I heard this the day it came out also…was still going to high school…good time but I 100% remember even at that time his fan base was conflicted 50/50 almost…he technically was “changing” even when this song came out and he was getting criticism even then on how he was getting more famous and changing his still. To me it all made sense at that time…I feel like some of these songs that he put out during that time is what made him blow up a few years later…everything from the beat/lyrics was just getting more marketable and he sounded hungry. I kinda stopped following g after when it’s dark out…and that was around the time I started growing up and realized most of the topics he was talking about didn’t really align with my mindset at the time but I still always had older songs to go back to like luvaholic…some deeper songs on These thins happen like opportunity costs so on…songs during that period like achievement,running..so on. End of the day I can’t really be mad at g-easy because at the end of the day he still has a whole lot of music that I go back to and gives me a certain feeling that most new songs won’t give.
Everyone changes as a person through years including the experiences you go through.. even tho his style has changed through the years its still great quality music unlike other artists who just stop trying
It's truly insane. I remember being 17 years old working at Subway. Chilling with my boys, giving them free food, then heading out to random places at 10 PM after store close. We'd find ourselves at a random lake at 1 A.M, end up crashing at one of our parents places at 3 A.M., just to wake up around noon, and do it all again the next night. This version of G Eazy was always playing, regardless of the setting. I'd do anything to go back to that life for just one week.
@@PackerManForLifebro this is so crazy that I just randomly remembered this song and started reading comments and I came across what you just said 5 days ago, back when I was 16-18, those days with the boys out doing crazy shit late at night and we ALWAYS was bumping this old G in the background. I love coming back to these old songs because it takes me back to those times that I would do anything to go back to for one night. I swear all the music we used to listen to back then gives you a feeling that only you and your boys know from back then. Crazy how life goes on and everyone grows their own ways.
This is G’s best tune. I’m sorry but the instrumental is unbelievable and he just rips it apart, this is 6 years old and still gives me goosebumps. I remember getting the notification on soundcloud of G dropping this tune, same day he dropped this I heard it and I’ve loved it ever since, even can rap every lyric. This is a masterpiece.
I went to his concert and it was sold out and probably 30% of us knew all the songs, I didn't know 1 of them, but then everyone was singing You Got Me and MM&I
I checked him out. He's really good :o Been listening to some of his songs. I still like G-Eazy more, but i'm pretty sure i'll listen to NF alot :p (Thanks for recommending NF btw)
“So come back in 5 years and we can talk about achievement” .... “I'm in my own lane, run my own pace Chasing nobody marathon my own race I do it for the bay area that's home base” In an interview he mention 4th album it’s him returning everything to the bay. Soo, it’s been 5 years and the 4th album (home base) it’s almost out. That’s crazy!! He had a plan, announce it years ago and he did achieve it. That’s what I talk about speaking into existence!!
It's been almost seven years and man, have you come a long way. Probably won't get these days back but you was a part of it. You did that. You did it man 🙏🏽
Me and my friends at school have a group of like 4 friends who all listen to same music. One day i wore a nirvana t shirt and was listening to this song. I walk i to school and they ask what in listening too, i hand then one of my earbuds and met my new bestfriends. They've been with me through 8th grade and sunmer and now were goin through freshman year in highschool. Its amazing how music can help you meet your best friends. Thanks G-Eazy
That's pretty cool bro, my friends and I didn't become friends through music but we all like the same music and always talk about it, something that brings us all together. Still waiting to go to a concert together though
"i'm a new frame with flare and finesse, workin out so I can carry the west, i'm prepared for the test, and i'm ready after 5 sets, lift the whole bay with my biceps, caution if you try to follow my steps" Rawwwwww "i'm in my own land, run my own pace, chasin nobody marathon my own race, I do it for the bay area thats home base, they be tryna run next to us but there aint no space" Killin em, Replayed those two parts 10000 times
Seen G twice. First in 2013 and again in 2016. That 3 year gap.. damn. Music upped and so did the prices. For a reason..went from bumbershoot in Seattle to a sold out stadium. Amazing. Been following him for a while. He is even more huge now. Amazing.
This is quite possibly the greatest song by G-Eazy ever. Fried Rice, Blazing On A Sunny Afternoon, The Endless Summer, Waspy, and Why Thank You definitely come close, but something about this song is just.. unique and it's just is perfect from start to finish. Who cares if the beat isn't his. Hell.. Most of the songs from The Endless Summer aren't his beats but I consider that to be his best album. You haven't truly discovered G until you've heard this song. The lyrics to the beat to the flow to the fact that it blends all his styles is just perfect. Excellent song.
And if you ain’t listening to endless summer, or all of his old ep’s from when he was in New Orleans, you ain’t a day one. Hell I’ll be honest, I was in Oakland back in 05 and I bought one of his mixtapes “to support local hip hop” and I had no idea he’d ever get this big. I still bump that shit though. Y’all have no idea how proud I am of this legend.
This beat will forever be god tier and how G delivers his bars on this won’t be matched. Truly a timeless masterpiece this is how can it still slap after 10 years😮💨
It's been 5 years now and G has definitely achieved a lot. From a relatively smaller rapper in 2012 to a global pop sensation in 2019, Eazy has a come a long way over the course of the last 7 years. While I'm not a huge fan of the new style, I'll support G regardless. I know G worked extremely hard for this; so to him I say, congratulations. I'm sure I speak for myself and several other long time fans when wishing you longterm success in all of your future endeavors. Stay Eazy.
8 years later, and this is still one of his best songs.
agree with you
Fuck yes it is. This song still goes hard as fuck.
It’s on of his best beats thats why. You could have sexy redd rapping on this shit and it would still go hard
7 years later and this is still one of his best songs
all time check my recent vid lmao i made a vid with this like 3 years after it came out
and its still no on apple music or Spotify :C
Without a DOUBT. Probably his hardest. Tumblr girls something different too.
5 years later and we can talk about achievement.
same here
Who still bumpin this in 2024? (Had to edit it!)
me
real fans kno his older music
I just listen to it
here
Of course
Criminal that this still isn't on Spotify
Heard this when it first came out and randomly started thinking about it a few days ago. G-Eazy was so dope before blowing up and changing his music

