Atmosphere - Fortunate (Official Video) 

does he take their stuff too?

True shit

Marian No lol that was part of the music video but it's true, he does say to everyone in line before the show if you get there early. He's great! He'll have a conversation and take a picture with everyone!

True. That’s me at 0.40. the v white blonde in the shorts. Smh for not getting a spray tan that week...

Yep, been there

jezus fkn christ

It’s about how fortunate he is to have the life he has.

The human version of peanutbutter and jelly basically.

Absolutely,it pisses me off when I see comments saying"Slugs music saved my life,Slug is this ans that". It's Atmosphere and Ants production is the guiding force behind Slugs incredible lyrics,they're a group and it wouldn't work without each other!

​@@chrisb6484 Relax, homie. I totally believe in giving credit where it's due, but the rest of the world is already hostile enough. Let's keep this space chill and honor the vibes and the message these cats are sharing, yeah? Pretty sure everyone here is a fan and all fans know this team is the most dynamic duo in hip-hop. Peace

❤❤❤

Respect. It's a big deal. Especially if you want to be welcomed.

Hell yeah, that sounds about right, the show I went to, there where families with kids in the crowd lol like 2 and 1 year olds in baby carriers with ear protection lmao. What a cool group of people. I've met a few of my favorite artists but none of them seemed as happy to meet me as Slug did. Good vibes lol at the end he said "okay everyone get the hell out, I'm gonna crawl around and find all the joints you dropped" lol that was the end of the show

well that's just like, your opinion, man

It has my favorite line “I don’t know much, but I’m confident the fights fixed”

I imagine I'm not wrong for assuming you haven't heard very many of their songs... Or many real hip hop tracks in general... beware I'm 3/4 PsYcHiC~

@@baronmind954 im from mpls, been listening for 20 years. Use to watch them at gastovs.

What do you think hes tryna say here

@@SunnyvaleTrailerParkSupervisor One who dreams of better times. But one who is a warrior and deals with what one is dealt with.

they truly believe that war will fix the world problems

couldn't be more accurate, love this guy till death tears us apart

I agree 100% ❤🔥

I will always regret no t seeing them play because I had a panic attack. Got to the show.. it was over ☹️

Your probably just a good person. Naturally gravitate towards this.

Had that same thought a few times

@@foreveryactionthereisacons1683 no way!!!!!!

Wow. thanks

He doesn't need anything else just those things. Well he needs THIS

And this lamp ...and that's all I need

Its a parody of the jerk

Love it

"I'm pretty sure of it"

❤❤

I can say that same and I just turned 44 years last week.

were not lucky, but were fortunate, im pretty sure of it!

Id imagine nothong less ! Listening for few years only...❤👍✌️

🤘

Thats the best kind of smile :D

Alexis Ortega R.EYE.P

TheWutang1995 hahaha I’ve totally thought the same thing

Hahaha real spit hes way too incognito

Iceman Kuklinski style.

But still cant find a lighter...thumbs up

@@tylerm0089 He should just use the matches that Slug took

ya dun good

You lucky SOB.

Was that staged? Why I'd everyone giving him shit

Great job bro, not sure what the poit of any of the video is, but it's sooo cool.

@@jfalconredskins I see it as showing his appreciation for the fans, they're so kind, they'd give the chair they're sitting in if someone needed it.

Love that line!

Mre cords Thank you. hahaha

Franklin Sukmynutz I'm jealous. I would love to have just discovered them. My two personal favorites are Always coming back home to you & if you can save me now. And flicker lol

+Franklin Sukmynutz listen to felt?

yes. loved that project

Weird analogy... but it works!

Its magic they dont have to explain shit.lmao

My guess is they had the song play faster when they filmed it and then slowed the video to match the original song.

yeah that's what I also assumed, its just so on point!

I was there, Slug sang at like 4x speed out loud. Then they slowed it down. He had no music in the background to sing to.

James Perez no head phones or ear pieces? he stayed on point if thats not the case

go watch the movie THE JERK and you will see it was scripted he gets everything Steve Martin takes when he hits rock bottom

+no.reply and im picking up a thermos for youuuuuu. totally shouldve been the chorus.

+deets987 as long as its not an ordinary Thermos hehe... that would of been hella funny

+no.reply i havent seen that, ill have to look it up, i love me some Steve Martin

i believe the first line by steve martin is "i was born a poor black child" lol. definetely one of his best.

từ gia quân get fuuuuccccckkk

Maitiu Jarrett I love you. As a friend, as a teacher, as a student, so we can stand up and walk through this bullshit.

Maitiu Jarrett Paint That Shit Gold!🙌

Maitiu Jarrett We're not lucky but we're fortunate, I'm pretty sure of it.

Maitiu Jarrett iloveyou

I lost my mom yesterday its probably the hardest thing that ive been through

+DendayCOD Hit my hard in the feels, good friend died and this was one of his fav songs.

+DendayCOD I wonder if he is talking about eyedea or his mother/father.

