In August this year I saw him perform in Dublin to a room with no more than 60 people. I can honestly say that I have never seen someone put on a show which was so full of honesty, passion & pure love of the music and performing live. Truly an awesome force & this guy clearly believes in every word he says! Pure brilliance!
Ben Caughers thanks man
I first saw P.O.S. (some of the Doomtree crew was there, as well) in a similar context. To be honest, Hand Made Hand Gun, and then Four Fists where what first turned me on to you-- been delighting in you ever since.
Most of my friends are always down to hear anything new (read: awesome, but not on the radio) that I recommend. I find it pretty easy to decipher one's tastes (or lack thereof) based on how they respond to Stef, Dessa, Sims, the rest of the Doomtree crew, and the entirely of the "we are an awesome modernization of rap/hip-hop" cohort, very much including you. I wish you got more radio play. You deserve it. Stay awesome.
Exactly the same thing here - just saw him last night in Brisbane Australia to a room of about 40 and he has more passion and fun on-stage than almost every other big act I've seen. Met him afterwards, and you can feel he's genuine, I tell everyone who'll listen they need to try his music - he needs to be selling out stadiums like Kendrick, Macklemore or Kanye.
Saw him like a dunno... 10? years ago in Aachen! Still like his attitude and his songs :)
He's one of those artists that you never wanna miss when he rolls through your area.
Still listening thanks for showing me Dave, if your out there
In 2011 Fake Four started to follow me on Twitter, I'm from Brazil, had no idea at that time of what Fake Four was. I went to take a look on their site and the first thing I saw was the music video for Contrails. Till this day I'm still grateful for this episode.
that is awesome! i hope i can make it brazil someday
Astronautalis Yo That would be beyond awesome.
Another brazilian fan here, hope you make it!
I used to listen to Tegan and Sara a whole lot, followed youtube to Contrails and now I love your discography from beginning to end. Favorite artist from that point on.
How is this man not absolutely famous af?? No joke. Spits real sht and keeps it looking relatable to most people. Dang.
He is a huge rapist and abuser
My sister and I saw you a couple times in Seattle. Still my favorite show ever. You and I joked about How I Met Your Mother while you were asking for things to rap about. I'm stationed in Naples, Italy now... My K9 and my coworkers are all big fans now. Keep doing big things!
It really nice to see a rapper who appreciates other sorts of music and musicians, there's a lot of antirap nirvana fans who disliked this and personally right, I don't particularly like rap as my taste in music, however I respect it, and it's just really nice seeing someone who makes rap music dedicating a song to a legend
This guys a punk first, rapper second by his own admission. Hence why he's on a punk label. But I agree with everything you said.
I'm pretty sure he's mocking Cobain in this song, lol.
Every time i see a ridiculous headline starring "Florida Man" i imagine its astronautalis
I always picture the world's shittiest superhero. Astronautalis is a huge improvement.
*Andy B.liked this*
That's my boys!! Luv youse
Love the use of Pendulums song, Midnight Runner as the background audio. The rap is fire too.
Dope. Just.. dope
loving your stuff! I've been a fan since trouble hunter days! sounds changed a bit but still loving your work. Gonna see you in Portland this week!
I was looking up nirvana and found this I normally don't like rap but I like this a lot
All his stuff is like this!
so underrated so mad i just found out about Astronautalis big fan here
I just cut a tooth as well!!
Everything about this is dope. Your best yet.
Wooo! Nice video! Great song! Amazing album!
I agree!!
I remember you performing this is London, I didn't realise how strongly I felt about the issues you raise in the song until me and my mate were singing along at the top of our voices and jumping like idiots! Awesome song and awesome video!
What London show? I missed this years one but last year was dope. Can't recall if he performed this one or Sike..
Im only here because of Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia". They have his posters in the background of some of their scenes!
Woah am I about to start watching ASIP finally?!?
@@sagebrushrepair I'm sorry that only now you might have started watching IASIP, there's so much good shit in that show. If I remember right, there's definitely a poster of This Is Our Science in the background of a couple of shots in the earlier seasons. It's so good.
I’m late to the party but I didn’t have my first child til I was forty so PUT UP YO HANDS!!! Respect to you and your crew man. Just got onto that Four Fists record too. Keep doing your thing!
This is the first rap song I've legitimately liked. Keep up the good work man.
Simon Luna dope
I just found this man through my favourite rapper Eyedea, amazing I'm so fucking happy right now 😱
RIP Oliver Hart...
@@bornyesterday3627 long live the KING. R.I.P. brother

Jackksinvillianz! Luv yo dude!$!
Flowrida homie grooWn. Musek
Garrett Ford hey hey
Much love from Austin, Andy. It's always cool to see you out here.
I really dig this. You got a new fan in me man
Keith Bedelyon welcome to the gang
Damn this song is amazing!
I haven't stopped playing it for 3 maybe 4 hours straight!!
