We decided the only way to do justice to a song with ten verses on it (counting the intro) was to have ten different directors for the video. We shot this video last weekend, one day before the x Infinity film premiere screening. We wanted to do our version of filmmaking summer camp. Welcome to the apocalypse.
Best rap ive heard in years keep doing dirt man love it
WATSKY! This is why you'll always be relevant.shit like this.thank you man all my favorite musicians on one song holy crap
Brilliant!
WATSKY! Hi
WATSKY! I been waiting for so long
The year is 2023… and this absolute MASTERPIECE still has nothing close to the amount of attention/love that it should..
I remember this song from a while ago and I heard it today and it still slaps
oh hey its this comment again
2024 no progress. Watsky's one big flaw is his songs get better on repeat, you can't pickup the whole story on one listen.
Yes, yes, and yes. 🥇
I wish Chinaka had more personal material, (music).
Marvel- Infinity war is the most ambitious crossover in history
Watsky- *raps fast with other people*
Check Dan Bulls 100 Rapper Fortnite rap...
Scott Miller no
@@shwm19 hahahaaa
@@kellyphillips561 Don't be mad he got 100 rappers in one video ;)
@@shwm19 most of the people in that video arent rappers, they're content creators that decided to join in, but there's still a decent amount of actual artists on that project
I like when Diggs is rapping and says “pull over” even though he’s the one driving, and Rafael just gives him this look lol
Well in Diggs verse he says "you'd better drive" and then in Nat's verse she says "Diggs in the driver and Raf in the back." So they probably had to make an adjustment for the video.
@@r-robertson-d that drove me crazy when I first heard it, I'm so happy they were able to figure a way around it for the video
Didn't you see how his eye rolled from the back of his head?
They screwed the poetry up
I knew there was an inconsistency with those two
I literally did not picture any of the other artists looking like that... I’m shook
Same 😂😂
Tatum Atkins same tbh. I only knew Chinaka Hodge and Dumbfoundead beforehand
I only knew Wax and Dumbfounded, and Chinaka Hodge is the only one who looked like I expected
Riiigght?!?!
Even Chinaka looked different.
0:28 - Watsky
1:11 - Dumbfoundead

Stormcloak Soldier thanks
Grieves is the shit
the directer on grieves' verse killed it. doper than any of grieves' own tracks, even.
Nile Rootz he is
Dude grieves sold the entire song for me I love his music
This is still exquisite in 2021 and has deserved way more attention than it has recieved.
bro yes
Honestly
2022!! ✌️🤘

After all these years, Watsky has finally aged from 15 to 16.

@@JeremiahFernandez What?
Since this album came out I've always wondered what a music video to this track would look like. Needless to say it blew my mind!
Frazer Kennedy holy shit, never seen another person with the same name.. Like with a Z
Sooo. Watsky ft. Everybody.. I like it. Justice was served.
This song and video is very under-rated.
I find the song very good, but feel like they could've made something much better for the video
Nicolas leroux yeah I agree
High art
Nicolas leroux
It would be better if they could get everyone on the same shooting days.
I'd just like to appreciate the lyricism here. The constant comedic back drop of robot-zombie-clowns and wild packs of North American beavers and Watsky's quest for a craving of garlic rolls. The way Flint Michigan is described as a wasteland _before_ the apocalypse and the constant dread of a dead world, deserts in Portland and winter coming in flames. Its all extremely good story telling and atmosphere that builds on it's self in a beautiful prose of improv. I especially love how it ends on a really poetic line that mirrors the beginning.
"A bum begged me for a bill he could borrow, babbling some shit about "there's still a *tomorrow* .""
"Maybe there’s survivors on the surface
in LeSabres working on *tomorrow* sipping red, red wine."
0:00 - 9:40 is my favorite part
OkayKaitlin omg me too
Same.
Hell yeah 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
True, true.
Yeah, that part is okay, but what about that ∞ - ∞ part?
Red Red Wine,
I dont wanna dieeee
I hum under
My breath as I fight death in the quiet depths of the bunker
That was tacky. Probably the only bad part of the song. Cringey
Aaron Abercrombie
Tacky and cringey why?
@@aaronabercrombie5031 i liked it
I sing that shit all the time. LoL
Anytime I see Dumbfoundead, Wax, Rafael Casal, Chinaka Hodge, Grieves, Adam Vida, and Daveed Diggs in the same video, I'm already hype.
