- "The Deep" created by clipping. for This American Life episode #623 “We Are In The Future”
This American Life producer, Neil Drumming, has recently become fascinated with Afrofuturism. It's more than sci-fi. It’s a way of looking at black culture that’s fantastic, creative, and oddly hopeful-which feels especially urgent during a time without a lot of optimism. tal.fm/623

![clipping. - Splendor & Misery [FULL ALBUM STREAM]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/VpXiEb2KVoY/mqdefault.jpg)
I just started reading the novella by Rivers Solomon, had to look up the music that inspired it, and WHOA this song utterly blew me away. AMAZING.
Thank you NPR for this one
Freaking love this song
clipping. did an interview with Nate Sloan and Charlie Harding of Switched on Pop where they explained how this song was recorded. For example they said that the sound at 1:25 was made by plunging hit hard disks disks in water.
I have never had a song trigger my thalasaphobia. I don't really mind i, but it is a little strange.
This song is so deep, so so deep

I feel like I just watched a movie with my third eye
Agreed! This song is brilliant. I would love to see the creators of Into the Spider-verse make something based on it.
Rhett Barton into the spiderverse? Now that’s a great idea! I, too, would love to see that 🙌
Did...did you mean your imagination?
Shamsa, that is the best description!
Maria Limon thanks! 😆
could this be the different sections of the ocean?

1:46 : abyssal zone
2:59 : twilight zone
3:55 : daylight zone
If the Next Album sound anything like this, I'm Fucking Sold. #itsClippingBitch
What big fish theory should've been more of. I mean it was a good album, but this song just blows anything Vince did out of the water.
yeah big fish theory just wasn't anything too exiting and when he experimented with the beats it just felt really off. Clipping can make songs from water noises and alarm clocks though so i don't think you can compare vince to them.
I don't agree at all you guys. I think the beats that are a bit more experimental on Big Fish Theory are really nice, but there are some tracks that don't really suit his rapping. Big Fish Theory would have been awful if it had Clipping influences as strong as this, because the producers Vince work with have wouldn't be able to do that sound justice.
Crabs In A Bucket and Yeah Right have some really nice production on them in my opinion. Hard to compare to people like Clipping who are far, far more experimental.
+Tha Swami I for one like Big Fish theory but I can understand if others don't because it sounds like a 40 Min Banger Album.
P.S I don't know if you meant it or not but you made a joke. lol
Tha Swami Wheres the fucking sound correlation between clipping.: the experimental hip hop noise outfit and Vince Staples: The Trip-Hop rapper?
i don't believe in an afterlife.
but sometimes, i like to pretend that i do, just to imagine situations like this:
imagine H.P. Lovecraft--who, even for his time period, was _appallingly_ racist--looking down at us from the afterlife...and hearing this song...
this song, written by a Black man, explicitly using horror and science fiction elements to explore Afrofuturist concepts...
and casually name-dropping one of Lovecraft's characters, Dagon, the Great Old One, at 3:19 ...
imagine how _absolutely livid_ Lovecraft would be. :D
I am supremely pleased by this imagining.
I too like imagining this. Midway thru bram stokers love book to an actor i find him gushing over henry morton stanley ( he “explored” the “dark continent”)
Suddenly bram stoker is anchored solidly as a white dude in his time by such statements as “Then he told of the wonder of the savages; their reverence; their complete submission!”
Supernatural. Racist. I would love Bram to be here now. Maybe he could’ve loved his man openly as well.
So many of Lovecraft's stories can be easily reinterpreted in a positive and progressive way if you just look at them from a non xenophobic, racist, white supremacist viewpoint. The Shadow Over Innsmouth is about a town reconnecting with humanities underwater cousins. The Dunwich Horror is about a single mother and her father having been blessed by a God struggling to take care of their half-cosmic children. The Horror at Red Hook is about a rich white man taking advantage of lower class immigrants who have been persecuted by the police and using them for his horrible occult rituals.
Man Daveed needs more recognition for his rapping. Like seriously.
OMG I need this new clipping like schools need teachers bruh
this
More relevant now than ever
MERMAID👏🏼CONCEPT👏🏼ALBUM
First the streets, then the abyss of space, and now the underwater mysteries of the deep... Fuck yes
This song is pretty deep
Concox fight me for that pun
SO deep
No more deep
Forever deep
so so deep
This is like a siren song, mesmerizing
Daveed criminally underrated 😳
Daveed is pretty well known after Hamilton. Clipping, as a band, are the underrated ones...
