DOOMTREE "Final Boss" (Official Music Video)

[@TK-ui2th]

this has been criminally underrated for years

[@rawb-dawg]

Sooo... Why aren't these guys mad famous? This whole album is dope af.

[@greaserspillett9498]

no joke

[@johnskinner7271]

Because they refuse to be chained to a production agency.

[@PS-yz9nf]

They’re garbage suburban hip hop lmao. Nobody wants to listen to this shit.

[@patrickkenney2259]

No kings was legendary.

[@patrickkenney2259]

@@PS-yz9nf Says the douchebag listening to them. I bet you're into Migos and future and all the true trash. Get lost, loser. Go be negative elsewhere :)

[@Babymech]

Man, Cecil killed it on this one.

[@lynnstacks]

LMFAO why ...

[@DoomsdayZach]

bruh.... dat Night Vale doe

[@SecretCh0rd]

He'll keep ruling his band with his invisible hand. ;^)

[@FunnyHappinessThing]

After looking at the lyrics more in depth and other theories on this song and video what I have come up with is that the song mainly deals with adversity is ones personal life, how they handle said adversity and/or how it reflects onto others, and using the video game motif to tie it in together hence the final boss tittle and references to games. Many of the lyrics reference death and how they rise again and do what they do like they never have before aka alluding to having extra lives in a game but in this case of real life relating to adversity. This is why after each person is killed in the video it is all set up once again to be tried over and over until they overcome and beat the "Final Boss" With this Doomtree can also tie in struggles faced politically, personal, and so on to include the other topics presented in the video/lyrics.

[@TrackFourtyFour]

it took me 30 seconds to decide this was the best music video ever made

[@boudicaastorm4540]

I've always liked the line "You'll know what I made from the marks on my hands" because I used to write song lyrics and stories in HS & college, in the margins of my notes, and sometimes instead of taking notes. The more furiously and intensely I was writing, the more my writing hand would sweat, and I'd get blue and black ink all over the sides of my hand from resting it on the paper, sometimes even to the point where you could clearly see parts of words on my hands. I feel this lyric so hard because writing songs and stories has always been my thing, and I always think of this, and how hard I work at it. Not to mention the times when I was able to write my creative stuff *and* keep up w/ the notes in the class, I've always been proud of that.

[@NowhereBeats]

Their best song, glad to see by the comments that it was featured in the UFC2 game.

[@oshof801]

Cecil Otter in the dining room with everything but a candle stick.

[@amberlee4536]

Josh Ross ayyyyyyy

[@redundantqwail9088]

The 808s hit so hard I lifted a foot out of my chair each time they sounded off.

[@diywrites8703]

Cecil .. killing it as always

[@TrackFourtyFour]

this really makes me want a video for every track on all hands

[@parasiteyv2]

I was just thinking last night that they should do what Sonic Youth did with Goo!

[@dragon53777]

TrackFourtyFour I feel like that too....but really they could do this with any song.

[@adyorvanderlei4767]

These guys should sell out already and be famous they got everything going for them!! Id still listen to them.

[@qrs8705]

Kind of an overreaction Cecil... probably could have just asked to squeeze a verse in.

[@bommie]

Doomtree does it again. This track is BEAST. I wish Cecil had a verse too but we can't all get what we want :p

[@MamaJoyce]

RIP Bill Nunnelly. Taught me everything I know. ❤

[@baphomick]

This is why I don't fuck with broccoli.

[@KitchenNinjaPlantMan]

First of all, love that Cecil does the reset and what does he say, Just like magic, you're all in one piece again. Dessa, I've been reading through your books, Spiral Bound, My own devices...if anyone could talk directly to my would it would be you. You magical with a pen, although I prefer pencil now as it doesn't bleed in the rain. I hope to meet you very soon, or perhaps we've already met and I just wasn't ready. I love you. I love you all Soo much and you have helped me get through some of the darkest times in my life. Thank you for helping keep that candle lit. Rhymesayers, Doomtree, the prophets of change for a new generation that won't quit!

