All I have to say is WOW! Even if you don't like the song that shouldn't matter. The message behind it is just something else. It truly is an amazing song...so stop arguing, trolling or whatever it is you all do and enjoy it!!!
simply amazing; dropping fort minor beats over sage francis makes it sounds like a completely different song, to me it sometimes even changes the way you hear the tone in his voice.
I really dig the mix. I think the contrast between the somber piano and Sage's aggressive tone make it. It gives Sage's words that kind of last-stand in-your-face feeling. Mad props.
i like this version better, the music syncs well, and makes the lyrics pop more, like i don't have to fight to listen to what he's saying. it adds a sort of somber bitterness to what he's saying, like he's truly just so done, so fed up with everything going on.
Top 10 consistently for sure. It’s so hard to do that. But high lyrical poet rap always floors me. Strange Famous is some of the best ever for it! B Dolan, Buck 65, Sleep (NW) thank you Sage Infinity!!
this is absolutly batshit crazy amazing! i cant belive these lyrics came from a human lol its just bapholing i dont even have words for how amazing this is!
its funny cause he is talking about what is the hot topic the 1% ect now adays but he was talking about tis shit in 06 i mean honestly he is a very smart man that tried to open eyes before it was to late. and well now it is.
I'm a huge fan of the original Slow Down Ghandhi ..but damn this is a great remix...so much softer than the original, but It really gives you a chance to reflect on the depth of the lyrics..It really is quite brilliant...
No, the beat isn't Corny. I thought the same when I first heard the first part of the piano riff, but when the drums came in, and I gave it chance, it's epic. I have this downloaded, and I'm actually surprised that it's on youtube. This version is fantastic.
I personally like this a lot, whoever put it together did a good job. I think the progressions in his voice, like raising intensity and raising the frequency of his lines ("the sickness, the symptoms"), match really well with the hip-hop pad in the beat. Dope, love Sage
Nice remix, you've really made some effort in this.. There's still no way I would rather listen to this than the original. You just can't improve perfection.
@oscob it's not hard to appreciate Sage's lyrical power :) he is more hip-hop, even more punkt, than all the "real" guys out there... just an intelligent, honest and critical emcee... what else you're looking for? and, this remix is grand, there's also a lot of bad remixes around... but, it's okay, keep remixing! respect!
dude u did a fucking awesome job....when i first heard this i thought fort minor and sage actually collaborated....but this shit is just outstanding dude!!! this song is perfect with this tune!!! AWESOME job dude...fuck the haters!!!
Not until my older cousin, who doesn't typically like hip hop, nor do I but wanted him to listen to uncle sage, and I showed him this song first. Then he told me about the Pepsi. I didn't understand that line at all until then
either way, i think the integration between the songs sound really good. sometimes its all about the sound not the impression their trying to send. appreciate the sound.
Yes BoB, I am sure you wish to be before a time where your kitchen wasn't a conservatory, you didn't have dogs shifting in your back yard when you aren't even allowed a well behaved cat and you had damp bugs crawling up your walls every night for free. I am glad you appreciate your roots mate.
I love the way this track makes his lyrics standout way more. Though the fade-out effect Sage has in the original should have been taken out. Good job regardless.
2020 and we are still here, banging out this mix
2022
2023, still here
2024 ❤
"Making you think you are crazy is a billion dollar industry"
This guy knows what's up
True, I was like DAMN!
❤❤❤
Truest bar ever written
All I have to is this has come to FULL fruition ! Love from Boston Sage
All I have to say is WOW! Even if you don't like the song that shouldn't matter. The message behind it is just something else. It truly is an amazing song...so stop arguing, trolling or whatever it is you all do and enjoy it!!!
Slow down gandhi we know you would never...😢 so much truth in this song!
i've been looking for this FOREVER.
omg this song was so great it really shows how smart sage francis really is
simply amazing;
dropping fort minor beats over sage francis makes it sounds like a completely different song, to me it sometimes even changes the way you hear the tone in his voice.
Sage is the ultimate lyricist. Hands down top 10 if not top 5. His music evokes emotions, tears, and thought...
jeff wimer He's up there with Eyedea, Illogic, and Aesop Rock.
*cough, cough* El-P *cough" Old Lupe *cough, cough, hack, hack*
jeff wimer Eyedea wink wink
This beat has a lot of feeling to it, words match it perfectly
I really dig the mix. I think the contrast between the somber piano and Sage's aggressive tone make it. It gives Sage's words that kind of last-stand in-your-face feeling. Mad props.
I love how you gave the feeling Sage’s words