***** his father,he makes many references in other songs about his dads death

+DendayCOD that's likely true it's about his dad cause he says "family" tree but he also references eyedeas death all the time too. The song Flicker on this album is entirely about eyedea

Badlands Edge We saw them in Fargo 2 years ago. It was sick!

Yeah we were there too. Small venue, but it made it that much better.

About to be in Fargo again next month!

Hamwick yup lol

I was wondering if he was on mushrooms because that's the only time I have that expression.

I didn't even notice until I read this.. too funny. trippy!

Same!

The guy in the polar bear mask is MF DOOM. He appears in the video as someone in the crowd is wearing a MF DOOM shirt. MF DOOM the GOAT

Hahaha I didn't even notice that but I went back and laughed my ass off! poor tall guy haha

2:07 awkward fist bump

Watching this music video years later you notice so much new shit, I love it.

You know that Atmosphere was on Epitaph once upon a time, right?

I was aware of that, I guess it never really clicked. Still, Death. I always have some pride for Detroit when seeing something about them

Semper Li haha fair enough. They were great.

Semper Li yup. that death t-shirt is super cool!

Joe McShan Thats how I got into them, not much of a hip hop fan normally but found them on an epitaph comp

r.eye.p

Come to the Twin Cities!

***** if i had the money to travel farther than my local gas station, i would love to...

are you in 707? come to Dan foley!

Michael Smith Nah man, I live in the upper east coast.

I just realized my fucking typo time to end my life for embarrassment

The man's a pure gem ain't he

@Thomas Pynchon even when he's completely not serious he managed to pull off this intense sense of wisdom...I'm like one of the only people in my group of friends you haven't seen him live so as soon as did Us in Kenyan government figure out their problems and stop being butthurt with each other I'm going to the next closest show

Makes me.... Cry. Or something.im not sure..

@Thomas Pynchon wow man.. Like seriously. Is this 2012 Reddit grammer police. I apologize for making a post outside and can barely see my screen. I just have to say man honestly, I'm fairly certain if Slug read that he wouldn't want you fucking listening to his music dude. taking the time out of your day to make fun of me as if it would actually insult me is pitiful Now I understand that might be a bit arrogant of me to assume what another man thinks, but ,being a musician myself I certainly wouldn't want a troglodyte pissant who has nothing better to do with his time but mock people online for grammatical errors when knowing nothing about the person.. I can form sentences just fine man. in fact, I daresay I could write better than you, however I don't think I'm better than anybody nor do I think anybody is better than anyone. go ahead and laugh it up with your friends over my response to your comment but just know that it was stupid , and no man that I'm not hating on you I just want you to be better for the next person that you might hurt. Check yourself.. spread love and stop puttin people down. bro

Me too. I love references to The Jerk!! And Sean is so tall and handsome!

I was there too. Lol.

Were u guys briefed about the video shoot beforehand or was it spontaneous?

chaosinorderrr i'm curious too!

They had about two white posters saying this was a music video shoot and if we didn't want to be filmed while we were in line, to please let them know. Then the people handing Slug and Ant the things had to sign individual waivers. We went through the entire video about 8 times. chaosinorderrr Rocco Dipoppa

James Perez so, half spontaneous, if I understood well! cool! thanks, James! ^^

Didn't even realize that lol

he can't seem to light the matches

i

+ReflexEight holy shit I didn't even think about that LOL that's awesome

its an optical illusion

same, I was trippin when this vid poped up random and I tripped even harder!

@ReflexEight I was there. It was shot at normal speed, Slug rapped really fast.They did about 8 takes. Great show.

Ant is a smoker he should have a lighter in his pocket

He doesn't drink or smoke anymore.

Someone gave slug some matches and he gave them to him 😂

🐉

dawg ....he lights his own cigarette at the end bro

Jebidya willson Fortunate.

Jebidya willson your lucky, I can’t stop thinking about leaving it behind. I’m all about trying to be positive but there are certainly things worse than death, and worse then dying.

Oh gosh, what a shame.

You can ways find Ant hanging out before and after the shows. I've probably seen and shook his hand 3 or 4 times. Talked with him a couple other times. Super nice, super cool, actually listens to you when you tell him how much the music means to you and responds in kind.

punkjunkie420 That's so fuckin awesome man!!!! So dope to hear about artists who do that as well, who actually interact fully with their fans. Btw, I love your name dude!! Always cool to see a fellow punk in the hip-hop scene!! Oi Oi Oi!!

***** I just found out about that series after I posted that comment!!!! I had no fuckin idea!! It was good actually. Haven't finished it yet. And I agree dude!!

punkjunkie420 Yeah I met Ant back in June here in Michigan. He was hanging at the bar before they went on stage- totally cool about coming up to him and talking to him/shaking his hand. This dude is the best.

Got my first legal beer at 21 at an atmosphere show @ mesa ampitheater, AZ in line with slug and ant. He's definitely soft spoken, but such a down to earth guy. (well they both are) :]

TheBootGuy it's all he needs.

oh shit! that's dead fuckin on haha, good eye

clarityhiphop tks

And wearing no pants, like in the movie.
