listening to this I felt like someone I knew had died, I've watched the dante red project grow, and that was something special for everyone who did. that shit made Eric's career start in the best way it could n even though it has come to an end, we can still remember it by listening to his amazing music ;)
@@us3less745 there's not really a deep backstory, dante is just eric's alter ego, a very angry and agressive one. like a dark side of ericdoa. u can only go on soundcloud if you want to find the dante page wich is "dante red (ericdoa bitcrushed lol)"
The genre is pretty new, so it'll take some time for artist like glaive and eric to get more of a following, and it already has a good start, I think another year that will change.
still cry almost every time i listen. saying goodbye to the pieces of yourself that don’t serve you anymore is so incredibly painful. especially when it’s a part of yourself you truly appreciate and value. growth is a process of loss and recreation, this song embodies that feeling so well.
i thought dante red was just one rapper i never knew this was him fighting about himself i thought it was like arguing about the other rapper being more popular or features but now i understand this shit hit way to hard
Dante Theory: Possibly, Dante will return some day. Eric, in the song, doesn't confirm that Dante is "dead". So, maybe someday, Eric decides to revive the Dante project
this song is so insane and goes so hard every damn listen. truly a musical masterpiece that i will always call my hidden gem until it blows up, because it seriously has the potential to and i hope it does fr
Also my understanding of this: Dante “the red guy” is either a. A close friend he’s known forever or b. His own self is now realizing that Eric “the black guy” is becoming the artist he always wanted to be. But with this dream, a lot of sacrifices come with it. It’s basically saying he’s signing away his talent or some may say “his soul” to a label to finally live the dream he wanted so bad and he tells Dante that this is it. He’s making a sacrifice to leave either his friend or his old self to become this artist he dreamt about. The friend / old self is happy for him but also hates it because he doesn’t want him to change like how these other artists do in the industry. He’s sees that Eric is slowly drifting away and is telling him he hates it. But Eric tells Dante that that’s not the case and tries to tell his side on the story in the song while Dante is trying to say that he thinks Eric will leave him for good. At the end of the song they are both basically promising that they will always be there for each other. Eric agrees that no matter how much the industry will treat him or no matter where he will go, that he promises that he will never switch up and always remember his roots with his best friend / old self being. After reading this, listen to the song with this in mind.
I have actually heard that his label made him have to stop doing this alter ego. So this song actually might be a big fuck you to his label lol. The great thing about songs like this is that their vagueness enables you to insert your own meaning into them. I'm not entirely sure he had just one thing in mind while making the song.
dante is ericdoa, the dante guy is a soundcloud profile that is owned by eric called dante red, its just eric doa with a thing called bitcrush on his vocals, essentially i think the song is about him leaving that style behind, because its too experimental right now and not getting views
@@voodoo5845 thank you holyshit i've been wondering who tf is dante red since i discovered this song, I had a feelin it was him but now it's clear to me.
dante red was his old account where he posted more experimental music, mostly bitcrushed vocals (that's why his voice is distorted). The song is about how Eric blowing up is ultimately severing the ties with this old "friend"
Started following this genre of music when I stumbled upon glaive's cypress grove in Feb of 2021 and ive been hooked on his work since. Then when i started bumping to more of his work collabing with ericdoa i started listening to him too, enjoyed them both a lot the last year or so. Just so happened to get recommended this track on Spotify out of the blue without any clue it was Eric behind it and have been listening to it 24/7 for the last week or so. Feels so weird to have been listening to both of these guys for a good while and I'm only now finding a huge part of this guy's come-up completely backwards. Proud of him for how far he's come, and I'm happy I coincidentally came across a piece of this guy's ongoing history that I can now also jam to and share with buddies
BRO WHY THIS ISNT ON SPOTIFY EVERY DAY SINCE THIS HAS DROPPED IM CHECKING FOR THIS SONG IN SPOTIFY EVERY DAY AND ITS NOT THERE STILL, WHYYYYYYYY??????????? AAAAAHGGG
CLAIMER: I am not Dante red OR Ericdoa. I am just the editor of this video. All song credits go to EricDOA and Dante red (linked in desc). Check him out on SoundCloud!
this hits hard bc my homie i been w for a longg time man recently we been in some stupid ahh drama and its kinna breaking up our friend group and it rlly sucks but in the end we still chill like that, i hope :(
He probably won’t. The only reason he isn’t making dante red is because of his label. They probably won’t put this on Spotify, it’s mainly just the professional music his label funds. He can’t use his old distributor cause the label practically owns him. Happy that he’s making a fuck ton of money, but the label is gonna prevent any of these types of songs being put on all platforms
@@Pawl4k idk, nothing, i love it... its just not eric, its dante. he most likely osnt allowed to release this music anymore nad/or wants to pursue other music
Yuh…love this songb…it captures a very specific struggle we have all been through. Makes me wanna cry, scream, laugh…stopped being friends with my friend since pre school into my late twentys…im the only one that understands your mind…god…ima cry..fuck man..28yrs…fuck man
the lines saying history will repeat itsself and he will come back makes me think dante red will actually come back in another series, maybe like a part 2
this song meant alot more b4 he deleted almost all dante music, almost feels like he doesn't want any memory of the dante era and doesn't appreciate it nearly as much as he did around this songs release, end of a era, truly nothing like it. A piece of art that will fade into nothing but a faint memory as soulless, uninspired, music floods the ears of the next generation. D.A.N.T.E was my favorite song off the tape and I cant even listen to it without going to a archive/reupload page on soundcloud. he cares so little for the character he doesn't even want passive income from legacy streams on some of his biggest tracks
I love what you do Kevin. I’ve been listening to this specific song on your video only, for so long now. Especially when I get my head stuck too deep into creating my music. All my friends have become accidental acquaintances- and I don’t mean for it to be that way. One day I hope that I’m getting something like this of mine made by you. All love- cheybeckk xx

@@jayhabits1440 u were right
the thoughtfulness put into this song is crazy talking to your alter ego makes so many lyrics makes sense in this song
probably the most underrated song i can even think of no cap
ikr
still cry almost every time i listen.
saying goodbye to the pieces of yourself that don’t serve you anymore is so incredibly painful.
especially when it’s a part of yourself you truly appreciate and value.
growth is a process of loss and recreation, this song embodies that feeling so well.
patiently waiting for someone to animate this song with the stick figures going back and forth
dat would be sickkk
@aidan it’s not 2012 move on omg the ds stick wars
@aidan it’s not 2012 move on Yes this ^^^^
Dante gotta be on the offensive the whole time and in the Eric verses def has to be him staying on the defensive
@@barackobama651 yeah eric with like a shield or something
i thought dante red was just one rapper i never knew this was him fighting about himself i thought it was like arguing about the other rapper being more popular or features but now i understand this shit hit way to hard
Just broke me and my best friends relationship of 8 years. This song describes how I feel. Thank you.
I'm sorry for your loss I hope u get over it soon

“history repeat itself. just know i’m coming back.” -dante red
Fast forward to yesterday idk if you saw Eric’s story but he’s basically just confirmed he’s coming back
oh this aged well!
"Back from the dead, isnt this what you asked for?"
@@BLOXXEDD pray dante red comes back
this song is so insane and goes so hard every damn listen. truly a musical masterpiece that i will always call my hidden gem until it blows up, because it seriously has the potential to and i hope it does fr

I love this song Dante Red! 😂❤
its underrated
no way you're here
This song for me is about two having grown apart from one another now coming to explore what they left behind. An accidental reunion of some sort...
Dante coming back
This song is a masterpiece
