ive been listening to him for years now and im so happy hes getting this amount of attention, i share him w as many ppl as possible but this new album has really made his fanbase increase
Same too but what is really annoying is the fact the attention he got now is from people from tiktok that only know bad habit and nothing else and there are people making fun of him for things to do with it and it’s like bro come on if only you knew him way back fr 🥲
@@beblue3119 i’ve been listening to this album non stop for months and i’m not bored of it. For me there isn’t even 1 stand out song but buttons, sunshine, static, bat habit, mercury and helmet just hit so crazy good
Honestly im disapointed i didnt hear about Steve Lacy before this album because his whole career is amazing and im so excited to see what he comes out with in the future. This album came out at such a perfect time for me and its got to already be one of my favourite albums of all time its just spectacular and as a aspiring musician has inspired me so much especially as he produced and makes a lot of his tracks most by himself.
yeah i kinda hated that alot of new fans didnt get to experience him on egodeath he is one of the most talented Musicians and Producers of this generation
@@burtdagod6272 Palace/Curse is amazing ive dived as far as i can back through his career to find everything he made to try make up for what i missed and i’m in love with his style
I've been with Steve since I was in middle school listening to "Steve Lacy's Demos" and finding out about him through Tyler's Flowerboy album and the band The Internet. I'm happy he's finally getting the recognition he deserves, and I'm excited to see his evolution.
i have been listening to him for about 3-4 years and I'm disappointed that people haven't noticed him before. sure people loved dark red but he is honestly so talented and has to be one of the best music producers out here today.
@@fiawms LMFAO okay good attempt on the "im so different, social norms dont affect me" but representation matters - this has been proven a million times already. this comment just further confirms the comfort in seeing the things you feel and experience are "normal" and not things to feel shame for
@@fiawms i put normal in quotations because nothing is normal and whats "normal" is constantly changing. im bi myself, so spare me the "different sexualities are normal" speech. this has absolutely nothing to do with homophobia and everything to do with the fact that it is comforting to see people in power, in music, in anywhere being openly gay or bisexual is comforting when youre used to all those people being in straight marriages. its not about "caring what celebrities do" or "being a fan". piss off with this offensive attitude
@@inge76 lol please just shut up. You can’t talk about facts without acknowledging that no 2 people are the same and different humans have different social responses
@@lunchablespizza7035 for the last time: representation matters. this is not a matter of opinion or different social norms or anything. its a scientific fact. google is free. people pointing out the comfort in representation is not weird. no matter how secure or unaffected you for some reason think you are. goodluck on this opinion though! its all yours bud
Saw Steve live at Coachella 2022 where he played some songs off of Gemini Rights (when it still wasn’t released) and it was absolutely magical. If you can, attend one of his shows. He is a MUSICIAN! He played guitar, bass, and sang beautifully throughout the whole set. Peace
Videos like these make me wanna relisten to an album all over again! It’s so cool seeing people that admire Steve as much as I do. He’s so talented! Great video!
Everyone that likes Steve Lacy, should also check out Ravyn Lenae who he has collaborated with and produced for many times (Especially Sticky, Skin Tight, 4 Leaf Clover, the whole "Crush" album basically...) - she's amazing!
This album is absolutely incredible. Truly a timeless masterpiece. I haven’t liked an album so much I know it from top to bottom by heart since Acid Rap (maybe A Seat at the Table too). Came out in a year with lots of other (very good) bigger name releases, but I hope as time passes Gemini Rights will be widely recognized for the work of art it truly is. Type of album that makes me wish I played & produced music myself for the sheer satisfaction of building something so perfect and sharing it with the world. Thank you Steve
Helmet is my favorite on the album. The rain in the background, and the instrumental along with the subject matter of the song. It really spoke to me as someone whose been there before. That feeling of losing love for someone who you just can’t love anymore but still holding on. I’ve never seen a piece of work portray that in such a realistic way.
Steve is the kind of success story that encourages me as a underground artist with a small following. Seeing how he’s developed his skills and slowly blown up after seizing each and every opportunity he’s been giving has been inspirational! Mans has quickly become a mainstay in the industry and for good reason. Dude is too nice! I know if I put in the work, I can reach a larger audience some day too, but for now, I’m happy being a supporter. My turn will come too. Salute to Steve Lacy🔥
what you said about it having many textures and sounding like its from a 70's r&b album is the most factual thing ive ever heard. the most accurate summary of it ive ever heard.
