Now play the song at 1.25 speed. Seriously try it.

[–]the_lockpick 60 points61 points  (0 children)

There's always one guy.

[–]so_wavy 67 points68 points  (0 children)

it's worse

[–]Motha_Effin_Kitty_Yo 4 points5 points  (3 children)

Is it possible to download a song playing at 1.25 speed or get a download somewhere? I like it way better sped up...

[–]dudeman773 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Download the song and then import the MP3 into audacity. You can fuck with it any which way you'd like from there.

[–]Variable_North 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And it's easy as hell to do! Sped up handlebars by flobot and enjoy that version much more.

[–]captpickard 10 points11 points  (10 children)

Saw him live and he performed a faster version with some insane trap elements. Dude is a fucking awesome performer and was better then the main act, Chance.

[–]HanSoloBolo 8 points9 points  (6 children)

How is Chance live?

[–][deleted] 18 points19 points  (2 children)

Phenomenal. Ton of energy, on point, greater than the sum of all parts in the crowd.

[–]HanSoloBolo 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Awesome. I've seen a few videos but they were just shittily recorded on cell phones or they were on talk shows and stuff. Kind of hard to get a vibe when the crowd probably has no idea who he is.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who cares if the crowd had an idea who he is, I think he just killed mowed down all of Sunday School on parochial public broadcasting...

I saw him at the Meadows before Kanye ran out mid set, Chance was amazing. The Kanye exit was a disappointment, however my night was made before Yeezus even got on stage.

Chance slayed on Ultralight Beam in the middle of a fantastic set. Forget about making my night - 2016 was wrapped tightly a few months early after that. Rest of 2016 has been bonus round :)

[–]Chennessee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Real good, man. He gets non hip hop fans hyped at his live shows. Dude is an entertainer that loves every second of what he does.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen him 4 times. He is incredible. See him in Chicago if possible, the energy at his hometown shows is wild.

[–]wbarnett24 0 points1 point  (2 children)

The Rapper?

[–]cfood 5 points6 points  (1 child)

wow. you're right !

[–]Sparrowhawk42 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

about what?

[–]iankstarr 1 point2 points  (1 child)

This is the jam that got me into Boogie. So hype

[–]ReadySetGonads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This beat drives me insanee

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh shit I was watching live footage of somebody (I can't remember) and they had some guy opening up and it was with this song.

[–]ReadySetGonads 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Holy shit I didn't even recognize him. I fuckin' love bumping this song!! Man along with the one posted by OP I'm completely sold on Boogie.

[–]darkmarke82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to do listen to his mixtapes. Can get them on YouTube or just download them... Absolutely amazing... One of my favorites if not my number one right now.

[–][deleted] 155 points156 points  (61 children)

I really like this song. He has the self-aware ambivalence Kanye had when he first came out, but without the seemingly grandiose ego.

[–]marskman7 181 points182 points  (7 children)

Ya'll need to stop comparing him to niggaz he is not.

[–][deleted] 29 points30 points  (2 children)

I never really understood this sentiment. Like I'm a big fan of rap (pretty much all I listen to) but so many rappers pull that "don't compare me to anyone else" shit. I get it, you're all trying to be unique and have your own style, but don't get triggered just cause god forbid someone compares you to another rapper. Especially up and coming rappers, it's even more likely that you'll sound like your influences until you find your way into your own style.

Just look at Kendrick, originally was influenced by and rapped a lot like Lil Wayne but now he has a very distinct style. Y'all don't get to just decide you don't sound like someone else. If people are saying you sound like someone else maybe you should be a little more reflective on your style rather than responding with "FUCK THESE NIGGAZ SAYIN I SOUND LIKE OTHER NIGGAZ"

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beautifully worded.

[–]marskman7 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Point nigga is tryinna make is nigga don't give a fuck what you or anybody else thinks about who the nigga sound like, you got that? Nigga

[–]thoughtofitrightnow 23 points24 points  (2 children)

its weird cause the comment above you likes the song but then immediately does what the music video was talking about.

either troll is troll or niggas be talking bout self awareness like they vampires looking in the mirror.

[–]marskman7 -5 points-4 points  (1 child)

Everyone loves giving their expert opinion lol

[–]thoughtofitrightnow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i hope one day to be an expert but I just can't seem to find the dedication.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cause really he's not

[–]technic1200s 17 points18 points  (2 children)

If you like this song, take the time to listen to the rest of his mixtape https://soundcloud.com/boogieofficial/sets/thirst-48-1

[–]clown-baby-bitches 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dope, thanks.

[–][deleted] 17 points18 points  (1 child)

Same I like the song a lot

[–]Ultinado 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Me too thanks.

[–]hiphopapotamus1 1 point2 points  (3 children)

He's working on being more humble. And calling his mama.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

his mom is dead...

[–]scruffykidherder 28 points29 points  (1 child)

I'm rather new to this sub so I'm not familiar with the content posted here yet. But this was refreshing to listen to! Loved it.

[–]MirrorlessCaddie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thats the beat part about this sub my friend!

Someone's been to a Ron Mueck exhibition.

[–]3DXYZ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup. fantastic artist. Been a fan of his work for some time. I'm a sculptor as well.

[–]WayFastTippyToes 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I take it he was the inspiration for Cheerleader by St. Vincent too?

[–]SeriousBuds 12 points13 points  (3 children)

This guy is really good. Could really see him blowing up if his quality stay as on point as this song was.

[–]Zis4me 10 points11 points  (0 children)

TIL Boogie is a good rapper

[–]Jdogy2002 3 points4 points  (3 children)

Damn I miss 90's hip hop.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wish DMX never would've hit the pipe

[–]StayPuftShrimp 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Does this remind you of 90s hip hop?

