Slug from Atmosphere

I dont know why I haven't posted this topic before but now is a good time to start as any.
To those of you who listen to Slug on this site big ups. To those of you who don't, I dont care what kinda music your into go pick up any of his releases and I guarantee you'll enjoy it. This guy is the lyrical genius, cleverest writer I've ever heard. Peopl can relate alot to him. My fave pick would have to be Headshots 7. Anyways atleast check him out on the net at Slug 7 and the music at Slug 7
I hope you enjoy, that is all.

Overrated.


but good.

Slug is a fantabulous mc, Eyedea sucks ass on albums though when battling he is good. When he preformed with Atmoshere for the Fobia video premire party for Joy and pain, they where on tip.

eyedea's ill.

you should search this forum, i have a hunch that there's been a few atmosphere/slug posts.

but i agree. he's neat. i generally dig most of the rhymesayers

overrated how?

he is AMAZING in action..you can see his dedication oozing out of his poures (sp?) and his mouth..hehe he spits and spazzes onstage and it totally rocks. his speedy delivery is inasne too..there is nothing that sucks ass about him except the fact that he didn't talk to me at the show the other day ( i suck for not approaching him this time around, but luckily i got to talk to another cool ass mother fucker instead.)

Everyone check out MuRs- Hes dope yo

Have you BEEN to an Atomsphere show?

I'd say Slug is the superstar of the underground, if there is any such person...does he REALLY deserve this spot? I think there are plenty of better MCs out there...he's touched a chord, particularly with white indie kids...but whenever I hear people rave about him, I think, "yeah, he's good...but he ain't all that."

Umm lets see where do I start.
I also like De La Soul. Stakes Is High is one of my old favorites. Don't worry though, theres other people on this site that are also fond of mainstream rap and the lifestyle it depicts. I know that most mainstream rappers started out in the underground and Im sure that others started out by having lyrics written for them. It seems like now though the rappers that have become mainstream have gotten lazy( A few exceptions). There is no important meaning behind what they write. As long as they got a good beat they can lay some simple shit down over it. The lyrics are always talkin about who has nice cars, who has lots of money, who has beef with who, whos claiming where they're from, who gets the hot women and same old and same old. To say that this kinda shit is not overrated would be like saying that country western music is good. (NO offense to any listeners out there). I'm not saying that you don't listen to underground and that you don't like underground but it seems like all you've joined this site for is to complain about other peoples rap tastes and praise most who are now in the mainstream. I mean atleast give us the courtesy of kinda knowing who you are if your gonna comment on the boards by putting up some likes and dislikes on your profile.
Futhermore what is wrong with the the particular chord that Atmosphere has touched. I say if you have any sorta fan that is a good thing not a bad thing. It may not be who you want it to be or who you intended it for but atleast theres people who can relate to your shit and like it. Also just because Slug has a very uniquely different lyrical style than other rappers doesn't mean that he shouldnt get credit for his efforts. Slug busts his ass off to get his music out to an audience and and to perform for his fans. He has been doing so since like 1997 or earlier. For this reason alone this should be the answer for why he is so popular in the underground today. He's earned it and deserves it and he still probably isn't bling blingin from his efforts either. His wealth comes from the respect of his fans. This is why if there was such a thing as the " Superstar of THe Underground" Slug would be it. I mean come on, the man started up his own Indie label with others and is the fucking A&R and look how good they're doing now. Not everyone has this kinda talent. I've heard also that they had offers to be signed by a major record label before but didnt want to. Didn't want to sell out that is. Slug has fucking huge pride in what he does, so give credit where credit is do.
That is all, Peace

My Ex gave slug a lap dance at the strip club she used to work at... That makes me cool too doesnt' it????

uh yeah... i've been listening to them and going to their shows since they started.
so who is he inferior to and how? there are better emcee's in the same genre, but do they communicate as well as he does? what exactly makes him inferior?
and overrated in the underground is often subjective. a lot of people who are hip hop heads to the core have barely heard his music.

hey look at that old thread
