Takes balls man to put yourself out here like that! We appreciate it the vulnerability 👍

[@CliffBeatsOfficial]

It wasn’t easy. But I wanted to do this for everyone 🙏

[@deejayturtle]

@@CliffBeatsOfficial I forgot to say what Alex said in my comment so yeah totally agree with him on that.

[@deejayturtle]

Forgot to say this in my comment. Totally agree.

[@qwertyaspdfson]

[@mommajarritos9312]

I mean if your "throw aways" are this enjoyable, I can't imagine your actual work. Thanks for sharing!

[@onurkara1380]

Yo how are those throw aways?

[@SnailHatan]

@@onurkara1380 yo how do you not know what throwaways are?

[@marclawrence2457]

As a producer I don't know if I could sit there and let all my followers (if I had any) listen to my throw aways. Especially with my anxiety. So much respect for sharing bro. I always wanted to listen to your work. I'm impressed even though it's old random work

[@CliffBeatsOfficial]

It wasn’t easy. This was probably my toughest video to post.

[@marclawrence2457]

@@CliffBeatsOfficial totally understandable. I wanted to ask you a personal question but I'm not on social media. Is there another way to contact you?

[@CliffBeatsOfficial]

@@marclawrence2457 just my Instagram. I used to hop on the phone and everything but people hacked my phone and would prank me. So I had to change my number and get a new phone. Just Instagram my friend 🙏

[@marclawrence2457]

@@CliffBeatsOfficial no worries. I'm surprised you did the phone thing lol.. I feel like people playing on your phone is an inevitability. I have an old account. I'll see if I can log in

[@EvaMetalhankle]

Totally!

[@Brandon-mx3zx]

bro, you forgot to give yourself the trophy acceptance! 🏆 this was fun. to me, the real story, judging from some of your lyrics, is redemption. glad you made it passed all the shit you went thru in the past. good to see ya, brother. 👊

[@f.b.jeffers0n]

Dude, I'm 90% a romantic poet, and "I Tried" is a banger! Seriously put me in my feels...

[@walterbabcock6214]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@Sir_blanco1]

Same brothers, I felt that.

[@dakotahrobinson8209]

It takes massive balls to do this and I appreciate how honest and transparent you are. It’s the reason I subbed in the first place. Keep doing you man!

[@SykoNerd]

I love it!!! So rad for you to let us see & hear this. 🔥🔥 much luv ✌️🩶🫂

[@duccmanz]

This video is honestly so cool! There's always some reverence that surrounds one's past. Seeing where you came from and where you are now is inspiring! Thanks for opening up, have a great week

[@sandratjoa9082]

These are awesome, Cliff and I'm only half way through. Seeing your expression listening to these songs makes me kind of emotional. To me what makes a good song is when it's personal to the artist. Appreciate you showing your vulnerability with us. I hope you're proud of who you have become and accomplished. Much love.🙏❤

[@Stardust414]

I felt like he was replaying the events from that 2nd song which led him to create that music in the first. Glad I wasn’t the only one to pick up on that 😊 If you read this Cliff, I truly appreciate your openness and willingness to be vulnerable. It’s quite refreshing.

[@ruesylvester]

Your young self really gives me Eminem vibes. Not just because your voice/flow/cadences are similar, but like him, you were vulnerable and talked about personal stuff happening in your life. I'm sure you were influenced by his music, and I think that's a good thing.

[@1Daveyjonesman1]

Thought the same thing immediately

[@kyleburk1539]

Man "I tried" is hard af. I throw it up on my playlist g. I've been waiting for this day since your ealry days in the channel.

[@kaos621]

Petition to get I tried on Spotify or at least an audio file that was amazing 😍 We need it bro

[@jamescarey1959]

Cliff big props to you! Shit was fine you were young and just figuring stuff out! I really think you owe it to yourself to revisit this passion! Even if it’s just for you, you don’t have to release it to the public! You deserve to do YOU! All love brother!

