Atmosphere

[CellarGhosts]

One of the rap artists out there I can truly say I really enjoy. (the others are Sage Francis, Kanye West, and the old stuff like Public Enemy, NWA, Sugarhill Gang, etc)

Anyway...I just got done watching the video for "Trying to Find a Balance." Great song. And Seven's Travels is just a really cool album overall.

[TheOtherAndrew]

Yeah I got some last words, fuck all of y'all
Stop writing raps and go play volleyball



Epitaph is getting better at signing rap then they are at signing punk.

[aolsux]

slug writes some good jams

[abusedcat]

saw 'em 3 years ago, amazing. slug walked on the crowd.

[christinamorgan]

i'm not a huge fan of rap, but there is something about Slug that makes me keep listening to them.

[MIKEY_HORROR]

Atmosphere is good stuff.....saw him at warped one year.

[CellarGhosts]

Atmosphere is good stuff.....saw him at warped one year.
Cool deal. I personally can't wait for Warped this year.

saw 'em 3 years ago, amazing. slug walked on the crowd.
Nice, haha. Slug seems like a real cool individual haha.

slug writes some good jams
True dat, farizzle hahaha.

Yeah I got some last words, fuck all of y'all
Stop writing raps and go play volleyball



Epitaph is getting better at signing rap then they are at signing punk.
I was just a ghost trying to catch some Miss Pac-man!

haha, I love "Trying to Find a Balanc." Definatley one of my favorite Atmosphere songs.
And yes, Epitaph's best signings lately have been the stuff that isn't punk rock.

[BGP]

seven's is one of my favorite albums of all time

[CellarGhosts]

Cool. I really like the videos they have for "National Disgrace" and "Trying to Find a Balance" as well.

[a speedo model]

Good stuff.

[CellarGhosts]

Very true.

Rockin' "Bird Sings Why the Caged I Know" right now.

[Wobbie]

I liked that song with the whistling, that i saw the video of on the Punk-O-Rama 10 DVD, so i downloaded God Loves Ugly (only one i could find at the time) and i didn't really like it.

I'm only a fan of a couple of rap artists as well though. Probably even more limited than you, haha. Sage Francis, Gavin Castleton, Grand Buffet. That's about it i think, haha.

[NWADOC]

Hit or miss with me. Still, I prefer him a lot better than the other 'emo rappers'. (Sage Francis, Brother Ali, etc.)

[Daveyhavok832]

Fucking ATmosphere and Sage Francis rival Ghostface and RZA for The HIP HOP CROWN... I love atmosphere. I bought Seven's Travels when it first came out, and I loved You Can't Imagine How Much Fun We're Having. I have tried to go back and get earlier stuff and its all good. Epitaph brings it hard to the hip hop world.

[CellarGhosts]

Bring it hard to the world of hip-hop Epitaph does indeed.

[cfear]

The Coup is better.

[CellarGhosts]

I'm here to laugh, love, fuck and drink liquor...

haha yes, the Coup is great, but I still would say I prefer Atmosphere.

[Daveyhavok832]

Hit or miss with me. Still, I prefer him a lot better than the other 'emo rappers'. (Sage Francis, Brother Ali, etc.)
apparently you haven't heard the new Sage disc...

"This is hip hop for the people... stop calling it emo. WAH!"

[Daveyhavok832]

The Coup is better.
nah

[cfear]

nah

They are. Seriously. Some of their older stuff is fucking great. "Jesus the Pimp" or whatever it's called is a good song. Also, Eyedea and Abilities is fucking great.

[Jess7286]

Slug is signed to Epitaph now? No way, I thought he was under Rhymesayers...

[Daveyhavok832]

They are. Seriously. Some of their older stuff is fucking great. "Jesus the Pimp" or whatever it's called is a good song. Also, Eyedea and Abilities is fucking great.
I like Eyedea and Abilities.... another Epitaph rap group... but I stand by my opinion in saying Atmosphere is better.

[Daveyhavok832]

Slug is signed to Epitaph now? No way, I thought he was under Rhymesayers...
he is on Rhymesayers... but its an Epitaph imprint label...

[CellarGhosts]

I like Eyedea and Abilities.... another Epitaph rap group... but I stand by my opinion in saying Atmosphere is better.
Yeah, I agree as well. Eyedea and Abilities are really good too, as are the Coup, but I still say that the best Epitaph rap/hip-hop artist is either Sage Francis or Atmosphere. Im not sure.
But still, the Coup is really good too.

[Jess7286]

he is on Rhymesayers... but its an Epitaph imprint label...

