Atmosphere Appreciation & Discussion

[The Ruler 09]

 

[The Ruler 09]

[Verse 1]
I thought I saw you yesterday But I didn't stop cause you was walking the opposite way
I guess I could have shouted out your name But even if it was you I don't what I would say
We can sit and reminisce about the old school
Maybe share a cigarette because we both fools
Chop it up and compare perspectives
Life, Love, Stress, and Setbacks
Yes, You could tell me how hard you had it And you could show me all the scars to back it
And we can analyze each complaint Break it down and explain these mistakes I make I like to tangle up the strings of the puppetry
But you knew me back when I was a younger me You've seen Sean in all types of light And I've been meaning to ask you if I'm doing alright

[Hook x2]
Yesterday, was that you? Looked just like you Strange things my imagination might do Take a breath, reflect on what we've been through Or am I just going crazy cause I miss you?

[Verse 2]
I'm shook. I know
I pushed when I should have pulled
Took it all back if I could, I put that on my soul
And I would make a top notch good listener If you could block off a little time out to give it here
Since we went our separate paths
I've hit a couple of snags
That remind me of the past
I can't front I'm having a blast But damned if I ain't afraid of how long it's gonna last
Sitting here wishing we could kick it
Give me your opinions I do miss the criticisms
I didn't mean to be distant Make a visit
I'll wait up and keep the coffee brewing in the kitchen
But who am I jokin' with? Theres no way that you and I will ever get to re-open it
It doesn't matter this is more than love And maybe if I'm lucky, get to see you out the corner of yesterday

[Hook x2]

[Verse 3]
And when you left I didn't see it coming I guess I slept it ain't like you was running You crept out the front door slow And I was so self-absorbed I didn't even know
And by the the time I looked up, it was booked up Put it all behind you, the bad and the good stuff A whole house full of dreams and steps I think you'd be impressed with the pieces I kept
You disappeared but the history is still here
That's why I try not to cry over spilt beer
I can't even get mad that you're gone Leaving me was probably the best thing you ever taught me
I'm sorry, it's official I was a fistful I didn't keep it simple Chip on the shoulder, anger in my veins Had so much hatred now it brings me shame
Never thought about the world with out you And I promise that I'll never say another bad word about you
I thought I saw you yesterday But I know it wasn't you, cause you passed away, Dad

You know what, people sleep on Atmosphere, Slug as a rapper and Ant as a producer, they have some seriously classic incredible joints...

 

[The Ruler 09]

Bumping Atmosphere now, some GREAT beats, GREAT concepts, GREAT writing, just brilliant work.

very sad song

 

[ManBearPig]

 

[the cool]

how is this song not mentioned yet?

 

[Art Barr]

i have heard some people compare macklemore to slug. i dont see the comparsion though.

Damn near everyone in rap is a slug ripoff.
even, most of these off key emo gangsta/trap rappers.

[Art Barr]

I thought Slug was white originally but apparently heard he was mixed race? But yeah I feel Slug, I'm not sold on Macklemore yet though I'm open minded.

He is mixed.
I know from him saying it to us in convo, at a sub t show about fifteen years ago.

I never liked the Atmosphere as a band era at all (To All My Friends & Family Sign) but they really came back strong on Southsiders last year if anyone hasn't checked it yet:

 

[DJ Mart-Kos]

I prefer Brother Ali over Ant beats
