I love how the video completely changes the way we perceive the meaning behind the song. It's such a brilliant way of demonstrating the relatability of Slug's issues.
I feel that. My dog is without a doubt my best friend. He makes me happy when I'm sad, and he's always there for me. I feel a stronger bond with him than I do most people.
I really hate people who only pay attention to their dogs when they're puppies then abandon them when they're older. THEY"RE PART OF YOUR FAMILY TAKE CARE OF THEM. People who treat animals like dirt are fucking scum.
I understand this is where Atmosphere's music is going. I was hesitant at first but it's growing on me. Nothing will ever beat Trying to Find a Balence though as far as the video is concerned; you could feel the frustration and the fact he was fighting tooth and nail for everything he had. Although that hasn't changed, he clearly has been humbled by his fame. I have and will still continue to fly 1,200+ miles for soundset - Slug is a talent, he knows talent and surrounds himself with it.
@BombsOnTrees I totally hear that. My fiance has labeled me obsessed. But... it gets me through my day. I love music... but I relate to Atmosphere. Everything... the lyrics the sound, all of it. They put their whole heart into what they do, and I have much respect for that.
You don't know wat uve got until its gone thats wat this song portrays it could be about anything a pet u neglect or dont spend much time with a best friend that is no longer ur friend or family ... Doesnt matter who but the point is tolive every moment with them u dont know when theyll leave
I'm a grown ass man and I was listening to that song about a year after my dad died and it brought me to tears so bad I had to pull over. That end part killed me.
If you pay enough attention to this song, you'll eventually realize that Ant's producing has progressed monumentally. This track is solid. Plenty of detail, recognizable vocals, interesting genre blends and blinds. Keep it up Atmos
change is what makes atmosphere great i have watch the group grow as i have grown i love the change from the battle days as a kid to a grown man learning from my mistakes slug is getting older. I think its great that i can look at the older stuff and take a trip to when i was younger with there music to today. Its hard to see if you haven't been a fan from the start the growth that has took place not with just slug but with ant and the rest of the rhysayers lable its not just music
Every time I listen to Atmosphere it's like it's the first time. So good, I become obsessed all over again, if that's even possible. Slug is a God and Ant is ingenious.
I think its silly how everyone is trippen about how the dog is being treated when people get treat like this all the time... The message of this video is fucking brilliant, maybe too brilliant..
It happens to everyone, when people want to feel depressed they want attention and they will hurt you when others are around just for the psychological attraction to it. It''s all a show.
I feel like artists like Atmosphere are more real than the crowd. Slug always had this sort of seriousness that's almost street but genuine and human and that just makes his lyrics so unreal, appealing and sympathetic. He's tired. He's bitter. He's hopeful. Like everyone else.
I watched this again just now, after having watched it about half an hour ago. I thought maybe this time it would be different... but I cried again this time too.
This got me sad :( It's so true how we fall in love with our dogs in the first couple of weeks then start ignoring it cause the dog love fades away then the dog runs away and when we find out how much we really loved it we post "lost dog" signs all over the place... :/
They got soooo many things right in this video..An ungrateful family...kids brain washed by video games.....the teens smoking pot on the corner...the security guard thats always fat for some reason....the creeper at the corner...and the tamed dog that still manages to be stray. Man atmosphere is the best at bringing out life issues ontop of beats. I love there music. THE REAL RHYME SAYERS
It is, because no one can look deeper into the medium of music and see what the artist is talking about. So instead people go off of what they see, not what they can interpret. In this case - the dog.

If you had the slightest idea of what I was talking about you would see that I frowned upon the disregard for a metaphor and instead just taking a form of art (which is what this video and song are) and not trying to find a bigger meaning to it.
Love this song, love Atmosphere. They're so prolific.. and whoever is saying they sold out is whack. This sounds right in line with their other albums.