Damn, I heard this song and loved it, then watched the video and realized bout half of it is filmed where I'm at in the keys. I need that jacket lol
such a banger
Great Jam!
i listen to your songs every day
Whoop whoop!
Keep up the work man. Great stuff! Four Fists album when though?!
Can't wait to see you in October!
Yo man I saw this shit live, and it was one of the best ever shows. you rocked the house Astronautalis in New Mexico Halloween of 2016 and I shall remember that forever
Amazing! Don't make us wait 5 years for the next album!
Jordan Young i won't. Ever again
@@astronautalis well...that didn't work out
This is what rap should of been, is, and hopefully will be.
Astro, it's Spoonfull from way back. This is incredible stuff. Really guy, fantastic job with this one.
JBV UMW thanks!
JBV UMW yohhhh spoon! You still writing rhymes man? Long time fan... Still waiting. Haha.
Love the midnight runner sample haha.
Dope as usual
fave song💪
Right!
My son favorite ❤️
Why is this more Hip Hop, then every Rap Blabla this days?
That's rhetorical!
I love this mix of punk and rap
since I listen to that too
Punk? Don't hear wtf you're talking about. Why is it a mix of "punk," cuz dude is white and the song's called "Kurt Cobain"? That's like someone saying that Bad Brains was a mix of hip hop and punk because they're black and wore dreds. This is straight rap/hip hop.
try listening to Noize MC, particularly album Hard Reboot, on which Astronautalis is featured. Or Protivo Gunz
There is also 'Царь Горы' and 'Последний Альбом' and 'Новый Альбом'
Like those Keys shots, looking forward to seeing you in Orlando next month.
Cutie Patootie it shall be 🔥
Shout out from the 904, get it man, keep reppin FL
See you in Phoenix! Love the new album
Man, I can't wait for the 12/17 show in MSP. Just so long as my wife doesn't go into labor before hand!
This song has one of the best lines I have ever heard!
Glo Carey which line?
Glo Carey yeah...which line?
fuck them and fuck this im off to live my own life. haha i know its simple but i relate sooo much.
im so excited for houston. please no hurricanes but if there is please perform in the parking lot somewhere and let me know because i will be there. hahaha. i loved that one outside of waffle house
Lucrative business. Lipstick on pig shit?!!!! Idk? That's in the top spot!
Fresh
If you haven't seen this guy live yet your missing out! don't pass up an opportunity to see him
most interesting man in the world right cherrrre
Verse 1: Astronautalis]
Well all the cool kids in the North
Wishin' they were Southern
So they wear boots
And drink whiskey just like Waylon
All the cool kids in the Heart of Dixie
Try to shake they accent, heh
Before they move to Portland
All the thugs dress like punks
With studded leather belts
Denim vests, and they start skateboarding, na na na
While all the punks dress like thugs
With New Era fitted caps
Snapbacks, white ones, and some clean Air Jordans
Kurt Cobain can smash all the guitars he like
'Cause he was rich as fuck
Just like John Lennon
And these days no one ever drowns in quicksand
Or dies from the plague, yup
The Golden Age is boring
I swore I heard, Andre 3K, say one day, ay
That rap was a young man's game (game, game)
I never thought I'd be pushing fucking thirty-three, see?
Still making a living off the things that I say
[Pre-Chorus 1: Astronautalis]
But, hey, Rap is dead, Punk is dead
We all seen that t-shirt
When the drugs kick in and it thumps like this
Dancing 'til our feet hurt
Some old man is swearing
"Vote for me, it ain't gon' be worse!"
But I hate to burst your bubble baby
It's gon' be worse!
So me first, leave first
Katrina breaks them damn dikes
What would you do
For some freedom and a Klondike?
I'll screw with you
When our bosses all just decide
Life would be better for them
If they laid you off and just said goodnight
Gun pulled on me by a cop one time
Four guns pulled on me in Atlanta last night
What struck me as funny is that both damn times
The conversation started with the exact same line
[Hook: Astronautalis]
Put up your hands!
C'mon and put up your hands!
Put up your hands!
C'mon and put up your hands!
Put up your hands!
C'mon and put up your hands!
Put up your hands!
C'mon and put up your hands!
[Verse 2: Astronautalis]
I'm from the state of the 20G rim
Sitting up under five hundred dollar lemon
Pushing this whip, best be bringing your friends
Because you'll be pushing this whip
When it breaks down again
I'm from the nation of that war on drugs
40 billion a year, can't ball like us
They, bring in the coca, and we bring in the guns
Just, kill a few soldiers push the coke price up
It's all, lucrative business, lipstick-on-a-pig shit
Yeah, the coupe is horrendous
But the rims are stupendous
Go ahead and just tell me
You know how you can end this
Middle-of-the-mall ball
'til you fall with a fake-ass pendent
While you, waiting in line to cop an iPhone 5
So you can post some pictures of places
You've been in your life
Go on and bump this on your Beats By Dre at work
Staring at the sky
My homies said, "Fuck a business loan!"