He isn't the GOAT but he's in my top 5 recently.
how many other rappers have a Tony
Tony AND a Grammy
Daveed Diggs is THE most underrated rapper in the whole fucking world
I know this is for a This American Life episode, but I really hope this is part of a new album. I adore Splendor & Misery, and another, more fleshed out album in that conceptual vein would be amazing.
Baron Bacon V, phd I hope they do come through with a concept album based on this song or theme. I'm feeling great things and energy, story telling poetry at it's best. clipping.🔥
kyoto graphic Thanks for the information I wasn't really aware. I'm excited to hear their upcoming music. 🙌🏼
kyoto graphic For real, when you think they can't get any better, they drop a good af track or album that's even better somehow.
Little did you know how right you’d be
this feeds that confusing deeply detailed craving inside that you can't put your finger on & didn't know you had, while leaving you both satisfied & discontent, amirite?!
Kathryn Imagin and you just wanna cry while you're not listening to it.
It itches that itch that i can't get...
Oh my god yes
This song taught me what a pisol shrimp is so don't let anybody say rap can't be educational
blood of the fang taught me birds have pneumatic bones (along with a whole lot of stuff about the BPP)
im listening with this with my friend and when it got to 3:55 they started shouting *"DON'T HURT EM, DAVEED!!!"* i love them so much
😂😂😂
Every time I listen to this song, I look for this comment.
Good to see that Drexciya gets some attention outside of the electro scene. To me the whole Drexciya catalogue including all sideprojects/aliases is the best music ever made.
New genre. Mermaid noise-hop
*SUNSHIIIIIIIIINE*
:)
*ride on*
D R E X C I Y A
Drexciya for life ! Thank the heavens Gerald Donald is still making mind bending tunes.
THE COUNTDOWN HAS BEGUN
The world needs this to be a full concept album.
They're making a book about it
EP coming soon!
@@Jack-cu5il Wow, had to look this up. Beyond thrilled!
your wish has been fulfilled
It's inspired by and set in the same world as the music of Drexciya!
THE EP COVER IS LEGIT I LIKE THE CMYK TOUCH AND REGISTRATION MARKS
This song kicks fuckin ass. I love the dark and ambient sounds of the ocean, the transitions between each phase of the song give me goosebumps, every new section of the song builds on top of the previous part without adding too much cluster to the mix, and to top all that off, Daveed is rapping about mermaids, and making a compelling story with such a strange subject matter. One of the best rap songs I've ever heard.
No.
I'm late as hell to the whole clipping thing but this man's really out here making Lovecraft references
The one that blew my mind, and solidified me as an absolute fan, was Air'em Out. I didn't get most of the references in it, but when I listened to it, I was like, "Wait wait wait, what, let me make sure, did he say what I think he said, all the way to the Kefahuchi Tract? Holy shit, he did. Dude's dropping M. John Harrison references. Most of the times I start dropping references to M. John Harrison's Viriconium and the Kefahuchi Trilogy even to sci-fi fans ain't no one knows who the fuck I'm talking about, and this motherfucker's dropping references in a rap song. I think I found my favorite new thing ever!"
And, well, clipping.'s not my favorite new thing ever nowadays. But are definitely in my favorite things. They're just no longer "new" to me :D
this song makes me want to knock on a Mormon's front door.
First two minutes i was apprehensive, but when the beat dropped at 3:00 i was really feelin it. i can't even put this into words..
Gabby W and then it's over too soon
I swear this track, Is part of the real remembrance. I swear clipping taps in to ancient history..
Has anyone read the book? Under the same name but by the author River Solomon. It is a must read!
man i was in bed when i decided to click on fantanos weekly track roundup and then i saw a new clipping song and my ass jumped right up to listen to this shit and i have no regrets
..........This is the only song I've listened to for 24 hours, are you proud William, Jonathan, and Daveed?
Am I the only one who wants to see a music video for this song?
I imagine a battalion of mer-people in a battle-subs as their generals, played by clipping, remind them why they're going to war.
Theres a novella coming out from Rivers Solomon later this year based on this song
It's here!! The novella!
Came back specifically to see if anyone was mentioning Rivers' novella yet. Absolutely love that I was beat to it several times
This song should be in "Aquaman: The Lost Kingdom"!
This song is so unnerving. It's the combination of repetition and the ambient sounds. I've read a lot of Lovecraft, but this was the first "Invasion from the deep" that's creeped me out while being so beautiful and haunting.
is this music for fish?
Here after reading the book in five hours.....read it.
Who’s here after watching Daveed in “The Little Mermaid”?
It was so fun watching the sign language interpreter do this song at the Hugo Awards. When Daveed went off, she went off.