[@sassyslsgrl]

Awww I think little cliff is talented ❤️...I can only imagine what you put out after learning and growing...I wish I could go back in time and hug young you, but digital hugs now 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@julesr5802]

Very brave, It’s hard putting yourself out there, especially when we see our “imperfections” so clearly. Nice job! These were impressive, especially with you being so young.

[@Big_Shacks]

That flow and voice on the track you went last on with your 2 boys! Fuck yeah bro 🙏👍

[@xzaviermartinez7825]

Dawg these are the throw aways 🔥🔥🤯 you can hear the passion my guy these are Gems 💪🏼💪🏼

[@CliffBeatsOfficial]

Thanks my friend. Yes these are throw aways that I couldn’t use as a kid 🙏

[@maxmoller]

This was fun. I freaking loved this. 😄 Let's be real here. You may cringe and say it's bad. But some of the shit they actually play on the radio sounds way worse.

[@unknownx7252]

Frfr

[@biggtimecda]

You actually really wasn't bad at all man. I appreciate that.

[@annewilliamson6261]

I think “we’re always our worst critic.” xx Loved it xx 💚🌴💚 Being an artist, a true artist requires such vulnerability and courage to reveal the most intimate details and hardships of your life. Maybe I have bad taste in music but sounded pretty awesome to me.

[@unknownx7252]

Sounded awesome to me also.

[@outterlimitsprod]

Yooo some of them Young Cliff bars were fire! The beats match the influence...what a great trip down memory lane 🔥🔥🔥

[@DahWiggy]

Yo I haven’t commented in a long time coz I tend to watch KZbin as part of my going to sleep routine, so don’t like to type… but Cliff, my guy, you under-hyped this video so damn much, I was expecting the first track to drop and me to start laughing but you had my head bouncing off the rip. This is a crazy cool video, love it, dope to see Cliff in his bag, much love to you man, always a fan Edit: I Tried was a really dope insight into your storytelling in song, for that to be a throwaway song as a time where you say you weren’t any good (even though you were getting signed👀😂) is really something.

[@julielarochelle]

I loved it. If these are the songs that were considered not good enough, that means the real stuff is fire! 🤩🔥

[@Infinite_C]

im late to this video but bro these are absolutely amazing, like what everyone in the comments are saying, i can only imagine what your current work sounds like, absolute beautiful delivery on everything

[@AutisticLed]

Vulnerability, in the gentle hands of those willing to embrace you, is a strength. Just listened to I Tried and loved it. The beat is nice and the way you stopped the beat to make the line about getting evicted hit harder? -chef's kiss- Listening to Out Of My Mind now as I type this.

[@caseyatwell2801]

I definitely appreciate this, I been writing 20 years or so, off and on. Love the openness

[@milanapl2373]

Look it takes a lot to present your ‘worst’ (to be fair I do not think it’s bad!) to public, appreciate you for letting us in ♥️

[@j.t.3798]

this one of your best videos. Not for the content, although it was dope, but the fact that you uploaded it, knowing its not your best work, and you're openness with your comments. @37:00 straight 🔥 🔥

[@DiggerPayne1881]

Thank you brother. Opening up ain't easy. Much respect and ❤. #armyofdarkness

[@neverfeartruth6460]

Absolutely love this video man, you're a fucking g for being so open. You're obviously a fairly transparent person with your past and with depression but this is another level and I have nothing but respect for you bro! Also I was fucking with the freestyles. Side note: even though I've been subbed for almost a year it's not till now I realised how dope your tattoos really are 🤣

[@mommajarritos9312]

Yoooooooo, I love the first song! I would bop to that in the car for sure!!!!!! So relatable. ♥

[@reubenlee6438]

Great video man. You're the only one doing what you do. Lil Mosey could still learn a few freestyle tips from a young amateur version of you 😄 It's really cool to see your beginnings and how you started everything in your career. This is really an interesting introspective reaction of your younger self. It's like a sociological experiment that's really entertaining. Keep up the great content.

