One of the best things about Atmosphere is that they've put out so much boom songs that even the seasoned Atmosphere listener can go on youtube and find a great track that they hadnt heard before. Respect to Slug and Ant these are musicians who do it for the love of the art and you hear it in every song!
Just saw slug live man, best live show i think you could ever see, puts on the best show, soooo hype too. This song was hype as fuck when he did it. Slug is a fuckin lyrical genius, writes the REAAAL shit.
Atmosphere has brought me so many places Under our very atmosphere Soo many answers lie here in his music. Thank you slug Thank you ant Happy holidays to everyone. Can anyone else agree that atmosphere brought you into deeper music ? Literally had me on a quest for true emcees haha
Verse: Slug] Shrapnel... I can't remember who asked me, but someone asked me How long I thought that I would be allowed atop this trash heap I didn't answer cause I'm tired of criticizing the masses Inspired the support the devouring of the self All the power to the people who dig potholes Placed me in a glass case full of lost treasures and fossils Got a right to be hostile, my love is gettin' gang raped By an army full money hungry crocodiles Quantity is up, market in a flood But the party over here has never steered through so much love I'll take the laughter, but I'd rather have the women Who am I kiddin'? I'll be content with whatever I'm given Work for food, rent, sex, money, or water I don't know what else that you have to offer Your first born daughter? No need, already got her She came to the set hungry and left hot and bothered My posse's full of women, computer nerds, and thugs Much to my dismay, I'm none of the above Someday I'mma be the mack of the minute And you were so damn good I'mma have to forget it Listen to the mimic, it's almost on Drink, til ya hit me with a tall potion Think quick, how much more insult Will it take for me to break your light bulb Shrapnel... [Hook] Shards of pull cards scattered on the carpet It's hard to breathe cause you wear a fitted target Tug upon a choke chain, travel the cold rain Of course I've came to show you shrapnel Shards of pull cards scattered on the carpet It's hard to breathe cause you wear a fitted target Tug upon a choke chain, travel the cold rain Of course I've came to show you shrapnel [Verse: Slug] Check your mail, climb your ladder Count the pieces you've managed to gather Does it matter? What are you trying to achieve? Let go of your throat if you're dying to breathe And finally we've begun to make a little progress Ain't a single dock in this river that can stop us Lost in the mix like a feeble over dub Got me screaming at these shippin' till these people know what's up Yeah Slug's back, but his collection of hub caps Caught a buzzin' brought a notebook full of love raps Open the pipes and tuck that voice in I'mma sit on this corner and nibble on my poison Baby once in awhile I find a reason to smile But most the time it's spent deep in denial It's all make believe, I want the cake to eat But this lake's too deep, tryin' to stand on two feet Wonderin' about the thunder runnin' through this blood I try to keep my cool, but the hat fits too snug Study the love, took my degree Shoved it into a bottle, chucked it into the sea. [Hook]
This beat is seriously a gem and it's very disappointing this REAL TALENT isn't as big as it should be in today's industry but then again it IS an industry...
I was bumpin this 14 years ago when I got stopped by some rookie cop who thought I was a 40 year old gunman who robbed a deli on the opposite side of Eugene, Oregon. Mind you I was 16. It was 5 in the morning, and I was walking about 3.5 miles to get to work at a donut shop, which he later dropped me off at and said "there won't be any animosity towards me when I come in for breakfast will there be?" LMAO! No! Thanks for getting me fired asshole. Still love this album.
+VicViper You're the person who robbed a deli.. the fuck? I mean obviously there's a register but a fucking deli? the hell you trying to gain? salami? XD
the first time i listened to this song all the way through i was tired as hell from not sleeping and getting stared at cuz i was bobbing my head to this song at the bus stop near the north hollywood station and it made absolute sense!! i was reapplying my lipstick like yeah bitch what the fuck is up SHRAPNEL! (n i never cared for this song much prior to this) and i started glaring and shit AND THATS WHEN I HEARD THAT FUCKIN DEMON SHIT AGAIN LIKE WHOOOO BABY.. thats my tummy jumping--Shrapnel--
Everyday cant be THE BEST DAY. But if you try hard enough, sometimes THE LOSER WINS. Just keep lookin for girl till you can say SHES ENOUGH, When you can talk about dying together lookin at the tombstone, and saying YOUR NAME HERE, you know thats a LOVE LIFE. And just cause ya fuck up dont mean youre a BAD BAD DADDY, let alone THE NUMBER NONE. Like you, im lookin for MY KEY, cause man THE MODERN MAN MUST HUSTLE. now let me tell you SOMETHING, SONG ABOUT A FRIEND is a song about ATMOSPHERE.

