Met you VIP 2013 at the Midland in KC.. you guys opened and it was fuckin incredible. Unfortunate on what went down, but Ubi, the best has yet to come. Big things coming your way. Thank you for helping me get thru my dark days
CES Cru used to be my Strange favorite, right alongside Tech and Krizz. Thank you for all the years of wonderful music, wish you all the best in the future!
@@razeeal it's wild how the strangeulation cypher was basically *the* peak of Strange Music, everyone working together and rapping about how they're a family and going to be together forever
@@Atrainyadig33 i know the whole story of the drama, that's what i'm saying, it's just tragic to see how far we've fallen since what seemed like the glory days of being a Strange fan
Love how you transition from a "set" like a music video. Then to just go into your house. Showing how this whole situation isn't just a rap/ career thing. But it's a personal experience you had to go though. It "hit home" Powerful
Ubiquitous man, I am glad you did this track. You didn't bash the man, I can feel your respect towards him with these words. Man, addiction is a mf for realz. Man, he got me for a feature back when I didn't know all this went down but you know that didn't change how I feel about him. Goddi is dope af and there is no denying it. I am sure we would have made a dope ass track together but it is what it is. Much love to yall. I hope things work out soon.. Keep it going fam! 🙏🙏💯💯
just like in 7 chakras music video - i think also in this every light reflected the color of chakra that would closest correlate what was said in bars - 7 chakras is one of my all time ever music videos for that - so simple but so well thought out
Fuck. End of an era for sure. As much as I feel listening to this is probably only a fraction of what he felt writing and recording this. All love and thanks for the inspiration.
Gotta tell you guys, I was lucky enough to meet and hang with UBI when he came into my brewery in Ogden Utah while on the ¡MAYDAY! Believers 10 tour. He is one of the kindest, most genuine, and humble humans out there. He deserves all his success and more. To open up about something like this to your fans must take so much strength and courage. Keep doing your thing UBI, we’ll all be here to support.
I think the callbacks are: Seven Chakras lighting and everything at the start Spitting to the mirror like in the Pharmacy video Thing on the TV superimposed like in Letterman Spitting while walking around a house like in Letterman Maybe the other ones are resemblances more than intentional callbacks cause their videos are often filmed similarly
My heart is breaking and can’t hold back my tears! You guys were my biggest inspiration and support in my darkest moments and your words made me feel untouchable and helped me find my way back home.❤
You were part of the reason I made it through my middle/high school years. CES constantly exceeding standards n Strange music really gave me the strength to be myself and be okay not fitting in. And it continued to help me on into early adulthood, But then I grew up fast when covid hit, and looked at the business structure, I see the smoke/mirrors + half hearted nonsense from leadership. All that aside the bars were fire and thats what kept me hooked. Unfortunately TOG knew this and instead of using that as passion to further innovate and dominate the industry like was said - instead started to take it for granted, treating the fanbase like they were less than even though they helped build up the best brand. Tech earned his gold flake steaks in the city he reps, all love and respect to the G who did the work - my issue is with Travis and how Strange has been mismanaged. Ubi with how strong you've stood by the label you 110% deserved fk that EARNED a spot on Face Off. But idk why they didn't see that and pushed Joey Cool instead. The music helped me grow, I will always remember those foundational moments, growing up summer 2013 in a small oregon town - smoking some bammer weed and scraping pipes for resin to split amongst the homies lol. Now im all grown up 25 with a career in sales, I don't listen to music as much as I used to but i still make time to spin a few tracks and UBI your solo album is always in rotation 🔥 if anybody actually read this long comment here's a cookie, I love life and wish you well n positive vibes from Oregon 🍪
This hits home. Used to name ces cru all day everyday with two homies. Since then we have all gone our separate ways due to drugs and bad relationships. Crazy to think about
You guys together are truly something special. I have been wondering what's been going on since the whole scam thing, thank you for shedding some light on this because we do miss you guys, but we want Godi to want Godi to get better. Much love, you've been killing it too man, doing your own thing. I bought Under Bad Influence as soon as it came out
Bro. Seven chakras got me through so much. Thank you for this one. We needed this. We are praying for you Godi. You need a 180 brotha. And the smart fans know not to blame you Ubi