[@weirdmikeisgone]

I've been looking for this song for almost a whole decade.

[@elpeopuruful]

Obsessed with this track and the video is goddamn fantastic. Dessa is my spirit animal.

[@dragon53777]

katrina elliott And what a spirit animal to have....

[@BenevolentGodzilla]

katrina elliott I'm totally obsessed with that track & video, too :)

[@lagginswag]

dope! kind of reminds me of the movie "would you rather?". also of this quote, "* No matter how much you feed a wolf, he keeps looking at the forest" by Ilse Lehiste.

[@amberlee4536]

Dessa: *throws napkin at P.O.S* Me: "SHE BEEN WENDY LIVIN WITH THE LOST BOYS"

[@_Nafferty]

Hope you all release a new album at some point ❤

[@SiberianKissed]

God I've missed doomtree. This album sucked me right back.

[@RisqueBisquet]

Just saw these guys live in London. Holy SHIT, what a show. Dessa just stepped right over the barriers and did a whole number right down in the middle of it. Great night.

[@np02058]

“That’s the second best doomtree video I’ve ever seen!” (Guybrush Treepwood)

[@comadose25]

np02058 ...tHreepwood *cough* -- extra points for the reference though. ;)

[@np02058]

Meh Potato tomato ;)

[@phatdog45]

Cecil Otter murdered everyone cause they didn't give him a verse on the track lol

[@IEatYourSandwiches]

real talk I bet they had a discussion that was like "okay so four of us get verses and then one of us gets to kill everyone else, who wants to kill everybody" and then cecil put his hand up before pos could lmfao

[@TOPSyndicate]

one of the hardest tracks I heard this year

[@rorygiambalvo2955]

I like how at the end they're sitting in different seats.

[@xentrik]

I CAME HERE ON MY OWN, AND IVE NEVER PLAYED UFC 2. FIGHT NIGHT THESE NUTZ. DOOMTREE!!!!

[@darkmagician1710]

Eat this 🍆

[@thenewlegend25]

"There goes Johnny sweeping the legs" best line ever. Doomtree just f'n beast

[@theyliveglasses4667]

SIMS bars are so so underrated, once you get a grip on his style it's just pure gems.

[@TrackFourtyFour]

hahahaha mike laughing after sims died fucking killed me

[@detroitshook]

Best friend magic. Notice how sad p.o.s looked when Dessa was suffocating in a freezer bag. I love this video and bandmates.

[@Mr88stalker88]

This tune is amazing. Makes you think why the hell are you even sitting your ass home while listening to it instead of go to gym and train some more.

[@TheGoku6000]

Andrzej ZzaMiedzy I train to this 🔥

[@crispzachary24]

WhiteLantern same this song got me listening to music while working out cuz I never really listened to music during

[@TheGoku6000]

Crisp Zachary Music is my lifeline when I hit the bag or run especially

[@x0xMAGZx0x]

Anyone else notice how Mike didn't eat anything and was super thirsty? I feel like I'm missing certain references in this video but I caught the Mike one and the POS hammer tie-in as well. Also just wanted to say that this version is good but the live version (especially the audiotree version) is twice as good.

[@tommiejohnson7577]

I saw yall today in Chicago yall lit 👌💯☺

[@33kingnaz]

This is the best video you guys have done so far!!! All hands is a great album! !!!

[@DANAMIONLINE]

Crazy concept. Dope video.

[@bberg82]

Attn Hip Hop: the bar has been set at a new level... please proceed accordingly

[@Inuhater]

Damn, did not expect this video to be as bad ass as it was.

[@jamessens8092]

@Doomtree Love you guys and this video is amazing. I also noticed P.O.S will be coming down to Mankato in March. I'd love to see everyone get down here again sometime. What has it been like 4 years?!?! That's way too long for how close it is. Show us some more MN love! Haha. Either way keep up the great work and keep representing MN to the fullest!

