I was getting into hip hop at the same time I was first getting into weed. Being stoned and listening to this song was transcendental. What I wouldn't give to go back there... I'm grateful for this song because it takes me back there, even if only for a moment.

For those who are not familiar with the introduction: "we are the music makers and we are the dreamers of dreams". The lines come from "The Ode" a poem from Arthur O'Shaughnessy. The poem itself is driven by the hope of inspiration. Artists who build upon the future from their dreams and fantasy worlds. In other words don't let anyone tell you something doesn't exist if you wish it. If you can dream it you can achieve it. It's a life lesson more than anything.

I used to listen to this nearly every day during the bus ride to and from high school around 2008, watching cornfields and farmhouses pass by the window on long stretches of empty highway. Hearing it now sends me right back there. It's strange how certain songs become woven into the fabric of memories, so that hearing them again elicits such a strong sense of place and time. Hearing this now, I'm there, at the back of the school bus, sitting on that sticky vinyl seat, bouncing down a country road with the window down thinking about the school dance on Friday, a crush I have, my math homework or the video game I can't wait to play when I get home.

17 years later from the first time I heard this when I was 13, and I can't help but realize this song likely had a bigger impact on me than any other song ever has. A masterpiece, and nothing less, that introduced me to underground hip-hop. Here's to still vibing to this another 17 years down the road.

October 2020! Who's here..? Just like many of you this track has helped me get through some heavy shit and still does to this day! Use to go to a lot of Living legends shows, all kinds of shows growing up, then fast forward years later i got to meet and hang with some of the squad and that was because of my love for skateboarding and incorporating many of their tracks in some of my earlier vids. I unconditionally thank them. I'm here now because i'm going through a tough time as well still trying cope with the loss of my Mom.. She was my everything! Lord please help heal my heart. For anyone reading this as well. May every sunrise hold more promise and every sunset hold more peace. Much love!

"We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams, come along" [Hook: Slug] Nothing Less, nothing less [The Grouch] Well I bet you that I get the last laugh Bet you that my funerals packed And the tune you all blast is my crew's shit New shit or old it don't matter Bold I get swole in the zone where you gather I'm alone but together with the folks Not really knowing where I'm going But my goal's to provoke thoughts Devote lots, show some fools the ropes to hop Scope the top from above it Love it, then leave it alone I believe that I'm grown showing the way Owing the bay for going astray, now I'm blowing away Like that bag in American Beauty Truly blessed and nothing less [Murs] I'm nothing less than a criminal With minimal convictions Serving up my customers a hustler of the diction Crushing my afflictions, I'm sick in the mind Depends on how you ask And I can do anything depending on the task I tend to be on blast more often than not Between a rock and a hard place I soften my spot, talking a lot That's if my CD's get played But if that's not the case then I had nothing to say My crew been tight since we was up in the bay Been down for a while, now watch us As we take it, up and away Something to play when you're laying on back Felt the love when I wrote this So I know y'all feel what I'm saying on tracks [Hook] - repeat 3X [Slug] The first step was birth Now forever cursed to analyze his self-worth The second step was belief He had to make that move before he even grew teeth The third step, respect awareness He could trip over the next step if he's careless That next step, number four, was love Can't touch it without stepping the other three above As he froze for a moment Ignoring the remaining ones He was approaching, focus stolen Looking down at his hands to see what he was holding Nothing, empty No choice but to keep going The fifth step felt like a misstep It was a re-evaluation of the first four The anxiety, fear of what it hurts for Caught in somewhere between the earth's core And the first floor When he finally made it to step six He could no longer see it for what it is All of his views and family and life were askew Number six had been twisted by the previous two The last step, the seventh Was the only thing left that kept him outside of heaven One last breath and everything could be pleasant Life through death, man's final lesson [Hook] [Sunspot Jonz] Nothing less, god bless the days I rest In this mess called life Trying to be the best for the best dressed Female, but she just brings hell In the wishing well, I drown pieces of my soul Born to rebel I'm the black James Dean of the underground Yelling at shows Like rallys in Cali, I blow rhyme under the trees Wanabees talk shit all day But don't got a tape to play Nothing genuine to say So they bite the next man Like they gonna make him the best man In this crusade the future looks black Like Taye Diggs' forehead We can't go ahead and let the whack break our spirit [Hook] [Scarub] I know my expectations are high But I refuse to lay low No compromises only improvising From what I manifest in the mind Even though they say no I follow through if it's true You know those type of serious questions That are asked in a playful manner So if assumptions are wrong They can act like it's a joke? "What do you do for a living?" That's the words they spoke When they first heard that I wrote to stay alive While they work a 9 to 5 I work just as hard as you But got a different focus And while you focus on me I'm gonna be all that I am All of SIAM, while others run at the mouth With nothing to show I'mma use what I know, manipulating my flow From here to there I origami the situation from what is considered Unsuitable to something beautiful The outcome is legendary, and nothing less

This is one of the first underground rap albums I heard and awoke me to the amazing movement that was going on. I literally ditched the fantasy gangster shit on the spot and been listening to Atmosphere ever since. 2001 seems so far gone yet feels like yesterday in some regards. Here's to memories of transitional times, and the soundtrack that will make you never forget.

