its impossible to listen to Billy Woods as just background music lol I'm sitting here trying to do some work and listening to this album and every single verse I get drawn into it. Amazing. I haven't had this feeling about a hip hop album in a longass time.
0o I Died In A Time Machine o0 I honestly feel like he’s the best lyricist and poet writing write now. Like people will read his lyrics in a hundred years or so trying to decipher it to understand what life was like in America in the early 21st century.
@@crooked5812 i don't get more than half of what he's saying & i still experience that existential crisis, simply because i know im too ignorant to understand the deepest lyrics but also still know that it must be powerful as FUCK
"Lost no sleep over the fate of your white farm What goes come back around So when they came for me, I wasn't alarmed Get fished out the hole like Sadam Tough guys won't go alive, get found unarmed" Shit.
Bar for bar the heaviest and "best" of this year - single and album. Metal Face should be proud to see the standard continued and enveloped. God bless my neighbours, they have and will eat this
Til this day my one of my favorite bars of all time “Too scared to write the book, took it, put it in the hook Of a song, no one listened to it, looks like I wasn't wrong Hid it where they wouldn't look,”
I became a fan through the Armand hammer album parrafin. I’m late but I’m so glad I discovered you billy woods. You Stay on another level and keep doing your thing.✊🏿
Strongly agree. On another note, holy shit it's Dijon!? Thank you so much for putting Absolutely out into the world. It's been in my regular rotation for a solid year or so.
DOOM was popular when he first came out tho. mad villian came out in like 2004 and that album was super popular (with people who like that kinda hip hop), I remember buying his first albums when I was in high school early 2000s and a lotta other people were into underground hip hop like that.
Do some reading on genius, or just look up some of the names of the events he talks about like tora bora in the chorus. Some of his references are crazy like I’ve never even heard of tora bora
This man Billy is absolutely a genius!!! So poetic!! Unbelievable how incredible of a writer Billy is!! And Kenny is such a dope producer!!! Their chemistry is amazing!!!!
This album specifically is my favorite ever. Haven't heard anything that speaks to the feelings of hopelessness I have for the state of the world that live in my mind that I feel unable to express.
Mega Aesop Rock fan, but when I found Woods through Your Old Droog, it was almost like finding the god damn arc of the covenant. Woods, Milo, and Ka are my holy trinity right now, and Elucid's the fuckin' pope. Haven't listened to much else in months.
The first four songs on Hideout are unassailable. Also shoutout to Kenny Segal for some dope fucking beats. I love the way they interlock, building on each other throughout the album.
Never, ever, ever thought I'd see Billy Woods in Perth, Western Australia but caught him earlier this year and he played this live. Absolutely awesome track. Billy Woods is on another level...
Hiding Places and he's got that "Fort Byers" ass wooden shanty in the woods from Stranger Things this whole LP is literature. Shakespeare, y'all. once you let all the lyrics wash over you
I'm here because blockhead made a song featuring aesop rock, and I listened to him(and armand hammer) and others on blockhead's album. I'm embarrassed it took me this long to get up on this!
@@mohammadshabih5293 listen to the whole ny hip hop collective! Mach-Hommy, Pink Siifu, Akai Solo, Demahjiae (oakland), OVRKAST, MAXO. I been listening to all these guys and can safely say theyre carrying the hip hop canon right now.
in the age, when i just can't trust a modern book, movie or a radio song no more, Woods - is one of the reason to stay, when I wake up, listen to my favourite hip-hop songs and thinks - its all make sense. Its all dies and we are among aurora borealis witnesses. Shit.

