second time. This doesn't resemble rap to me. This was truly written of poetry.

After the last album I thought Slugs rapping was on the decline, I have now changed my mind

this song got me through so many hard times. still does.

I hated this song so much at first; actually kinda this whole album. It's pretty funny that both get stuck in my head and I keep coming back to them lol. Thanks guys 🥰

Im ice cream mixed with gasoline. "Meaning im sick"

LOVE IT

Oh how i have enjoyed watching this group in it's musical genius for well over a decade.

Will never get old. Forever love solid talent in music.

dope instrumental - tight lyrics.

Camera thief Take pictures Run like the parallel stitches Attach my feet to the path I beat Teach myself to keep the answers brief Gnash my teeth like the last to feast Imagine me on that abandoned beach Sand and sea as if the jazz was free I’m Ice cream mixed with gasoline

One of my favorites...Thank you Atmosphere!

Start to finish, this album was incredible. Thank you Slug & Ant, what a production.

yo I'm new to slug I'm listening to hes music and thinking how fuck is he not huge I don't get it

I think the beat is so sick defiantly of your high

I've never felt this way before hearing a song. Can't explain how beautifull this song is in words.

Saw him live on the 29th, best show I've ever been to, he signed my Southsiders album and i got a picture with him.

Reservoir Dawgs

FANTASTIC as always.

Just saw Atmosphere live this past weekend in Grand Junction Colorado (Welcome To Colorado Tour). What a performance. I've been to countless shows and I must say Slug is so charismatic and knows how to to perform for a crowd. Camera Thief was the opening track as Slug emmegred from back stage. So Dope!!!!

All I can say is thank you.