They stole copper pipes
[Pre-Chorus 2: Astronautalis]
Rap is dead, Punk is dead, we all seen that t-shirt
Drugs kick in and it thumps like this
Dancing 'til our feet hurt
Some old man is swearing
"Vote for me! It ain't gon' be worse!"
But I hate to burst your bubble, baby
It's gon' be worse!
So fuck them and fuck this!
I'm off to live my own life
What would you do for some freedom and a Klondike?
I'm fucking through, so from now on I am on my
All news is bad news, everything is alright
[Hook: Astronautalis]
Put up your hands!
C'mon and put up your hands!
Put up your hands!
C'mon and put up your hands!
Put up your hands!
C'mon and put up your hands!
Put up your hands!
C'mon and put up your hands!
Your hands!
Damn!

+1 UPVOTES
Legend
💗💗💗 🔥
Why haven’t I heard this sooner? Why isn’t this man winning billboard awards and Grammies cause he fucking should have!
Because he remained underground and now he has completely disappeared. He turned out to be a bad individual so now he keeps to himself.
Veri cool music
ugh so damn good Andy
I was looking up kurt cobain song do re mi and found this I don't like mumble rap or rap in general but I like this cause i like rock and eltronic music
This pleases me
Jonathan Knewel huzzah!
When are you coming to sfbay? Can't fly down to see my mama in Florida 🌴 people here need to hear 🎶 u live 😘
Caught this on spotify today. Fucking hooked.
Good track!
i like this song
2:04 looks like the apartment from the Rum Diary movie
Bumping this on my knock-off beats by drew at work lol
Shit is CRAZY!
Fuck I want that jumper
2024 😩🙌🏻
You are so cool assistant
Another nice track from Astro.
But i wonder, why there is no sike! remix by bird peterson on youtube?
Has anyone found that sweet Florida flag jacket/cape online yet?
I was thinking that same shit!! Let me know if you find it
Oh Shit Son!
Just heard a Sweet ass song! 3x
fuck i'm slackin, so late on this shit.
so glad you're not slippin!
I want him to do another song with transit!
Am i the only one where the cart for the sideonedummy.com store isn't working?
Want the colored vinyl so bad! Guess no other store got those?
this shit slaps, rap game 90s heroin
Is-is that a good thing or a bad thing?
Brootality Dawg yes!
The only thing that could have made this video any better would have been an appearance from JJ Grey......Astronautalis and a JJ Grey collab would be incredibly ill.
Love this. Love you. Hope u r werll. Luv abbie norml
2023 🔥🫶🏻
Wondersmith brought me here
West Coast tour dates?
FROOOOOST
oh my god when did astro sign to sideonedummy
Basie Settle in the spring!
Why so many dislikes?
bitchy anti-rap Nirvana fans?
Sigmund Fruit that must be it.
Some of us liked Andy much better when he wasn't trying to sound like every other generic rapper out there.
Patrick Hewitt I honestly don't think I've heard anything that sounds quite like this but okay
Jacob Peets because it is terrible and tacky
Please make a good music vid for 1515 washington
Generally not a fan of white rappers, but this is sick
BUDGILES79 glad to be the exception
Thats crazy talk!! But I'm glad you can see truth
why do rappers always talk about kurt? like he was a very taleted musician i own all the nirvana/kurt cobain shit i can get a hold of. but may i ask you why?
Honestly I think the question is more 'why not?'
Astro clarified at one point, I think, that Kurt in this song was a representation of power structures and the people that surrender to them or something like that. I think it really boils down to that line, "Kurt Cobain could break as many guitars as he wanted 'cuz he was rich as fuck" -- i.e. rich people do whatever they want while we work our asses off to maintain _their_ way of life. That's my interpretation, at least.
cause hes edgy xdeee
Notsuchabadguy ... who gaf? It's hot, that's all that matters. Psuedo intellectual motherfuckers, can't stand ya'll tacky bitches.
Lucrative business, lipstick on pig shit. Yeah the, coup is horrendous but the rims are stupendous... PUT UP YOUR HANDS! Budumpbaa Budumpbaa Braa
Where's the views?
He looks so SWEDISH!
140 Tupac fans
I wonder how famous he would be if his name started with LiL ? Lol ;p ahah
I would never have heard of him if did!
Dude...
Rickety Cricket??
I don't really like this song, or most of the new album. This is his first album that I really disliked. The visuals were nicely done, though.
djevel tilbeder what about it, did you not like?
Keep Kurt Cobains name out of your mouth, he does not deserve this disrespect..
I’m sorry, but this dude is just 🌽
i see that. better than MGK anyday tho lol
no no
Sarah de Waal yes yes
Ive been watching this dude since that Battle of Trenton song he made, but this one is a little silly. His rhymes are dope but the dubstep shit is weird and like 5 years too late?
I guess he is a one man band, last i checked, and it sounds like he still is just from his music, it sounds like mostly solo samples.
next song this one is lame
What!? You clearly listen to garbage...
Wtf is this song?