I dont care who sees this, i just really need to write. im a 15 year old male, adn this is the first imt eie ever seen this, and i am now crying hysterically. this song just brought out everything i try and hide. i also just got a golden retriever, and the fact that i feel im losing my friends and my family is dieing, and this song just makes me have immense feelings. so i just want to say, youre a great artist, even as im crying in sadness, i think this is helping i jsut neeeded to say somethin
i dont think people realize if their dog misbehaves its cus they dont feel loved and they rebel against the family... my family raised like a dozen dogs none have misbehaved because we eat, sleep, drink, party and play together...a dogs demeanor is a reflection of the happiness of the home they live in
congrats on the golden retriever! they are the best. I grew up with one. The first time I saw this I cried my face it. It feels good man. Now go take your new dog for a walk.
@seandaley you're new album so far is very different but i like that. i feel like you switch it up every album and like every other album, you don't disappoint. thank you for your music.
I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your dog. My English Springer's Spaniel died a couple of months ago while giving birth to puppy's. She was a healthy, beautiful, loving dog but she caught a disease in her womb that poisoned the puppy's. I was devastated and I still am. I really know how you feel because I have been through the same thing. Once again, I'm so sorry for your loss and stay strong brother.
I don't know how Ant and Slug do it...it truly amazes me. Ant...you've produced hundreds of beats...don't you ever run out of ideas? Slug...you've written hundreds of rhymes...don't you ever run out of ideas? True musicians.
Well I think we can both say that losing a dog is one of the most difficult things in life to cope with, and anybody who hasn't had the experience will not understand this kind of pain. My dog has only been able to live for 6 years. She was so beautiful and sweet, I loved her more than any animal (including human beings) in my life. I'm sure you also really loved your dog.
i preordered this album from rhymesayers, cannot wait to get it, autographed and everything else thats included is gonna be awesome. thanks Atmosphere, your music has gotten me through some tough times and made me think about life. i have purchased all of your studio albums, and will continue to do so forever.
I love this! Great video. So sad but that's how it happens sometimes. Some times you get sick of the one that's always there but when they leave see how you feel then. I feel like that dog sometimes and other times I feel like that family. Like go take a long walk off a short peer or something.
the dog is just a metaphore indeed, that's what I like about the clip it could be about anything. And lets just say Slug is the master of metaphorical lyrics.
your welcome, I have a good taste in hip hop. I listen to a song once to see if i like it, 2nd time with my eyes closed in case it's just the video i like/to listen to the beat more, then maybe a 3rd time to pay closer attention to the lyrics. Or sometimes I just hear a song and *BANG*. It clicks, i love it, I find a way to get it (download or iTunes). This one took the full three listens, haha. Beautiful song though, I come back to it when I'm down.
Aw, that video totally made me cry. Probably because my neighbour's poor dogs are outside all the time even when there are people home. It's ok though i still
Can't they just please make a sequel for this video where they find the dog they regret the way the treated him they love him again forever and they live happily ever after?
I love how the video completely changes the way we perceive the meaning behind the song. It's such a brilliant way of demonstrating the relatability of Slug's issues.
I love the way they made the video. Never would've imagined it as this.
Lesson learned: Do NOT take anybody for granted
Damn that's sad. Not gonna lie that made me give my dog a big hug. My dog is my best homie for sure. Great video.
I feel that. My dog is without a doubt my best friend. He makes me happy when I'm sad, and he's always there for me. I feel a stronger bond with him than I do most people.
I really hate people who only pay attention to their dogs when they're puppies then abandon them when they're older. THEY"RE PART OF YOUR FAMILY TAKE CARE OF THEM. People who treat animals like dirt are fucking scum.
ivanaishere i know if u want to get a dog FUCKING TAKE CARE OF IT
calm it down pal It's just a music video
I have 2 adult dogs and I take care of them like my SONS!!!
Do you eat meat?
Ben dogs are domesticated animals meant for humans to own. not consume.
This dog is a good singer
Vyuxie oh yeah
Took my dog for a nice walk after watching this
Was just thinking of doing that.
Lol me too
Hows your dog doing
@Peak of the Apex Passed away a few years ago 😢
I understand this is where Atmosphere's music is going. I was hesitant at first but it's growing on me.
Nothing will ever beat Trying to Find a Balence though as far as the video is concerned; you could feel the frustration and the fact he was fighting tooth and nail for everything he had. Although that hasn't changed, he clearly has been humbled by his fame. I have and will still continue to fly 1,200+ miles for soundset - Slug is a talent, he knows talent and surrounds himself with it.
