2024 who’s here??
Awake and alive...but at what cost
Aye man it’s classic
Everyday
✌️
Much love from Ohio, gotta revisit fbz occasionally ❤
Wish I could go back to my 17 year old self an listen to this for the first time again. 24 years old now, this song has the biggest nostalgic tie of any song I know. Me an the boys back then would have this on repeat. Now it's just a distant memory. Thank you flatbush ❤
I’m 27 brother and I feel yah lol, the cool thing is we got so much left to see and hear
NAH FR MAN 🔥
Im 17 listening for the first time now haha
I’m 28 now been listening to Flatbush since I was 15! Miss those days man! My homies and I all discovered the whole BeastCoast movement together and we will share that for the rest of our lives! Glad to hear some more nostalgia here in 2024! 47shit!
Bro I feel u, this song among others represents exactly the same for me, also a 17 year old at the time
Shout out to my 14 Year old self in 2014 Listening to pro era, flatbush zombies, and the underachievers at such a young age. Felt more enlightened then than now.
Edit* Never thought so many people would relate but hope yall are living your best life
feel exactly like this
thats what i be saying, would not be the same dude i am today without this music man. shits crazy
felt this heavy
@@Aeoniik welcome back, always nice seeing people on the comments
I wish I had the beastcoast in my life when I was your age, but then again I found them during a time were me and my crew were living what they were rappin, 30 now, calmed down.
Who else still comes back to this song for a therapy session?
This song is hands down one of the greatest songs in HIP HOP history. Every detail of this song is so powerful the psychedelic vibes
So true
out of body no doubt
It’s trippy for sure... lotta their shits like that. I love it. It’s organic feeling.
Facts it’s one of the most beautiful songs for hip hop. altogether this is a piece of art at its finest
447 likes mane i can’t like it
This song brings so many emotions and views. It's one of the most beautiful pieces of art I've ever heard. A Love letter to the stars
One of the greatest songs ever fr ❤
Such a masterpiece
I come back to this track - especially in sentimental moments - a couple times a year and cherish every single second. This will forever be in my top 10.
People will either think you're sad or depressed when you might just vibe to this. Though this song fits many moods from hype to sad
The OGs remember this throwback. Shoutout to anyone coming to this now, enjoy this fine seasoning and soundtrack to your life.
deadass this is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.
your word
Was just bout to say the same
Fact
Deadass b
Lazcano it hits the soul dude
You hear when Issa Gold said palm trees, the clap from the beat of Palm Trees started playing. #genius
holy shit!! youre too savage for even noticing that
MTCTV is that good? lol
Brian Gonser yes haha you have a good ear
The clap occurred several times in the song haha I doubt they tried that
MTCTV 3:15. Game over. Give up street rat.
Checking in. I’m 24 now, it used to be so hard, and today it still can feel so low.
This song does the same thing for me today that it had when I was 17.
I took some more hits in this life, and made some more mistakes, but I’m glad to be alive.
Just turned 25 buddy but I feel that.
Many trips taken to this song, taken some blows lost a lot of people but I'm still out here grinding.
Hope everything is alright man.
The strongest people aren’t the one’s who never fall down. They’re the one’s who get up the most times after falling down. KEEP GOING
We still here. 26 and struggling. I came back to the music of my youth. 14,15,16 years old listening to beast coast and I can’t believe I felt so enlightened then. Lots have happened in the last 10+ years and it’s nice to feel grounded from these songs
Felt this
29 and holy fuck I’m just here now yearning to break out of the usual still. Keep your creative side and prosper
"How could a n**** do his homework when his moms on crack"
I feel that
Don't lie you doing the crack
"How can I produce a record that be equal to that"
Ayee this real sta8 from the gutter
foreal straight speaking facts
Ya moms was on crack?