Listen again
It has been 5 years. I think its time we can talk about achievement...
Slavery should be reinstated
It would be pretty cool if he made Achievement II like endless summer
He has shown achievement in the last 5 I think
Ohhhh yeah
Im late but its my day...and ill be back after 5years no matter what...

G shit. Old fans can appreciate all the eras he went through. I listened to the outsider today while working on cars
Agreed
@Jal Poz what’s the original bro I’ve been trying to remember all day but can’t remember?
@@brianhoey8819 Its from Shady 2.0 bro. :)
The dude is underrated. What more else to say
Dont like it then get off his channel
+LT. POTATO You idiot he wasn't insulting him
Original oh shit! Wrong dude sorry man
+Braden Rikli (BrayZap) How the fuck is he underrated? hes getting plenty attention...
+SteenSpinal4LIFE because he really isn't though he is only coming up with his 4th album the rest are mixtapes? he's been underground for a long time
I miss the old G-Eazy. His new music is just, not the same anymore.
Two types of G-Eazy fans:
1) the ones that listen to Me, Myself and I and think he's good
2) The ones that listen to all his music (endless summer)
I went to his concert and it was sold out and probably 30% of us knew all the songs, I didn't know 1 of them, but then everyone was singing You Got Me and MM&I
This is so true
Those who don't know about the "epidemic" LP should just gtfo of G Eazy's music
he got famous of Me Myself and I He was growing quick and this song put him on the top but I've been listing to G Eazy For about 4 Years already
and the Sikkis on the Planet lol
This instrumental nice as fuck.....
he makes all his beats
+o Vippy If only he made this beat haha :P
+Steven Sterzik yea I can't remember the song but ik this is from an older instrumental
the beat came from an old song called "tried by 12"
Yup, but tried by 12 sampled it from Sakura by Odetta, so technically that's the original :P
Damn exactly 5 years ago, This song is so nostalgic.
Right?
9 years now…. I remember being 13 just turned 23….:/
@@tayxbroc2885 damn you were a 9 year old with good taste. I was 21 :/
I've never been addicted to 1 artist. G IS MAKING ME CRAZY

same bro. I hope I can be as Good as him someday, so please if you don't mind, check out my music! you won't regret it :)
I checked him out. He's really good :o Been listening to some of his songs. I still like G-Eazy more, but i'm pretty sure i'll listen to NF alot :p (Thanks for recommending NF btw)

"So come back in 5 years and we will talk about achievement" ~ Well, I'm here and man you fucking blew up G.
It's only been 2 years.
feels like 5 man, gotta admit
can't imagine 3 years from now.....never seen such a hard working alcoholic...I mean...I try hard...cant compete hahahahahaha ...
12 years later and it still go hard
@@ImworriedImgettingspyedon when was this released? Like originally
This is his best song IMO.
its definitely up there
brad wilson Easy, take "Tried by 12" beat and itz easy
Sure, you take that beat and get 6 million views. Then come back to me and say it was easy for him.
Honestly feel the same way, man.
+brad Wilson At least give him 5 years to talk about achievements
So sad this ain’t on Spotify
💯💯💯💯

