Samsa - The Lyrical Genius

[@AmbitionMusic]

Thank you Samsa

[@Sgogeta80]

this is amazing. Could you do this for other lofi rappers as well? D-real or love sadkid possibly?

[@宇宙飛行士]

Sgogeta80 that would be great man

[@Sgogeta80]

i've been so in to lofi lately and those are some of my favorite artists. I didn't know samsa was retiring until I read the description. The first song I heard from him was "I know how it ends" and was hooked from there. D-real I heard "Coast feels" and love sadkid milf maybe? But im in love with "2step". Anyways, id just love a greatest hit for any lofi rapper as well honestly

[@oscarmedina7368]

You know what's crazy? In college my friends would vent to me a lot about things going on in school, like auditions (I was a music major), classes, and outside/homelife. Every time something like that would go on we'd be in my car listening to a playlist of Samsa talking about it for hours, and everyone of my friends have that same playlist now. They all told me they have this one different song they loved (like one would say Haunt Me and another would say Butterflies.) Glad to know that both my advice and Samsa's tracks helped them all out so much throughout college.

[@marcoatienza8884]

I discovered Samsa when I was searching for videos about "Anthropocene". After playing a Crash Course vid, I tried watching his Anthropocene ft. atlas and was amused by the lyrical brilliance and absolute madness of the composition. Needless to say, I procastinated a decent amount of time (binge-watched all of his vids with countless amount of replays) and almost forgot to study for a test next day. Was an avid fan ever since.

[@stefanochiodi8800]

I found him the same way

Today, on my way to uni, listened to "Siesta" for the first time, and holy fuck, it's now my favorite song of his, finally decided to find out more about him and just found out that he retired...

[@molorbuuch4218]

These lyrics are so smart but he’s so humble in reciting them. This is amazing.

[@morphhelm8613]

Just discovered this kind of music a few months ago while I was on a date with a girl that didn't work out in the end. Normally I don't listen to this kind of stuff, I have been a classic rock and country boy my whole life. But his music completely blew me away, and I have been obsessed with him since that day a couple months ago when I listened to him solely because she wanted me too. Thank you Samsa, sucks that you are no longer producing new music, but glad you got out when you felt it was right instead of milking it to the last drop like alot of other artists. You have my respect man.

[@jacobgorton2569]

Samsa, you will probably never see this but I have to say that your music never ceases to make me laugh and cry. Your work has meant a lot to me through the best and toughest times of my life and I just wanted to thank you. Your flow is incredible and I love the sci-fi concepts that you rap about and I think all of your songs are lyrically impressive. Not to mention the emotions you are able to express through your vocals on songs like Komodo or solo. I hope that whatever you are doing these days brings you fulfillment and happiness.

[@theunkownviolinist]

Cuttlefish always gets me. It released around the time my last ex dumped me. A lot happened during that time and a lot of it was pretty shitty, and that song always brings back those emotions of betrayal, abandonment, and loneliness. It was also the same year Samsa quit rapping. A lot has happened since then, but that shitty time in my life was probably the best adventure I've been on and I couldn't have had a better soundtrack to it than Samsa's music.