Exquisite corpse, also known as exquisite cadaver (from the original French term cadavre exquis), is a method by which a collection of words or images is collectively assembled. Each collaborator adds to a composition in sequence, either by following a rule (e.g. "The adjective noun adverb verb the adjective noun." as in "The green duck sweetly sang the dreadful dirge.") or by being allowed to see only the end of what the previous person contributed.
Pants Onion thanks for the context, I was confused thinking “what the fuck are they on about?”
The Music is great and they all have great spittin skill but that story they were telling didn’t make a lot of sense
@@durzio9630 it makes mad sense to me...
I've waited my lifetime for this work of art and trust me when I say I'd wait a lifetime more
The moment when you realize that UA-cam rappers are more capable than the ones we hear on the radio....
Ty Hanson These aren't "UA-cam rappers" though...???
eh... at least they're not robot clowns
CapnHMCrunch Watsky and Wax started here.
because they actually try
This beat is sick. I'd kill for an instrumental.
I love Watksy but Rafael Casal deserves the whole world because he is straight up one of the most thoughtful lyricists with such a good flow. Mate it's so so sick
This song.
This album.
Oh, Watsky.
This isn't even low key good anymore, this is straight awesome.
This was an adventure.
Just realized Rafeal tells Daveed to give him his Jefferson robe!
Top 10 Anime Crossovers
Ique sub to me
gipp_ jr no
Ique why were you at the top of the last the vids I seen
james stevens it's a sign to sub to my channel :^)
Marvel avengers infinity war is the most insane crossover in history
Yoooo he did it fuckkkk
Samuel Bran he fuckin did it bro, with all of them
Really glad UA-cam brought me here
This.
This is the song ive been waiting for.
seriously, this is an absolute masterpiece.
Dude that's not a robot it's just Iggy azalea
SWIM619 oh shit quick hit her with some fuckin duck tape she came to sing rap and give us all some under cut fades
Low five beats transmitting telegraphic autotune. Help she's inside my head and I don't think I am immune!
yeah its so dope g-eazy is in it... (ill let myself out)
@@-_-Code-_- i thought so too 😔😔
@@lethalassassin1754
I about fell out of my chair over that line lol
Just saw Hamilton then listened to the soundtrack, I knew I'd heard Diggs voice somewhere, I'm happy it was in a Watsky Song.
When you are listening to your favorite Watsky track...AND YOU GET AMBUSHED BY AMERICA'S FAVORITE FIGHTING FRENCHMAN!!!
MiguellaGorilla this cracked me up 😂😂
LAFAYETTE *motorboat sounds in french*
I'm taking this horse by the reigns, making redcoats redder with bloodstains... and I'm never gonna stop until I make 'em drop and burn 'em up and scatter their remains...
Watch me engaging 'em, escaping 'em, enraging 'em... I go to France for more funds... I come back with more guns, and ships, and so the balance shifts...
But didn't he play Jefferson?
Sapply He played Lafayette AND Jefferson! :D Just like Oak played Mulligan and Madison, and Anthony played Laurens and Phillip Hamilton.
Every once in awhile I get obsessed with this video and watch it repeatedly, I wish there was a way to see how many times I've watched it lol
I kept imagining what this would look like as a music video. 3:20 is still my favorite verse.
ApartmentViews yes
Same here. Great story telling
So glad Rafa, Daveed and Chinaka made it on this one. (:
Sam Perez
Only 2 out of 3. You cannot possibly think Chinaka did anything but ruin this song.
@@roems6396 what a shit opinion.
@@roems6396 I 100% agree. Everyone else fucking killed it - I find myself wanting to skip past her part. Shitty rhymes, shitty flow and it goes on for longer than anyone else's for some stupid reason
I have been following you since “white kid raps fast” and I haven’t stopped listening since. But this is by FAR my favorite song. I love the video as well
Same
This is one of the best music videos for a song. It literally fits the definition of exquisite corpse, as does the song for that matter with the 10 verses & no chorus.
Clearly, this is a masterpiece.
is it just me or does it sound like when each person wrote their verse they only had the person before them to go off of so it feels like one of those stories where one person writes a paragraph then the next person writes one and so on until u have a complete story. This song is so creative and interesting, i love it soooo much!
Yeah!! If I remember right at all (I'm probably wrong lol), I think the song itself was a game of exquisite corpse! I've heard that George wrote the first verse and sent it to dumbfounded, where he wrote his verse going off of the first verse, then to the next artist and so on. Of course I'm not 100% sure on this, since it's been a while since I've addressed this, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong!