"If I say im never scared just know I mean it." and in that line, a hit song was born.
Aidan T Burke I read this comment as soon as he hit the line... I got the chills running down my spine...
Just know I REALLY mean it
this line was a reference to the hit song..
I Mean It came out first
Probably still one of the best beats I've heard. I wish G eazy was still rapping like his old ways
This beat is still one of my favorites after all these years. This song is a masterpiece.
which beat is it?
Always reminds me of the Halloween cypher with freddy kruger & the gang lol.
@@anujpadiyar672 it’s a sample of odetta’s “sakura”
@@anujpadiyar672 also a sample of tried by twelve by the east Flatbush project

let me know what ya think..
Man I remember seeing G Eazy in ABQ, NM my homie and I cranked this up so loud on our way back to the apartment only to party harder. Man time flies.
G eazy is fucking epic. he's underrated man. holy fuck
No he's like super famous and everyone likes him
+Jake well he's better than most A list rappers these days and he ain't A list yet
Lol how is he underrated he played at fucking coachella
Well, I'm from Spain and I'm listening to his songs.
He got really fucking big really quick.
“So come back in 5 years and we can talk about achievement” ....
“I'm in my own lane, run my own pace
Chasing nobody marathon my own race
I do it for the bay area that's home base”
In an interview he mention 4th album it’s him returning everything to the bay. Soo, it’s been 5 years and the 4th album (home base) it’s almost out.
That’s crazy!! He had a plan, announce it years ago and he did achieve it. That’s what I talk about speaking into existence!!
this is his best song still to this day.
Came back to listen to his to remind myself why i need to be successful
Facts
”one day you will see why I'm truly great"
This mans is the definition of greatness.
It's been almost seven years and man, have you come a long way. Probably won't get these days back but you was a part of it. You did that. You did it man 🙏🏽
this gotta be one of the more underrated songs of all time
I always seem to find myself coming back to this song every couple months
@@lewisrobinson1403 literally same for me man
@@lewisrobinson1403 Yep, same here. The lyrics stuck to me.
His style is so chill and deep that most of his songs wake you up into reality and make you think.

This song has been my #1 favorite song since it’s release. I actually have “Achievement” tattooed on my body
Hands down my favorite song from him, everything about it is just perfect. The instrumental, his delivery and that flow is so good.
“A garden full of flowers grew its way up thru the cement”
One of the hardest lines ever
Seen G twice. First in 2013 and again in 2016. That 3 year gap.. damn. Music upped and so did the prices. For a reason..went from bumbershoot in Seattle to a sold out stadium. Amazing. Been following him for a while. He is even more huge now. Amazing.
feeling those diablo vibes in the composition of this. pretty good though
G has only gotten better. No doubt, and ya he may have changed but for the good In my opinion
I'm not getting that vibe
pretty good.....u mean awesome n out of this world
Them diablo vibes :p
nawww
"come back in 5 years and talk to me about achievement" its been 2 and look at where g's at
4 now
ItsReaSz it’s been a crazy road
ItsReaSz can’t wait to talk to him about it. Imagine if he dropped a sequel to this song on that date 🤔
@@GamerscoreOfThrones that would be awsome for him to look back at that.
It’s been 4 n look how far he’s come 👏🏼
Miss you G... I know you ain’t gone but this g is
5 years later, and G is still my idol. You're an absolute legend man. One of the greats. Don't ever change.

Spotify removing this is a sin
This beat will forever be god tier and how G delivers his bars on this won’t be matched. Truly a timeless masterpiece this is how can it still slap after 10 years😮💨
will these track never be on spotify man these would be banger to play in car
So many good nostalgic memories every time I listen to this again.

Great memories
Life was better when this came out

this beat so damn fire, remember when Eminem murdered it on this with Slaughterhouse. G-Eazy underrated asf
That's one of my favorite cyphers

this a trip man. this beat has that bay area vibe.

This beat isn't NYC or Cali, it's kinda like Japanese 😂😂
yes it does
This is G's coldest track to date
It’s been 5 years and he’s been all over the world and has 3 platinum albums. What a damn G
one of my favorite songs of G-Eazy, the way he synchronized with the beat is magical.
I heard this song 3 years ago, then I saw a Tom Waits interview today. Now I’m hear again
Been looking for this for years and i randomly started humming this beat fucking crazy
It's been 5 years now and G has definitely achieved a lot. From a relatively smaller rapper in 2012 to a global pop sensation in 2019, Eazy has a come a long way over the course of the last 7 years. While I'm not a huge fan of the new style, I'll support G regardless. I know G worked extremely hard for this; so to him I say, congratulations. I'm sure I speak for myself and several other long time fans when wishing you longterm success in all of your future endeavors. Stay Eazy.
Don’t worry guys the me, myself and I fans won’t find us here
I found you 👹

Hope he releases more stuff like this again. the last freestyle he uploaded was so good too
9 years later, and this still hits most
