I'm actually really good friends with Slug's son and I can tell you that he is a really good person. I think he turned out extremely well given the circumstances.
I cry every single time I hear this song. It just hits different when you are in an abusive relationship that you escaped from. The part where my tears start falling is when he says "Please put your shoes on and step into that warm weather, go get yourself a more better forever". 😞💔 I swear it always makes me remember waking up back home, safe and far away from my abuser. The California sun hitting my face first thing in the morning & knowing I was truly alive again! I'm so grateful for real artists who make real music like this.
I listen to this song when I miss my husband. I think of what he saw as a kid, the things he was raised with. I think of the things I saw growing up and how the fact that he didn't break my bones ment I was okay, I had seen worse. I refuse to let my daughter see the things I have seen. He's right when he says "you won't be okay". Bruses fade, but the pain will always be there.
Slug is the most real rapper I know. He's extremely genuine and had many real life experiences that make his music fascinating to listen to. Keep it real!
How does anyone thumbs down this? Soul-less, heartless people are the only people i can think of who could bring themself to thumbs down this. Everytime i listen to this. i gotta replay like 10 times. then i move on with my day hahaha.
Ghosts!! Your performance is passionate and beautiful....but it hurt to watch! Stay strong if this is really a part of your past. We all have to move on.
In the last two albums slug has been rapping over live instruments, instead of sampled beats (which isn't bad at all), but it makes me wonder what ant does anymore. Even at live shows ant just seems to be chillin in the back, sometimes laying down a drum beat. Anyone got answers? Correct me if im wrong. Much respect to both members of Atmosphere.
@TinyJiant Alright, I guess I will. If he's using it as an effect, and I do have to admit that it works with the song in a way, then I may be pleasantly surprised.
well, I guess they would have to go out for coffee or lunch or something to get to know each other. I'm surprised though that no mainstream artists have tried to connect with Atmosphere, they're pretty well known.
@TheZatrahc - Please dive a little deeper into their catalog. If you don’t you are robbing yourself. The disjointed flow is an effect for this song. Good luck and enjoy.
Still relevant been 9 years since this video is made want to post a fresh, to keep it up to date it's 2020 we have a presidential election coming up people have been trapped inside their house is due to a week pandemic a 2% death rate or less domestic violence has been huge also nowadays they're doing this hand signal thing we put up four fingers 3 fingers and then a closed Palm with a thumb between the index and ring or something did this song should be like the spokes men Style song for
Sounds like you might want to talk to someone about anger issues my brother. As men we have to train ourselves that hitting women isn't an option. If we're really at the point where we're thinking violence, its time to get out of that relationship. Anger is an extremely powerful force and everyone needs some training on how to deal with it in a healthy way. Nothing wrong with getting some help navigating through these things man.
Honestly, Slug would do a lot of good for Em's creativity. Let's not be a hater here, Em can be just as much of a genius as Slug. Look at songs like Stan, 8 Mile Road, and Deja Vu. Just because Slug is more consistent(probably the most consistent rapper of all time to be honest) doesn't mean Em can't match him at his best. Slug and Em could probably come up with some good shit and Em would probably take the tracks a bit more seriously considering they'd be more conceptual.
Slug have said himself in interviews that he doesn't want to make music with people he doesn't know personally. He said that it was nothing wrong with doing it, but he wouldn't have his music influented by people and then find out that they actually might be douchebags...
@mbormel Type Slug into youtube and "watch" the songs without real videos...he has featured on a shit load of peoples songs...and done full albums with Murs and Atmosphere is pretty much a collab group anyhow. If you know your shit that is
Say what you want about Eminem but I honestly dont know why these two never crossed paths. I mean slug has been in the game since 97 yet they never worked together.