[@cos-mos23x34]

why have they still not blown up yet : ! for real I love alot of underground artists and alot of them got way bigger than doom real quick. what happend?

[@merrickcassian5044]

Doomtree has it's own niche. They've developed a very loyal fanbase rather than a very large one. And they're pretty big in Minnesota according to my ex.

[@cos-mos23x34]

Merrick Cassian that's fucking dope

[@trailblazersfan3048]

UFC 2 brought me hear

[@jjdabeast3654]

Same dude lmao

[@GrownUpKid94]

Likewise. Nothing wrong with that.

[@JordanB347]

Me too

[@crazyconspiratard6696]

Here*

[@dalestrom1]

aye, me too. badass song I made this song for my created character, not even realizing it had a line about "Johnny sweeping the leg", that's the character I made...lol

[@ayparillo]

One of the best videos ever for one of the best songs ever

[@thechetearly]

Probably my favorite DT video

[@GeminiEye1314]

I'm digging the new album but I really can't wait for some more solo stuff. Because of late everyone's solo shit has been that fire.

[@dragon53777]

GeminiEye1 I gotta agree. Cecil needs a new album.

[@chillerfy]

them lyrics tho... glad to see some groups break from the boring mold they call rap

[@amberlee4536]

chill Erfy why the fuck do lil wayne and nicki still even have careers when doomtree out here fucking killing it

[@deadpanduke19]

Amberlee R. Rite

[@darkmagician1710]

This is technically rap though aside from the beat

[@johnsamurphy]

Holy shit, that was awesome. Best video yet.

[@DragoKiller117]

best UFC 2 song

[@Willtur1]

Mike is coming into his own. I like this better than the first single.

[@derekrogers1668]

They snapped. Still bumping

[@Said-ep2zm]

progressiv People make progressiv Music Love from Germany

[@markleyden3021]

Song has some ironic meaning to it. This song gives off a doom tree feel that some of there songs don't provide. Great job .

[@LordJapos]

This is way more enjoyable than it should be

[@christopheralbright9650]

First time seeing this video...interesting story. Sometimes it feels like we outlive ourselves..."i get it like I've never phukn got it before". Thank you

[@thepugilist4379]

I'm here because I love music and am in part, a musician. Happened to luck out on Spotify. I've listened to a couple solo tracks, but fuck these artists are gelling nicely. Some of the most innovative hip hop artists since, ??? El P, Killer Mike, Aesop? Minnesota? Seattle? Fuck it. UFC 3. Peace.

[@Xlovesmaryse]

Weird friends dropping one by one. Great video guys

[@Dudebrochillman]

I love the hook on this song

[@thehardcore7758]

this looks like a mafia movie

[@patientzeropoint5271]

I can't wait to see this vid on MTV, oh wait... Great video though, "killed it".

[@Eulogy10]

What's the "Jake cuffing the hands" line reference? Is it training day?

[@Simfinate]

Wow. This video is SICK! Doomtree never fails at what they do! Represent wings & teeth!

[@winterarcelia7930]

LazerBeak And PaperTigers Beats Are Tight As Hell. Probably The Best Video, But My Favorite Song Is "Off In The Deep" Dessa's part In That Song Is Just Tight. Pre-Ordered Your Signed All Hands Photo With CD cx

[@FahdMahmood64]

2:18 🔥🔥🔥

[@BohemianScandalous]

A book on global warming brought me here. Strangely I wasn’t disappointed.

[@ichhabzuvielehobbys1276]

Which book?

[@ninjabreadman8166]

Which book?

[@elyad67]

EA UFC 2 is an amazing game! from the amazing soundtrack to the graphics/animation enhancements.

[@GaaraSama1983]

As I thought, if one wants you will always find good new music. It just gets harder cause old stuff is already "pre-filtered" by older generations.

[@keith_da_chief]

when I saw the cardigan I knew it was you Cecil!