Oh shit. I mean the track itself was not only necessary, but so well executed man. The fact that we're getting a video for it to actually see your face as you say the shit is.. yeah. As a veteran ces fan this is such a bittersweet song. It sucks to hear songs like this, Stepping Stone about D12 is the most recent track that's given me this feeling. Like I appreciate you going out of your way to tell us your side, and in such a dope way, but the situation as a whole sucks.
Damn visuals got me tearing up all over again. I'm so sorry UBI you didn't deserve to go thru this all. Your Phoenix has burned, it's time for your rise!!
I can see how this video is reminiscent of seven chakras at the beginning and it really hits home for someone who’s been listening for years since highschool
Man Ces Cru has always been my favorite. The more I listened to them the deeper I saw their discography go, it was so fun listening to all their songs over and over again. Been bumping for like 10 years now
Wow I somehow magically caught the premiere for this video and PHEWWW, the Seven Chakras ode in the beginning of the video was beautiful. All around great one-take visual, and man just what a deep song. We all appreciate the transparency Ubi. Ces will definitely live on in many of our memories forever 🙏🏼
Godi actually spoke with me briefly and liked a few of my IG raps of his. I still put him up there as far as a top emcee. Its terribly sad what happened and the road he was led down. Hopefully its not his end but his turning point. And hopefully, he's driven to continue with music for all of the right reasons. He's got an amazing gift, everything else will follow. God bless ya man, I know it wasn't the easiest thing to make but I appreciate it as a fan.
Got me in tears man, I've loved following your work all these years, and I'm so fucking thankful for the memories through this video. Seeing you and Godi perform at the FIllmore with Tech and Krizz Kaliko in like 2016 was a highlight of my hip hop journey, and I will forever cherish my signed Catostrophic Event Specialists, that's a grail. Wishing you all the best with your coming album!
This is a beautiful letter. Thank you for who you are and how you do. Been listening since 2011 and for what it's worth, thank you for this. Looking forward to this coming project.
Yeah. I know Donnie or godemis can make it out the hole. You make me cry on my phone with this one. I didn't know there was video. I've been listen to it on Spotify. I'm happy you made visuals. Ces cru is forever. And we are waiting for you to heal brother King if you are reading our comments. I love you. Wake up
YOU dropped Harmony of Sphere's and Pharmacy. Your musical expression has moved people that you don't even know. I'm thankful af for that alone, thank you Ubi. 🐍🦇
Thank you. I can only see and hear and feel from where I stand, but Ubi sound and feel like he is on a healing journey soul and brother in hand. Love you ces curse the planet named goddam
Ces Cru had me hooked when I first seen and heard them live Santa Cruz and to this day I still be rolling blasting out Ces Cru.. much love UBI , you're my favorite artist stay up brother
First thought it was a straight diss, but nah it's a call for help for his friend, his family, his brother. Man how I wish things would go back to the way they were, group was 🔥, alone was 🔥 then godi just was gone 😢
I remember my brother putting me on to Strange and Ces Cru and was and have been a fan ever since. Its been quite the journey bro! Glad to see how far you have come! This video made me shed a tear man but i feel like it was necessary to move FWD ❤
I came to a meet and greet in Fresno years ago as a member of the street team for SM. Of all the names on the ticket, I was most exited to meet you guys. When I got up to you, you were super respectful, shook my hand, thanked me for the street team work. You were a pleasure to meet. Godi however, was sitting cross legged on the floor half asleep or something. I always told myself he was probably feeling sick or not feeling well mentally, but hearing this puts that experience in perspective. I hope he gets the help he needs, and I hope you can flourish now that you are free from that situation.
When yall first start working with tech I had never heard of you guys but yall turned into my favorite strange artist. Sucks that things had to change in this way. S/O to you UBI great song
A beautiful beautiful video Ubi, I've been very grateful for all of your solo projects over the years and this feels like a necessary bookend to show people why Ces cannot continue but showing that the spirit was always within YOU. The Seven Chakras callback was very well executed and walking around your studio with you really gave me tingles.
Ive been waiting for so long for this UBI. Honestly i still bump the albums in my truck. Forever will. You BOTH made a musical home for me. Please keep going
I was at the Ces Fest and enjoyed that era of Ces, but I fully understand having to move on from the past and letting go of people that are essentially gone now. Hopefully Godi gets what he needs, but Ubi has to keep pushing.
I seen ubi spitting freestyles in the line at the Monroe in (Grand Rapids mi) was such a humble guy,great personality, he crushed it on stage that night stood out from the rest of the groups, keep it up, love your style it’s been a helpful for me to keep pushing away the bad people for myself!