I have been a fan of Steve Lacy since 2017 and he has come a long way. I hate that his genius isn't truly recognized by new fans. All his albums have been amazing but this one is the ONE. I hope that he gets the recognition he deserves and not just fake fans who just recognize him for Bad Habit and the tik tok craze.
I fully agree with the "critics and interviewers only caring about sexuality" thing being super weird. Unfortunately, it's just what draws the most attention :/
I’ve heard one of his song before but I never tried to know more of him, until this year, I heard more songs and definitely he is now one of my favorite artists
Steve Lacy is great and hope his successes go even further.I can't believe he produced albums while he was a teenager is impressive. Sure he wasn't the only person doing it before adulthood but that shows he has built experience with his craft.Also it annoys me once artists like him or Tyler the Creator come out,media press them on their sexuality in their music more than anything else.
i know Steve Lacy since forever and he s always been on top of the game. I also feel sad cuz tik tok did its thing, but now he gets the recognition he deserves.
He is so so talented I'm so happy he came back when he did with this amazing project I loved him in the internet so happy him and Syd are doing amazing and other members
encountered Bad Habit early July and I became obsessed, 'cause I'd just found out this girl I liked also liked me back but we ended up with different people. I was taking it at face value obviously. but then I heard to Static, that's when I became a fan. Like I listen to his full catalogue on Spotify at least once every week. It's not healthy. \\
It’s so great seeing such a talented musician these days. One of my favorite quotes I say is “it’s great seeing a musician that is actually a musician”
This album is absolutely incredible. Truly a timeless masterpiece. I haven’t liked an album so much I know it from top to bottom by heart since Acid Rap (maybe A Seat at the Table too).

I am honestly so glad I found this video. The whole album is just so good. I love your take on it. And I couldn’t agree more with the things you say about each song lolol 😭 You literally have each thoughts I got. The groove of helmet, the “fucking yourself” line on static, the guitar solo at the end of sunshine 😩 And omg the influences of give you the world. I listened to that one nonstop because of the feel of it. 😌 Helmet ong my favorite track tho. Idk, it just always has me in the mood for it. But anyway shout out to you for making this vid. Loved it.
I kinda made up my mind about him before hearing things about his true talent and artistry that I wish I would’ve heard sooner. I simply thought that because he was big on tiktok, that he only had one good song or part of a song. This video really changed my opinion about him.
I have to say that I dismissed this album on upon my first listen. But following your video I went back to it and loved it! Thank you for the background on this artist and the album. Well done 👏🏾
You should make a vid on billy woods Aethiopes if you really dissect that album, shits got so many double entendres and references so much history that I never learned about in school. Amazing album my personal favorite of the year.
gemini rights and renaissance by beyonce are my two favorite albums of the year. have u listened to renaissance yet? i would love for you to do a deep dive on it!
The majority of Steve’s genius comes from his music production- if you were to analyse his guitar chords, they’re incredibly complex. I’d love to see a video sometime that actually delves into this
@@llsnickers2372 They can be repetitive but there are certainly are some stand out moments. I particularly like the chord progression on the second half of bad habit, especially how he used that flat 6. Not the fanciest thing ever but better than just four chords that switch every bar.
im glad hes finally blowing up, but ngl apollo and Lo-Fis IMO, are way better projects. If you guys like the guitar solo on sunshine listen to lay me down on apollo. Ur ears will quite literally have an orgasm. headphone recommended.
ive been listening to him for years now and im so happy hes getting this amount of attention, i share him w as many ppl as possible but this new album has really made his fanbase increase
the meat riding is incredible
We thank u for supporting his career all the way to his success. Thank you
Meat riding is crzy
Same too but what is really annoying is the fact the attention he got now is from people from tiktok that only know bad habit and nothing else and there are people making fun of him for things to do with it and it’s like bro come on if only you knew him way back fr 🥲
Bro how tf is this meatriding?
He is just congratulating Steve for making it this far
Bad habits is a great song but I prefer to hear "I give you the world" on repeat ...that song just puts me in a daze
is that a daze reference from his mixtape the lo fis
has to be
Listen to "prototype" OutKast and "take me where your heart is" by Q
Right ! Best song on the album !!