Even if this was Sage's original beat, ide eat it all up. Love u sage
Just seen Sage with B Dolan as Epic beard men. Two of the most talented rappers/poets and still rocking it
i like this version better, the music syncs well, and makes the lyrics pop more, like i don't have to fight to listen to what he's saying. it adds a sort of somber bitterness to what he's saying, like he's truly just so done, so fed up with everything going on.
Still an amazing mix in 2024. Great lyrics and flow from Sage!
I think this us the best Sage Francis I've heard in a long time.
Top 10 consistently for sure. It’s so hard to do that. But high lyrical poet rap always floors me. Strange Famous is some of the best ever for it! B Dolan, Buck 65, Sleep (NW) thank you Sage Infinity!!
"Just bring home our motherf**kin' brothers and sisters."
I felt his passion in that delivery.
this is absolutly batshit crazy amazing! i cant belive these lyrics came from a human lol its just bapholing i dont even have words for how amazing this is!
I remember playing this for the first time when it came out.... Thanks Sage.
Oddly enough the Fort Minor beat is very reminiscent of a lot of Sage beats. Love the original, and all of Sage's work!
This song gets deeper every time I listen to it. It's a shame this isn't mainstream. I feel there would be a more educated public.
shivers always from sage ... love the depth and feeling that most don't have these dayz
its funny cause he is talking about what is the hot topic the 1% ect now adays but he was talking about tis shit in 06 i mean honestly he is a very smart man that tried to open eyes before it was to late.
and well now it is.
Still relevant
This is on par with The Legion of Doom's mash with Dashboard Confessional and Sage Francis. Very good job :)
2022 is almost over and this song just keeps hitting harder as time goes on.
And I love Sage's lyrics. Match made in heaven.
I feel like the mashup gives a different tone to the song than the original. I love them both but the atmosphere of it is extremely different
Amazing how this song is soooo before it's time!
Glad I could help you out.
Just found this recently & I love this song♥️♥️♥️thank you lots
You are still always welcome to visit our 💖
possibly the second greatest rap song ever by possibly the greatest rapper ever.
Used to listen to this mix in High School when studying for AP Physics and Chem. Time really flies... wow
Never heard the original, but this mix is awesome! Ill check out the original as soon as im done hearing this...
I'm a huge fan of the original Slow Down Ghandhi ..but damn this is a great remix...so much softer than the original, but It really gives you a chance to reflect on the depth of the lyrics..It really is quite brilliant...

This song is sooo good! i'm seeing SF on december 1st! soo pumped
Nice, Sage makes the sample feel way more alive. with his voice. Amazing.
i don't get the dislike for this mash-up because it's amazing
I like this more than both originals
He tell's it like it should be told period.
Sweet Remix... The beat really sets the deepness of Sage's lyrics in this song. Nice Work!!
i totally forgot about this mash up and how awesome it is
this song in any shape or form is a Win!!!
If you like this listen to
Hands down ghandi - legion of doom
LOVE LOVE LOVE this song!! Sage Your the BEST!
Fukin awesome! This song now has two sides...both different, both brilliant...what more could you want?!
need this on spotify....
More relevant than ever now.
All right. I'm Diggin this guy.
I personally like this a lot, whoever put it together did a good job. I think the progressions in his voice, like raising intensity and raising the frequency of his lines ("the sickness, the symptoms"), match really well with the hip-hop pad in the beat. Dope, love Sage
Cannot like this man enough, true poet...
Akira the Don did a great mashup of Slow Down Ghandi and Bittersweet Symphony a long time ago too.
2022 and this still slaps!! Love it great remix
Cant get enough of this man
did a great job. thumbs up bruv.
2021 and this song still hits home
this song is life. scary sometimes, but always beautiful. even through the ugly
both the original songs are dope
Nice remix, you've really made some effort in this.. There's still no way I would rather listen to this than the original. You just can't improve perfection.
he is a great rapper!
@WarningRules What you talkin bout man, all of Sage Francis is amazing.
BRO!!!!!!!!!! HOW GOODS THIS
A song about political conflicts caused by war blended with a song about personal conflicts caused by war.
@oscob
it's not hard to appreciate Sage's lyrical power :) he is more hip-hop, even more punkt, than all the "real" guys out there... just an intelligent, honest and critical emcee... what else you're looking for?
and, this remix is grand, there's also a lot of bad remixes around... but, it's okay, keep remixing! respect!
This is excellent.
"Kill one of ours, we'll kill one of yours with some friendly fire, that's a funny term, like civil war" Love it!
yeah, clever line :)

