Atmosphere - 1597

[@blake32griffinfan]

slug was so hungry on on this album, i love it

[@ricardo3ten]

You know what i never liked that he said, he said something between the lines of he didnt like this album because he was trying to hard to be a rapper. But tbh this the album that made me love atmosphere tho 💯❤

[@blake32griffinfan]

@@ricardo3ten I have this record on CD and I love how hungry he is, it wouldn't be the same without slug's enthusiasm...

[@joshschnaithman]

The song of my childhood , first heard it on a skate vid , and it opened my eyes to a new world . One of the best songs of all time , hands down !

[@ku420guy]

i feel you there. kicking it old school today

[@gradiusikaruga]

VG10 by any chance? I had the same video and watched it constantly at University

[@gradiusikaruga]

Me too...Vg10 brought me here - Aaron Feinberg!

[@FatherMePlease]

What skate video

[@meechy9166]

Such a classic!!! My fav opening track to an album!!!! This whole album is flawless!!! "The cramps in my stomach dismantle when I hit amplifiers, damn you die!" Slug was Emo and helped a lot of people and really was a pioneer of this sound before it was the "trendy" thing to do!

[@17CommonCents76]

2020 still here..🔥💯🔥💯🔥

[@merlinthelemurian3197]

2021

[@thefly1203]

2022

[@brodygarner6675]

2023🤭🤭

[@viktorrvaughn]

the album was released in 1997. go back exactly 400 years and you've got 1597

[@killamilla702]

U still kicking fam

[@user-cx6nq9nj2z]

Still live/lyfe

[@nokturnal5647]

This is my favorite kind of hip-hop. Moody and semi-futuristic with very mysterious and flowing lyrics.

[@Toniod252]

Squeeeeeeeeezed the brain into a liquid. Poured it into a cup, then I sipped it.. ATMOSPHERE!!!!!!!!!! Man, this chronic im smoking had this song amplified!!!!

[@SiKCorrupt]

Overcast is Atmosphere's best album. Hands down.

[@westhompson3035]

Tell this day... still true.

[@arthurdent1695]

1597 is the seventeenth number from the Fibonacci line

[@rodneyleon3645]

the DOW just set a record intraday drop of 1597 pts

[@TriangleSquare52]

the love that atmosphere creates with their music is unexplainable... ill beats, incredible lyrics, and actually involves heart in their songs..

[@ElijahInTheWilderness]

Sick song right here. Such raw and aggressive delivery and in your face lyrics...love it!

[@itsmeitsme9526]

2021 still banging

[@osiris8605]

Cant get over the title of this song....what does it mean!

[@max.aura10k]

MY FAVORITE HIP HOP ALBUM BY FAR

[@jasondeangelis4982]

Really wish Spawn had a longer verse and it didn’t get tuned down, he was going so hard at the end

[@forestgreenlumberjacket2947]

Yeah, it was so disrespectful and rude of them to fade out his verse while he was going in and didn't even get to finish it :( . I prefer his verse on this to Slug's, Slug's rhyme scheme is pretty off in this song.

[@AF-Twice]

Dope song. He never really spit like this ever again. Not even on this same album.

[@dylanchristensen8671]

Shoes, 7s travels.

[@cp1532]

One of the sickest verses ever from Slug

[@sickofitall915]

first atmosphere song i've ever heard been a fan since

[@chuckles218]

that instrumental is too dope and i just feel the lyrics sooo much

[@cod4rulz]

As much as his fans would like to believe, it didn't get much better than this primordial Atmosphere album. His work today only insults the raw power he once held with his rhymesayin.

[@FULLBOXED_BYJAMES]

word....

[@justinwilliams7217]

I agree!!! All of these younger atmosphere/slug/rymesayers fans really don't have a clue!!!

[@justinwilliams7217]

+EastwestIan that isn't my point!!!

[@dagrimmreepa]

Cmon man, you mean to tell me he didn't bring it on How Much Fun? Or Lemons? Yesterday is one of the best rap songs ever made.

