Warcloud aka Holocaust - Midnight in the garden of good

[@BadmanDNB]

As we come to a reflection on a full cycle of the start to end of hip hop as an artform. This guy has to be one of the best of all time.

[@achtundvierzigsieben]

listen to in in 2024 since ealy 2000 still trying to understand it.

top 3 emcees alive. free warcloud

[@Magneticitist]

he makes perfect sense actually

[@rondelllee8936]

I found this on Napster summer of 2001.

[@bagpulainvarata]

most of his songs are real stories or legends, he just puts stories into lyrics

[@NerdyHoodReviews]

This was the most abstract shit i heard years ago like in 2012 or so. As soon as you think you know what's he talkin about the next line comes in and you just like wtf.

[@uobilo]

calladuz said : lol several of those lines are directly from the poem "In Flanders Fields" by John McCrae. The poem is a Canadian national icon.

[@Sebbastar]

instead of trying to find one single meaning behind the words i tend to paint pictures in my mind,, one of the reasons i like this guy,, still fun to analyze his stuff though

[@SentientSound]

this song is mad old, but the beat is good. i can remember hearing this in 2002

[@Adularescence]

@blockow11 Thanks for putting me on to Wiseman, I love Bronze Nazareth's beats :) I've been following the wu and the bee's for about 12 years so I've come across a fair few of the affiliates, but still can't think of any one I would class a similar to warcloud. His style varies a LOT but no else seems to be even remotely as abstract or as obscure as him. I hear PCP might have something to do with it.. :p

[@juliusoziris2018]

Ill Masterpiece!🙌🙏🙌

[@HANZOREIZA]

warcloud can rap anything and make it sound like its only natural this is the type of word play im used to reading in a barker or edgar allan poe book ,

[@HANZOREIZA]

unbelievable madness

[@bobdigi88]

first track of his i've ever heard. So far so good.

[@rickygrimes4282]

Liz, this is for you. Classic MC. ;D

[@Dramacydal18]

Easily the best description of his style I could think of at this point. Soon as Alcatraz enters the picture shit gets fucked up.

[@Dramacydal18]

*9 years later* ...and the water turns to blood chew cotton candy with glee!

[@al-mahdi7035]

Dope

[@JayKaiSun]

Warcloud original style feeble minds can't take it! RAw

[@Magneticitist]

agreed but it also does make perfect sense. he gave a great description of America but by simply providing abstract visuals. one candy apple 2 white chocolates 3 blueberries. such an awesome metaphorical representation of what the American flag is or can be.

[@ladonzascurry7658]

When he said the torch be yours to hold it high..... He bit some poet I heard it on NPR he bit most of it word for word

[@ladonzascurry7658]

Yep it's called Flanders Fields by John Mccrae

[@ladonzascurry7658]

@Balls83387 ok no one know about that but u asshole

[@godofallgodswithnoothernam920]

@@ladonzascurry7658 you are being mean and violent aggressive man scary ... Police... Stop him... He talk to you like that police "no" what I thought selective wuss basically rude afar ... And selective. Aggresive male Be nice lime we family instead

[@SOUNDWISDOM1]

Heavy paragraphs, clear and truthfully engineered

[@michaelparker6240]

The greatest composed rap song of all time

[@TheEazyDuzIt95]

Amazing verse.

Two words: _Slept on_

[@TheWuCepticon81]

"tear open ya flesh like presents and thinner nightgowns"

[@XRAYZAKKONTATIK]

@TheWuCepticon81 I know for sure it is on the Heavy Mental album. I haven't heard that album in a minute, so I dont remember the name of the track. It's the one with the saxaphone in the beginning.