Could we get a CLOCKWORK INDIGO 2.....I think it's time zombies and underachievers
i liked escape from newyork but i agree. we need UA and FBZ to bless us with another tape
Facts
One that gets on Spotify 😄
Let's gooo
I SECOND THIS!!
5+ years I've listened to this, accidentally come back to it every 6 months or so and it's still like I've heard it for the first time.
Just found it so I’ve been listening to it every hour, too fuckin good
Yep
Facts
🧢
Facts bruv
“Why are we moving backwards?
Mentally we’re still in shackles”
This song is all around phenomenal. Still gives me chills years later
This makes me cry because I remember when I first heard it
The way the beat switches up when Issa goes in.... bruh!
How the Flatbush zombies represent life ua-cam.com/video/D44fkZXaQJ4/v-deo.html
the beat switches for every single one of them
The fact that people are arguing about which rapper is better is a testament to how good they all are.
They are all on the same level of greatness (except Issa still needs work cause he's new compared to the rest,) they just have unique styles.
Josh Schulz I think his verse on this was better than some of his verses on The Cellar Door but like you said he needs work.
Issa now though
Hes proved himself
No argument can be done they are all perfect in their sounds, no group better
No its a narcissistic demoralised millenial generation of internet gangstalking trolls looking for a endorphine hit via the feedback loop of annoying any and everyone in the hope of a response so that faceless masquerader can prove how right they are about all subjects known to exist in the universe and they are the only one who knows it..therefore theyre better and more correct than you.
almost 7yrs later, this song is just as strong
[Verse 1: Erick Arc Elliott]
Before the tours have filled the calendar
I was in Brooklyn, smokin' Cali bud
And I accepted rap, eyes red from that
5 AM flights, eyes red from that
Mr. wouldn't cop the white one if it came in black
Frequent 30 cities while you're witnessin' my chicken scratch
Type of shallow nigga, fuck and give your lady back
Constructed in the lab, Flatbush where they raised me at
Now I lost some friends, but fuck it we don't need 'em
We barely friends before and we don't talk for different reasons
Mom's all sad, pops gon' snap
Make some difference in this world before your mind goes black
How can a nigga do his homework when his mom's on crack?
How can I produce a record that be equal to that?
Every time I play some new shit, I'm just thinking it's whack
My motivation for the youth is how we bringin' it back
[Verse 2: Zombie Juice]
Bringin' it back, bringin' it back (here we go again)
Been waitin' so long it’s like they use to that crap
Hip-Hop been my life, I'm just used to the facts
Sellin' dope not an option, ain't new to the trap
Faggot niggas wanted the fame, they used to the back
My niggas boardin' a plane, Insta vid that
I'm confident as ever, my tolerance is low
For hatin' mothafucker's doubtin' me like I ain't dope
Crack, say the word chap, I leave a skull cap
Morbid with the four fifth and the boss pit
Torture, hot, burn it, like a perm quick
My melodies is heaven sent, y'all ain't heard shit
[Verse 3: Issa Gold]
Old days, back before the rappin' and my aura swankin'
Youthful savage, used to dream of passion, now we make it happen
Rap disasters, overlord to rappin' actors, hustling talents
Spittin' average 'til my kin descended upon this planet
Rare to see, Sirius Star B, I'm a Star Seed
My light-beam across the nation, changin' tastes, unitin' races
Higher placement, laugh at basic, 90 angel, tempt to Satan
Blend it up, equal greatness, rock the podium with my statements
I'm the thirteenth king raised up out the monarchy
Palm trees, roll it up, dedicate it to my sovereignty
Fuck this separation shit is tasters, we one entity
Like a bunch of shit stirred in the pot but still one recipe
Indigo the leaders, puttin' the youth through trainin', nigga
Never thought we would make it, now we unpluggin' it from the matrix
Spit iconic, Issa Gold, the proper way, the youthful conscious
Truth won't stop us, my light stream shinin', blockin' out they nonsense
[Verse 4: AK]
Brooklyn born and raised, some say we free, some say we caged
But they hold the key to change they ways
But mind be sleep, they mental slate
You not in my league, I see through the great
Cut the pot then I leap through the ashes and came
I go crying in the corner with immaculate brains
Hold up, I'm beast and I cannot be tamed
Remember when we were starvin', dreams was tarnished
Hoping one day we'd be ballin', ain't that all us?
