Too dope. This is the essence of true Hip Hop,Slug one of the most underrated,yet one of the very best emcee's of all time.

[@Nicole-ww4lg]

He hits me right in the heart and reminds me why I'm a musician

Never underated only by 1 dimensional so called hip hopers not okay with growth. It is always about substance,no matter what music

From being homeless in 2010 and this song helping me thru to raising a family and owning a home in 2023. Thank you sluggo.

[@ichabodcrane916]

He a lyricist but his soul shine when he sing.

[@Yeroen]

What a song. He kills it in the chorus. Almost sounds like a recording.

[@lisakarson3279]

sounds beautiful Slug

[@anitamorehouse2769]

No matter how many times I watch this, it never fails to run a chill up my spine and bring a tear to my eye.

[@MemoryImprints]

55 people wish that they had even an ounce of the talent that Slug has.

Only 55.?.

[@monte093]

The anthem of my youth…this song keeps me going…

One of the best storytellers in all of music.

[@JamaicanLambsWool]

Showed my dad lots of atmosphere last night, this and little man are the ones that reeally moved him. Thanks for all the great songs slug

This guys is a legend. That will last forever. You changed my entire life sluggo

Hopefully one day. It's never too late.

Whoever was here for this performance is truly blessed. Thankful for this footage 🙏🏾💚

[@ryder2shae]

2021 anyone? Just watched the new one from RA and slug. Man, another heavily underrated super talented one.

[@Mikey-br8xw]

Most underrated artist of my lifetime . Thanks for the stories Sean. R.i.p. eydea and alias

[@TheCherrykye]

Love you all ❤️

[@whatsgrowingon]

This song still makes me tear up after listening to it over a decade because both my parents were the girl in the first verse while I was the kid in the second. But listening to hip hop and rock kept me sane. N kept it pushing. Love y'all.shout outs from Dallas. Treat everyone with respect because you don't know what people might be going through.

[@satonbish9379]

Exactly! I try to describe how I feel about Slug and his music and I feel wrong using "Idol," and "Hero", because he's like a good friend, the kind you can not talk to in 8 years and still know they're going to understand all your faults, and know your problems. This dude saved my life, I just wanna shake his hand, fuck an autograph.

[@KickinDopeSHlT]

Its amazing how he just tells a story and allows you to be taken away, Notice he's the only hip-hop artist who can actually and properly carry a note while singing. That right there shows how talented he is.

[@josephrostkowski8631]

It is rare to grow up and listen to a group while growing up ,they still stay relevant to what you got going on!

[@josephrostkowski8631]

Ps hip hop head or not you have to respect the artistry! Big ups ant you are never slugs shadow but his muse! ( my bad I just feel ant doesn’t get enough high fives, only my opinion)

[@josephrostkowski8631]

FYI thank you slug for grabbing the mic and leaving the ones and two’s to ant! Jordan pippen, Malone, Stockton, Payton , kemp, Ewing,Starks , etc .. neither wouldn’t be the same with out each other!!!! Holy shit been listening since garnet got drafted to the wolves dam I’m old😂

[@brandiemcgough6832]

I could not be more proud of this man and what he’s become ❤️

[@davidfraley3297]

One of the best by far very talented

[@4fAnro]

My thoughts

[@MrLuke847]

I was bartendingbat a hotel in Denver slug was the coolest most down to earth person. Tips 10$ a drink and gives free tickets. Super great and talented guy

[@alexgonzalez8954]

Song is forever relevant. Even more now..

[@Sophocles13]

Slug, you're music has shaped me more than you'd ever know. Thank you so much for existing. I was introduced to you about sophomore year of high school by my girlfriends best friend, and I'm so grateful of her for it that I still talk to her regularly :)

[@macdrc12]

Not gunna lie atmosphere helped save my life I was so close to the edge loosing the woman I love barely seeing my son I was at my edge but atmosphere helped I just wanna say thank you for giving me that shoulder that nudge to help get back up

the acoustic version of this song needs to be released its so bittersweet

[@cameronm5597]

Still one of the best acoustic covers ever

[@TaT420X]

Slug is very talented

[@Jsalcedo23]

for all of you who know people that claim hip hop is ignorant and unintelligent show them this video.

[@clydefrog8711]

+Jsalcedo23 for all of those that claim hip hop is ignorant and unintelligent, they are closed-minded and ignorant themselves. I personally think the problem is the stigma associated with the word. We need a new one, for stuff like this, because when I say "rap" or "hip hop" i always have to explain the difference from what most people think, and what this kind of music is.

[@hohosr]

+CLYDE FROG Most people I am around hear the word and instantly disregard. I tell people he is more like poetry.

[@It_is_Tyler]

Word. I was one of those people years ago until I was introduced to Atmosphere

[@meanmeangf6415]

Jsalcedo23 it is nowadays

[@jasonsmits2147]

Sean doesn't just transmit the emotions of an experience like so much great music does, he immerses you in it to the point it feels like you're actually there. It's amazing storytelling.

[@theroof327]

the feels are deep

[@FootballSideofThings]

Remember the day my cousin showed me Sunshine, Yesterday and The best day ever then this. One of the truest and real MC's and can relate. Wish there were interviews of him, i respect everything he does 🙏🙏

Probably one of the best songs...

