The flashbacks to Earl and Navy Blue as kids made me want to cry
They thrown that video back multiple times musta been good day in front of 7/11. Lmao
Deadass my man. Crazy to see how far they've come
Same
facts
@@TheSeaBase lol fr musta been sum fun lurking
The transition from them as kids to the present was so cold
on everything
Brought chills
😂
i just noticed this
huh
Wholesome to see Earl smile
he smiles all the time lol
No lie
@@Kay-zv3lr everyone acts like it’s still 2013 lol
@@drolx2102 did you listen to srs? lol
@@Srvtnc srs very happy
The way Earl and Navy trade off bars it’s like two best friends who can finish each other’s sentences seamlessly
It's cause they've been homies since they were young kids haha it's rad to see how far they've both come
Rare to see chemistry in the selfish divide and conquer era
@@montysimms6136 FACTS
Took the words out of my mouth. Thought the same thing
Styles and Jada vibes
if you come from having depression while listening to Some Rap Songs to getting good through time while listening to FEET OF CLAY to getting better and feeling that everything will keep improving for the better. Yeah this song hits you hard because you feel like you have been growing with Earl and every song that he drops will accompany you through your journey at life
❤️
!!
yh definitely
booba
You put it all into words. Thank you so much. This really how the timeline happened for me. Coming out of that murkiness and getting happier with Feet of Clay to this track and all the improvements I've made in myself since Some Rap Songs. Fuck, i'm speechless even now.
Getting Black Star vibes. A Navy Blue/Earl album would cleanse so many souls
It's what the culture needs! I'd even go as far as adding Mavi and MIKE; The Fab Four of hip-hop
faxz
@@theherbpuffer don’t be saying things. We not worthy smh
@@theherbpuffer at the very least MIKE needs a few features on there.
Hit the shower
So hyped to see Earl with a little hardness In his voice.
yooo true
bro straight tf up let’s go
Yup the articulation is preferred
yessir
Pause
These dudes grew musically physically and mentally love to see it
totally, and the video is a perfect embodiment of that. physically and spiritually showing their journey to maturity together.
i'd hope that they grew physically as time goes on lmao
@@jadenredd Ive done some research, and am 65% sure they have grown physically, maybe not though.
Same. It’s inspiring honestly not even being cliche
@@jadenredd 😂 😂
This song literally screams “we made it” and straight victory in a very triumphal way
you get it
"I want to go to Africa" so subtle yet so powerful
ong
Truly
🇿🇦
“Hi” so subtle yet so powerful
In what way?
Earl just has that goat presence now
On all my 4 rings he does
@@LeGM6 about to be 5

Facts spoken
Real MC
The Alchemist is one of the select few who can consistently drop and all of it be fuego! GIVE THIS MAN THE RESPECT HE DESERVES
@@dydinie1684 salame
Word UP!
He’s gotten a lot of respect. Grammy nominated multiple times and has been recognized by the best and worked with at the highest level in hip-hop. So what the fuck are you talking about? Did you just discover this man? His production on this track is great, to the point that it’s as expected but these 2 sherms makes this shit boring and monotonous. This has to be a filler song to some greater project. Earl is corny af. Cut your hair you bum, you’ll never grow a proper mustache and wtf is that beard? Who tf is navy blue? Some low end crip? gtfoh! I love this beat, hate these 2 dickheads.
@@fairhill2612 Get that hate out your heart
Fr all the way back from Covert Coupe with Curren$y
Music like this keeps the Villain alive. Thank you, men.
🙌🏻
💯
🤙🏾
Stop .... Just stop your putting tears in my eye. ..... I still miss him. Everything you say is true
👺👺
Earl and Navy just need to drop an album together, the chemistry is too much
This whole thing is the epitome of nostalgic.
Earl and Navy are such a strong duo. Alchemist is just the cherry on top.
i see you, but Al deserves more credit than that man
@@triplethraet fr ALC is such a dope producer
JUST the cherry?
