“I’ll never say another bad word about you” is a reference to the song “little man”. His father told him he didn’t like being spoken bad about on his songs. So when he passed slug wrote this. Also for way deeper in depth, look at “nothing but sunshine” for more parental history.
Overcast for me my guy . He was kind of angry back in the day lol listen to the lucy ford ep you’ll see how much growth he’s had through his music he’s been out since 97 was straight underground . scribble jam days with immortal technique
Coming up on 29 years ago I lost mine, this song still hits hard. Slug is a master of conveying the underlying emotion. Peace and strength to others who lost theirs, be the best one you can be for your kids.
the best performing artist ive seen in the hip hop genre... Probably explains why they sell out every show; big and small. But I just saw them at Red rocks; sold out, amazing!
this was/is my favorite atmosphere song. this is the first time i have listened to it on two years. Since my father passed away i have been unable to listen to it. for some reason i came across your video and decided to hear that last verse one more time.. its still hard. dont know if it ever will not be. but thank you MRLBOYD. Thank you for taking the time to break down this lyrical masterpiece and for reacquainting me with my favorite song that i can no longer listen to. thank you,.
Always loved this song for the sentiment and the way it’s written in that you don’t really know what it’s about til the very end. It’s such a good song. But then I lost my dad earlier this week. Booyyy does this song hit different. Gotta love atmosphere. One of few artists that can really make you feel things
I've always loved your perspective and truthfulness that you clearly are able to give. Lost my father when I was 9 and the final memory that I have of him is being over my mother's shoulder and saying "You made Mama cry." And I'm OUT. I LOVE HOW AUTHENTIC YOU ARE...I FEEL IT
He’s not mad that his father left that’s not it it’s that he never got to tell his father how much he actually loved him while he was alive so he feels regret …
I hate when people see the twist ending before the end. The song is written to make you think it's about a divorce or a really nasty break up. That final line hits so hard when you don't see it coming.
How are you going to going to be mad that someone's an active listener? Part of the reason the mainstream is so bad is because of passive listeners who don't even care what they're listening to.
Atmosphere does sentiment better than anyone. Little man is a song I show people when I really want to get across what makes Atmosphere special. The verse to his dad is just such a gut punch
me and my dad used to drink to this song. hes like 11 years sober now but we both still know its a gem and time is tickin cause he aint gettin younger. he a stubborn ol biker tho he aint goin nowhere lord willing lol
My life has collected to this moment. I have like this video to let you know i want more of this specific type of video❤ Some banger titles by Atmos to check out Virgo Everything Besos The loser wins Gods Bathroom floor
This song sounds early 2000’s because it’s from 2008 😂 The song “nothing but sunshine” explains a lot about his childhood. His father k*lled himself after his mother d*ed. Atmosphere is one of my favorite hip hop groups in the world. Slug has a way with words and Ant is a ridiculous dj. I saw them in Chicago recently! They’re both so silly and kind. Love your channel btw!
Every time I hear this song I think there's a double going on..like he's talking about his dad, but he's also talking about himself in the same perspective...maybe it's my own thoughts about my life but I feel like there's more going on in this story
I think the whole thing about his dad leaving "slowly" was supposed to imply that he committed suicide, and that he was too self-absorbed to notice any warning signs.
I never knew this. Person I think about when I listen to this song committed suicide. It's a very hard thing to go through. I really hate to hear that his father passed that way.
Atmosphere has soooooo many good songs. My personal favorite is Sunshine and next to that would be F*ck You Lucy from them. But honestly check out Rhymesayers Entertainment, loads of great artists.

Trying to find a balance is what got me listening to atmosphere
Same. Brilliantly unhinged. Instantly hooked.
The Woman with the tattooed hands was the first Atmosphere song I ever heard and I've been a fan ever since. ✊
Overcast for me my guy . He was kind of angry back in the day lol listen to the lucy ford ep you’ll see how much growth he’s had through his music he’s been out since 97 was straight underground . scribble jam days with immortal technique
That’s the song my friend introduced me to Atmosphere with, now about 25+ of his songs are in my rotation
Ge Fly was my first Atmos song. I fell instantly in love.
After losing my dad a few years ago, this song felt like it was written for me. Helped me process stuff. Thanks, Slug
The album came out like 3 weeks before my dad died and it saved me. I got to thank Slug for it when I saw him perform a few years ago.
Just happened earlier this week for me.
It really hits different now.
Must have driven around playing this song on repeat for a solid 30 minutes
Coming up on 29 years ago I lost mine, this song still hits hard. Slug is a master of conveying the underlying emotion. Peace and strength to others who lost theirs, be the best one you can be for your kids.
I can't even imagine that day. Merry belated Christmas carnal
So the crazy thing is, his Dad is still alive
I’m lucky enough to still have both of my parents and this song still makes me cry every time 😢
Same here. This song is more than a rap, it's poetry.
That’s a blessing, much love to your parents. Lost my pops in 2021 n I still ain’t right.
the best performing artist ive seen in the hip hop genre... Probably explains why they sell out every show; big and small. But I just saw them at Red rocks; sold out, amazing!
🎉🎉i was there. Probs my fav seeing him yet. He always throws down but he just keeps getting better
i grew up in Colorado and dude people wont understand how magical red rocks is until you experience it
Became or Last To Say are great songs by atmosphere
Atmosphere is made of 2 guys. Ant does the production and Slug raps.
and boy do they ever
so happy to see him react to this this was my fav song back in the day hope he does sunshine next!

