Lucy ford taught me about women and then life gives you lemons taught me I don’t know shit except for that being a good person is harder than relationship with a woman but worth trying. Only ARTIST can start with a nitch(overcast) but keep it maturing as we do as we get older! I love when he says when We started it!

Your dad is intelligent and I feel old now but big ups to your pops for showing you real artistry 🎉

I met slug in Melbourne Australia 2008, I will never forget the feeling. A real guy, no bs... There was banter, and you could tell he loves what he does and that it isn't about the money. So genuine.

True artists. Live performances in studio quality. No mumbling and screaming. Just pure talent. Love these guys ♥️

Kevin hit the nail on the head when he said, "You really started and cultivated a scene." I grew up despising rap. I used to say, "Rap is crap without the 'C'." One day in college I was on youtube and came across 'Trying To Find A Balance' and that started my love for rap. I was ignorant towards the fact that there were rappers that could speak to me on an intelligent level and that lead me down a path towards Blue Scholars, Brother Ali, Living Legends, Sage Francis and many more brilliant 'real' artists.

I lived just outside of Minneapolis for a year in 2000 and my mindset about hip hop was completely changed. The stuff that was coming out at that time really shaped the future for me and music.

God loves ugly! Atmosphere have been a solid duo for decades now. Their music, to me, is timeless and feels as if Slug is speaking directly to his fans.

Twin cities hip hop scene was the best part of growing up in the twin cities. Thanks to rhyme sayers.

I wasnt expecting Happy Mess in there. i am thoroughly pleased I loved that song

used to listen to atmosphere back in high school mashing on my fixed gear thru traffic lol good memories!

How does this only have 65,000 views. Atmosphere is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Anyone else get moved to tears when the Happymess started?

KEXP puts together some of the best quality live studio recordings I've ever heard. I love how they've gone out and gotten such a diverse catalogue of artists and bands out to the consumers to appreciate.

This performance is a gem in the Atmosphere catalog.

When lyrics give you goosebumps that's something special

I feel as the interview went on slug poured out his emotions. That's why I can always relate. Happymess is my jam, love this! I'm more an old school atmosphere kind of girl, but I'll forever support your art.

Love when slug say When WE started it! Always gets interviewed like he is the reason, But Always responds with WE! Did this and WE did that and always makes a point of a team effort!!! Take notes a lot of people won’t acknowledge others when the spot light on them, but always saysWE!!!

This makes me feel old.

Whats nice about Rhymesayers artist is the fans have seemed to mature with the artist and music when i was a teen and oone chatroom were newer it was alot of haye and shit talking but now its more love and appreciation for what they have done and continue to do

not as angry as back in the day, but hasnt lost a step, too dope!

Wow you speak a lot of truth , I'm surprised I never heard you before in my earlier years .Better late than never you hit My Heart God Bless You !

The difference with this fella is that he is talkin about important things in his songs, ain’t talkin bout drugs, chicks and cars, ain’t that cliche rapper

about 15 yrs ago I had a short but potent Atmosphere Addiction. Seeing this after all those years was a complete breath of fresh air. Wonderful nostalgia with new music! Just wonderful. thanks for making this available to watch.

When an artist transcends a "genre" or a box to fit in they become their own category even if not specified by the actual artist. No labels from me, just a thank you 🙏

I don't listen to rap very often, but man, this is awesome!

Too cool. These guys are our idols

I have been a fan of atmosphere for a long ass time. I just seen these guys in duluth mn the other night and I swear the shows get better and better. Keep it up you guys! 612 all day

Before everything... Atmosphere - Overcast! changed my life!!!

From the southside mpls... in 97 had that Overcast 💿 scattered across my carpet in that first apartment, a block from Powderood Park ...💿 mixed in wrong cases, Prob in Midnight Marauders case and the Tribe on its own quest stolen the night b4 by somebody at my party, no longer to be bumpin in that 3 disc changer Aiwa stereo...anyway, I am back.! It is 2017 and ( why the F am I in Birmingham?) I wanted to thank Ant especially...wow, his beats! A true artist and like no other, and thank Slug for speaking with me those 🔟 long years in Oregon...and THANK YOU Seatle for radio stations like this one...it gives me hope, simply you give a gift as important as hope to souls like mine. Music means something to you!

Till this day! The man, The myth, the Legend 🤙

i love that they played Happymess such a great song

Great show with awesome engineering. Can't get enough of this perfect studio.

Was just saying it's like they make music just for me and here you are defining Dad rap. Mad love plz dont ever stop.

Just saw Atmosphere @ Cali Roots 2018. KILLED IT! First time I saw them live and they could not have done any better. Huge fan through the days but that concert has renewed my love for the music and message. Thought I saw you Yesterday! Keep it up as always!

thanks for bringing them on!!!! so amazing, chills the whole way thru.

Atmosphere is crazy legit. Minneapolis love 💜

An OG of the game

Just saw Atmosphere at Red Rocks. They killed it, and they played happymess.

The amount of soul in each song is a beautiful thing to observe as a twenty year fan.

God damn, Slug and Ant. Love you guys.

I love Slugs acknowledgment of true hip hop not taking such a hit from technology's changes of music sales. It's important

They still got it.

Didn't realize he recorded this the night before the concert at showbox! I was there, Slug and Ant killed it like always!!!

I REMEMBER ALL OF THEM!

Slug's vocals on Pure Evil. Man. And Perfect is damn amazing here.

so sick

Damn these songs hit home in 2020

I gasped and screamed Yes like a little girl when he played the HappyMess beat

fast hands, fast hands...Atmosphere is a genius!!

Slug/atmosphere y’all make me hide my tears from my vehicle company

Just checking in to hear Plain Ole Bill drop the "Happy Mess" sample

Atmosphere is the greatest rapper hip hop artist of all time

Much Respect to the Fam. 612 O.F.M.T.R.U.E.