Now we done it, use your brain and never forfeit
Now I talk how I'm livin' with conscious
Good intentions, flawless karma
And this mission keeps us stronger
Fight for the day we be peaceful and honest
[Bridge: Meechy Darko]
I would die for every single nigga on this track, hol' up
It's only right that we bring it back
I done died for every single nigga on this track, hol' up
It's only uh- that we bring it uh-uh
[Verse 5: Meechy Darko]
I'm destined for damnation, need to let out frustration
So I threw a Molotov at the nearest police station
Tell the reaper that I'm waitin', shit, Hell would be a vacation
At least I won't need a lighter to spark up them Cali flavors
The point is to read the book and burn the chapters after
Why are we moving backwards? Mentally we still in shackles
Our life, it like sand castles, we are not built to last
But if we pack together close enough, the weather, we would stand
One day, I'll have a queen and she won't need no weddin' band
The weight of the world I benchpress, no flexin' for the 'Gram
The man that travels many lands withstands and you can't understand
Your standards, I am over them, feel like I am petroleum
The chosen one, my tongue's a sword for ya, I brought my loaded gun
I got this ongoin' battle with this shit, de-pression
The pressure is buildin' up but fuck it I ain't givin' up
And even if I did, so what?
Legend
*”TIME WE WASTE IN THIS WADING PLACE SO BUTTERFLY AWAY!”*
This shit gave me the chills, man.
I got em right before I read this comment.
this track was just flawless.
hahaa did u see the lyrics yet?
topdropspot.com/clockwork-indigo-butterfly-effect-lyrics/
New Kidd25 Good intentions, flawless karma
Nice photo, mick jenkins joint is sick
I promise you, Darko's verse is one of the greatest I've ever heard...
Most definitely
Truuu
It really is
I prefer Issa's verse
Our life, it like sand castles, we are not built to last
But if we pack together close enough, the weather, we would stand
i’m 27 now. and wow the nostalgia this song holds is unparalleled. love y’all
man, this song makes me happy and sad.. 2014 was a good fucking time man.. im grown now.. if only we knew those were the times.
Big facts 2013-2015 were the best times of my life .
Strait up, gotta live up every moment
In 5 years you’ll look back at where you are now. And think similar
Somehow it still seems like yesterday....
Erick fuckin destroyed this shit, with not only his verse, but yo this beat is beautiful.
I just want Pro Era, A$AP Mob and Clockwork Indigo to make one legendary track together and then I can die a happy man.
does that conclude the flatbush zombies
jay pichardo since FBZ are 3/5 of Clockwork Indigo, yeah id say that includes them.
Pro era and clockwork indigo are almost one in the same. And naw. Asap is a completely different style of rap. Wouldnt be good imo
forget about asap bra, they've got nothing to hype..
CHRIS SMITH I agree, theyre lyrics arent deep at all, they are just spreading negativity and hate
Listened To this song at a 14 I couldn’t process what I was listening to thank u fbz for exposing me to spirituality at a young age forever changed my perspective on the earth and the humans that I come across
Every time I listen to this song my heart starts beating so fast and I get a feeling that I can't even describe... it evokes so much emotion and moves me so much, especially the ending note.
That shit hits so different every time you listen too this song and rethink every moment that happen in that time period I reminisce about old times especially in middle school
Honestly love Juice's verse. Everyone sleeps on him and don't realize this man has SOOO many flows.
xXxDROD96xXx issa gold tho
47th like
xXxDROD96xXx exactly thank you👌
Juice rode this beat
Agreed ✊
"LET ME HIT THAT WEED!" - I have that stuck in my head for a week.