Helmet🔥🔥
i thought i was the only one who absolutely loved that guitar solo in sunshine it’s actually incredible
it really is. thats one of my fav moments on the album
That guitar solo in sunshine is fr my favorite part of the album...I haven't gotten tired of it, sunshine as a song is so timeless
sunshine is literally one of the songs I have never gotten bored of it just sounds so good

You definitely got to check out his soundcloud era. It's really tight. A bunch of short and sweet instrumentals
oh boy if you found him during dark red, that shit was to mess with for sure

I fully agree with the "critics and interviewers only caring about sexuality" thing being super weird. Unfortunately, it's just what draws the most attention :/
It’s crazy how I’ve listened to Steve for years and he’s just now getting hype
That’s crazy
LITERALLY LIKE HOW DID PEOPLE NOT KNOW HOW GOOD HE IS
I lowkey want him to myself still but highkey want him to win. Glad he's getting his flowers finally
Damn, no one cares🥱
I’ve heard one of his song before but I never tried to know more of him, until this year, I heard more songs and definitely he is now one of my favorite artists
your going crazy with the quality in these videos my man. great work 🤝
Thanks dude more otw

I have this bad habbit of waiting for my favourite artists to drop something and then not having the energy to listen to it.
This video is extremely well done! Keep producing content this was awesome and made me think more things about steve lacy!
I think my favourite song from him would be Mercury, there's something about it I can't put into words
i swear bad habit had like 152 million streams yesterday now it got 185 million lol
This is the video i never knew i wanted to watch
Another rising artist to watch out for.
6:54 I *literally* said the same thing, omg. That song is the Al Green oldie for me
Can we expect a video about My Dear Melancholy and Trilogy by The Weeknd?
dropping bangers consistently
I have to say that I dismissed this album on upon my first listen. But following your video I went back to it and loved it! Thank you for the background on this artist and the album. Well done 👏🏾
found out about steve lacy through flowerboy and honestly love his stuff its so good
You explain a album and songs so much better than these actual critics .
I'm so glad that gemini rights blew up so much.
Am I the only one that hears the cadence of Keith Sweat's Twisted cadence within Steve Lacy's Bad Habits?
I appreciate your love for music.
such a great video, man
Definitely. going to listen to this album tonight because of you. im excited to hear sunshine.
this was recommended to me the same day he bagged a #1 for bad habit!! niceeee
I love Steve lacy!! Also you should do a video on Denzel Curry, his recent album is my personal fav this year and he is so amazing.
"Ego Death" was The Internet's 3rd album
Thank you for clarifying this. I was about to 😄 It was Steve’s first album playing with them.
Literally this whole album breakdown reminds me of Igor and it’s almost like he took tips from Tyler or something
Static is my favorite song bruh I have no clue why it’s so good
you've convinced me to give the album a go.
You should make a vid on billy woods Aethiopes if you really dissect that album, shits got so many double entendres and references so much history that I never learned about in school. Amazing album my personal favorite of the year.
FUCK THANK YOU SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY ACKNOWLEDGES SUNSHINE IT'S SO GOOD IT'S AMAZING LIKE OMG
amazing breakdown!
how did anyone think gemini rights was a coming out album? it’s clearly about break ups apollo xxi was his “coming out” album
He been killing it for years, just great music.
you explained it so WELLL
0:17 bro tried to sneak in god did
Him and Brent Faiyaz have two of the best albums of the year hands down
gemini rights and renaissance by beyonce are my two favorite albums of the year. have u listened to renaissance yet? i would love for you to do a deep dive on it!
Yea I listened to it when it came out but I’ll have to revisit
I just learned that he was still a teenager when The Internet released Ego Death… ironic..
Gemini rights is the best album so far. Even above kendricks.
I laughed when I saw a Dj Khaled album being associated with a good year for music
he is so inspiring and now im in love😍😍🥰
alright I'm sold
I’m glad you like sunshine as much as I do
My second fav album this year
Second to what?
@Acren Studios ok... guess that's fair
Great great analysis
The majority of Steve’s genius comes from his music production- if you were to analyse his guitar chords, they’re incredibly complex. I’d love to see a video sometime that actually delves into this