100
This album is a 10.
For real. A lot of his music makes me feel like I'm watching a movie. Usually a really depressing movie but yeah...
Y'all should check out Mach Hommy
Anyone else get a mild existential crisis listening to Billy Woods?
you don't get what he's saying if that don't cause that kind of reaction when you listen to woods
Mild?
@@crooked5812 i don't get more than half of what he's saying & i still experience that existential crisis, simply because i know im too ignorant to understand the deepest lyrics but also still know that it must be powerful as FUCK
Facts
He is real ill
Kenny Segal’s drums are not Quantized, and presently that gives me Purpose
milo. damn forgot about milo
Ghostie Mostly b
I've heard that his drums are like dropping desks.
"Kenny Segals Drums Sound Like He's Dropping Desks"
just like J Dilla used to do
"Lost no sleep over the fate of your white farm
What goes come back around
So when they came for me, I wasn't alarmed
Get fished out the hole like Sadam
Tough guys won't go alive, get found unarmed"
Shit.
It’s nice to see woods still killing it. I remember making that petition to get History Will Absolve Me pressed on vinyl, amazing how it all happened.
They just very recently put HWAM on bandcamp like seriously 2 weeks ago
You’re a legend for such a thing man.
Youre a fuckin juggernaut
We need another petition for a repress because it goes for like 200 bucks on discogs.
You are a hip hop activist? For real? I love this dude 💖
5 years late, but better late than never.... holy shit this track is incredible
This album is incredible, start to finish. I'm sure you've figured that out on your own by now though. Highly recommend Aethiopes after that.
hope a kid accidentaly clicks on the video while searching for spongebob clips..
And then 1:54 plays like "DUMMY"
marketing genius
Put himself onto some real shit

I don't feel like you can compare Billy woods to MF DOOM at all, they both are in a different equally great lane.
@@enriquealejo7715billy and kenny are the new doom and madlib.
Til this day my one of my favorite bars of all time “Too scared to write the book, took it, put it in the hook
Of a song, no one listened to it, looks like I wasn't wrong
Hid it where they wouldn't look,”
I became a fan through the Armand hammer album parrafin. I’m late but I’m so glad I discovered you billy woods. You Stay on another level and keep doing your thing.✊🏿
This whole album gives me 'so the flies don't come' vibes... Love it
Produced by Kenny Segal, who also produced most of not if not all of stfdc
i don't even know what the means but yeah same here
best writer out rn damn
Hello The Dress singer Dijon
Strongly agree. On another note, holy shit it's Dijon!? Thank you so much for putting Absolutely out into the world. It's been in my regular rotation for a solid year or so.
This whole album is unbelievably good and this is the type of video I live for one of my favorite tracks on the record.
great track love the warped guitar
The type of artist that'll only get famous 10 years from now, like MF DOOM.
Nah this album was rated as one of the best release of 2019...So I don't think so.
@@Lolife86 yet its still relatively unknown
TG 125 not really, billy woods is underground there’s a difference u herb
DOOM was popular when he first came out tho. mad villian came out in like 2004 and that album was super popular (with people who like that kinda hip hop), I remember buying his first albums when I was in high school early 2000s and a lotta other people were into underground hip hop like that.
@Tangerine Roche so fucking unknown still, shit. I first found about Billy Woods from his features on Vordul Mega's albums.
This is pure genius.
First time hearing of B.W.......A lot of bars going over my head
Yo, you sleeping on him. Woods is the best.
Do some reading on genius, or just look up some of the names of the events he talks about like tora bora in the chorus. Some of his references are crazy like I’ve never even heard of tora bora
How does he keep putting out such amazing stuff? Criminally underrated
experience
This man Billy is absolutely a genius!!! So poetic!! Unbelievable how incredible of a writer Billy is!! And Kenny is such a dope producer!!! Their chemistry is amazing!!!!
first time listening to this guy i like this
Greatest lyricist I've ever heard, and it's not even fucking close. You're in for a treat if you keep digging!
This album specifically is my favorite ever. Haven't heard anything that speaks to the feelings of hopelessness I have for the state of the world that live in my mind that I feel unable to express.
One the greatest Albums ever made.
Unbelievable tune, I've been listening to him non-stop all year and am seeing him on November 10th in London. Gonna be unreal to see live
One of the best artists of the decade. I’ll never forget the first time i heard hiding places
Billy is something special
This is that eternity music.
Every single track on this record is perfect
Mega Aesop Rock fan, but when I found Woods through Your Old Droog, it was almost like finding the god damn arc of the covenant.
Woods, Milo, and Ka are my holy trinity right now, and Elucid's the fuckin' pope. Haven't listened to much else in months.
This whole album is so good bruh
I am addicted to these flows and raps lol. Those grungy instrumentals. The best
Billy Woods on another level, ALWAYS.
Never has a music video made me like a song more... until I saw this
His delivery is so good
Can we talk about THIS BEAT
This song is too relatable, i feel each guitar fray in my heart, more or less my heart can hear it, it changes beat faster than people changed on me
What did I just clicked on?? Time to dive in this rabbit hole and not look back cause this shit is crazy🔥🔥🔥
The first four songs on Hideout are unassailable. Also shoutout to Kenny Segal for some dope fucking beats. I love the way they interlock, building on each other throughout the album.
Discovered this artist on Soundcloud last week and had 3 of his albums on loop since. Words don't do it justice how good it is. Just incredible.
Has to be one of the best rappers of the decade
Update: Back in February (now June 20) I met Armand Hammer at their show in Jersey City and had a good talk with them.
That 2nd verse was something else…
Billy Woods makes me cry for how good a rapper he is in comparison to how underrated he is
everytime I hear him get that flow I expect him to say something about Mugabe. he bought them vowels in advance vagabond well versed and rehearsed
straight to my favs
This is that shit!!! ...and that "You Promised" hook!!! dayum!
Never, ever, ever thought I'd see Billy Woods in Perth, Western Australia but caught him earlier this year and he played this live. Absolutely awesome track. Billy Woods is on another level...
How come I never heard of this dude.
Hiding Places
and he's got that "Fort Byers" ass wooden shanty in the woods from Stranger Things
this whole LP is literature. Shakespeare, y'all. once you let all the lyrics wash over you
Dang, I am late to this this is fire !!
woods jst keeps getting better! Salute
cant wait, this 5 year repress is out now!
This is so good !!! I can’t express that enouy
The SpongeBob hook is amazing
This track is so dam dope, I’ve been messing with Woods ever since the Reavers album.
amazing.
"Mother fucker you promised. You promised" is engrained into my mind
My favourite cru of all time ❤😊 Dope one Billy
This track is everything rn
an masterpiece of a song off a truly phenomenal album
Earls new interview with his mom brought me here
Same😂
Weird but everyone here is welcomed
"History will absolve me" brought me here
@@Gpantis not at all lol