Oh? I don't think so. From what I know about Rhymesayers, they're an independent label started by Ant and Brother Ali and their distro is Warner. Wiki'd it. Atmosphere might have released an album or two with Epitaph but I believe it's with exclusive license from Rhymesayers.

[CellarGhosts]

Man...Im all confused now. I thought that Rhymesayers was an Epitaph imprint too.

[WasteofPaint31]

I love Tryining to Find a Balance

[CellarGhosts]

Word. Fucking great song.

[williek311]

If you really like Seven's Travels then you should def pick up Lucy Ford it is by far their best album. Also listen to Brother Ali.

[AP_Punk]

The Coup is better.

Fuck yes.

But I still do like Atmosphere a lot, too.

[Daveyhavok832]

Oh? I don't think so. From what I know about Rhymesayers, they're an independent label started by Ant and Brother Ali and their distro is Warner. Wiki'd it. Atmosphere might have released an album or two with Epitaph but I believe it's with exclusive license from Rhymesayers.
got it now... I was confused. Epitaph had a liscencing deal with Rhymesayers for the release of Seven's Travel. I had always just assumed it was an imprint label. My bad.

but speaking of Epitaph imprints,are The Slackers still on Hellcat?

[CellarGhosts]

If you really like Seven's Travels then you should def pick up Lucy Ford it is by far their best album. Also listen to Brother Ali.
Cool cool. I'll check out that album, as well as Brother Ali.

[AhmadAdvisory]

I saw Felt at Rock the Bells last week.

They did some stuff from Atmosphere...it kicked butt.

[popdisaster00]

I love atmosphere. they're great. the older, the better.

others: brother ali, sage francis, and ice cube.

[Czarsy]

Yeah I got some last words, fuck all of y'all
Stop writing raps and go play volleyball
Haha, this is one of the worst rhymes I have ever heard. Shit is whack. Fuck emo rap.

[HangsLikeHeaven]

Their B-Sides and Unreleases are damn amazing.

[SubrosaSeductiv]

Anyone ever listen to LP. Him and Darrell from Gj have a rap project that is pretty sweet. It reminds me of Atmosphere.

[Czarsy]

Do you mean El-P? I dig his shit, but his best work is the production of Cannibal Ox's Cold Vein. Flawless.

Also, I have a feeling that Daryl Palumbo will not be a very good rapper.

[sundaydrivetsl]

i live by slug. what?

[dustyfloors]

Sad Clown Bad Winter is coming out next Tues.
Anyone else psyched about this!?

[Starbursting]

I remember the commercial for Atmosphere, lol.

[Dr. Acula]

Hahahaha...I just wanted to say I get a kick out of picturing Chris listening to NWA.

Also, Atmosphere isnt bad...I think I actually prefer P.O.S. though.

[CellarGhosts]

Hahahaha...I just wanted to say I get a kick out of picturing Chris listening to NWA.

Also, Atmosphere isnt bad...I think I actually prefer P.O.S. though.
Hahaha, I dont listen to them that often anymore, but I still like to now and then. :-D

[HangsLikeHeaven]

One of my favourite rap artists asides from Eyedea.

[CellarGhosts]

For whatever reason I'm really not a fan of Eyeda. I'd say that my top favorite rap artist would be Sage Francis, with Atmosphere as my 2nd.

[HangsLikeHeaven]

I've seen countless underground videos of Eyedea out-rapping Brother Ali, Propane, Slug and many more. He's insaaaane.

[CellarGhosts]

Haha, nice. maybe I just need to give his music a second chance.

[HangsLikeHeaven]

You should!

[sundaydrivetsl]

Atmosphere finally made a good record, yea right that shit almost sounds convincing. the last time i played a show as sick and contradictive of this was the last time i played a show in Cincy. Get real they tell, only if they knew how real this really gets. they would stop acting like a silly bitch. they would respect the cock, whether or not they believe in it.

[sundaydrivetsl]

man, i really butchered the lyrics, its hard to type songs when not listening to them

[collystrings]

sunshine

[dustyfloors]

I've seen countless underground videos of Eyedea out-rapping Brother Ali, Propane, Slug and many more. He's insaaaane.

As much as I love Slug and Ali, I'd have to agree with you that Eyedea will kill them freestyling.

However, Aesop Rock is probably my #1

[AP_Punk]

The new songs sound really sweet.

[LaCaptainLiz]

If I Was Santa Claus has got to be one of my all time favorite songs.

[Alexxx]

I love his stuff.

