Karen Coltrane: Slug of Atmosphere

Nice interview. And fuck the haters and the kids with a high school mindset complaining that their favorite groups make it big. Atmosphere and the whole Rhymesayers roster deserve all the shine they're getting. Keep it up Sean.

+1

Exactly. Fuck the bullshit.

I'd love to see Brother Ali make it big as well.

Great interview. Thanks for that.

love his work. LOVE it.

Slug is the shit.

Atmosphere was, without a doubt, one of the best shows I've been to in a wihle. I've never been a huge hip hop fan but I can't help loving their records.

Leave it to Slug to bring the underground scene
into the main stream with out changing for the masses.

I fucking love that guy.

if i could have one person cook me breakfast in the morning it would be slug. he just rocks so impossibly hard. thanks for the interview, SG.

Good shit. I love the fact that slug and ant have become what they have become. Everyone in MPLS was rooting for 'em for quite some time.

I just . . . Um . . .




Great interview, great subject. Thanks.

P.O.S. shout-out! That guy's going strsight to the top. Keep your eye on Doomtree.

Love this interview!

Great Interview, brought his amazingness to the surface even more. And the last line hit like a train.

It's about time you guys interviewed Slug! I thought you woulda jumped on it shortly after the release of Seven's Travels, but whatever.

Fucking love Slug. Thier work is incredible. Atmosphere finally made a hit record. Pour me another homie.

Fer sher. I was happy to see this in my feeds. Can't wait 'til we see an interview with P.O.S. too. And the rest of Rhymesayers, to boot.

We all love a clown / But we don't wanna see you climb up out the underground / Watch out! / If you don't like the sound / Fuck you! I'm just tryin' to put it down for my home town

Yeah... Slug has a certain something in his sarcasm....
It really brings a level of separation to (common trendy hip-hoppers cheering for some fuck they don't even know what he's spitting, then spreading his name cuz he 'sounds cool') from people with an actual passion for music.
Thanks Slug for the years of bringing kids back down to the level pretend not to be on...
Also, thanks for not switching up your shit just because of a bad review or 36....

Slug: Spitter of the heart

a few friends and i trucked out on a road trip once to go see Atmo in my hometown. the show was nuts (it was back during a Slug / Dibbs / Micronauts / Brother Ali tour) and afterwards, while i was still trying to cope with what would become two day's worth of brutal tinnitus, a buddy came out and said

"i went and said hi to Slug."

i said what was he like? what'd you say to him? he said

"i just told him thank you, modern man's hustle changed my life."

and ever since then that's the moment that stands out from the road trip. modern man's hustle did change our lives.
