clipping. - True Believer [OFFICIAL VIDEO] 

Clipping really love their single shot music videos

I can't help but think about space oddity and old slave songs about black freedom and their struggles whenever I listen to Splendor and Misery. Clipping really tie the themes of alienation and struggles for freedom extremely well.Mixing sci-fi storylines with makes it even sweeter.

the vocalizer at the end always gives me chills

splendor and misery is really something else, it tells you a story, it makes you listen to music and it all can be read on different points of view. this song with this video has it all, its about history, the black history, the music history, from the work songs to the hip hop, but also the sci fi story. besides the fact that is nice to see a video of a song you have been listening for a year. cheers for clipping

I was expecting his lower half to be in rags and shackles.

One of my favorite songs from the album. When the bells kick in I just lose it.

The beat uses a printer oh god I love Clipping

splendor and misery is one of my favourite albums and I was so hype when I saw this. the story this album tells is insane.

so cargo 2331 has been given a face

clippings videos are always so well done and original,, i rly hope they win the hugo award for splendor and misery fuck

HOLY SHIT, finally some music videos for one of my favorite hip hop albums ever :')

clipping. always have some weird and wonderful visuals to go along w/ their music

I've been listening to this song on loop and I don't think I've ever heard anything so incredible.... It's magical. It's powerful. It's emotional. It's complex & interesting. It's beautiful!!

*realizes there is a god because a new clipping music video is out*

Who needs drugs when clipping. can send you High up into space themselves?

I was listening to True Believer when I got a notification of this being posted! I legit screamed! Astounding execution, and the one-shot film method worked very well for this song. Amazing!

It's groups like these, that give me an optimistic look at the future of music.

Me emerging from my room after listening to clippings entire catalogue from start to finish

im amazed, frightened, and weirded out by this video at the same time

i am so fascinated by this. it fits perfectly, cant take my eyes of it. the song + visual are so original and wonderful, very nice job

Space man does an up

How come, that clipping has some really intersting music, music videos of such artistic quallity and only around 200k views? I just don't understand

True Believer Lyrics Gods Flesh is hanging in sun Purple sky and this war Women shooting their guns Men protecting their shores Running red as these ships Made for cargo and death Is a taste on the lips Kissing any ground left To the sky with them all Not a one left on land Traded in for steel hauls And they singing like: True believer, that I know when I'm goin' home True believer, that I know when I'm goin' home True believer, that I know when I'm goin' home I've been afraid Three siblings have been to the gods And they fight as siblings do The world was only water then The universe was fresh and new And [?] poisoned [?] food Once just to see what he would do He vomited the sun which dried The water leaving land and soon After came moon And stars and animal And man of many hues The white one in the image of A sickly god Would get his dues True believer, that I know when I'm goin' home True believer, that I know when I'm goin' home True believer, that I know when I'm goin' home I've been afraid Man walks moon And he makes time come to a standstill One gloved hand Diamonds are flickering like candles This one slip Registered worlds away In vandals Raised to find This race of beings that could handle Time inside other bodies So they could sell it The one thing In the universe No one held yet Gifts in blood that had been shed as long as time had Time and he are inseparable in his mind, sad He must carry the burden of being the one That time chose Situates him in front of the gun Talk that talk Stay outta the head and become the best Then times stops And finally there he be, rest True believer, that I know when I'm goin' home True believer, that I know when I'm goin' home True believer, that I know when I'm goin' home I've been afraid

This is one of few songs that I struggle with when it comes to understanding the meaning. At first I thought I understood but as I listened more I've become more confused. I can't tell if the meaning follows the theme of the rest of the album. Any help?

The length of this video is a lit number

Great video :)

the pants should've been torn like the album cover especially because it would've been at the end of the video

played it with a higher tempo, it will hit soul with impeccable propulsion. guey