"HERE WE GO AGAIN"
How the Flatbush zombies represent life ua-cam.com/video/D44fkZXaQJ4/v-deo.html
years ago... this song....you all changed my life forever
I will never forget the bong sesh I was in when I first heard you guys. Before everyone went crazy over the laced odyssey I was smoking snaps in a dingy basement listening to Amerikkkan, Kids on LSD, palm trees, and thug waffle before we finished throwing down.
Can never go wrong with the Beast Coast
Hey JaySTEEZ wassup, i see you everywhere, you have a GREAT taste in music
Bradley Romeus lol thanks, bro
Hey i seen you on bobby smurda hot nigga advertising good shit but FUCK YOU!!!!lol
Jay STEEZ been sick with this diction, I learned half these words in fifth grade detention
Clint Eastwood a problem child in the smartest class
Anybody else imagining the aftermath of a devastating bomb as the smoke clears off or even imagining the Twin Towers dropping over this beat? I can't really explain it, but this beat is somewhat dark, yet beautiful...
This is like some rising from the ashes type shit.
+Tha Swami I feel you, I think that was the intent
the feds watching
It's like lyrics to "Ring Around The Rosey" in a way. Soo innocent with the whistling yet can placed over a destructive incident and turn it into something beautiful. Kinda like the symphony used in V for Vendetta
I see people rapping as they carry out harsh lives and each person represents a different struggle. Then, when they start singing together, it's the dead versions of some of them and children walking out of the ashes together with this woman of purity and symbolizes a wish for a better world and there's hope in the children of tomorrow. that's me tho
I come back to all these old tracks every time i feel down, and it takes me right back to finishing highschool 🖤 this era holds a very special place to me and i will treasure that feeling everytime! You know those song's that mean so much you only play when you need them 🖤 big love to all my INDIGOS 💜
Bro this doesn't feel like a 7 minutes song at all, that's how fucking good it is
Been listening to this song weekly since my junior year of high school. Now entering my junior year of college with my tuition paid entirely from scholarships. This song, and the other discography of Flatbush and the Underachievers helped me find the extra motivation during those late nights 🙏
This beat is a major testament to Erick’s insane production skills mannnn beautiful
This song will never be over played.
“the point is to read the book and burn the chapters after” meech on a whole other level
Holy shit that instrumental...
Amazing!
Doves - Snowden
FINESSE , hell yeah, thank you
youre right but this is obvi erick's beat with all the additions. both beautiful.
LaRusso Just wish the crackle sounds weren't there, ruins a beautiful song for me
they should make a 20min track with everyone of beast coast working together
Thatd be 2 raw
wish steez was still there
Listen to my jeep
TMHZE R.I.P
That would be a fuckin dream!!! My Jeep honestly didn't do the whole collective justice.. It was still fire tho
pro era, flatbush zombies and the underachievers high school wake and bake sessions damn miss em
Shoutout indigo gang! Named my firstborn after this music means so much to me now it’s 2023 life is beautiful and wild I beg you all to live it
Issa's verse almost made me cry so beautiful and inspiring
Charisma the guy doesn’t even like rapping just has to get his message out I think he wrote a book
One of the best produced songs I've ever heard. Erick is def the best producer rn
DJ Smokey holds the title for best producer in the underground rap game
idk i dont think he competes with clams casino or flying lotus but yeah his shit is hot
(i'm pretty dope myself soundcloud.com/ebbsbeats)
These guys dropping the OGs on Spotify this week brought me back here to reminisce on the master piece that is clockwork indigo. This will forever and always be homage to what great music and great minds can be together.
This song doesnt even feel old
This my favorite thing that both the Zombies and Underachievers have put out. Perfect track. Deep shit, and that beat is so fuckin moving
your putting out
So, we're going to get an album of Flatbush Zombies with The Underachievers ?