This is incredible. Love how it makes the song have more meaning too.
damn how are you not worldwide your music is a killer!!!!!!!!!
No one likes the truth...😒 LOL
Where's my 2k12 homies at?
Right here brother
You don't know what you have till it's gone....Hold any kind of love you have close to you.
I just went and played with my dog and told him I loved him after watching this XD
that's what's so beautiful about humans! simple and primal beings so that the brilliant ones REALLY stand out in a crowd!
This makes my heart hurt, for real.
@BombsOnTrees I totally hear that. My fiance has labeled me obsessed. But... it gets me through my day. I love music... but I relate to Atmosphere. Everything... the lyrics the sound, all of it. They put their whole heart into what they do, and I have much respect for that.
My cat was pawing at me the whole song 👍
You don't know wat uve got until its gone thats wat this song portrays it could be about anything a pet u neglect or dont spend much time with a best friend that is no longer ur friend or family ... Doesnt matter who but the point is tolive every moment with them u dont know when theyll leave
Does anyone remember from MLB 2k12 or am I the only that played that game?
I did lol
too bad 2k stopped making them :(
yes i do I used to play it so much but once I say mlb the show I went their!
Sony bought out mlb pisses me off screw Sony
+R4g3 Monsterrr na man I remember it from MLB2K12. I have it on my PSP, just started playing it again, lol.
I'm a grown ass man and I was listening to that song about a year after my dad died and it brought me to tears so bad I had to pull over. That end part killed me.
Damn, man. I love my dog, I would never even leave her outside!
i love all the double entendres in this song.....
If you pay enough attention to this song, you'll eventually realize that Ant's producing has progressed monumentally. This track is solid. Plenty of detail, recognizable vocals, interesting genre blends and blinds. Keep it up Atmos

Me, personally, would spend more time with my dog--best-friend than my human-best-friends.
I’ve listened to this since I was 5 years old, my dad would play it all the time.
That was some deep shit, man.
Every time I listen to Atmosphere it's like it's the first time. So good, I become obsessed all over again, if that's even possible. Slug is a God and Ant is ingenious.
I think its silly how everyone is trippen about how the dog is being treated when people get treat like this all the time... The message of this video is fucking brilliant, maybe too brilliant..
like 10 seconds already had me all teary eyed
It happens to everyone, when people want to feel depressed they want attention and they will hurt you when others are around just for the psychological attraction to it. It''s all a show.
A girl just did that to me. Every time this happens I come here for the song. :)
I love it when music video directors get creative with their work and tell their own stories as well along with the song.
Both are great.
Currently leaving work to go kick it with my dawg.
This video gives me so many feels.
now this is hip hop! anybody that says it's corny are more then likely just follow the crowd anyways.
lol naw I know what you mean. good point.
Fake Name douche
I honestly don’t like hip-hop or rap (I like classic rock) but there are a few gems that don’t rap about money or drugs.
I feel like artists like Atmosphere are more real than the crowd. Slug always had this sort of seriousness that's almost street but genuine and human and that just makes his lyrics so unreal, appealing and sympathetic. He's tired. He's bitter. He's hopeful. Like everyone else.
I watched this again just now, after having watched it about half an hour ago. I thought maybe this time it would be different...
but I cried again this time too.
After watching this I'm going to play with my dog. Seriously.
El Guapo same
my love for Atmosphere just hit an all time high
This got me sad :( It's so true how we fall in love with our dogs in the first couple of weeks then start ignoring it cause the dog love fades away then the dog runs away and when we find out how much we really loved it we post "lost dog" signs all over the place... :/
THIS is why i love these guys
people can take their pets for granted
lovin bein witness to the evolution of Atmosphere..
I had to go pet my dog 30 seconds into this video
Man,I guess this is a message to all those people who dnt show any love to their pet...MUSIC IS THE CURE
Who does these videos? Love em...
I was in love by first lyric!!!!!!!! Slug is amazing!!
I feel bad for this dog...
They got soooo many things right in this video..An ungrateful family...kids brain washed by video games.....the teens smoking pot on the corner...the security guard thats always fat for some reason....the creeper at the corner...and the tamed dog that still manages to be stray. Man atmosphere is the best at bringing out life issues ontop of beats. I love there music. THE REAL RHYME SAYERS
I think its funny that people pay more attention to the dog than the metaphor presented lol..