This shit Hurt. Thank you Ubi
Ty ubi
Find it
We always gonna support ✊️ 13 years strong and ain't going no where!
It takes a true friend to speak the cold hard truth to the loved ones that are doing bad. ❤
Good thing he spoke on the elephant in the room. Being silent about this in music is deafening. Ubi has been doin his thing and it's been awesome
CES Cru used to be my Strange favorite, right alongside Tech and Krizz. Thank you for all the years of wonderful music, wish you all the best in the future!
Peak Strange Music times back then. Like right after they released their Cypher songs, it went downhill

you can just tell from the relics he keeps in his house that this was everything to him, and that must make that hurt much deeper.
Godi was a huge light in the dark for me. I genuinely believe that he will course correct. Being intelligent can be a blessing and a curse.
real
I sure hope so, I really admired him as an artist. I just hope hes good, drugs can ruin anyones life if you let em
Dude always had mad vocabulary and flows for days so I'm excited for this new project.
I like the seven chakras call back
My favorite ces cru song. It's gotten me through so many hard times that I just wanted to give up or explode. Their music was so powerful
just like in 7 chakras music video - i think also in this every light reflected the color of chakra that would closest correlate what was said in bars - 7 chakras is one of my all time ever music videos for that - so simple but so well thought out

Powerful.
Constant Energy Struggles x Conglomerate Elements of Self-Conciseness x Capture Enemy Soldiers.
CES, Thank You.
Sad song and a sad situation.
Still love Ces Cru, and wishing the best for both of you!

Man the lighting immediately made me think of Seven Chakras
im sure that was the point, and the lights turning off and getting out of that world and showing the reality, its more than metaphorical
I think the callbacks are:
Seven Chakras lighting and everything at the start
Spitting to the mirror like in the Pharmacy video
Thing on the TV superimposed like in Letterman
Spitting while walking around a house like in Letterman
Maybe the other ones are resemblances more than intentional callbacks cause their videos are often filmed similarly
My heart is breaking and can’t hold back my tears! You guys were my biggest inspiration and support in my darkest moments and your words made me feel untouchable and helped me find my way back home.❤
I hope you go down as a legend in history UBI. To me you are already one 🫡
Everyone knows UBI carried Ces Cru anyway. Glad you out on your own man
You were part of the reason I made it through my middle/high school years. CES constantly exceeding standards n Strange music really gave me the strength to be myself and be okay not fitting in.

Ces Cru was my first concert when they came through Omaha. My signed CD has since been stolen but i still remember that wonderful night. Much love 🧡
Ubi.. thank you for this.. from a long time ces and strange music fan.

Thank you for everything Ubi! You have been my biggest inspiration and continue to still be my inspiration next to Eminem,Pac and all the greats!
I love you UBI. I've been waiting to hear from you, wasn't sure I would. I'll always be a supporter of the man that brought me what you could.
Im hoping that he hears this, and he makes himself a plan..
Thank you. I can only see and hear and feel from where I stand, but Ubi sound and feel like he is on a healing journey soul and brother in hand. Love you ces curse the planet named goddam

May peace find Godemis.
Onward for Ubi & Ces was a dope Cru while we had it.
You the perfect rolemodel for kids man. Never stop creating.

This really lays down everything. Amazing lyricism as always brotha.
The ozark trailers looking fire, can not wait to watch the show
Good shit bro it’s nice to see there’s other talent that is doing it for the love of music like myself and what a great message
Time heals all, I hope. Keep doing your thing Ubi, you're a samurai with the pen. Hopefully Godemis makes an avengers level come back some day. CES!
You placed that one big fan and n keep it up ⚖️🖤🤾🏿♂️
😢 hits deep man, nothing stays the same it's all bound to change someday

This was my favorite music act from Strange. UbI i love you bro
Thank you this.... I love ces cru... hope he hears this. I did....✌💜🐍🦇
