Well, more like Slug, since atmosphere is just the name he uses when he produces under a guy named ant. Its Rap, Hip hop, whatever you call it, just not that bullshit 50-cent little wayne crap. Check out these songs if you havent heard of him, theyre some of his most diverse ones. He's been one of my favorite rappers for years now.

Deep puddle dynamics- Heavy cieling is a good song to start with Dynospectrum- Unaligned sperm and fuck the bullshit are good starters. Felt-(Slug and MURS from living legends)- Suzanne vega, 20 answers. I have tons of other artist Ide love to share with people to try and gain some music myself, so ask for more or show me something.
Atmosphere is one of my top ten artists. I cant wait till there new "If Life Gives You Lemons Paint That Shit Gold" album comes out.
Atmosphere/Living Legends are probably some of my favorite underground groups, I've seen them live several times, good shows. suzanne vega is definitely an under rated song, I usually open the last.fm client and listen to the living legends station during a sesh, a nice variety of artists who are related to the same scene.
that shroom song sucks balls. I honestly don't know what the big hype is about atmosphere. He's decent, but people talk about him like he shits golden mcnuggets. I think the only reason people listen to him is because he's the "biggest" underground rapper, so they can drop his name in a conversation. If you wanna hear a rap song about shrooms check out shroomz by xzibit. Talks about a whole trip, not just the comeup lol. I don't mean to be rude.
if you like atmosphere, check out dynospectrum. its what slug was up to before he got started with ant. my favorites are "abusing of the rib", "love life", "if i was santa claus", "trailer park chicken" and loads of others. also, check out felt. its murs from living legends and slug and they do a few sick songs like "hot bars" and "i hate your boyfriend."
You kidding me? There's tons of undergorund rappers that are just as/more well known than slug. Just by the way you talk I can tell you haven't listened to much of his shit, his best songs are the ones that are hardes tto find. Either way, he has some crazy metaphors and always spits with meaning. I listen to him because he's good, not because i'm some guy trying to fit in. And xzibit is ok, some of his old shits pretty good, but he's a fucking sell out. Atleast Slug stays true.
You know who shits golden mcnuggets, Savage C, a boss from the bay. he's got some rhymes that I know all of you guys will like since your on this site. You can only find him on itunes, not on youtube or anything like that. Murs is tight as well. Dude all these rappers, living legends, grouch, eligh, murs, atmosphere all are such chillers. Oh and Sav C, he's the biggest chiller of all. You can just sit back, smoke a bowl and listen and you relax so much. Its raw.
atmosphere has some good joints but I am not so thrilled with all his lyrics, especially some of the more personal girlfriend stuff. the track Woman With The Tattooed Hands off lucy ford is excellent overcast is a solid album and wtf saying xzbit is better than atmosphere. he may rap but he hosts a ultra stupid show about fixing up crap cars for utter cockwads..on mtv!duh. yeah and deep puddle dynamics is great. not party music but that album definately grows on me everytime i hear it.
^^emo? wow. ihavent heard that one before. funny when emo was actually a legitimate form of music many many years ago. now it just seems to be an insult people slap on things...
Atmosphere is fucking legendary in my book. no one has heard of him who i talk to but a few choice people. Been listening to him since I can remember..Been there forever. Whoever said Xzibit's song shrooms is good LOL fuck xzibit and his bullshit songs. Can't stand him. Atmosphere, Felt, Living Legends, Sage Francis, all the other guys from RyhmeSayers Entertainment, etc. Are fucking great.
Atmosphere's Overcast album was incredible, and Seven [Headshots] was a dope album as well. Abusing of the Rib, YGM, GodLovesUgly, Deer Wolf, Always Coming Back Home To You, and 1597 are some of my favorite tracks.