[chrisx519]

i used to be really into atmosphere, now i am just into Ant's beats

[dustyfloors]

Don't know if you guys are aware of this.
Just a little BRAND NEW FREE ALBUM

http://rhymesayers.com/atmosphere

I haven't really listened to it all the way through, but solid Atmosphere stuff.

[AP_Punk]

It's tight.

[CellarGhosts]

Oh nice, I just checked out that new album, good stuff.

[Czarsy]

Atmosphere is fucking garbage, along with Sage Francis, Eyedea and Abilities and all those dudes. Corny ass "emo" rap.

[vinyljunkie]

how someone can say they are into underground rap "like atmosphere and sage francis" and also be into kanye west ill never understand.

[AP_Punk]

emo rap lol

[CellarGhosts]

emo rap lol
haha, for real.

[Czarsy]

how someone can say they are into underground rap "like atmosphere and sage francis" and also be into kanye west ill never understand.
???

Just because someone likes underground rap doesn't mean they are not allowed to like popular artist............

I dig a ton of underground rap, and Kanye is good (at least up until his most recent album). He writes good lyrics and is a nice producer. That's a-okay in my book.

[dustyfloors]

how someone can say they are into underground rap "like atmosphere and sage francis" and also be into kanye west ill never understand.

I don't think it's too crazy to like "underground rap" (I wouldn't consider either example you listed "underground") and still like a more poppy type rapper like Kanye.

[Cumalus]

you caa't imagine how much fun we're having... i love that title

[CellarGhosts]

definitley agreed with both. well said.

[AP_Punk]

What's everyone think of the new single, "Shoulda Known"?

Shoulda Known

[tfar06]

gods bathroom floor is their best song

[softhands]

New album 'When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold' April 22nd!

[mrzippo3]

I used to be into Atmosphere a few years ago, then kinda stopped listening.. past week or so i've gotten back on the train and been playin catch up. Some good stuff, glad to be back.

[AP_Punk]

I'd like to have that deluxe edition of the new album.

[allhourcymbals]

What's everyone think of the new single, "Shoulda Known"?

Shoulda Known
After Strictly Leakage, I'm a little disappointed by this song and hope the rest of the album doesn't sound like this.

[allhourcymbals]

Shoulda Known has grown on me a little. 'You' and 'Yesterday' are my favorite tracks off the new album so far.

[SubrosaSeductiv]

Nothing will ever stack up to Seven's Travels though unfortunately. Slug is still amazing, maybe its just the nostalgia.

I can't believe that album is scratched up.

[allhourcymbals]

Strictly Leakage is no Seven's Travels, but it still is really good. Also, Guarantees off the new album is wonderful.

[SubrosaSeductiv]

I just heard Yesterday again, I guess I must've been spacing out when this track first came on. This is so fucking solid.

[allhourcymbals]

:nod:

Wild Wild Horses sounds good so far too.

[HangsLikeHeaven]

Puppets is amazing. Loving this album so far.

[Jumpoff]

Not personally a big fan.. the song Hair was good, but otherwise Slug really doesn't hold my interest. Ant producing for Brother Ali. on the other hand, is amazing.

[PaulsRightNut]

I heard You on the radio tonight. I thought it was awesome

[mrzippo3]

I really really love, "You can't imagine how much fun we're having" ..anyone else really into this one?

[PaulsRightNut]

so I think they're going to be performing on connan obrian this week

[chipdip18]

This one of the rap artists i want to get into. Where should i start?

[Chris Fallon]

I don't listen to much hip-hop, but the new album is fucking great.

[xglassjawx]

Yep.

Wasn't incredibly familiar with him before the latest album, but it's a keeper.

[allhourcymbals]

I really really love, "You can't imagine how much fun we're having" ..anyone else really into this one?
Yesss, I really love 'That Night' from there.
This one of the rap artists i want to get into. Where should i start?

I'd say either Seven's Travels or the Lucy Ford EPs.

[kearn1tm]

One of the rap artists out there I can truly say I really enjoy. (the others are Sage Francis, Kanye West, and the old stuff like Public Enemy, NWA, Sugarhill Gang, etc)

[kearn1tm]

This one of the rap artists i want to get into. Where should i start?


You Can't Imagine How Much Fun We're Having is their most accessible LP. Start with the track Say Hey There.

[PaulsRightNut]

I don't know if its the same everywhere but When Life Gives You Lemons... was on sale for 10 bucks at Target. (the non deluxe edition but still a pretty sweet price)

[hockeyguitar99]

I got the deluxe edition at best buy and it's the only hiphop album i listen to on a regular basis

[chipdip18]

It's good stuff, that's for sure.

[ThemChains]

I like the instrumentals on the new album.