No, that's exactly it. I literally just decided to watch the video again after finding out that "exquisite corpse" is an actual art method creaed by the surrealist movement. So every collaborator contributes with their part after hearing the person before. Makes the song even cooler than it was before.
That's not quite "exactly it." Only because it's not the case that each collaborator "only had the person before them to go off." If each artist only had the previous artists' contribution, it would be a disjointed tangential word salad without the overall unifying themes that are present -but not necessarily readily apparent (it will *seem* more disjointed than it actually is, to some). What's less obvious, is that it is clear each artist on this track also understands important elements of the Surrealist movement itself -elements that go beyond the works of art created by them. (It's definitely worth also noting, that Surrealist Exquisite Corpses were at first wordplays, before they started playing with imagery.)
It wasn't that Watsky just had some political and "scorched earth" jokes in his head, and everyone followed suit. The dystopian, post-apocalyptic references are more subtle and even obscure from some of these artists, but each artist IS keeping to this theme consistently throughout.
In this track, each artist is speaking to that much larger cultural context the Surrealist Movement represents, rather than simply following suit with bananas after the first guy said orange, until they ended up with a bowl of fruit.
Better than UA-cam rewind
That's uhh. That's not really a hard thing to do anymore. When half of it is fidget spinners and rainbow water balloons...
anything is nowadays
Not a hard bar to top.
James Franklin that's not hard though
Does anyone else get a fuzzy feeling knowing Anna directed one of the verses? 💕
She was sitting across my seat at the LA premier, most of the time she was just sitting there whispering with her friend and drinking, she barely clapped, she walked out of the room a couple times, her and her friend were the only ones sitting down when he got a standing ovation :|
Man what a bitch haha. That blows.
Dude holy shit these verses are insane
The only person missing from this is Spose.
He needed to be in this for sure
And palmer squares
He's to busy smelling of cat piss and blunt wraps
Sonreal
Tech n9ne too
man ive always loved your creativity. this is better than i ever imagined. thank you, sir. really mean it.
When Wax comes in ❤❤❤
R and A hell yeah
The only reason I came for- WAX. DFD and Watsky can really rap tho too.
Ryan G I think Grieves had the best verse
Can't believe the thumbnail predicted Dimitrescu.
Watsky is honestly the best wordsmith out there....
Milan Linzy Close . Aesop Rock is king tho
Underappreciated next Eminem
Never have I ever clicked on something so fast. One of my favorite rap tracks of all time
yeah this song is amazing
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR A YEAR
Dude, easily the best collab ive listened to in YEARS... Every single one of them killed it.. #Dope
"Iggy's Chili Cheeks" has sat in my brain ever since I first heard this song lmao
Lol I wonder if she's seen this video. Her reaction 😂
Never have I ever clicked on a notification so goddamn fast
Henry Jonas same here bro
I stopped in the middle of rocket league to watch this
Been loving this song forever, glad they got a video out. Lil Dicky dropped a video for Pillow Talking not long ago. Check that one out.
I didn't ever think this would happen, but good job man.
red red wine, I dont want to die
who sang that part of the song
8:10 that's watsky
@@Fast-Pass oh shoot im so retarded!! xD
@@greyorenge7891 no you ain't , I just found this and I was amazed by all the artists but I didn't know who was who. I'm going through the comments putting names to faces and it's nice :)
Watsky goes and makes one of my favourite posse cuts of all time.
I didn’t know any of this existed until now
AND ITS AWSOME
*R E D R E D W I N E*
I D O N T W A N N A D I I I I I I E
I'd love to see a live version of this
I get SCP When Day Breaks vibes with the whole red sky.
Never 9:40 minutes passed so fast. Incredible.
The only thing on my Christmas List came early!
Christmas must have sucked for you then.
coming back to this song, Adam Vida’s verse is so damn good. just really tight and good story telling and imagination. and he’s like the only person on this track i hasnt heard of
So fun to rap along with Watsky. I always forget how talented he is untill I try to repeat his lines. He is one of the most talented of all time.
I was telling my friend yesterday that I'd give anything to see a music video for this song and this morning, he sent me the link. Dreams do come true.
AHHHHH DAVEED DIGS!!!!!!!!!
That's, that D12 sound, nice boys 👌
Every single person delivered hard on this song!
Why did I not recognize Daveed Diggs' voice until now?!?!
Sequoia Seldon Same!
I mean no offense here, but how do you mistake that voice?
whoa
whoa
whoa
what d'you take us for?