[@javierbeltran7310]

It’s 2023 and this song still hits home. The older I get, the more numb I feel towards anything. But when I hear this song I feel things I haven’t felt in a long time. Mind me, I’m a little drunk. But this song brought a tear or two to my eyes. Thank you, brother.

[@joshdunne6663]

I got chills when the chorus hit. Slug is the best.

This guy. Deserves the money he makes.

[@marcelcoppes]

Amen

[@Jacobmelrose26]

He doesn't do it for the money otherwise his music would be garbage forced upon him by a greedy record label. Thats why he started his own record label.

[@STANLEY2BRICKS]

@@Jacobmelrose26 the guy was just commenting that slugs work is of a high enough caliber to certainly justify every dollar he earns from it and he's absolutely correct.

[@limaalphacharlie]

@@STANLEY2BRICKS i applaud you, and I forgot I was already here. This is a banger.

[@margoulin81]

best rapper to ever lived in my opinion, I'm french and i've been hearing rap for ever, slu got s the deepest flow and the most powerful rhymes. Much love!!!

Been awhile since I heard this. Timeless.

[@ProudToBeKraut_Varus]

first unplugged, got slugged. boy. you safed more than my life.

This was an amazing era of Slugs career, as someone who jumped on board the Atmosphere train in 2002 it felt like a twist in style that hit the spot at the time.

[@leway13]

[@deewhyelayin]

this song came up in my playlist, and i had to stop what i was doing to listen. been an atmosphere fan, but this i havent heard, most of these i havent heard, but this stands out.

[@danieltapiaramirez1173]

[Verse 1] Caught the bus at 5:06 That's in the AM for all you little trust fund kids And it's a forty-five minute trip If she ain't in by six, she'll catch another pink slip And that's three and that means fired The coffee thermos in the purse to help her keep wired The day-care where she drops the baby off Thank god it's on the same block as the bus stop By 5:30, she's halfway there And her back already hurts from the bus' plastic chair Live to work to live to work to live Gotta feed the kid and give it all she's got to give Plus she tryna catch a little overtime If she stays till four she could be home by five Shuts her eyes for the rest of the route And keeps her headphones loud to drown everything out But the same old song... [Hook] "Whoa... whoa, not another day!" Not another day of the same old song "Whoa... whoa, not another day!" Not another day of the same old song [Verse 2] Seemed like nobody even knew his name, huh If he disappeared would they even see the blank spot? The only kids who might notice are the ones who Push him up and down the hallways and in the lunchrooms Sometimes he looks at his bruises and wants to come to school with A gun like them kids on the news did But nah man they don't deserve to die He's the type that couldn't even murder a fly I guess you get used to the life Maybe that's why he refuses to cry Takes it on the chin, takes it in stride What doesn't break you just makes you stronger right? So he sits by himself on the school bus Hoping that today he wouldn't have to put his dupes up But just like any other, here they come To fuck with his comfort, can't wait for summer It's the same old song... [Hook] [Verse 3] C'mon, woke up at the taste of dawn When the city's bloodline starts to push it along The generators on those public buses Is enough to bust you out of any dream that you stuck in I guess that's the chance you taking When you camp out in front of that transfer station And this town got no answers to chase That's why he always sleeps near the transportation Panhandle it, transient freedom Transplant, he ain't from this region And when the wind starts to whisper its lips He knows enough to pack it up and dip out before the winter hits Childhood dreams washed down the gutter Both parents gone, no sisters, no brothers Weak memories, strong paranoia While the same song repeats in his head Over and over and over and over it goes...

[@Mdpjs]

"Hoping that today he wouldn't put his dukes up"

[@_Wander.]

Such a talented artist keep up the good shit slug.

[@ashleyoctopus123]

if a song could change a person... mad love for slug

[@ToaOfTech]

That is a lot you have been through. I can't even imagine having to go through all of that. Just wow. Thanks. I will take your advice to heart. :)

[@juanismydad]

One of the best songs ever period slug one of the best rappers ever period

[@ihavenovids]

More touching to me than the way you can watch in his eyes how he's watching and living the words as they come out.. and he feels it.. More than the words or the look or the sound.. Is in the very end.. This is, for all intents and purposes, a pretty famous guy.. with a mind that makes most of the world seem barbaric.. and the humility of that simple "Thank you"... Says everything about the man on the stage. Just grateful they listened. Just happy to not have to live it alone, and express. Damn

[@its.8121]

Rap at its upmost artistic form. Through one of raps greatest underground catalyst, Slug.

[@pamallinder3287]

My daughter loved sooo much. 1985 2012

[@mickyds65]

I found this song the other day, and I have to say the lyrics hit me like a slap in the face. I can't personally relate to any of the struggles he refers to, but I think everyone can relate to the theme he emphasizes on. I don't know man, Slug keeps it real, and I respect that

[@pamallinder3287]

Thank you to be with us

[@PensillShavings]

some of the best song writing ever period

[@hunthart09]

It really does make you stronger, and drives you to excel. I'm 20, and my parents owe me money... Middle School and High school were rough on me. But it helped teach me to keep on working, and continue to achieve my goals...