[@dudewithlaptop8663]

+EastwestIan i agree with you. he lost his power but he gained a lot of things in exchange. it's called getting older

[@iambelzar]

I rode my bike to Best Buy to buy this album when I was like 16 blew my mind when I popped it in my cd player.

[@stavrosioannidis4807]

hey guys.. greetings from Greece.. viva!!!! bravoooo keep walking....

[@TheUselessStoner]

damn..this was like.. middle-school shit

[@JAA87]

I was a spring chicken when i heard this for the first time, now im 35 and i realize that i had no idea that i was listening to a masterpiece way back when... 🙏🔥🔥

[@robbpeppertree]

L.V. Beethoven - Symphony No. 3 (4th Movement)

[@Jocotunes]

This dude knows

[@maosaytounge49]

one of the dopest atmosphere songs for real

[@thewarbird0]

this album was released the year i was born and there isn't a song i don't like. still going strong atmosphere, keep it up!

[@brandtsweet]

This makes me sad

[@kayfresch]

soo sick

[@realsiq]

cuz i can read an MC from front to back from the cover to the classified ive passified my mind with my rhyme skills i climb hills and leap slugs flow is one of the best.. glad hes from my hometown

[@wrukk]

23 year.. And still banging

[@marilynflake8271]

Damn. I'll never be over this album or this song. Fucking. Fantastic.

[@silentmusik333]

from the first moment i had ever heard atmosphere to now, he has become the most favorite, respected, and admired artists i have ever known. Slug will never die, because his words can't.

[@bghalvorson]

I used to listen to this, but is still do too!

[@ttbinsanity]

one of the best MC's to spit it out he spit deep and real

[@Shambalamc4]

Henceforth, step within my psychoanalysis Callouses upon my mind make me strain for my lines Out I ripped it squeezed the brain, it made some liquid Drained it in a cup and then I sipped it Atmosphere, the mic let me clutch it Thoughts take flight so fit Slug in your pipe and take a puff kid Fuck it, I heat it like a tea pot, steam hot Upon the roof shoot a marble with the verbal slingshot Take aim, here I came, I'm the same Back in '86, I'da tag my name upon your window pane Stained the mind, a deep shade of residue Voices within the head make choices multiple Multiply Spawn, Slug a little buzz And Atmosphere the scuds, cause here comes the judge Blasted, so pass the kid a mic so we can paint this Image of the gifted-anxious, to flip the language It's the noun meltdown from the outer-shell Now smell the burning flesh fresh from the hell-bound And come on down here, this mind path, I'm half- Mathematic Atmospheric staff with the rhyme craft Comin' to capture, your after-laughter While I'm hanging from this rafter, I have to rip this rapture Cause the cramps in my stomach, dismantle When I tamper with your amplifier, you damn-you die Why try? The sky presents an eternally unfolding spectacle One moment puffs of cumulus clouds skidder across it And next a billowing thunderhead Perhaps ten miles high looms over the horizon Probing the structure of the sky Why try? [Slug] Cause I can read an emcee from front to back From the cover to the classified, I've pacified My mind with my rhyme skills, I climb hills And leap, foolish twitch with a single bound Sending tingles down your spine, designed to swing a pound This ax handle tripled, inch spike protruding From the tip of my mic distributing fuckin' headshots Shots to your head, now you're knee-deep, you need sleep As you trudge through the sludge and the slugs and the bird shit We swarm with the bees and diseases And even if your deejay was Jesus, you could never fuck with these kids I swarm with the bees and diseases And even if your deejay was Jesus, you could never fuck with these kids [Spawn] Yeah muthafucker, you know who you fuckin' with You know what kind ass whooping comes with this You whole crew could get some of this You whack-as-fuck kids is what the subject is Roughnecks live, for only a second Then they give. Oblivion's what you've stepped in Your reps token, should have been lookin' I'm sick of you bitch-ass crews when You tried take what's not yours but you couldn't Take mine, your fake rhymes, spit them you shouldn't What will it be now, another victory Yo who will it be now, it's Spawn that emcee Complete, a true champ, stamped that on my essence Amped shootin' presence, fattenin' each fuckin' sentence When it's time, then it's time to go That's what I know, be rippin' mics at every show we flow But who's got my back though? [Slug] Stress, Beyond, Ant, the Slug [Spawn] So you bests be on your way before there's trouble

[@Scoobydoo975]

When you read this you realize how Unfuckwitable slug is top 5 dead or alive forever

[@CopperHail69]

i got this shit on vinyl.. sounds badass!!