Alright you guys are awesome :D But seriously, Whoa was my reaction.
whoa
'''''''''''''''''''i'm not of your generation, so I can't really understand where you're coming from. That being said, I thought this to be one of the most amazing examples of visual poetry that I have ever seen. The pattern, or tempo, or whatever its called, is complex but easy to get. It's lyrically gripping; a poetic coyote jumping up and biting my middle-aged ass. Visually gripping and overbearing all at once. From this I take away 2 important things: 1, I know little about the future. 2, It's not going to be as dark as portrayed in this video as long as there are people making videos like this. But I'm as smart as a box of rocks, so take it for all it's worth.
Geoff Bucher made my day mate well said
Geoff Bucher i love you geoff
As a member of a much younger generation (Gen Z) I can say, as long as my generation has people who are as open-minded as you to look up to, we can make a great future for our children^^
Geoff Bucher, I also love you. "Welcome to the Family!"
Good to hear Brad Wolfe laying down some bars on the sacred timeline! Just now realized Rafael Casal was on this track 🤣
PLEASE start touring more and come to Ohio. It's my DREAM to feed my soul with your beautiful music live.
At least he lives in the same country as you, he needs to come to Australia
Aqua. Lemon Same country, but still so far away.😕 I've always wanted to go to Australia too. Maybe he'll tour there one day.
BreeInRealLife, I hope so, he did in 2014 I think, but I missed it😭
Seen him 4 time and can say he has one of if not the best live artists ever. Saw him in St Pete back in 2014 with Anderson Paak and it was the best show Ive ever seen. Period.
Id love for him to come to Ohio is be buying myself a ticket in a heart beat. Ive been with him since he did pale kid raps fast.
So this is what Jefferson has been doing in Monticello
Hi
LMAO
**wheeze**
Finally another Hamilton fan
Jaylee Gale ah yes I see you are a man of culture as well
Virgo season babyyy!!! Happy early birthday George. My birthday is the day before yours.
Man I'm glad you got Wax for this song. I love dat Foo'. (And of course he would be the one brewing booze)
I swear watsky dissed iggy like 20 times in just 2 verses lol
That's Rafael Casal lmao, they all wrote their own lyrics
@@floppypotter3941 well, I mean. Some sound like disses. But if you conscientiously put your face near her butt, is it really a diss?

Nice job stealing a comment 👍
The fact that they got the actress that played Scarlett and one of the witches in the onyx video is great. Tybee is awesome.
Red red red red red red red wine
There will never be a cinematic moment more perfect than Nak's face when she's rapping about repopulating humanity with Diggs and Rafa. #ewwwwww
Truth
That. XD
Why did Watsky's 2nd part catch me off guard? 😂
For a second there I didn't recognize that voice or face
7:16 lol Rafa looks like he’s having fun
8:09 has always haunted me! Soo every now & then I come back to this! I don’t wanna diiieee! LOL 😂
3:19 one of the most cohesive and linear verses i’ve ever heard it’s extremely visual
OH MY GOD HYPE
Watsky is a genius as well as every artist involved but my goodness this man has awaken a light in me I'll never unsee. Thank you George for your lyrical genius and your inspirational ideals. I remember hugging you at Auburn hill warped tour years back I remember seeing you name on the show time board and the tsunami of excitement that spawned in that moment. I remember you taking my phone mid performance even tho it wasnt recording. You are a great person with a beautiful soul. Never change who you are.
Sincerely,
A loving fan.
Wow, I really like this, and Chinaka Hodge, how gorgeous and I love her voice.
YES GEORGE
I never knew what any of the other rappers looked like except Nak and Watsky lmao it’s wild to finally see what they all look like
I just heard "Let me borrow your Jefferson robe bro." This track is amazing! Every time I hear it, it gets better and better.
I WOULD CRAWL ALL AROUND THE WORLD FOR THOSE GARLIC ROLES!!
How the hell did you make something so fucking incredible. This is an instant classic
That fast rap parts though 😍😍😍
Grieves!! Shout out from the 970!!
This is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time 🔥 🔥 🔥
Yes!! I’ve been waiting for this one!!
I don't know what i would've done without this music video. This is the song and music video that got me into hip hop and I couldn't be even more thankful
If you like this look up watsky sloppy seconds
Man listened from front to back this song scratches a lot of my itches.
Beautiful beast of a song.
I love Wax's part on this.
Amazing. Awesome. Exquisite.
He's so handsome it bothers me lol how can someone he so awesome and cute?
I never even realized this song was this long. It’s so good it goes by like nothing.