Holy shit this is great!! When I read it pays homage to drexciya I had to stop everything I was doing
Oh. My. Gosh. I LOVE THIS SONG! They played it on the radio, and now I cant stop listening.
Yo I'm weak this is real
clipping. goes drexciya?
precisely
The narrative of this song is executed so well, especially with the transition of the instruments throughout the song as the tempo increases, the introduction of a more complex beat works so, so well with this. amazing job
I just read the novella and this song makes it even better. What a beautiful combination
I'm about to read The Deep by Rivers Solomon, a book inspired by this song and the audiobook is also read by Daveed Diggs
Daveed, William, and Jonathan along with Rivers Solomon wrote a novella (short book) based on this. I can’t wait to get my fingers on it.
*progressive rap*
This sounds like space rap that was made in the 80s, nice
ZXQaos I really like the kinda 80's hip-hop vibe it gives at some point. 🔥It's really good and from start to finish soothing to the ears. My mom enjoyed it and was like "It reminds me of the MC's back in the days"
Sinai Cruz Yeah I think it's something to do with his flows, there's an amateurish quality to them but they're integrated really smoothly into the instrumental
ZXQaos my exact thoughts, feels very mature though. It's a full enjoyable song very well balanced and put together. I also like how Daveed is able to rap to story telling using poetry and figurative language. Im amazed. And the instrumentals are just pure delightful and so well balanced.
It's a direct homage to Drexciya: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drexciya
@@deadtech9417 More of a general reference to an era around time of Cybotron /Juan Atkins, even earlier than Drexciya
Best acid trip I've ever had.
Came back to this after that submarine got lost. RIP to those on board, but this song still fire
This song is so amazing. I just finished reading the book 'The Deep' (by Rivers Solomon) that was inspired by this song-I love finding hidden gems!
Damn man, clipping. does it again.
inb4 melonman
I stopped watching that video to come listen.
Melon(o)ma(n)
TIME TO . BREAK . THE . GLASS .
Anyone here after reading the book?
That sounds really good. Hope they start a tour so I can finally see them live
IT'S KLIPPAN BENCH
I just heard this on This American Life and I am freaking obsessed!!!!!!
Now theres a bo8k written specifically for this song lol an entire YA novel named, The Deep. The book sounds super good though.
But regardless, i just cant get in to this shiz... nay nay musics lol
Eldritch rap.
Just finished reading the book during lunch. This was the first thing I looked for when I came home. It's perfect.
I need to know how this artist is connected to or influenced by Drexciya!!!
The last beat is so hard
Drexciya!
BOOM Clipping. Time for a new tour.
The fact that one label published Father John Misty, Clipping, Metric, The Shins, Shabazz Palaces. I normally don't have much admiration for record labels, but Sub Pop is the best label in the world.
"When y'all swam up out yo mamma while y'all mamma was asleep"😹
#SoDeep
i commented on this video before anthony fantano
No song in the history of songs has given me this clear of images in my head. It's like a movie in my mind. So good! So deep!
Around 3:55 I start getting an almost Aphex Twin vibe
ICU ViZioN Same
It sounds like Drexciya which makes sense because the entire song is a tribute to them.
Good ol bloops and bleeps
Which obviously aphex twin was very influenced by drexciya
This is a direct homage to them including some direct samples pretty much all over the track
I like to imagine the events of this tune (based on the novella by River Solomon) takes place at the beginning of World War 2 when submarines were widely used (even though the American Union had ironclads in Civil War use) and especially when the world started detonating their nukes in the pacific oceans. The movie of this to me would look like Black Panther mixed with Aquaman, but with more Afrofuturist tones.
Please progressive rock my ass bois
you know this isnt prog though right
i love when he says
SUNSHIIIIIIIIIINE
This is, as always, brilliant stuff. Please, never stop making poetry.
I like the switch-ups on the beat
Every time I listen to this, I have to let the video finish fully, so I get to assume that Clipping got a full cent, because he gave me so much more with this song.
This is incredibly impressive. actually wtf
exactly our thoughts every time clipping delivers
I have lost hope for humanity.
git woke
Woah i was jamming CLPPNG just one minute ago...
Congrats on the Hugo nomination!
If the next album will be like this song I will totally spend all my money on this and I'm not even joking.