It’s such a good song.
But then I lost my dad earlier this week.

Gotta love atmosphere.
One of few artists that can really make you feel things
About a month ago I finally got to see him perform this live.
Absolutely love this song.
I've always loved your perspective and truthfulness that you clearly are able to give.
Lost my father when I was 9 and the final memory that I have of him is being over my mother's shoulder and saying "You made Mama cry." And I'm OUT.
I LOVE HOW AUTHENTIC YOU ARE...I FEEL IT
Atmosphere's Best Day was on heavy repeat through the darkest time in my life.
Check out "Puppets" and "The Loser Wins" for more Atmosphere.
Caught em live once before will do it again.
Slug isn't a rapper, he's a poet.
He’s not mad that his father left that’s not it it’s that he never got to tell his father how much he actually loved him while he was alive so he feels regret …

This one pairs really well with Little Man. Which is just a great Atmosphere joint in its own right.
Atmosphere does sentiment better than anyone.
Little man is a song I show people when I really want to get across what makes Atmosphere special.
The verse to his dad is just such a gut punch
Little Man is my favorite Atmosphere song, even of Slugs colabs.
Check out "The Waitress" by Atmosphere.
me and my dad used to drink to this song. hes like 11 years sober now but we both still know its a gem and time is tickin cause he aint gettin younger. he a stubborn ol biker tho he aint goin nowhere lord willing lol
This was my first concert, Seattle 2008. Been a fan ever since.
Great artistry right here!
This song made me cry the first time I heard it.
if you havent had the chance you should check out the song "became" bye "atmosphere" another interesting story rap.
My second favorite from Atmosphere.
Became.
I love atmosphere they’re my favorite
Such a beautifully put together song. It’s so upbeat and sad at the same time. Slug is underrated!
Just saw them live just say mark that off my bucket list.
My life has collected to this moment. I have like this video to let you know i want more of this specific type of video❤
Some banger titles by Atmos to check out
Virgo
Everything
Besos
The loser wins
Gods Bathroom floor
The best day or anything from @Overcast especially Scapegoats
Insomnia is a great less known song by Atmosphere. Hopefully one day I’ll see someone react to it.
This song sounds early 2000’s because it’s from 2008 😂 The song “nothing but sunshine” explains a lot about his childhood. His father k*lled himself after his mother d*ed. Atmosphere is one of my favorite hip hop groups in the world. Slug has a way with words and Ant is a ridiculous dj. I saw them in Chicago recently! They’re both so silly and kind. Love your channel btw!
I would recommend "Hair" or "They're All Going To Laugh @ You"
Man im gonna miss this mans channel. This is one of the most thoughtful and detailed reactioners on youtube. Hope all is well in your future boss 🙏
Trying to find my balance. My atmosphere that’s what I’d like to see.
Millennium Dodo is a must listen
Every time I hear this song I think there's a double going on..like he's talking about his dad, but he's also talking about himself in the same perspective...maybe it's my own thoughts about my life but I feel like there's more going on in this story
Actually super impressed you knew it was his dad. Respect!
For the first listen for me, I figured it was some kind of close lover/wife.. so when he mentioned it was his dad it took me waaaaay aback
Def need to check out "Puppets"
There is so much @atmosphere you should check out.
Trying to find a balance
Godlovesugly
The best day
Sunshine
Sunshine best hangover song ever 😊
I think the whole thing about his dad leaving "slowly" was supposed to imply that he committed suicide, and that he was too self-absorbed to notice any warning signs.
I'm about your age, I Think..but thanks, man. You nailed it.
His father committed suicide.
I never knew this.
Person I think about when I listen to this song committed suicide.
It's a very hard thing to go through.
I really hate to hear that his father passed that way.
More atmosphere please
Song about his Dad😊
Atmosphere has soooooo many good songs. My personal favorite is Sunshine and next to that would be F*ck You Lucy from them. But honestly check out Rhymesayers Entertainment, loads of great artists.
Kendrick Lamar - "Opposites Attract" 🙏 💯
I'd say listen to Nothing But Sunshine if you want to hear more about Slug's parents and his life
This right here 👌
U gotta react to “the things that hate us” by him
All of slug all of atmosphere
Wooden ships by atmosphere please
Kinda makes me laugh when you say Slug is a kid. I’m positive he is older than you lol
Flicker. He wrote it for his friend and label mate eyedea
Should react to “bigger pictures” by Atmosphere. It really speaks to our current day and age. The struggle we all go through, it seems.