[@willgraves5848]

Seriously, Doomtree one of the most under rated collectives of all time... Seriously, I know cryptocurrency technical analysts that have more subscribers than Doomtree...

[@citizenjim8727]

woow

[@eclectica1]

I'm relatively new to Doomtree's music. Listened to All Hands in full en route to work the other day and enjoyed it. Can someone please suggest the best album of theirs to listen to next?

[@Terr8765]

I'd recommend the album that is self titled "Doomtree". All Hands and that one are my favorite.

[@dragon53777]

Remind me never to have dinner with you guys lol

[@SecretCh0rd]

*Holy crap* guys. If I may? Sims opens at street level, stating the plight he mostly concentrates on. Innocuously sets the stage right up until the last line, where he announces his own fall, and shows the first card in the hand. He's at the bottom, the deuce, but his death broke suit. Dessa's talking people. She's double coding marvelously but it comes back to the people behind it. She's repping the low class that is trying hard not to be Sims at the table. Before I go on, I am *far* from saying anything against Dessa's class. If anything her willingness to play this role confirms the intellectual honesty thereof. Stef is kinda nouveaux riche in his role, and talking events. He's got a grasp. He's upwardly mobile. His character definitely sees it coming on a level yet unrevealed, but what can he do? This is the game played. Mike... man... I've rarely connected with you before. The guy at apparent top in this one, you're talking ideas, and man are you providing a backwards compatible key to my kind of thinker. Imma go back through your catalog. Your last line there is friggin' gold pressed latinum. To all those wondering why Cecil doesn't get a verse... well, the guy actually pulling strings isn't going to tell his story until those strings are cut. The implication is they haven't been yet. Cecil plays the collected conception of what I'll call the machiavellian patriarch. and his silence is eloquent if you listen closely. He's harvesting bloodlines and tilling the field anew. Kiss the chef indeed. Dude shoots the moon like it's a matter of course... because it is. Bravo, guys. Bravissimo.

[@alcapwnlol]

CanadianDaves I actually read that. I am commenting because Mikey is the shit and you should totally check out Snaxxx and Hella Frreal.

[@SecretCh0rd]

Right after this run of St Joe on the Schoolbus. Thanks bud.

[@Shoot2boot]

I think you are wrong on this one. I might be too, but this is my interpretation: The Final Boss is us, the audience. Each verse is a different way the audience handles the artist: Sims - the one who does not understand, and take music on face value, Dessa - ones that try to give it a collective meaning through social interaction, P.O.S. - ones that look for the thrill behind it and are intrigued by that, Mike - the hunger that can never be really filled and makes it a dog eat dog situation. It is also the first track on the album, practically making it an ode to us, the audience. We are the ones that are the judges, we are the unbeatable final boss of the music game. The music video represents this too - they surrender to the killer (Cecil, who is us - the final boss) and laugh at each others demise, because that is just how it goes. We set the table for them, we give them food (the actual food in the music video), and we feed on them, so the artist are our food. At the end the table is set anew to start this procedure all over again. Anyway, a great track.

[@SecretCh0rd]

Shoot2boot I don't quite grok your position but thinking about what you said and DC's Monarch plotline gave me another angle. "When I became a man I put away childish things". The lead up to the final boss always involves facing foes once vanquished, so the four who're talking could be the young selves of an Old King. Remembering how he felt as he rose through the ranks, and now in final wisdom, no words left. He knows it's all relative in the end.

[@dragon53777]

CanadianDaves Interesting take on this. I love that their music sparks such things as this. You should watch Beacon by them as well.

[@SLATEcaps]

[@WatchJoystickPlays]

UFC 2 also brought me here and the fact that my names Johnnie and best friends is Jake

[@Sigmundfruit]

Johnny was a reference to Karate Kid, and Jake is what the Wu Tang Clan sometimes called cops.

Such a good song

[@DanielMartinez-ih3hq]

What does jake cuffing the hands refer to??

[@KalishKovacs]

This is Rip, Love it.