[@kristentitus4946]

Man I’ve been waiting patiently waiting for you to be ready to give us the peak into your background. Your freestyle’s were better then the past five to ten years of freshman freestyles 😏 I’ll be subbed to you and get my notifications until you decide to move on, god willing no time soon… I’m waiting for any new shit you can show us from now until infinity and beyond !! 😂

Kid cliff was legit man and i love how open you were about this it shows the kind of dude you're man 💯

[@CliffBeatsOfficial]

Thanks brother. I always appreciate you showing love. This was a very hard video for me to post. I don’t think my label thought I would because it is literally some of the worst I have ever put together. But, I wanted to atleast show everyone that is starts somewhere and to not be afraid to put themselves in uncomfortable situations. Thank you for your kind words man. I have plenty of freestyles off the top where I slip up. I just didn’t have those recorded 😂. Have a good weekend boss 👊

[@Stuff_ChadReacts2]

Yo these are awesome bro just to hear you back in the day your voice sounds totally different to. Still the AOD family is loving this.

[@tonosama516]

This was great! 🔥 It gives us a glimpse of your journey, similar to watching HMack’s college videos. However, we still don’t know your artistry now. We get that you can’t release music. How about doing a one take on video as a throwaway, maybe taking a suggestion for a topic. You can use it to demonstrate how to construct verses and we can see your actual style. You can save your best bars for work and just write something that you probably wouldn’t use for anyone else. I’d love that and so would many others! ❤️ ✌️

[@f.b.jeffers0n]

Brings me way back dude! As for the caliber of bars, I remember my friends freestyling like this back in my post high school days, so shit is dirty (in the good way) to me!

[@TheRealAtomos]

Thank you for sharing and the message behind this, i know it's never easy to look back on what we did, I respect you so much for being authentic, passionate, positive in a clever way and a great help to many people, whether it's certain artists or the people who follow you on your social networks in many aspects... i learned a lot because of your channel as a french guy, music passionate, keep shining Cliff

I really enjoyed this. You sounded great at 17! Thank you for being so transparent and sharing a big piece of your musical abilities. You def are talented and it wasn't horrible at all!

I'm 62 now Cliff (hell yeah, it's two years now) so all I really know about breaking down rap I learned first at the feet of you and Knox and Teacher Eddie so grain of salt. You had a great cadence and clever wordplay in your delivery from the very first video. You lacked a little conviction on the murdering people 😜 but I still liked it. The second one is gorgeous. Loved the poetry. 🤯💖🔥⚡🎯 Not bothered much by the commercials even. Third was a revelation more than I would ever call it an exposé. Great recordings. 🔥💖⚡💖🔥 ...and I haven't got to the freestyles yet I guess (?)

[@Stardust414]

#1 THIS IS REALLY GOOD CLIFF!! You clearly had talent even at a young age. You said you didn’t have breath control down yet. At 17 the only thing I had down was a bad dance routine 😂 #2 That Cassidy, DMX get at me “dawg” reference was too relatable. Guess that was our version of bruh #3 I’m just thankful I didn’t have social media to monitor my every move 💯🤦🏼‍♀️

[@MAL-content]

This was a really great video, man :) And I know how awkward listening to your own stuff can be, but this was not at all garbage, and these throwaways really show that you have a bonafide talent as a rapper and producer too! I hope you can share your "best" stuff one day 🙏

[@nurselorie2271]

[@Linden531]

YES CLIFF!!!!!! I love these kinds of time capsule videos that capture the era without intentionally meaning to do so. It's these little unseen nuggets of human history that aren't mainstream or even seen outside of just you Cliff, that really are such special videos and thank you for sharing these and baring your soul. AOD community is here for you as you are for us and will continue to grow together. 313 fuck free world ;)