so true! this one has always been my favorite. a high school friends' family owned a music store in Akron and I heard it on CD. I was probably 16. :)
i was obsessed with slug/atmos for years. this was one of my most played tracks. still good.
Still dope in 2022
I never got the meaning behind this song before, but holy shit this songs crazy. The beat, the delivery, and the message is just intense.
Ant's beats are incredible
I love the echo like melody to this song. Its unique from the rest ! This whole album is amazing and something I will always come back to
Anchorage loves atmosphere! We want them to come back!
...i promise I won't get kicked out next time we love you

Atmosphere has brought me so many places
Under our very atmosphere
Soo many answers lie here in his music.
Thank you slug
Thank you ant
Happy holidays to everyone.
Can anyone else agree that atmosphere brought you into deeper music ?
Literally had me on a quest for true emcees haha
Sure did
He's a man alright
Peep some Common Market joints like Back Home (The Return) and Tobacco Road
Where do I know bazooka tooth from
Bazooka Tooth Atmosphere arguably moved me to writing fiction, so I owe these guys at least a cold one
I've somehow managed to only hear the live version of this.. Soo tight either way.
Verse: Slug]
Shrapnel...
I can't remember who asked me, but someone asked me
How long I thought that I would be allowed atop this trash heap
I didn't answer cause I'm tired of criticizing the masses
Inspired the support the devouring of the self
All the power to the people who dig potholes
Placed me in a glass case full of lost treasures and fossils
Got a right to be hostile, my love is gettin' gang raped
By an army full money hungry crocodiles Quantity is up, market in a flood
But the party over here has never steered through so much love
I'll take the laughter, but I'd rather have the women
Who am I kiddin'? I'll be content with whatever I'm given
Work for food, rent, sex, money, or water
I don't know what else that you have to offer
Your first born daughter? No need, already got her
She came to the set hungry and left hot and bothered
My posse's full of women, computer nerds, and thugs Much to my dismay, I'm none of the above
Someday I'mma be the mack of the minute
And you were so damn good I'mma have to forget it
Listen to the mimic, it's almost on
Drink, til ya hit me with a tall potion
Think quick, how much more insult
Will it take for me to break your light bulb Shrapnel...
[Hook]
Shards of pull cards scattered on the carpet
It's hard to breathe cause you wear a fitted target
Tug upon a choke chain, travel the cold rain
Of course I've came to show you shrapnel
Shards of pull cards scattered on the carpet
It's hard to breathe cause you wear a fitted target
Tug upon a choke chain, travel the cold rain
Of course I've came to show you shrapnel
[Verse: Slug]
Check your mail, climb your ladder
Count the pieces you've managed to gather
Does it matter? What are you trying to achieve?
Let go of your throat if you're dying to breathe
And finally we've begun to make a little progress
Ain't a single dock in this river that can stop us
Lost in the mix like a feeble over dub
Got me screaming at these shippin' till these people know what's up
Yeah Slug's back, but his collection of hub caps
Caught a buzzin' brought a notebook full of love raps
Open the pipes and tuck that voice in
I'mma sit on this corner and nibble on my poison
Baby once in awhile I find a reason to smile
But most the time it's spent deep in denial It's all make believe, I want the cake to eat
But this lake's too deep, tryin' to stand on two feet
Wonderin' about the thunder runnin' through this blood
I try to keep my cool, but the hat fits too snug
Study the love, took my degree
Shoved it into a bottle, chucked it into the sea. [Hook]
Is that the harmonica from Once Upon a Time in the West at 3:56?

This beat is seriously a gem and it's very disappointing this REAL TALENT isn't as big as it should be in today's industry but then again it IS an industry...
