Slug is my Favorite rapper hands down. Not only is he a great rapper but himself as a person is just so intriguing. Stories or not, his vocabulary and metaphors are scrumptious as all hell. Thanks for the video!
Have a awesome story w/ Slug in A2. A drunk guy sucker punched my boy during a B.Ali set. Slug saw it from the merch table and kicked him out. The guy tried fist fighting Slug outside and OneBeLo and Slug almost smashed dude. He stopped realizing he had a show to do. He tried getting us back in and the onlwner wouldnt allow it so he reached into his own pocket and gave us our money back. We ended up catching with the guy in a parking lot too. Told Dibbs about it at the next show. He remembered and laughed. That was always a stand out thing he did.
Crazy story, Slug is a really stand up guy I’ve been wanting to meet him since the end of 2014, I went to the fishing blues tour 2016 trying to get my portrait signed no luck but I did meet abstract rude he told me sum wise stuff about being an artist, I messaged slug he messaged bac sayin I’m not the most responsible dude but when I come to Cali I will sign it, so I held on to that outta no where my teacher hit up his friend blessed me wit VIP tickets and atmosphere was there, I tried again meeting him no luck but I did met the right people, and 2019 those people took me to his show and I finally met Slug, he was really genuine man, behind the music, he signed my portrait it felt like I knew him before and I did thru the music, and what makes it more insane is that months later he put me N his music video, It’s crazy I’m really thankful I appreciate/look up to that man, I hope our paths cross again
I met him at a show in Nashville, TN back in '18. The guy fist bumped me and actually took time to chat for a second. He's an extremely down to earth person.
I was bumping the song "yesterday" I got a couple of 12s in the back so everybody was listening to it. There's this man that sells sodas in the median section at the traffic light. He started dancing and then came over and gave me a free drink because of atmosphere. I love that guy and I love atmosphere.
Been a Slug and Ant fan for a hot minute! Their music (both lyrically and instrumentally) really helped me through the hardest times of my life and still help me get through daily life! Slug along with Aesop Rock and Murs got me interested in writing as well!
I remember hearing his music for the first time over a decade ago. I don’t know why I looked him up to see if I can find anything. But I’m happy I wasn’t the only one that hadn’t forgot about Slug and atmosphere
LETTY , i've just come across this interview and i have to say, it's the best interview i've seen my man Slug in . Awesome job! And something i can relate to ,is the fact that he said he wasn't a cool guy, like ever, but heard BR. Ally saying in an interview that Slug was the coolest man ever, since before he ever had any recognition ...And bloody hell if he isn't . F***ing role model .
ya know slug your too humble, your one of 2 artists/groups that i love every goddamn song even if i cant relate, your skills are insane and lyrics are always saying something that is meaningful....
Slug, I caught you in a bad moment in Stockholm last year and it's haunted me ever since... I didn't mean to disturb in an upset moment (girl before me seemed like a psycho sort of groupie?)... Really honored to get to talk to you though, and get a hug and a chance to chop it up about how dope the Epic Beard Men feature really was... Anyway, I've loved you for so many years and I never take it for granted to hear your perspective. Peace
He might not ever remember but he listened to one of my songs from a long time ago and I've always wanted Slug to hear more of my music... I haven't stopped creating work and it would be a dream come true for him to listen to more tracks ( I have plenty on this channel).
Lol, now I know what Lucy Ford was. OMFG. I think I studied this guy for most of my younger youth, so I don't blame myself, but, jesus, I'm so fucken happy to get into him again. Like he said, you dig it or you don't. Fan till I die baby.
Slug isn't a mc,dj,owner,he just plays one in hero mode(my opinion) he is a real person that uses his talents to be an artist! He is a artist give him a tuba and he will make something of it!
Slug don't ever think you can't write from another's perspective. Don't get caught up in political correctness. Those songs you wrote in that fashion are some of the dearest to my heart.
No album comes close to overcast and god loves ugly . Those are def the best two atmos has done imo. When life gives u lemons is also awesome and of course sevens travels. But yea overcast man
I want to go on record saying that I loved Mi Vida Local the moment it dropped. I bought the vinyl at a show in Seattle and I don't even own a record player.
Absolutely not dad rap,as fans we grow with the artist. If the artists isn't growing and we are then we won't get it, if we grow because of an artists wisdom even better! Slug is a true artist for growing, but still leave it vague (but complex) so anyone can relate! Outcast flexing 💪 life gives you lemons relationships, etc etc, beautiful music if you just listen to the artistry!
I never knew that's what the intro to fuck you Lucy was... Fuck you slug... It sounds like a train arriving at a station too... And I caught a lot of your Easter eggs in my day to wow
Atmosphere are my favorite group, and I fucking **hate** Drake - that comparison is whack It was a really good interview tho - maybe the best I've seen of Slug
Good stuff!! Followed slug for years hella dope talent!! How do I submit for you to interview me? I'm XHale, I'm an award winning rapper and producer and I'm just trying to network, create lasting relationships and change, and put great music out at the same time.
I get you! I’d like you to make a book because your life is valuable to me and you know people like us like to learn! Don’t worry I’ll pay! Also, will you ask for my hand! 🤣 I can cook any recipe but I’m a massage therapist! Never took my state test but they call me Mighty Mouse. I’m also Mad as a Hatter! And I think you’re a sexy dad! Oh, I also rap. But This isn’t to get promoted. I like to play. Facebook Melissa Billingsley Miss. Led
Slug is my Favorite rapper hands down. Not only is he a great rapper but himself as a person is just so intriguing. Stories or not, his vocabulary and metaphors are scrumptious as all hell. Thanks for the video!
Wordddd
Dead prez
Top 5 I think he's right after EMINEM to me.
No doubt. Slug’s words have helped me through the hardest times in my life. In my opinion, he is truly the king of lyricism.
Have a awesome story w/ Slug in A2.
A drunk guy sucker punched my boy during a B.Ali set. Slug saw it from the merch table and kicked him out. The guy tried fist fighting Slug outside and OneBeLo and Slug almost smashed dude.