[@aysleezy]

This is the same joint he rocked mad axes too

[@wolfservant5]

this. was . GREAT

[@Adularescence]

@blockow11 I agree with that ! For me the swarm, along with the Wu chronicles are only second to the collective and then the individual albums. Although that said some of the individual efforts can be pretty weak (Some U-god, INS and the later ODB stuff). But to be fair 1/2 the time that's mainly because the production on the albums is not by Rza, hence = Wack. I'm going to see the Wu in London in a few weeks, gonna be ill :)

[@XRAYZAKKONTATIK]

They enhanced this track by EQ. I remember the original track it sounded like it was done on a cassette multi-track recorder and you can hear a Killah Priest song bleed through a lil bit.

[@rondelllee8936]

Yup you can here his science project song in it.

[@Dramacydal18]

I'm not sure who said this, but I think this is solid proof that Warcloud's lyrics have true meaning, it's just nearly impossible to decipher his messages with the 'naked ear' alone, so to speak. It's like studying some kind of ancient hieroglyph or something, I'd like to meet this guy just to ask what the meaning or inspiration (aside from drugs, of course) is behind his work.

[@StrykahTheSoldier]

DOPE!

[@respected84]

ok i realy like this song but can someone tell me what its about cuz i dont get it at all

[@beardgangtabernacle5795]

RIP warcloud 🤬🤬🤬🤬🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🕊🕊🕊

[@Arz2003]

can't no one fuck with Warcloud too fucken good

[@wolfservant5]

are all of those aka's his or the members of his group? if so how come so many aliases?

[@Newcomingmusic]

Well fuck, looks like I found a new rapper to listen to.

[@Mastas999]

i dont really like rap that much but underground rap is sweet i like it alot

[@TheWuCepticon81]

I love this track, but he calls himself Holocaust, and this was more during his off the wall Warcloud period. His delivery and rhymes are more like his Holocaust persona though so idk. Classic song either way.

[@Phearoe]

''silva ant n golden beattles crawling threw outmy paragraph'' he ses tha on mad axes rite at the beginning means this track was made first

[@asd848]

@mursinary187 yes, unfortunately..

[@nesdigital01]

..what album is this track on....??

[@Arabic126]

yeahhhhh boy!!! mah song!!!

[@budtoken]

Another AKA Mr. Arms and Legs

[@mursinary187]

@asd848 how did warcloud die?

[@Dennie4242]

@viprium Yea true took me a few times to understand his lyrics o.O

[@lilacea17]

it has the same beat has " mad axs"

[@WhispersOfWind]

@vegaworks7 I second that!

[@Dramacydal18]

Where can I see the interview.

[@Leaklips]

Same beat as Mad Axes

[@dukesizemore]

kingdom of lyrics

[@Adularescence]

@blockow11 holocaust era maybe, but warcloud abstract style? No. I would love to hear someone similar so let me know if you can suggest someone who raps like warcloud that I might have missed

[@7sins893]

Check out a UK rap group called rhyme asylum on you tube they are just like a English version of warcloud 👊👊

[@joelwidgins6329]

🗽💎🗽

[@TheWuCepticon81]

@XRAYZAKKONTATIK Oh wow, yeah i was wondering what the name of that other song was that i could hear in the bootleg version of this, so it was Killah Priest...thanks man.

[@godofallgodswithnoothernam920]