[@akajambas]

THIS SONG IS SO DANK THIS IS LIKE POETIC AND BADassz HAVING A BABY

[@ChapterzMC]

Omg... This is such a sick song. Perfect flow. Props Slug! and Props to Ant for the instrumental!

[@davidp8233]

Amazing.

[@drewzergrey8680]

Sick wit it

[@jattd]

@vapors420 its the vinyl from the sample Ant uses.

[@MrAtmosphereJunkie]

so sick. the definition.

[@SiKCorrupt]

Spawn's voice is perfect.

[@gijz321]

who's the second guy rapping? pretty good!

[@ebenepe]

@gehlhoff that's kind of true, I think what makes overcast good is the progression you're talking about. Take "adjust" or "scapegoat" for example, they kind of lean in the new direction.

[@tastehemlockz9261]

Vibin always..

[@kimboslice1003]

How are you going to say that Overcast is Atmosphere's best album?! ALL OF THEIR SHIT IS FIRE.

[@brandtsweet]

He is just Evolve to dad rap which is totally appropriate in my opinion growing up with rhyme sayers and atmosphere

[@throwindembows]

thanks man, i was gonna upload this song if no-one else did.

[@GRINDHASSUS]

Bangin! thnx for posting this

[@maitreya9ify]

Gimme some Sad Clown Bad Dub II and we'll be rockin'! I don't know who you are, but ,sweet! The whole Overcast shit is what made me dig deeper... oh I am checkin my man...

[@edzr921]

Eminem vs slug.. damn that would be a battle rap for the ages

[@thefly1203]

This reminds me of Eminem infinite

[@SteveSmith11-tb1qd]

REAL HIPHOP LIVES HERE.

[@tristanmarcell3610]

sick song {stay underground hip hop}

[@maitreya9ify]

Slug will live forever. He is an icon. I was walking down the street the other day and and this 15 year old neighbor asked where I was from and I told her (Greater Minneapolis until I was 22) and she asked if I knew of Atmosphere. I told her my story of how I met Sean on Franklin Ave. and she went crazy. Slug preceded M and M, just so you know, and if anything, Em got his juice from Slug's supermarket.

[@brandtsweet]

Pure fire

[@ashrok1982]

"We swarm with the bee's and diseases and even if your DJ was Jesus you couldn't fuck with these kids!" AMAZING!

[@thefly1203]

Classic , timeless

[@Buckleyxxx]

damn this shit is NICE

[@LoveNataliee]

i looooooove you slug ,

[@lroberge09]

allow me to enlighten you ... atmosphere will (hopefully) never be mainstream by definition, because slug and ant are two pioneers of the most successful independent hip-hop label, rhymesayers entertainment. i've been a fan for about 6 years now, and while i've witnessed a dramatic increase in popularity, i've also witnessed my favorite hip hop duo of all time stay true to the musical art they create, untouched by corporate record labels. SUCCESS does not equate to MAINSTREAM :)

[@Cobdain]

Did that pan out? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@UnholyWeaponMaster]

Hey can someone help me find an Atmosphere song? It's the one where Slug is talking about some friends that died and how they died. One was like a car crash, one was drugs. I used to have it on my old computer...sucks. Can't remember album, title, beat or anything just the lyrics.

[@stephaniebombshell5798]

Flicker

[@hiphophead0420]

I want to call the radio station and request this song.. just to see what they would say.

