I just saw this guy chilling and reading a book when I was going to the subway today. I said hi and that I loved his work, and he was really nice. I really hope he keeps up the amazing flows.
@AndyEigenman Me too! I have been using that program at AmazingAbs.info for 3weeks now and Im thrilled with the results. Cant wait to see what results I can get in the next month as I am going on holidays and will be in a bathing suit a lot and I already know I will feel a lot better than I have in years..:))
Abdominal is brilliant. Truly brilliant. Wordsmith. Intelligent raps. Deserves the title 'rapper', if anyone does. Spread the word - turn this up loud in ya car!!! (Also, check out DJ Format!)
Best rapper to have graced planet earth in my opinion. Just fantastically eargasmic. Even his new stuff with the obliques is brilliant. Clearly someone who enjoys music. Ratjer than the music business. Nicely done Sanctury. Nicely done format. Nicely done Abdominal.
Seriously with these comments??? This man's ace! Any hip hopper worth their salt dig abdominal - his work with DJ Format alone speaks volumes of aceness. He may not have big commercial success, but he's well loved and respected in the hip hop fraternity! I for one take my hat off to him! In the words of another non-commercially 'successful' Hip hopper, 'Awesome Dude'
Niteo99, although I appreciate you coming to my defense here, I believe you may have actually misinterpreted scotia902's comment. See, music IS my day job, which of course can only mean scotia's comment was, in fact, intended to be encouraging in nature :) Thanks to both of you for the support, Abs.
Not sure about a tour anytime soon, but my little sis' recently married a Kiwi & is living out there, so I'll prob. be out to visit soon. Maybe I'll be able to squeeze in a show when I'm out there. Anyways, thanks for the interest, Abs.
Yup, she's off the market bud. I've actually played a bunch of shows out in Holland already...where were you?! Anyways, hopefully I'll be back out there once my next album drops. See you then, A.
Job WAS done in right here in TO man! At a studio called 3AM Design (who did a lot of the animation work on the "Hit Song" video also actually). Thanks for the props below. Peace, A.
I asked youtube to feature this if they could. It's great. Could the person that made this vid tell me how they get the circled edge feather around the screen? thanks.
Think we're both playing a show here in Toronto on July 5th. It's at Dundas Square (Yonge & Dundas), & it's free...come check it out if you're in town.
I agree to an extent when it comes to this song. Im good, is another. But I for one LIKE the fact these 2 songs are about how amazing he is. Its witty and light hearted and he can get away with it. despite this he has numerous other songs (ugly brothers and 3 feet deep to name just 2) which are unrelated to the topic of how good he is.. And they (for me) blow the likes of Jay Z away I also know of some UK rappers that question existance and the psychology of music in their songs. Now THATS deep!
@RobinLikesCake Compare this song to say Empire State of Mind by Jay Z. I like this one a lot better but you have to admit that content-wise this song is not going to appeal to many people. Even if a rapper raps about his bitches and limos and whatever, it will make an impact if he can convey his passion about that stuff. Abdominal on the other hand is like a rapping machine, technically flawless but that's it.
not his best by far..but dont disrespect him just cos he aint rapping about ho's and bling...theres more to life than that...he battles harder than any other mc ive ever seen..and his olympic swimming training means that when he does flow even the "hardest" mcs are struggling for breath when he's still got 2minutes to go before taking a short breath..unparralleled..check out some of the live video's ...then eat yer words..muppets
abdominal, you really responing yourselfss to thiss???? lol i found out about you through the 3 deep feet song, a few years ago, but i m getting alot of fans for you, cause im letting everyine hearyour awesome flowa.. as soon as i can get your album legally in my country ill buy it bro your flows ar sicky sicky funny haha you the man
I agree and disagree with you. It's not so much as the melody that he's wrapping to, it's that the hook/chorus that I don't care for. Sometimes the hook can make or break a song, but he's so sick, you could just ignore that all together. If somebody like kanye tried to use this same sample, the song would suck.
abs has to be the best mc out their especialy when he teams with format seriosley you can listen to his stuff over and over again and you cant get bored he is the man
@SnepKaunt The implication of your comment is that popular musicians are popular because their music has profound messages and create emotional reactions, which is certainly not true of most modern rappers. Popularity is largely due to hype and marketability.
@ElliotSD no way, you couldn't categorize whats in the charts today with Hip Hop, the difference is that Hip Hop is good. Is like calling Snow Patrol rock musicians. Its good to know theres still great artists on the old school hip hop scene.
i can't put it into words how much i appreciate abdominals work but part of me wishes he does not hit the big scene and remain known to a lucky group of selected people. mainstream will just spoil whoever enters its gates of doom :).
Am I slow or did no one else notice that behind the strongmen before the second verse, it reads "...possess the strength of ten men/who each possess the strength of ten men"? I just thought that was a cool shoutback to Vicious Battle Raps.
Hiyaaaa! Have you heard the talk about - fast abs magic (should be on google have a look)? Ive heard some great things about it and my cousin got great 6 pack abs and lost tons of fat with it.
@DarthCSL He really should be very famous, but he wouldn't sell out enough to be so. Anyone that matters and knows their hip hop know exactly who he is and that's what counts in my opinion.
Dumb people listen to dumb fucking music. This shit should be exactly what hip hop is all about. I'm not a fan of the genre, but I fucking love this guy, dude. Unbelievable style.
You know what, i think he's the kind of geezer who don't give a fuck that he's not as big as 50 or shit like that. He's doin for the music man! Cult legend!
Shame somebody decided to butcher it by putting stupid noises over the "bad" words like "ho". Idiots. Can't wait to see what you do for the "Radio Friendly" vid.
The reason he's not popular is because his songs don't produce any emotional reactions or convey any profound messages. He's just putting words together (and he's amazing at that) but all he raps about is how he's an awesome rapper. It's like a writer who writes about writing. I think he's great but most people want some content in music they listen to... and that's why he's not popular.
I just saw this guy chilling and reading a book when I was going to the subway today. I said hi and that I loved his work, and he was really nice. I really hope he keeps up the amazing flows.
just great!
Yo what song is this sampled over, it's nasty!