@@newport2348 the run he’s on as a producer is unparalleled
Other way around
That flash back to them being kids at the same corner store is just golden
Word right
@@DiceB its dope cause i remember back when that video was posted on youtube, its still up to this day
man The Mint, Ghost, now Nobles, Earl x Navy never fails frfr
Don't forget ghost
@@chune4383 i really loved ghost
@@chune4383 he didn’t?
Accurate af
This is the worst song of the 3.. but it’s decent still.
“We the best till we good and gone”
Don’t even play with me like that earl.
From the bottom of my heart, how could a single soul thumbs down this masterpiece
Seriously
Alchemist never disappoints. Never.
Ever
I agree but I do wish this track had drums.
@@RjGTWO woulda ruined it... That Jon is perfect.
@@RjGTWO alchemist doesn’t seem to wanna do drums anymore. Lol
@@hadesBOLT Damn Im high af I didnt even realize it didnt have drums after hearing the whole song twice till I read that comment
Watching the Alchemist over the last 20 years has been like watching a wizard perfect his craft . The best producer in the game right now
Hes no longer a producer hes simply a alchemist
Facts 🐐
Him, Flying Lotus and Madlib
I like knxwledge
alan the chemist , was # 1 in my book since i first heard of him , guess my choice was mos definetly right.
I love it when two rappers both got lyrics and go back to back like this
Exactly!
Bro then I gotta put you on, look for videos of jazz artists having a musical conversation they trade every few bars and it’s crazy cool
@@Ian-bt8dz got a link?
it's so good to watch and listen for that
“Upstate 2 queens” by 38 spesh and kool g rap would be a good one to check out
Life’s sweet when you know the cost
Something about this song heals me.
Nah this back to back flow though 😫😫😫
Alchemist is working overtime this year and I've loved every track
Deadass
And last year he been on one. Credits on errthang
Me too
They crazy. This sounds like a straight classic from a past decade to me
for real. Insane how timeless it sounds
Yep
I need that ending on a loop, can't explain the emotion I feel but it's wonderful
Sure is!
sample for you cats ua-cam.com/video/iuPG_87T7xE/v-deo.html
Somebody tell me the sample
Man that edit at 1:12 really made me nostalgic. I grew up on Odd Future and remember watching their old skate videos. Crazy to see these two men evolve into the creative forces they are today
Turning 23 this summer. Shit hit hard
@@Pilzefresser I just turned 24 i’m right there with u. OF ruled my middle school/high school days lol
Yessir goin on 22, middle school OF era was the shit. I remember those days so fondly.
@@JoseRamirez-lo1pi no fn way I just stay and accept being weird cause of em
@@JoseRamirez-lo1pi hope you’re doin well homie, I had plenty of friends who didn’t graduate and they’re better than ever now.
Been telling y’all the day earl raps with some emotion it’s over for the entire rap game
😭it's funny how I understand this completely. SRS & FOC definitely lacked that extra vibe
@@bruhcomeon. nah SRS had emotion
Earl is literally the most emotional rapper tho what
@@trunklemcjeans exactly bro niggas acting like earl didn't make grief
@@blackwellsdiary yall know those unreleased joints hit on a different scale. Once earl can bring that to cdq, he's the best, no buts about in my very biased opinion. I think that's what he meant by emotion.
I turned 30 today (I guess yesterday now) and felt bummed cause I was thinking my youth officially Hit the exit.
My late teens to 20’s I grew up listening to OF and always got a sense of happiness from the crews creative growth.
I couldn’t be more hopeful and spiritually lifted for the future hearing this right now, this track is special. Thanks Earl, Blue and everybody’s pal, Al.
Still got so many years ahead of you.
Im 30 in August.
Rip old man...jk im 34 my life began at 30
Keep your physical wellness up and make sure to be able to keep on. Keep your condition up . Imagine the 60 yr old wishes to be you with the knowledge he has. Do the shit you been saying you want to do Frfr. I’m turning 25 myself in a couple days.