This is awesome, thanks for posting.
the suicidal tendencies reference was awesome.
i love this. i really, really love this.
best ever! if you don't think so... well then you don't think! so don't!
Gonna make this a mashup thank you for this.
More relavant than ever
I like the lyrics out front of this. Clarity.
2021, still slaps.
I've missed Fort Minor. "The Rising Tied" was a pretty good album.
Sage is the shit...that simple.
Seriously awesome lyrics and hard political bars, serious stuff here that some will miss, but hopefully some will hear and relate to.
really good rapp..I lke it more than the original
dude u did a fucking awesome job....when i first heard this i thought fort minor and sage actually collaborated....but this shit is just outstanding dude!!! this song is perfect with this tune!!! AWESOME job dude...fuck the haters!!!
the lyrics are great and the remix made the original song better because of the "Where'd you go" rythm
incredible
Did anyone else get the "Suicidal Tendencies" reference in this song??!! :)
Lmfao I know man, I'm a huge ST fan. I was just a bit surprised to hear it!!
Arlington Lacrosse It's all good brotherman!! No need to be sorry about that :) I agree dude!! It's gonna be dope!! As to you as well!! :)
Thanks for pointing this out, Arlington! Lyrics below:
Lyrics "Institutionalized" by Sucidal tendencies
Sometimes I try to do things
And it just doesn't work out the way I wanted to
And I get real frustrated
And I'm like, I try hard to do it
And I'm like, take my time
And it doesn't work out the way I wanted to
It's like, I concentrate on real hard but it doesn't work out
And everything I do and everything I try it never turns out
It's like, I need time to figure these things out
There's always someone there going, 'Hey, Mike
You know, we've been noticing
You've been having a lot of problems lately'
'You know, you should, maybe, get away
And like, maybe you should talk about it, you'll feel a lot better'
And I go, 'No, it's okay, you know I'll figure it out
Just leave me alone I'll figure it out
You know I'll just work it out myself'
And they go, 'Well you know if you want to talk about it
I'll be here you know and you'll probably feel a lot better
If you talked about it, so why don't you talk about it'
I go, 'No, I don't want to I'm okay, I'll figure it out myself'
And they just keep bugging me and they just keep bugging me
And it builds up inside
You're gonna be institutionalized
You'll come out brainwashed with bloodshot eyes
You won't have any say
They'll brainwash you until you see their way
I'm not crazy, institution
You're the one who's crazy, institution
You're driving me crazy, institution
They stuck me in an institution
Said it was the only solution
To give me the needed professional help
To protect me from the enemy, myself
I was in my room and I was just like staring at the wall
Thinking about everything
But then again I was thinking about nothing
And then my mom came in and I didn't even know she was there
She called my name and I didn't even hear it
And then she started screaming, 'Mike, Mike'
And I go, 'What, what's the matter''
And she goes, 'What's the matter with you''
I go, 'There's nothing wrong, mom'
And she goes, 'Don't tell me that, you're on drugs'
I go, 'No, mom, I'm not on drugs, I'm okay
I was just thinking you know, why don't you get me a Pepsi'
And she goes, 'No, you're on drugs
I go, 'Mom, I'm okay, I'm just thinking'
She goes, 'No you're not thinking, you're on drugs
Normal people don't act that way'
I go, 'Mom just give me a Pepsi, please'
All I want is a Pepsi and she wouldn't give it to me
All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi
And she wouldn't give it to me, just a Pepsi
They give you a white shirt with long sleeves
Tied around you're back, you're treated like thieves
Drug you up because they're lazy
It's too much work to help a crazy
I'm not crazy, institution
You're the one who's crazy, institution
You're driving me crazy, institution
They stuck me in an institution
Said it was the only solution
To give me the needed professional help
To protect me from the enemy, myself
I'm sitting in my room and my mom and my dad came in
They pulled up a chair and they sat down, they go
'Mike, we need to talk to you'
I go, 'Okay, what's the matter''
They go, 'Me and your mom have been noticing lately
That you've been having a lot of problems
You've been going off for no reason and we're afraid
You're gonna hurt somebody
We're afraid you're gonna hurt yourself'
'So we decided that it would be in your interest
If we put you somewhere
Where you could get the help that you need'
And I go, 'Wait, what are you talking about, we decided
My best interest, how can you know what's my best interest is''
'How can you say what my best interest is'
What are you trying to say, I'm crazy'
When I went to your schools, I went to your churches
I went to your institutional learning facilities'
So how can you say I'm crazy''
They say they're gonna fix my brain
Alleviate my suffering and my pain
But by the time they fix my head
Mentally, I'll be dead
I'm not crazy, institution
You're the one who's crazy, institution
You're driving me crazy, institution
They stuck me in an institution
Said it was the only solution
To give me the needed professional help
To protect me from the enemy, myself
It doesn't matter, I'll probably get hit by a car anyway

Yes I did. And it reminded me of Cypress Hill.
Not until my older cousin, who doesn't typically like hip hop, nor do I but wanted him to listen to uncle sage, and I showed him this song first. Then he told me about the Pepsi. I didn't understand that line at all until then
either way, i think the integration between the songs sound really good.
sometimes its all about the sound not the impression their trying to send.
appreciate the sound.
true beauty
This song is sick

off go the dreadlocks, in comes the income. Fucking poetry dude! What a fucking line!
This is effing awesome.
this is one of the sickest remixes of the song yet! this is a remix right?
Amazing.
2021 and still not on Spotify…
BRILLIANT !
I love the way this track makes his lyrics standout way more. Though the fade-out effect Sage has in the original should have been taken out. Good job regardless.
Do I hate Fort minor: no.
Do I love sage? Yes.
This is good.
great mix!
very good song