Yup, that was me alright. Thanks for the props man. And please nobody stalk me, unless you're a fetching young lass of course ;) Peace, Abs.
@baatobaat Hey man, Abs is for the people...shaking hands, kissing babies, all that good sh*t!
Thanks for all the support homey, A.
Still watching in 2018
Yup, good ears ed. Format produced this 1, + 2 other tracks...."Breathe Later", & "Heaven's Demon". Take care, A.
"I keep in shape..." -- that's a sample from the Ultramagnetic MC's "Poppa Large." Big shout on the east coast, Abdominal/Format-lovers!
Yea Kool Keith

@ElliotSD dont hate hip hop, hate american mainstream
they have misused the term hip hop, thinking they could
call crap by lil wayne hip hop
Shame somebody decided to butcher it by putting stupid noises over the "bad" words like "ho". Idiots. Can't wait to see what you do for the "Radio Friendly" vid.
It makes me hate hip hop more and more when I think that this guy isn't known yet but people like T-Pain and Lil Wayne are making millions.
Dude i live in New Zealand so stalking not really a viable option. But seriously though any chance of a South Pacific tour man?
Dam he's good but he kinda has no publicity or w/e cause I was investigating and he's like a low profile guy, still, mad :p.
I like the scratchin,
"Not a lot of repeating hooks you gotta skip through"
I like that too
You have a nice style to your shit man
Blame the record companies for the shitty mainstream and thank lord for the real flow producers like abdominal
I think this song is great along with his others...I mean it's kind of different but the rapping is still great.

1:20-1:23 ha, lyrics from vicious battle raps, didnt notice until i'll watched it 3 or 4 times, rob
Man, this guy is a much better rapper than Little Wayne and most the rappers in the main stream now.
This MC is a beast, why the fudge is he not getting props ? His rhyming is untouchable.
Jay Z who ?
this is hip hop!!!
gangster rap went down a different path and turned into little wayne- shit
he wouldnt have needed to say he´s jewish, you can tell by his bigass nose! (good song tough)
@NateZen hell yeah i thought eminem had the sickest flow but this guy takes the cake
@DarthCSL He does get props in the hip-hop scene just not in the mainstream rap game
Sorry KnightCrawler2,
but we don´t only think that this is good. We KNOW it!!!!!!!
totally agree man
shame there wasn't anything if that calber on his solo album
battle raps is dope too. i think he may take a breath every 30 sec. in that jam
This park around Davisville station. Why, planning on stalking him?
@joevandal13 - More like 1:54... and it's to censor a swear word
Will do. Thanks for the warm words, A.
Whoever is that sexy "strong man" dude in the beater....?
Excelente...Andy...felicidades por tu éxito

ぜたいDelの方がうまいよ
0:45-0:49
Abdominal is in my eyes one of the best rappers this planets ever seen... when he's with Format - the hit song?
Rather ** fat thumbs and touch screen fail.
the best MC there is, hands down!!!
The reason he's not popular is because his songs don't produce any emotional reactions or convey any profound messages. He's just putting words together (and he's amazing at that) but all he raps about is how he's an awesome rapper. It's like a writer who writes about writing.

SnepKaunt what? Have you hear his pedal pusher song? That shit is ace and has everything you mentioned
abs is the man no question