I turned 30 this year too, and I never felt more comfortable and confident in myself my teens and 20s was cool but this is when you really start to fully figure yourself out. Or at least you should.
The producer responsible for the most sleepless nights and career changes in others....The Alchemist
AMEN
Alchemist made Riff Raff sound like a fuckin lyrical genius on Bird on a Wire hahaha
@@FruitloopLeviathan I think Harry Fraud did the prod.
@@FruitloopLeviathan Preach my broda preach
@@L_oran ur right, fraud was on one at that time
"I do less before I stretch I hit the bar....pull up" god damn earl
This album is about to be on repeat for a while I can already tell
for a fucking while bro.
Navy Blue miming Earl's verse(s) is so wholesome!
but navy was rappin first
@@connection03 bra he talkin about 1:20
they both did it
I needed to hear some Earl today man
No cap
Facts
On g
Everyday I keep an eye out for Earl
Really hurting right now
Damn he doesn’t even need to drop drums in there - this dude is inspiring, ever evolving and got to be one of the best hip hop producers out there currently. Earl and Navy float back and forth on that incredible loop.
they really the true embodiment of success tho, they never settled for the money or fame. just kept doing them yanno
I wasn't even a part of the early OF days but damn, when it flashed back to him as a kid, that shit made me nostalgic for shit I shouldn't even be nostalgic over. Stoked for this new project.
It was definitely lightning in a bottle. But old skate clips remind of of a simpler time when it was just the boy's sipping Arizona teas skating in the driveway with music out the car kinda vibes
Yo it's Jackson burns
Hellos
i felt this
Oh mama 🥺
FOUND YOU
HELLO BANDSTAND
Sample guy
Do a vid for this project 🙌
@@acunacorporations In time 🤝
Wow, haven’t seen that clip of young Earl and Sage in quite some time
I really ask myself if Sage knows how privileged he is. Being a pro, growing up the way he did with skating, and with all that skating he got out of it well, being healthy, having creative friends like Earls and Alc, etc etc. It's insane.
MashaAllah. (Which means May god bless it for him).
This like the prequel to the Caliphate
if Navy was on Caliphate 👀
"I do less when I stretch 'fore I hit the bar" 🔥🔥
what does this mean brodie?
@@kuyandakala4623 don't prep, just do
What Brandon said but also in a literal sense, stretching before weightlifting exercise has shown a decrease in weight output
@@splatgeo ohhh shit Earl is one clever ass wordsmith
@@kuyandakala4623 doing less before he goes to the bar to drink so hes not sweaty after a workout
Seeing earl smile give me butterflies while he’s spitting some crazy spoken word
earl sound and look so happy man. love to see it.
navy blue rap like a ghost and earl raps like a spirit. if that makes sense. i love it
everyone knew that whoever let the sadness overtake him would sink
real life crying to how beautiful this is
EARL'S SMILE IS SO GENUINE.😭🥺❤️ MAKES ME TEAR UP
Update: crying bc the clip as kids
Omgggg they go back to back, and the old clip, and earl smiling.
I cant get enough of this song , every time i listen i discover peace inside me again. Al is the man 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Alc dedication to his craft is the last we are gonna see as far as diversity in sounds and rhythms and how deep one digs for them (talking vinyls from around the world from diff periods of time)
We are truly blessed to be in this lifetime
Al + Earl is always a guarantied classic
im so happy this music video is beautiful, i love this so much
Bruh earl is so good and alchemist production never misses this on repeat all day
i thought he was real dope wit doris, he kinda declined wit idlsidgo & srs. their not bad albums but they ain't up there wit doris really.
@@mysteriousgamer8941 I could see why someone who wouldn’t like them but srs>idlsidgo>Doris
@@NIGARID for u, arguably doris is earl's best work amongst heads.
@@mysteriousgamer8941 most earl fans hold srs as his best. Heads only care about lyrics, artists like earl or mike don't really fit a traditional framework for critique. You can make whatever value judgement you want but we have a distinct sound to connect to earl's current artistic sensibilities, a whole wave coming to be, and I don't imagine that sound appeals to most heads in the first place. I think they have limited authority here.