Goddamn this album is a masterpiece
So hype to see this live in Boston!

Thanks for reminding me that I’m sane. Also thank for the scribe that 45 hasn’t left the table
Magical
this ish hit my soul
woods is the James Joyce of hiphop
thomas Hardy
I was just thinking that holy shit it’s true
Yeet
I had the same thought, similarly densely layered in his thoughts
cormac mccarthy
Awesome work.
Among the best releases 2019
Greatest Rapper Alive
Woods is the best rapper of the 2010's
FANKANable him or Elucid
He’s in the top 5 no doubt Jakprogresso, Kool Keith, Doom, Woods, Boxguts.
Facts
Huh?
Personal GOAT
billy woods known to let his soul fly
Brilliant really
Title “hiding places” is embodied in this video
He will be so much more famous in a few years
I'm here because blockhead made a song featuring aesop rock, and I listened to him(and armand hammer) and others on blockhead's album. I'm embarrassed it took me this long to get up on this!
Who gives uh fuck who u r. nevermind why ur here bro shhhh
@@alldogsgoheaven harsh, man. Calm your titties
That Billy Woods verse on Slippery Slope is ill af. "Watch the cats watch the mice"!
Aoty for me so far. Gonna be hard to top this

Huge fan of this album
I bummed out a house party by rapping this song karaoke on New Year's Eve 2019, and then everything went to shit
They oughtta be thanking you
I love killing party vibes with good music
Yooooooooo
I applaud you for trying. A good DJ knows what pleases the masses. A spurned DJ don't care 'bout their dumb asses.
Bruh u can’t be playing this at a party💀
I came from Fantano's "the 55 best rappers of all time" and I'm here to stay forever.
in the age, when i just can't trust a modern book, movie or a radio song no more, Woods - is one of the reason to stay, when I wake up, listen to my favourite hip-hop songs and thinks - its all make sense. Its all dies and we are among aurora borealis witnesses. Shit.

As impressive as that rhyme scheme is "Your days feel rehearsed, nights come back in short bursts" hits harder, imo.

@@liamobrien6044 My bad, the line in general.
nice, thanks
very menacing track - every word is accountable ! 🔥
Good stuff.
Proud to say that this and Doomsday are the only songs I know word for word