Devin Delgado Well it's not funny since the pet problems are just as common as every other metaphor you can think of.
It is, because no one can look deeper into the medium of music and see what the artist is talking about. So instead people go off of what they see, not what they can interpret. In this case - the dog.
Devin Delgado Metaphors require thinking, and most people are idiots.

Sean's words...this song "isn’t about a relationship between two people. it's about the expectations we place on art."
sad video
Sean is incredible.
He hasn't made a song that i can skip on my itouch.
This is the saddest thing I've seen in a while. Relating to pets anyway. :(
whoever conceptualized this video should be damn fine proud of themselves.
this is art of the highest caliber.
Love this song, love Atmosphere. They're so prolific.. and whoever is saying they sold out is whack. This sounds right in line with their other albums.
this song really makes you paws and think about life... doggone it
Rhymesayers rules the world!! and make my days sounds so cool..
This video goes absolutely perfectly with the lyrics.
its not just music its life unfolding in the form of songs its art!
I dont care who sees this, i just really need to write. im a 15 year old male, adn this is the first imt eie ever seen this, and i am now crying hysterically. this song just brought out everything i try and hide. i also just got a golden retriever, and the fact that i feel im losing my friends and my family is dieing, and this song just makes me have immense feelings. so i just want to say, youre a great artist, even as im crying in sadness, i think this is helping i jsut neeeded to say somethin
just got the album today AHHHHHHH MUSIC OVERLOAD!!!!!
i dont think people realize if their dog misbehaves its cus they dont feel loved and they rebel against the family... my family raised like a dozen dogs none have misbehaved because we eat, sleep, drink, party and play together...a dogs demeanor is a reflection of the happiness of the home they live in
this is a hidden homage to 80's 90's mtv videos telling an imagery video of the lyrics way cool
Makes me cry every single time. Can't wait to hug my dogs.
congrats on the golden retriever! they are the best. I grew up with one. The first time I saw this I cried my face it. It feels good man. Now go take your new dog for a walk.
ohhhhhhhh im gonna give my doggy some major love!!! he looks just like that dog
Amazing.. I love Atmosphere, this song is dope, and this is one of the coolest video concepts I've seen in years.
@seandaley you're new album so far is very different but i like that. i feel like you switch it up every album and like every other album, you don't disappoint. thank you for your music.
Simply amazing. As always, eternal and inmortal, Atmosphere.
I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your dog. My English Springer's Spaniel died a couple of months ago while giving birth to puppy's.

ALL THE FEELS!!
Absolutely genius video ! Touching. Makes you think bout the way you treat the others...
i never knew what good music was until i heard atmosphere 2 years ago.
Atmosphere is amazing. Amazing video.
Gotta love Atmosphere!!
This video evoked emotions in me I didn't know I was still capable of feeling.
i preordered this album from rhymesayers, cannot wait to get it, autographed and everything else thats included is gonna be awesome. thanks Atmosphere, your music has gotten me through some tough times and made me think about life. i have purchased all of your studio albums, and will continue to do so forever.
His Song Are So Deep!
atmosphere could have went soooo much darker with this, but didn't...and it's still just as amazing. that dog is adorable.
I watched 1 minute of this and it totally broke my heart.
Give that pooch every treat on earth! Such a good boy!
the video makes this song so much stronger, sends chills!
You don't know what you have, untill its gone.
What a cute dog, and a great song. Can't wait to hear some more of the new album.
I love this! Great video. So sad but that's how it happens sometimes. Some times you get sick of the one that's always there but when they leave see how you feel then. I feel like that dog sometimes and other times I feel like that family. Like go take a long walk off a short peer or something.
Slug love to take you on a journey and then throw you off a bridge. Such deep poetry behind his music
Actions are worth more than words
this video actually really makes alot of sense
Jose Rodriguez Yeah And I hate that stupid little kid now
i love this song and video!!!!!
Best Atmosphere video
the dog is just a metaphore indeed, that's what I like about the clip it could be about anything. And lets just say Slug is the master of metaphorical lyrics.
Why am I never disappointed?