But..but, it's not Christmas !?
They're doing a tour with each other but I don't know about the album but it'd be dope
Pretty sure they are. They always talked about a project before Their next mixtape and Phil said he needs to work on he cover art for Clockwork Indigo.
Probably but It's also promotion for the tour there on with UA
It's both a tour and a mixtape. They announced it last month.
Yo wen is that mixtape droppin?
"Our life, it like sand castles, we are not built to last
But if we pack together close enough, the weather, we would stand"
These two lines give me chills. This song is a piece of history already.
I will forever love this song from the day I first heard it until my last breath. It still breathes every emotion through me. Meechy kills it.
i remember hearing this song for the 1st time at around 3:45 a.m. while in houston Texas sitting outside my sister's apartment 4 min. after hearing that my uncle had gotten into a car accident.......Safe to say this song is a staple in my life now.
AJ!zzL3D bless up homie
your uncle good?
AJ!zzL3D
last year my friend who is dead now due to a heroin od showed me palm trees whem we were smoking and this whole genre changed my life. i love flatbush and UA
The Blue Turret Learn to read
The Blue Turret you are not smart
imma need everyone in Clockwork Indigo to be in next years Freshman issue, these dudes are some of the best emcees in contemporary hip hop, they need way more attention bruh, its long overdue
Xxl freshman don't do groups if they create enough buzz with there solo works then it should be no problem
enrique mendoza i never knew this, they should change that rule because all these dudes deserve it no matter what
"Never took an L, still fresh without the double x" erick
Fuck xxl
josh yepez yeah i've listened to that line several times but don't you think that these guys should be so much bigger than they are now? I'm just saying I want them to be put on a platform that will get them an insane amount of attention because they deserve it. These guys should be running rap, not people like Drake and Rick Ross.
rcl671 hey man, I know what you mean, but the masses aren't ready for good ass music like fbz. They probably never will, all people want are bangers and songs that don't make any sense, but have "sick beats". I've shown people fbz and they say it sucks, yet listen to lifesyle and love it. Its just how it is
Remember bumping this smoking blunts At 13-14 now I’m listening at 20 time goes by fast
I was 20 years old best times of my life now 27 still blessed to be living . Life does goes by fast my friend.
@@felix3033 to damn fast
The universe is great sometimes. Thank you.
Some of the best MC's left
Do you still think that?
Adam Babcock of course
So psyched for this!!!!
Bruhhhhh yesss Love u Anthony!!!!!!!!
Anthony Darktano
When are you dropping your Mixtape?
BRUHHH
BRUUUUUUUUH
only the real ones still bumpin this is 2022
2019 and we still here!! Listening to the knowledge that will awaken us!!!
Flatbush Zombies and The Underachievers !
BEST IDEA EVER!
2023 and we're still going at it, for everyone who listens to this masterpiece to live for ever
This is back when I first started tripping acid. Truly uplifting vibes and messages from these beautiful souls. Timeless work, it'll still bang in 1000 years. Echos of the pharaohs
ButterFly Effect and OMEGAH RED feat. MF DOOM and RZA - Books of War have a special place among the songs of perfection. These two songs ended up being more than just another track by some killer artists but something that holds meaning and feeling with just the melody alone. Let alone the bars being spit. This gold will live for ever!! Thank YOU FBZ and UA!!!!
Damn, Erick's stepped his game up... I'll be bumpin this joint for a while 😉 lol
calm down dude.. ^ its good music just jam to it and chill..
Yeah it is but people acting like Erick wasnt good before and was ass
Shut the fuck up you plastic ass fan.. Where do you see in my comment, "Erick wasn't good before this." I've been listening to the zombies since d.r.u.g.s dropped and I've happened to notice that every member of the fbz (especially erick) have really improved since then.. Am I not allowed to point out/congratulate erick on that? Sit the fuck down kid
And just so your bitch ass knows, 222 is my 4th favourite song that ANYBODY in the beastcoast has released. So stop assuming shit
Karan Saxena Ericks been a beast of the bars. Anybody thats heard all of Ericks solo shit knows whats up.