Y'all remember how deep it go
Started from the bottom
Y'all remember how deep it go
'Fore y'all had to come back, deep
Y'all remember when it used to be deep
So deep, so, so deep, ay
When y'all swim up out yo' mama while y'all mama was asleep
So deep, so, so deep, ay
And y'all remember when y'all had the dance floor lit, dark
No two-step, deep, y'all don't even sweat, deep
As deep as it gets
Dreaming dead asleep and keeping time
Y'all heartbeat, deep, y'all heartbeat, deep
And all the fishes had they eyes bugged out
'Cause y'all dancing underwater and y'all don't get wet
And the dark smelled sweet and y'all tails touch reef
Y'all feed off the bottom, but now y'all remember
Y'all remember
Y'all remember
Pressure outside the vehicle, 832.2 bars
Y'all remember when the deep got hot when y'all move on up
How y'all used to argue 'bout the water getting warmer
Still y'all loved a little bit of light up in the deep
So deep, so, so deep, ay
Y'all remember saying how it couldn't be them two legs
'Cause y'all came from two legs
And y'all mama's would've loved y'all if they could've breathed
But they wasn't ready for the deep
So deep, so, so deep, ay
Y'all remember when the first blast came
And the beat fell off and the dreams got woke
And the light bent bad and the fishes belly up
And them coral castles crumbled 'cause they wasn't quite enough
And conversation used to break like the floor quake
Like the bleached bones and the fin friends fled from they home
But the blasts wouldn't stop 'cause they wanted black gold
And them no-gills had to feel it 'cause they couldn't be told
Y'all remember
Y'all remember
Ocean salinity, 35 PSU, water pH, 7.91
Y'all remember when the regime changed
That no pleas, no calm seas, let the water rise
So deep, so, so deep
Oil slick upon the sleeper was an awful thing to realize
If the two legs wanna wake the dead
They gon' have to bring more fire, y'all is closer to the earth
So deep and y'all was talking how to get up in they heads
And got to bein' real inspired circumstances of the birth
Has got y'all feeling like an army, better yet a navy
And they gone gave y'all the blessing now y'all going crazy
They live with green up on the surface but they ain't deep
That pistol shrimp could knock a two leg off his feet
Y'all perfecting the steam void to rip up they ships
They using sonar as second language, y'all fluent with it
And all the dreamers is woke now, but nightmares swim
But everybody hear that "Bloop" know y'all coming for them
Y'all remember
Y'all remember
Surface water temperature, 308 Kelvin
Y'all remember when the call went out, ay
No deep, no more deep, sunshine
Y'all remember when the call went out, ay
No deep, no more deep, sunshine
Y'all remember feeling wind up on your skin
No deep, no more deep, sunshine
Y'all remember how it burned in the beginning
No deep, ride on 'em, ride on 'em, ride on 'em
Y'all remember seeing sun across the surface
On the day that y'all first came up out the water, so, so deep
How the breaking of the surface showed the sky without a border
And the air is so much hotter, so, so deep
How the woke dreamer screamed and it rose tides
And the waves stretched up like a mountain high
And the no gills gasp and they closed eyes
And they pray to they gods and they ask why
And then y'all cry too 'cause y'all recognize mama
In the faces of the ones that y'all were terrorized
They were sisters and brothers
They were the babies born up out the water
Not connected to each other
Not in knowledge of the one drop
But they had to learn today
Y'all had one shot, let the sun burn today
Let them feel the dark even deeper today
Make a two-leg a believer today
Let them know that they done woke a sleeper from a sleep
So deep
That y'all been dancin' without any feet, so, so deep
Here's the nerve that they struck with a blast
That they broke with a drill, that they burnt with the gas
Y'all remember, so deep, sunshine, ride on 'em
Y'all remember, so deep, sunshine, ride on 'em
Y'all remember, so deep, sunshine, ride on 'em
Y'all remember when y'all had to let 'em breathe
Ride on 'em, ay
sunshiiiine
This sounds like some hypnotic stuff...
I like it.
Its almost like he knew he was gonna be in the little mermaid remake
Clipping is made for stereo
What. The. Fuck.
I listened to this song today for the first time on That American life and as simple as this song is .. it really touched me
May all these tortured souls be granted peace deep in the sea and deep in the earth 🙏🏻
.....Remember "Midcity"? That album was the shit.
Definitely getting Midcity vibes from this
ElcoMoyer I miss the noise.
maaaaaajor
Midcity is my favorite hiphop album all time.
Their only good album imho
ElcoMoyer You didn't like Splendor and Misery?
This is some whacky shit! Props to Clipping
I just realized today that the singer is Lafayette in the Broadway Hamilton play!
my husband is so good at this shit
ahahahah
Latest rerun This America life episode brought me here
NEW CLIPPING YESSSS
Cant get over this song
That was triply even that tempo in the song