Killah priest is envious of warcloed coz of the silkworm track Seeing as priest official membership to Wu is rejected He ain't like the leader of Wu naming that track after warcloed ... K.P. was referring to himself in profits of man Being a snake wanting to take ODBs place Like one Leo passed away let me replace him. He has it in for warcloed And he really should get on a whole foods plant based diet like most of Wu has To help shift weight.. Heal ulcers to... The reason he even has ulcers still is coz he refused to take food grade hydrogen peroxide for a few weeks with water which which would take care of his issues for good. Yet he thinks yoga will heal him instead no wonder he hates warcloed he's just an idiot. If he went to a yoga class he'd just dart through out the sessions. I mean if your diet's killing your gastrointestinal tract Then you rectify you diet And supplement peroxide How else did the ulcers get inside you stomach ... Only a couple ways to get in there right. It's slow think and common sense.. Yet this guy thinks yoga makes sense, and carried on eating what kills him.... Join a yoga class to motivate you to change diet and supplement​with food grade hydrogen peroxide. One cap per one glass of water once a day. Three weeks get busy and when your heads clear you'll stop hating warcloed..... And if you really meditate through you'd know why your not in their creew coz bobby digi is a 🐓 rooster... He has a messiah complex and your lime light my time is more important than everyone else bs won't work so look over the videos you featured in and you'll get why. ODB was a dog Leo their unselfish kind and caring and unlike you not orientated to take the lime light from friends they listen to friends and help without​ being bossy... You can't replace him.... Your just not going to move past where you are or feature in movies. Now go get some fresh fruit frozen berries pressed juice and smoothie. When you finally go to the loo a few times Yoga or martial arts And meditation. Audio books instead of films Reading and watch all plant based eating documentaries on KZbin Lastly IV vitamin B6 1200mg Coz I know you haven't seen your penis in years and it's not getting up with out the B6 IV... Your repressing your thoughts so you can have some ego and pride but it's not more than fraud ego pride.... Go on and leave warcloed alone when you do it worry about what you can do. Coz right now yoga's a bit of a stretch

[@shirtlesscam2]

fuck yea what I think are who are we to sit here discussing who is better when non of us are on their level

[@psycholunatic213]

sick with it huh

[@HistorianHimself]

i disagree that it doesn't make sense. if you imagine the images they make sense visually... like they belong in the same scene together and harmonize with the mood of the beat.

[@freestyleroller12]

its about just talking u to a new world using his rhymes. most of his shit is. thats y he always says crazy, insane, impossible shit. listen to the chorus.

[@TRINIBOY411]

The best thing to do is to not listen to the song and print out the lyrics. Its easier to figure out that way.

[@BuddenOne]

I come from the dark city of LOS ANGELES

[@Subaru537]

Does anybody know what he is talking about? His lyrics is pretty wierd and doesnt make any sence, at one point he seems to be talking about war, than next butterflies? Pretty akward if you ask me? Like where the hell is he leading with this song??

[@eduedu393]

[@Ghostrider46286]

🖤💜🖤

[@AdamADavis1]

but not really... Dont think I'm putting dude down, the guy is BRILLIANT... I just wish that at least one or 2 lines at least had like a translation/interpretation... otherwise its just a song of nonsense... (thats sounds AWESOME!)

[@BOMBheadDOM]

An easier Holocaust song to interpret is What Can The Matter Be and it's a great beat too. Still pretty damn ambiguous but not quite as acid inducing..."A bat lives by hearing, the mother eats the moths and hats He captures in full flight, I pull a knife or a gun, you're watching a bullfight".

[@rarilbangya]

tunez ill

[@mursinary187]

warcloud is dead?

[@rondelllee8936]

Nope he just dropped and album this year with killah priest.

Yes unfortunately 😢

HA HA HA!!!! MY BROTHER SAT JUST NEXT TO ME AND SAID: " SOME OF THE SHIT HE SAYS IS DOPE. BUT SOME OF THE SHIT HE SAYS IS STUPID. " HA HA!!!!! I SAID U DONT EVEN KNOW HOW DEEP THIS GUY IS. HE WILL MAKE ANY MC FROM WU LOOK LIKE CHILDREN SITTING IN A CLASS ROOM WITH HIM BEING THE TEACHER ( NO DISS TO WU. ITS JUS MY OPINION ). I STILL HAVE A HARD TIME TRYING TO UNDERSTAND HALF OF SHIT HE SPITS. AND I HAD HEARD HE WAS MAD DEEP ALREADY BUT DIDNT TRY PAYING ATTENTION TILL NOW. ILL SHIT.

[@Produn]

@blockow11 Hey not to be an annoying promoter, but you should give my stuff a listen if you like Warcloud. His flow is way better during this period, but it's his unfathomable abstract lyricism from the Black Sky Blue Death that has greatly influenced me as a rapper.