[mrzippo3]

Anyone going to the show tomorrow night at the Wiltern?

<--- fuckin excited

[wtfmates]

You Can't Imagine How Much Fun We're Having is their most accessible LP. Start with the track Say Hey There.

Heh, that was actually the song that first got me into atmosphere a couple years ago.

[RamInGoreville]

I'm going to the Baltimore date!

Can't fucking wait.

[Charles777]

Besides Kanye West,
I would say Atmosphere is the only rap I like.
:/

50 is okay too.

[AP_Punk]

[Dr. Acula]

Thats pretty sad.

[hockeyguitar99]

Thats pretty sad.

Haha wow, that was from months ago, I listen to a lot now.

[ThemChains]

Atmosphere is decent when I want to get my white angst on.

[ablueskytragedy]

bump. So fucking good. Listening to his early stuff mostly, everything before lucy ford. God's Bathroom Floor is insane.

[chipdip18]

You Can't Imagine The Fun We're Having is so good.

[KevinForReal]

For everyone, I'd check out Atmosphere's Sad Clown Bad dub series. They release four a year and some of my favorite tunes from them have come off these releases. They also release a lot of free shit during too. A respectable hip hop group constantly striving to make the best music they can.

[chipdip18]

Yeah, Atmosphere is great stuff.

[mrzippo3]

Seven's Travels really does nothing for me.. I keep giving it a try, but it never thrills me

[chipdip18]

When Life Gives You Lemons, Paint That Shit Gold and You Can't Imagine The Fun We're Having straight up own.

[Indoor Living]

I'm bumping this shit. I got lucky, and Atmosphere played at my school last weekend. Fucking epic concert. Such great rap music.

[KevinForReal]

Wait... Duluth, MN.

Your school.... I live in Duluth. Is UMD or CSS your school?

[Indoor Living]

Wait... Duluth, MN.

Your school.... I live in Duluth. Is UMD or CSS your school?
UMD. He played with Murs. Only for a little while, but I'm still counting it. Where are you from in Duluth?

[KevinForReal]

UMD. He played with Murs. Only for a little while, but I'm still counting it. Where are you from in Duluth?


Shit, I missed that show...Was that the same night Murs was at Pizza Luce? Cuz I missed that too. I think P.O.S is coming to town soon....

I'm an SCSU grad, from the TC, just moved here.

[Indoor Living]

I'm an SCSU grad, from the TC, just moved here.
That's cool, dude. I know not a lot of people around this area, so it's cool to meet someone that's a member on here. The show I saw was Murs, Sims, and Atmosphere, at UMD. They played a free show, it was fucking nuts. P.O.S. is the 22nd, I believe? Check me on that, I could be wrong.

23rd of October it is...At Luce....With Eyedea and Abilities. Should be pretty sick.

[Indoor Living]

23rd of October it is...At Luce....With Eyedea and Abilities. Should be pretty sick.
You planning on going?

[KevinForReal]

You planning on going?


Yeah, I'll be there for sure. I like the shows at Luce

[Indoor Living]

Yeah, I'll be there for sure. I like the shows at Luce
I'm seeing Brother Ali there tomorrow.

[amo.]

Bump. Currently on an Atmosphere kick, especially Sad Clown Bad Summer Number 9. Great music for the days when the weather is great.

Slug is a beast. You ever heard him freestyle? true genius. You ever hear Charles Hamilton and Sonny Bamboo? other masters in hip-hop.

[ohmessylife]

Of course I have.

yjveH2hRezQ

Not personally a fan of Charles Hamilton or Sonny Bamboo.

[amo.]

Not really sure how I feel about Slug's freestyles. Sometimes I feel like he's pretty good but other times I'm just not feeling it.

[Nay626]

I'm not insane, in fact I'm kind of rational
When I be askin', "Yo, where did all the passion go?"
gotta love sluggo!<3

[benbton]

rap isnt really my thing but i could get away with rock rap like linkin park type stuff

[ohmessylife]

NOOB here.


Not really sure how I feel about Slug's freestyles. Sometimes I feel like he's pretty good but other times I'm just not feeling it.


No one feels every freestyle from a certain artist, if you're talking about a specific one: name it, some people(on here maybe) CAN feel it and might actually give you a little insight on the lyric/song. I love atmoshpere, so I'm biased, but I could listen to evey song of his for the rest of my life and be satisfied but it's only because it speaks to me and I FEEL LIKE I know where he's coming from every time.

edit: PUNK fan who loves atmoshere, who knew? Also: How's my posting? I miss the criticisms:wave:
