A dad reacts to Atmosphere Little Man. Emotional Reaction - Fears of a parent's worst nightmare.

I wasn't ready for the feels. Slug from Atmosphere delivers an amazing track that had me legitimately choke up a couple of times.

[@cyain09]

1st verse = son, 2nd verse = dad, 3rd verse = self

[@TroutBoneless]

Always how ive interpreted it as well. Based on your confidence, I assume slug has confirmed that? Lol

[@routsond52]

@@TroutBoneless Jacob is his first son's name, Craig is his dad's name and his name is Sean.

[@snkelol]

In an interview slug talked about how this song deeply hurt his father and he didn't have a chance to talk to him before he passed away. Amazing song

[@josephrostkowski8631]

Slugs dad died in a grain elevator, hidden track Lucy Ford ft El P mooo!!!!!

[@Ploppy17]

As someone who had a similar childhood in that respect, the "What's the violence about? Why's it in my house? And even the memories are turned up too loud." lines are a fucking gut punch every time. I love this song for those lines, but goddamn.

[@mr.e3247]

That shit hit hard don't it?!

[@waynepowers7213]

My son is now 13... My dad died a few years ago ... I loved this song 10 years ago... Now.... It hits waaaaaaaay different.... Slug is amazing... Best storu teller around

[@simonkeller4767]

“I was dumb as a kid not listening the the actual skill level” Best part of the video

[@anthonymalone100]

The first verse is to his son, second verse to his dad, 3rd verse to himself. So dope!

[@M311Y]

Really gotta listen to "Yesterday" also if you felt that 2nd verse.

[@chizzek-juan7679]

M311Y, thanks for the recommendation. I'm gonna check it out

[@KingJones4205]

I was going to say the same thing. I can’t listen to that song without shedding at least 1 tear

[@sevencethirty-7944]

that song the melody everything and all puts me there...never lost my bio dad but i have lost dad like figures... atmosphere has alot of tunes like this or that check out "the last to say" its simular to this song but a different perspective point... gonna have to bump some atmo all day missing out on some reality hits... became was the starting of adark haunting in my life 2011 was adark and rough year to for the waves we rode

[@kz689]

I love this song but it is always like a gut punch. Especially after having my own kids. I last saw them live in 2019 heavily pregnant with a toddler at home and it all hit wildly different after being a fan for so long before kids

[@tobinbh3940]

SLUG IS THE BEST STORY TELLER IN RAP!!! verse 1 is his son.2is his dad.3 is himself... so raw and real..its from the soul..hes absolutely incredible.. would also suggest.. yesterday the waitress became sunshine

[@drrevef4253]

He's indeed one of the best!

[@tobinbh3940]

Yep!! I second all those suggestions...all incredible stories

[@andrewwyatt7184]

Always thought the 2nd Verse was Slug writing his Father. 1- slug to his kid 2- slug to his father 3- father to slug

[@jhoovs8486]

Last verse is slug to himself.

[@josephrostkowski8631]

Hear me out Slug first,second, third , person ! Who knows but the beautiful artistry is can be debated for eons!!! Artist!!! He makes sense of a confusion of a man so we don’t feel crazy while going through the same thoughts? I Guess?? Beautiful hip hop😢

[@paccco5491]

Super reaction ! What a masterpiece ! The beat, the way he flows and the story ! Each of these 3 elements alone are dope af but all together is absolutely mind blowing !!!

[@ModernDayMagus]

So I'm sure others have said this, I like the conclusions you drew. One little note... craig is slugs father, and sean is slug.

[@chrisreynolds35]

Thanks for the Atmosphere appreciation man! My favorite

[@GiggleFartThisIsAAltAccount]

My dad actually recommended me this song because “it reminds him of us”. Its now my favorite song.

[@kylehardy2235]

Quite a unique way of interpreting the second verse. Even though you weren’t correct, that’s the beauty of music..

[@Thetubbygurnard]

The first is to his son. Second is dad. Third is himself. This track is astounding. I think slug is one of the best storytellers in hip hop. Became is also a great story about losing friends to drugs but its disguise as a tale of camping ans wolves.