That's crazy I have only seen them separate not as a group .
My dad knew Slug personally.
I met him at a show in Nashville, TN back in '18. The guy fist bumped me and actually took time to chat for a second. He's an extremely down to earth person.
I was bumping the song "yesterday"
I got a couple of 12s in the back so everybody was listening to it.
There's this man that sells sodas in the median section at the traffic light.
He started dancing and then came over and gave me a free drink because of atmosphere.
I love that guy and I love atmosphere.
“I’d like to see DOOM”... that hit different ..RIP
Got chills when I heard that
Great interview Letty! Much appreciated. Now if you could get Ant to do a solo interview that would be dope.
Oh god yes
Doom...
Rip
Yessss!
What a beautiful man inside out.
Been a Slug and Ant fan for a hot minute! Their music (both lyrically and instrumentally) really helped me through the hardest times of my life and still help me get through daily life! Slug along with Aesop Rock and Murs got me interested in writing as well!
Loved this
I remember hearing his music for the first time over a decade ago. I don’t know why I looked him up to see if I can find anything. But I’m happy I wasn’t the only one that hadn’t forgot about Slug and atmosphere
I've seen Atmosphere live 7 times.....with any luck I'll hopefully see him at least 7 more!
When he talked about not taking advantage of peoples stories made me realize how genuine and good of a guy slug is
LETTY , i've just come across this interview and i have to say, it's the best interview i've seen my man Slug in . Awesome job!

Slug= articulate rapper=
His Sun Shines on the Moon and reflects light...
Listening to his discography is like watching a man grow up
"High Standards, Low Expectations, that's just how I approach everything" Lmao The label head, I love you slug
ya know slug your too humble, your one of 2 artists/groups that i love every goddamn song even if i cant relate, your skills are insane and lyrics are always saying something that is meaningful....
Such great questions! I've been a fan of Atmosphere since 2002, and these questions are better than anything I could have asked.
Slug, I caught you in a bad moment in Stockholm last year and it's haunted me ever since... I didn't mean to disturb in an upset moment (girl before me seemed like a psycho sort of groupie?)... Really honored to get to talk to you though, and get a hug and a chance to chop it up about how dope the Epic Beard Men feature really was...

It's so good to see such a humble and gifted artist. You can tell he's grown
This man raised me through his elegant interviews and his intricate lyrics
Lol, now I know what Lucy Ford was. OMFG. I think I studied this guy for most of my younger youth, so I don't blame myself, but, jesus, I'm so fucken happy to get into him again. Like he said, you dig it or you don't. Fan till I die baby.
I love this guy
I grew up on atmosphere... I don’t know anyone else that listens lol I need better friends... I got my nephews on it tho.!
Hope you and Murs make it happen for that 25th anniversary!
Slug isn't a mc,dj,owner,he just plays one in hero mode(my opinion) he is a real person that uses his talents to be an artist! He is a artist give him a tuba and he will make something of it!
I'm subscribing to your channel --and I haven't even seen the video!!
Peace and love to you from South Gate, California!!
🤘😆🤘
"Never use my pen to hurt" is some shit to think on
Slug don't ever think you can't write from another's perspective. Don't get caught up in political correctness. Those songs you wrote in that fashion are some of the dearest to my heart.
One day we'll get Sluggo interview with good video&audio simultaneously

Has he not listened to "The story of O.J"....Jay-z was clearly trying to give advice on that song
Please never do a song with Drake
Absolutely....Drake is Straight garbage!
Is this a bot interviewing him?

Drake is wack...always has been...