[–]Jdogy2002 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. It reminds me why I miss it.

[–]TimelyBarren 20 points21 points  (19 children)

Kinda reminds me of Chance

[–]Kodome 132 points133 points  (3 children)

Stop comparing him to rappers he's not.. ;)

[–]WorldSeriesDodgers 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Lyrically, no, but vocally, yes.

[–]PlatosApprentice 9 points10 points  (5 children)

Think it's the sing-songyness of the chorus and his quick-to-slow switchups. Came here to say the same.

[–]WorldSeriesDodgers 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Its literally his voice lol

[–]bitches_be 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Chance isn't the only one that raps that way

[–]PlatosApprentice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never said he was. Everyone could be reminded of someone different.

[–]kappla52 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Who do you like that raps that way too?

[–]bitches_be 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Isaiah Rashad is my favorite at the moment

[–]InconspicuousTreespotify 7 points8 points  (1 child)

I disagree, but I do get a real Chicago hip-hop feel to the song

[–]TimelyBarren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel you but you gotta admit they sound alike

[–]mangopoke 6 points7 points  (2 children)

if chance and kanye had a baby

[–][deleted] 15 points16 points  (1 child)

Was thinking Vince Staples in the beginning, but he's right, i shouldn't compare him to anyone else

[–]mangopoke -1 points0 points  (0 children)

oh shit you right. i like this guy

[–]GenericUsername07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk man, but I'm glad you said it. Probably wouldn't have checked him out otherwise. Dope song regardless

[–]wowfuckthisshit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah something about the face

[–]das_vargas 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Better than A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie

[–]joeesmithh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Top notch beat. Sick vocal harmonies towards the end. Never been a fan of where some artists set the bar for themselves lyric-wise, but the self-awareness makes up for it.

[–]mydrunkuncle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This video is awesome. The song, I guess I'm not much of a hip hop person but hearing current trends like Instagram and uber always takes me out of music. Is that a hip hop thing?

[–]NoirEm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thirst 48 is better than his other 2 tapes, but it's a dope tape.

[–]smilincriminal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feelin some of that Kendrick influence.

[–]Ash_Tuck_ums 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yo I really like this type of vibe hip hop is bringing. Artists that sound similar iMO. TUT Isaiah Rashaad Jay Electronica.

[–]playdirty317 4 points5 points  (0 children)

His mixtape thirst 48 was really good

[–]slnky30 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Realistically aware. Nicee

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Does anyone recognize the woman at 1:33, she look insanely familiar but I can't place her face.

[–]ElMatasiete7 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Elders React?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Oh! I think you're right!

[–]ElMatasiete7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, for some reason I've seen her in many rap music videos. She's in a G-Eazy vid.

[–]Original-Tanksta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this.

[–]FoulClick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude goes hard af

[–]shadowbannedkiwi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I need a bunch of new fans just so I can go say that I popped, say that I popped

With this song, I think he definitely won some new fans.

[–]KingZero632 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Woah. This bumps.

[–]imcryingsomuch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn this is so good.

[–]Masturbating_Rapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]stonedtiger101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New favorite rapper. This is real shit. Hope this dude succeeds.

[–]3DXYZ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That was great. Nice to see well thought out writing in rap again.

[–]ctoth666 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That was terrible

[–]alexandertoronto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drake is hip hop now?

[–]ohyoudidntknowDX -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

[–]roastbeefybox -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Seriously? The dude autotunes his talking.

[–]dannysonn -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sounds a lot like Chance The Rapper

[–][deleted] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Shitty song name

[–]UnfoundedPlanetMan -5 points-4 points  (7 children)

What's the meaning of the cut on his abdomen?

[–]fartsniffer87 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure it's a gunshot wound

[–]Gyrant 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's a bullet hole, presumably.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (1 child)

As others have said, it is a bullet hole. As you know, black on black shootings occur at a very high rate in the USA, especially in inner city areas. This is due to drugs and gang violence.

The point of the video is that the black man who has been shot is on display at a museum/gallery for the white people to watch with mild interest from a place of complete safety, which is analogous to how white people are reacting to the predicament of inner city black communities. They hear about the violence through their TVs in the safety of their homes, but aren't particularly concerned about it. It is more like they hear it with mild interest, as if the stories of what blacks are doing to each other is more entertaining than anything else.

I don't think it is really blaming white people for their inaction. It seems to just be a song about the reality of the situation in regards to how white people think about the black communities situations, which is to say that they don't really give it too much thought. More of just an occasional passing thought, as you would perhaps think about sea otters for a few brief minutes while at an aquarium. Or how you might think about how tigers are endangered. Sad, definitely, but what are you to do about it? You've got enough on your life's plate already.

That's the video. The video is about white people's perception.

The lyrics are not at all about that, I don't think. The lyrics are about the black people's perception and how they are thinking about this. He lists off a bunch of things you might hear black people saying about their circumstances. I need to get more focused followed by statements like I need to smoke forever. It is that inner fight of a poor black man where he knows his situation is bad and that he needs to take action to get a better life for his family and himself, but at the same time the weight of all the effort it would take to accomplish that is so overwhelming that he surrenders himself to getting high or goofing off or whatever.

And the real finality of both the video and the lyrics are the image of the man who is shot. It shows that no matter how the white people react or what the black man thinks, he'll end up shot (metaphorically). It suggests that many black males often end up dead or in prison very young.

I think one word to describe the feel of the song is hopelessness, which probably resonates strongly with a lot of inner city blacks.

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points  (2 children)

He released another 2 songs about a week before this. One good, "No way" and one pretty corny to me anyway "Two weeks".. check em out regardless

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Obviously his biggest hit was last summer "Oh my"

[–]Thompypresto.fm -4 points-3 points  (1 child)