[@basementmadetapes]

Atmosphere is a gift. They may not have peaked like other great duos, but damn if they don’t have the greatest long game. This album and that song are all guts

[@chrisreynolds35]

Beautiful reaction, you got me cryin now ❤

[@andymcpandy2128]

"Last to Say" by Atmosphere is chilling.

[@mannyr7415]

1st verse is slug's son to slug 2nd verse is slug to his dad 3rd verse is slug to slug

[@MediCali951]

Told my wife if something ever happened to me before our son grows up show him this song dedicated to him

[@whatspopping2893]

2nd verse he's talking to his dad. slugs name is Sean. 3rd verse he's talking to himself.

[@DarthRaider520]

Slug is my favorite rapper. He's not considered the GOAT by most, but he's my choice. His lyrics speak to who I am.

[@jadelaboucane2285]

It’s about his son, then his dad, and then about himself

[@TroutBoneless]

This song ripped my heart out when I first heard it in my teens. I can't imagine what it's like to hear it as a father. Good content lol

[@tobinbh3940]

Should check out ..The waitress.Atmosphere are amazing...Slug is the best at weaving a story thru some of the most incredible word play.

[@tobinbh3940]

Slug is a couple years older than me..i feel like we been thru it all together listening to his lytics..from childhood to teen angst to dad life he has such a relatable incredible way to tap into his feelings and just let his heart bleed the words..and so much is incredibly well written with fantastic narratives...definitly someone who needs more recognition in the game... Check out Die motherfucker Die Yesterday The waitress Sunshine

[@_Jake.From.Statefarm_]

My favorite atmosphere song

[@rezn138able]

His son. His dad and himself

[@Jacobmelrose26]

The first verse is Slug talking to his son. The 2nd I believe is Slug talking to his dad and the last verse is someone talking to Slug being that his name is Sean I assume his brother with the phrasing he uses towards him.

[@josephrostkowski8631]

The artistry of slug is great! You will never know but music is relative and you can interpret it how it caught you? Awesome!!!!!! I think this song is about Sean first , second, third person? But who knows and that’s genius!!!

[@jgrooms]

Check out Became. That is my favorite Atmosphere song.

[@shaneepps9212]

Huge atmosphere fan. And so many good tracks. Yesterday was mentioned the waitress Arthur's song Virgo just to name a few

[@deeganman2516]

Favorite song of all time.

[@jak_the_buddha]

One of the best Atmosphere tunes ever. The video is a throwback/tribute to a movie called They Live! It came out in the 80s and this video is exactly like it. You should check it out man it's a fucking amazing movie

[@rezn138able]

You need to check out sage francis and eyedea and abilities

[@josephrostkowski8631]

Love how he said atmosphere and then corrected himself slug But once again the Pippin to Jordan and Ant Gets no credit for the fluency! Hello Ant is a boombat god!!

[@tobinbh3940]

Dear black son..by Brother ali is also powerfull dad rap!!

[@Vanillastump]

Caraif is HIS dad. His son, then his father, then himself.

[@harmonygarcia333]

what an amazing reaction video

[@Thefringefitnessproject]

I will explain how it goes un celebrated... Because its raw, vulnerable, relatable and intimate!!! The listener would have to agree to being willing with checking in with those very own feelings and facing them... They instead choose to drop down and get their eagle on .. also no judgement with those types of tracks they are great and I love them but I'm wise enough to know now that when I am dropping down and getting my eagle on it's quite possible that I'm hiding from the memories being turned up too loud ✌️

[@TroutBoneless]

It's absolutely bonkers to me that you picked up that Slug is a single father from the first line of the song lol

[@slyzombie6166]

This song hits me right in the feels. If you like Atmosphere, you really need to check out Heiruspecs. They are a another rap band out of Minnesota that gets no love.

[@juiceheadtodd]

I love atmosphere, man this song hurts.

[@johnninnin]

you called him slug ! i dont need to say more

[@treetops1563]

his names sean daley

If you haven't already, check out Eyedea.

Little Man was his son. And he meant it.

[@revolution55125]

Yes and no. First verse was to his son, second was to his dad and his childhood and third is to himself

[@rage_dj]

@@revolution55125 The name of the song is "Little Man." He's talking to his son. Specifically in this song.

[@revolution55125]

@@rage_dj google is free. I’ve seen Slug talk about this at First Ave.