They sound so similar & the fact they grew up together is awesome!
The last 50 seconds, around 1:56 onwards, sounds so heavenly and I can’t describe it 😅
true poetry. every bar feels smooth to the ears
The way ALC was looking at the sunset with tht music playing shows how really great he even knows he is.
Navy Blue has BEEN that dude. He and Earl go way back.
Everyone knew that whoever let the sadness overtake him, would sink into the swamp.
Yessir!
You don't even know, that's the official word up in the town, ya heard?
1:11 damn this shot is crazy. nostalgia captured perfectly
This song feels like you’re having a coming of age story. Powerful shit mane.
Kinda is for many of us
the Sun Ra Sample made this track even more magical
Bruh when i heard the Sun Ra sample i flipped i just watched it last month too. The movie has never been more relevant..
@@thepervertedmonk2353 I also watched the movie recently it’s a timeless motion picture
Link to it?
Whats the sample?
Jazz is the key to all sounds
This song changed my life
“It’s the Music of the Earth, the music of the sun, and the stars, the music of yourselves vibrating, yes you are music too. You are all instruments, everyone supposed to be playing their part, in this vast Arkestra of the cosmos” - Sun Ra 🌞🚀
Its glad to see earl rapping about not selling his soul. DMX would be proud.
when did he do that
DMX has a album cover with him literally bathed in blood. He's rapped about selling his soul multiple times. I fuck with DMX but open your eyes.
@@thelistener2909 same pfp
What Earl verses are you listenin' to??
what are you talking bout big dawg
thousand yard stare I was lookin sauced 🔥
I've watched this so many times since the drop
Always come back to this 😤🔥😭
25 today and i’m finding power here
That never ending story snippet took me way back
facts! real nostalgia!
Thank you Hip-Hop.
Needed this to start my day off.
watched about like 46 or 47 times, this shit is a masterpiece both visual and musical.

That’s rookie numbers bro I’m at like 300*
@@mclovin9283 I know you're joking, but you probably shouldn't overplay good music. It might over time lose its shine
Shrek Junior I’ve played earls music over and over and still have the same reaction to his music. Trust bro this will never get old to me💯
@@mclovin9283 K, I'll trust you and indulge more into Earls music 👍
Had to come back, these dudes on a prophetic run 🤧
Dis that feel good music right here
The way earl come in is soo smooth. This song is pure art
This video deserves a grammy
Short quick but so meaning full and hAs that classic feel
I'ma cry or somethin' this is too beautiful
I shed a tear watching this shit earl smiling something different mannnnnn
TIP FOR THOSE OF THE REUPLOAD ON NOBLES:
When you finally hear Nobles on streaming services after being taken down without any reason (probably sample clearances, including the mention of The Beatles sample). It was actually the Sun Ra sample not being cleared, however, the Sun Ra dialogue is removed.
When these brothers link up what they create is amazing
20 years later and I've never heard a bad ALC beat. After Pete and Primo, ALC is cemented in my all time faves.
What about 4th Disciple That’s where Pharrell took that Kendrick beat frm and Pharrell took that grinding beat frm. Premier...kept tellin folks ..
the hope that this record is unashamedly forcing into my mind right now... not only the lyrics, but the instrumental ALONE is just uplifiting, defiant, triumphant even. Man, this project gonna be fire but this song, is special.
Stoney for sure. Thank y'all (Uncle Al, Earl & Navy Blue). The archive footage from teen/pre teen versions of them was a nice touch. Chef's kiss on this one.
I love Sage’s evolution man
The snow ascending looks dope.
The back to back lyrics, the music and these visuals. Unstoppable.
Earl, Sage, and Alchemist - the Holy Trinity of dopeness 🔥
d riders. assemble.
@@claymanclutcher Still hating on your own shit, Early man?