The slight change of the beat & inclusion of the whistle was perfect for Issa's verse.
"I'm the 13th king raised up out the monarchy, Palm Trees, roll it up, dedicate it to my sovereignty" 🔥🔥🔥
Now the decade is coming to a close we can officially say this was the most beautiful track in the past 10 years
My greatest Flatbush discovery so far
Issa murdered this shit on the low
When I hear this beat I actually imagine that smoke cloud in the back moving like the aftermath of a bomb being dropped
More like when this droped
then take tabs and watch the cover and listen, it is life changing
take shrooms they do move 😂
Branden Long take a few tabs then look at it
Branden Long like after the apocalypse type beat
This is that corner of UA-cam where I rest...
I just keep on coming back to this track after all these years!!! You know how amazing it truly is when you show this to your friends while all of you getting high af and they all look at each other like this might be one of the best experiences ever in the music history. None of them used to listen to this type of music, but i think it was the beat switch by the ending that hooked them up.🔥🌴🌬💨
Wish i could go back to the days kickin it with all the homies at the park skating and smoking while Bumpin flatbush, those were the good days
This is pure genius.
this is pure Love
How the Flatbush zombies represent life ua-cam.com/video/D44fkZXaQJ4/v-deo.html
that last verse was deep holy shit, gave me goose bumps
maximillian schauer Me Too Wtf?
@AshTheFlash100 man meechy Darko that that and really carried it. It's deep, dark, but insightful
I’m so lucky I got see clock work indigo on tour. One of the most underrated eps
Saw them in Chicago and every time I hear this EP it's like the past seven years gets peeled away and I'm 21 again. It's a wild feeling.
Seeing this song live completed my life
Yooo when did you see them?? I'm going to see them for first time at the freek show in LA on Oct 27th, IM HYPER ASFF!!!!
the most dope song I've heard in my life
I listen to it everday.
Am I the only person who has been listening to this song for 3hr straight ?
Yeah, most of us are on 8+
All these years later and AK's part where he's saying "remember when we was starving dreams was tarnished hoping one day we'd be ballin" gives me chills man. Clockwork Indigo NEEDS to make more music. They're so filthy with it.
These guys really know how to write words that just dig under your skin, and it just resonates. Every track from these guys is timeless
Most important line in this song is "Make some difference in this world before you're mind goes black". I think about that shit everyday.
Hit me hard
Shit made me tear up. One of my favorites.
Nah
Need a tissue?
One of the most unique and beautiful hip-hop songs of all time
You can't change my mind
And just like that, I’m 16 in my homies room, smoking weed and skipping school. Bless.
I hope you don't regret this when you're older as I did...
This is Godlike. If they drop a full album I think the dead will rise.
Already did, they made the track :P
25 now. This brings me back. I ❤ you Flatbush
saaaaame. This is a banger
Who else is listening to this during the Coronavirus quarantine
work of art
yerrrrrrrrr
🔥
yessir
We are ascending brother. Ride the wave by embracing yourself and your true nature. Give up fear for love and the universe will have your back. Life is ab to be a dream. Luciddddddd👽
5+ years later and i still realize how this song had impacted my mind
Meech goes off on this one fr
When does he not go off???
+Kidknapped who doesnt go off on this
Still bumping 2021 this is soul music fr
If you went to this concert when the two groups went on tour you are blessed to experience such a amazing show. Third eye open such a unique crowd, much love 15 year old me blazing a backwood rn or just getting into dabs and tabs. Bless up everyone.
I remember me & one of my bestfriends in highschool listening to this in the woods on a sunny day during a shroom trip. The whistle in the instrumental of this song still brings me back to that day
erick > all
