Atmosphere - Camera Thief (Official Video)

[@nyman188891]

"I still kick it with angels, the difference is instead of the bar I'm at my kitchen table", this line is an example for why Atmosphere is one of my top favorite artists.

I think he’s pretty popular but I agree, amazing beats

[@brianlima5866]

Holy shit I just tweeted same today...so great and consistent....underrated as hell💯🫀👊

Love that they just let the beat ride for the length of a verse.

[@sandylotion]

Amazing beats! Hypnotize me like nothing else, omf

[@ariongross2154]

I'm going to speak on everyone's behalf. Atmosphere is loved. This is more than just music. These songs are our poetry to life. The beats are the sound of everything around us. Together, its our motivation to keep us going forward. Sean and Ant, props for what you are doing for us.

[@kevinfinnegan1]

I see a ton of comments on here about how Slug killed it/didn't do enough. Where is the love for Ant? This beat is amazing, best on the album

[@Antman15201]

*snap* Great point Kev, I was thinking on not that but just how amazing and consistent Ant is. He like Slug is always evolving they're art, most good musicians I enjoy do this. But Ant and Slug in my opinion have never in between to different sounds if you know what I mean. Jus seen em about two weeks ago in pittsburgh and like every album tour they do they translate that ever changing sound beautifly.

[@challica]

AMEN! i am not too late, i hope.

[@Yoyoyok0]

Anybody that doesn't like this because of the "pauses" or the "spacing" needs to stop listening to Slug. Any real Slug fan knows that most of his songs are about the lyrics and his message. His flow was phenomenal not to mention his lyrics.. This is passion, this is real Hip-Hop. Edit: Who am i to say what people need to do/listen to? I just hope most of us can understand & appreciate this song on a higher level. One Love.

[@alecperez420]

Amen dude! 🔥🙌🙏

[@SamAlbus]

+Peter Camacho I agree. He already proved that he had flow on his earlier albums like Overcast!. His newer albums are about the lyrics and the story he tells. If you're listening to rap just for the flow and the beat, or the bass and the movement if you will (:D), you aren't listening to it for the right reasons.

The whole album is fantastic. This video fits this song so well. So glad to be growing old with Atmosphere blaring from the speakers. The beats from this album are out of this world. So many treasures, relics of previous albums to be found through out.

[@ForeverHues]

what album?

[@mattholmes06]

Jalen Scott the one that dropped yesterday. "southsiders" its alright.

[@ForeverHues]

[@jupedify]

20th of august will be the second atmosphere show ive seen this year alone! This song is EPIC.

[@musicfrendlii96]

People complaining about the flow and pauses but I don't think rap is about fitting as many words as you can into every every measure. I got a really chilled, lax feeling about this one, really effortless stuff. And as a photographer I appreciate the metaphors about stealing the moments. Great shit slug.

[@hctim1]

Foreal ^^

[@revolbeef]

nobody's saying he had to bust some tech n9ne shit, but he couldve flown to the beat much more poetic. But thats just not how atmosphere raps all the time. Not since his first album

[@jeffw9465]

When I first Bought the album I was sceptic about what i heard. But in the full context- music, atmosphere, message, story and such- it really is Atmosphere @ its best.

[@ryzen89]

It's a statement based rhyme, heavy on the metaphors, says em slow so they sink and can be comprehend - most still go over my head lol

I'm a bit new to Atmosphere. I didn't know they were releasing a new album when I first started listening to them a couple days ago. Their earlier music is perfect. Such good songs with good topics and themes and just perfect beats to go along with it. I've listened through their whole discography and literally spazzed out when I found out today that they had released a new album. I bought the album immediately on iTunes and I'm so happy I did. It's really, really good. Artists like these two are rare nowadays, and I'm happy I found their music.

[@howwrongwewere]

And if i had a time machine, I'd probably use it like a vacuum and try to clean. Ugh this line hits me like a punch to the gut every fucking time. His ability to pack so much power in a single sentence without being pretentious is what makes him so amazing to me. It's just the raw honesty.

[@darkcarnival68]

Wow, ever since "Sunshine" in 2008, I've been glued to Atmosphere. Props.

I connect with everything Slug has written on more than a spiritual level, to even call the connection that would be insulting, his music touches my soul, the day i get to meet him, is the day i will cry, i have so much stuff to ask and not enough time to ask it, someday... Come to Michigan man..

+Thijs Kerssies Creating your own path means that you’re not following in the footsteps of anyone. Not replicating any other actions or movements means that you’re more of a individual, more original in your life’s path. By attaching his feet to this path, he’s making sure that he’s following through on the work he’s done to create his own direction in life.

Saw you in london. 1st time. Not the last. Been listening for 17+ years

[@melinacrystal]

I just wanted to share my perspective of one of his lyrics and see if anyone else agrees because I keep going back and forth about what I think he means. "If I had a time machine I'd probably use it like a vacuum and try to clean." Some of my friends think he means he would try to clean up his past, but I disagree and think that he means that he wouldn't care to use it to change the past but rather leave the past alone and do something "fatherly" and use it as a "vacuum" to clean up (around the house maybe? lol) . As the rest of this song seems to talk about growth and references to who/how he used to be, I think it's a cute and clever line that shows he's happy with the present and has other priorities and things to take care of.

[@andrewcooper8676]

He means cleaning up the past. Sorry.