[Hook] Nothing Less, nothing less [Grouch] Well I bet you that I get the last laugh Bet you that my funerals packed And the tune you all blast is my crew's shit New shit or old it don't matter Bold I get swole in the zone where you gather I'm alone but together with the folks Not really knowing where I'm going But my goal's to provoke thoughts Devote lots, show some fools the ropes to hop Scope the top from above it Love it, then leave it alone I believe that I'm grown showing the way Owing the bay for going astray, now I'm blowing away Like that bag in American Beauty Truly blessed and nothing less [MURS] I'm nothing less than a criminal With minimal convictions Serving up my customers a hustler of the diction Crushing my afflictions, I'm sick in the mind Depends on how you ask And I can do anything depending on the task I tend to be on blast more often than not Between a rock and a hard place I soften my spot, talking a lot That's if my CD's get played But if that's not the case then I had nothing to say My crew been tight since we was up in the bay Been down for a while, now watch us As we take it, up and away Something to play when you're laying on back Felt the love when I wrote this So I know y'all feel what I'm saying on tracks [Hook] - repeat 3X [Slug] The first step was birth Now forever cursed to analyze his self-worth The second step was belief He had to make that move before he even grew teeth The third step, respect awareness He could trip over the next step if he's careless That next step, number four, was love Can't touch it without stepping the other three above As he froze for a moment Ignoring the remaining ones He was approaching, focus stolen Looking down at his hands to see what he was holding Nothing, empty No choice but to keep going The fifth step felt like a misstep It was a re-evaluation of the first four The anxiety, fear of what it hurts for Caught in somewhere between the earths core And the first floor When he finally made it to step six He could no longer see it for what it is All of his views and family and life were askew Number six had been twisted by the previous two The last step, the seventh Was the only thing left that kept him outside of heaven One last breath and everything could be pleasant Life through death, man's final lesson [Hook] [Sunspot Jonz] Nothing less, god bless the days I rest In this mess called life Trying to be the best for the best dressed Female, but she just brings hell In the wishing well, I drown pieces of my soul Born to rebel I'm the black James Dean of the underground Yelling at shows Like rallys in Cali, I blow rhyme under the trees Wanabees talk shit all day But don't got a tape to play Nothing genuine to say So they bite the next man Like they gonna make him the best man In this crusade the future looks black Like Taye Diggs' forehead We can't go ahead and let the whack break our spirit [Hook] [Scarub] I know my expectations are high But I refuse to lay low No compromises only improvising From what I manifest in the mind Even though they say no I follow through if it's true You know those type of serious questions That are asked in a playful manner So if assumptions are wrong They can act like it's a joke? "What do you do for a living?" That's the words they spoke When they first heard that I wrote to stay alive While they work a 9 to 5 I work just as hard as you But got a different focus And while you focus on me I'm gonna be all that I am All of SIAM, while others run at the mouth With nothing to show I'mma use what I know, manipulating my flow From here to there I origami the situation from what is considered Unsuitable to something beautiful The outcome is legendary, and nothing less

I envy all y'all talking bout nostalgia 😂 I'm just a 19 year old kid from the suburbs that has been blessed with streaming with Spotify and I stumbled on some gold like this, in 2020 lmao. Crazy how rap music today is getting dumbed down, kinda like Rock during the later 90s.

My kin folks out there feel this. I'm 43 the young O.G and today was heavy yet my neighbor the young God asked how I was and I spilled some game . first pain ... Then summarized with the fact that a moment shared with anyone is a blessed moment always. Then I kicked him down some top shelf dank right that smells up the arena ..cause he was in need .. All positivrcall good but I needed some snacks from the sto and he got everything on my list and then some and I was left feeling blessed up by the young God . I texted him " yo that's what a player would do thank YOU.. He then replied " ITS ALL LOVE BABY " so I texted back "WORD . THATS IT" NOTHING LESS" then my vintage brain brought me back in time to this so I bumped it ultra loud then sent the track to him like WHAT. peace to all

Slug really spits a deep and intricate verse here. A great song all around otherwise but his verse seems to really stand out holding the most meaning based around a central theme of the "steps"