[@6ixeight6ix]

3 Guys are in a bar. one of them says: i have the longest arms in the world. the other one says: i have the longest legs in the world. The third guy says: i have the greates musical talent. so they decide to go to the office of the guinnes book of records. The first guy comes out and sys: Yes! i do have the longest arms The second guy comes out and says: Great! i do have the longest legs The third guy comes out pretty angry and says: WHO THE FUCK IS SLUG?!

[@CrackedStyle]

Well said.

[@techniqueGMOD]

This song goes hard a'f.

[@stevewesthead]

awesome dude thanks!

[@bghalvorson]

Well said, sir.

[@bm.c.7178]

first track of atmosphere I ever heard, for the first time, guy goes hard as fuck

[@hickstylez]

been a fan 13 years now. id say the same thing as you.

[@itsadambaby]

cause Atmosphere always leaves you wanting more...... once you've heard the real stuff you always want more!

[@Anarchy15Peace]

Atmosphere at its rawest

[@davidsantos7731]

“Take mine,your fake rhymes,spit them you shouldn’t” line always stood out.savage

[@fecism1]

Good to see this song has gotten some recognition, that introduction just makes me jizz every time i hear it.

[@thefly1203]

I finally found this

[@theblock621]

@SiKCorrupt This is a classic

[@danbearpig84]

god dammit this album is so motherfucking good

[@CarsByVincent]

I'll check them out

[@TTAM27hipHOP]

pretty bad ass album.... sound is vibration is the best song too mee

[@stashcode]

dope.

[@asmrsnotdeadyet]

This will always be one of the illest raps ever to me

[@TheSerialnumberzero]

We swarm with the bees and diseases and if your DJ was Jesus you could never fuck with these kids. Man this was the first song i heard by atmosphere back in 03'. I was so fucking blown away this album.

[@hockey91ninjawarrior]

@gehlhoff This is my favorite atmosphere album by far.

[@spinelle77]

They never disappointed me once

[@jbomb895]

@6ixeight6ix I think you mean lyrical talent as opposed to musical talent. Music is the beat of the song, and lyrics are the words that are sung to give it meaning. Although many hip-hop artists can write good lyrics, most do not have much musical talent.

[@mfdoom70]

i agree. something about slugs voice sends a chill down your back.

[@CzaroTheInfinite]

I really respect what Iroberge09 is saying they wont touch corporate records

[@TheRealCMeta]

@jbomb895 And just so you know, the voice IS an instrument!

[@TheRealCMeta]

@jbomb895 Well, just to correct you... Definitions of music: "The art or science of combining vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion." or "The art of arranging sounds in time so as to produce a continuous, unified, and evocative composition, as through melody, harmony, rhythm, and timbre." Rappers both express beauty of form and emotion with their words which are spoken in rhythm to the beat... So what's your point?

[@ChrisBrideauMedia]

That's the second time I've seen you post that. I checked it out, It's wack! Keep watching Atmosphere people.

[@cjmcallister89]

@osiris8605 the only thing i can think of is the beat sounds like really old classical music? that's seriously the best i can do lol

[@stevewesthead]

why didnt you upload @? thats one of my favorite songs on the album

[@JamesBondage3]

i always interpreted it as "fatten each fuckin sentence" as if he's beefin up the sentence with his words... either way still my fav. line

[@homegrowntwinkie]

Its one of them. I agree. My Favorite is probably Nothin' But sunshine though.

[@DogsCatsSnacks]

holds up!

[@Cydath]

i agree completely, imagine if Spawn was still with the two of them?

[@Tytyshortfry]

@TechFXpunk HMM PERHAPS, YES

[@nuubian]

@hsinogolf "Let it rain, let it rain, let the water run off of the brain / Let the drops hit my shoulders and leave permanent stains" It's Slug's verse from Deep Puddle Dynamics - Rainmen. KZbin v=EsHr1YwQ-TE

[@KathyRockzUrSockz]

he's like a scientist.making crazy shit with ordinary words

[@fookii99]

check out the track caved in its just as good
