The flashbacks to Earl and Navy Blue as kids made me want to cry
They thrown that video back multiple times musta been good day in front of 7/11. Lmao
Deadass my man. Crazy to see how far they've come
Same

@@TheSeaBase lol fr musta been sum fun lurking
Wholesome to see Earl smile
he smiles all the time lol
No lie
@@Kay-zv3lr everyone acts like it’s still 2013 lol
@@drolx2102 did you listen to srs? lol
@@Srvtnc srs very happy
The way Earl and Navy trade off bars it’s like two best friends who can finish each other’s sentences seamlessly
It's cause they've been homies since they were young kids haha it's rad to see how far they've both come
Rare to see chemistry in the selfish divide and conquer era
@@montysimms6136 FACTS
Took the words out of my mouth. Thought the same thing
Styles and Jada vibes
if you come from having depression while listening to Some Rap Songs to getting good through time while listening to FEET OF CLAY to getting better and feeling that everything will keep improving for the better. Yeah this song hits you hard because you feel like you have been growing with Earl and every song that he drops will accompany you through your journey at life
❤️
!!
yh definitely
booba
You put it all into words. Thank you so much. This really how the timeline happened for me. Coming out of that murkiness and getting happier with Feet of Clay to this track and all the improvements I've made in myself since Some Rap Songs. Fuck, i'm speechless even now.
These dudes grew musically physically and mentally love to see it
totally, and the video is a perfect embodiment of that. physically and spiritually showing their journey to maturity together.
i'd hope that they grew physically as time goes on lmao
@@jadenredd Ive done some research, and am 65% sure they have grown physically, maybe not though.
Same. It’s inspiring honestly not even being cliche
@@jadenredd 😂 😂
The transition from them as kids to the present was so cold
on everything
Brought chills
😂
i just noticed this
huh
This song literally screams “we made it” and straight victory in a very triumphal way
Earl and Navy just need to drop an album together, the chemistry is too much
So hyped to see Earl with a little hardness In his voice.
yooo true
bro straight tf up let’s go
Yup the articulation is preferred
yessir
Pause
Music like this keeps the Villain alive. Thank you, men.
🙌🏻

Stop .... Just stop your putting tears in my eye. ..... I still miss him. Everything you say is true

"I want to go to Africa" so subtle yet so powerful

Truly
🇿🇦
“Hi” so subtle yet so powerful
In what way?
The producer responsible for the most sleepless nights and career changes in others....The Alchemist
AMEN
Alchemist made Riff Raff sound like a fuckin lyrical genius on Bird on a Wire hahaha
@@NOVAsteamed I think Harry Fraud did the prod.
@@NOVAsteamed Preach my broda preach
@@L_oran ur right, fraud was on one at that time
Getting Black Star vibes. A Navy Blue/Earl album would cleanse so many souls
It's what the culture needs! I'd even go as far as adding Mavi and MIKE; The Fab Four of hip-hop

@@theherbpuffer don’t be saying things. We not worthy smh
@@theherbpuffer at the very least MIKE needs a few features on there.
Hit the shower
Earl and Navy are such a strong duo. Alchemist is just the cherry on top.
i see you, but Al deserves more credit than that man
@@triplethraet fr ALC is such a dope producer
JUST the cherry?
@@newport2348 the run he’s on as a producer is unparalleled
Other way around

Accurate af
true indeed!
The Never Ending Story sample Says so much about ESS and Navy
“We the best till we good and gone”
Don’t even play with me like that earl.
The Alchemist is one of the select few who can consistently drop and all of it be fuego! GIVE THIS MAN THE RESPECT HE DESERVES
@@dydinie1684 salame
Word UP!
He’s gotten a lot of respect. Grammy nominated multiple times and has been recognized by the best and worked with at the highest level in hip-hop. So what the fuck are you talking about? Did you just discover this man? His production on this track is great, to the point that it’s as expected but these 2 sherms makes this shit boring and monotonous. This has to be a filler song to some greater project. Earl is corny af. Cut your hair you bum, you’ll never grow a proper mustache and wtf is that beard? Who tf is navy blue? Some low end crip? gtfoh! I love this beat, hate these 2 dickheads.
@@fairhill2612 Get that hate out your heart
Fr all the way back from Covert Coupe with Curren$y
Alchemist never disappoints. Never.
Ever
I agree but I do wish this track had drums.
@@RjGTWO woulda ruined it... That Jon is perfect.
@@RjGTWO alchemist doesn’t seem to wanna do drums anymore. Lol
@@hadesBOLT Damn Im high af I didnt even realize it didnt have drums after hearing the whole song twice till I read that comment
I need that ending on a loop, can't explain the emotion I feel but it's wonderful
Sure is!
sample for you cats ruclips.net/video/iuPG_87T7xE/видео.html
Somebody tell me the sample
navy blue rap like a ghost and earl raps like a spirit. if that makes sense. i love it
Man that edit at 1:12 really made me nostalgic. I grew up on Odd Future and remember watching their old skate videos. Crazy to see these two men evolve into the creative forces they are today
Turning 23 this summer. Shit hit hard
@@Pilzefresser I just turned 24 i’m right there with u. OF ruled my middle school/high school days lol
Yessir goin on 22, middle school OF era was the shit. I remember those days so fondly.
@@JoseRamirez-lo1pi no fn way I just stay and accept being weird cause of em
@@JoseRamirez-lo1pi hope you’re doin well homie, I had plenty of friends who didn’t graduate and they’re better than ever now.
Been telling y’all the day earl raps with some emotion it’s over for the entire rap game
😭it's funny how I understand this completely. SRS & FOC definitely lacked that extra vibe
@@bruhcomeon. nah SRS had emotion
Earl is literally the most emotional rapper tho what
@@trunklemcjeans exactly bro niggas acting like earl didn't make grief
@@punch444 yall know those unreleased joints hit on a different scale. Once earl can bring that to cdq, he's the best, no buts about in my very biased opinion. I think that's what he meant by emotion.
"I do less before I stretch I hit the bar....pull up" god damn earl
They crazy. This sounds like a straight classic from a past decade to me
for real. Insane how timeless it sounds
Yep
That flash back to them being kids at the same corner store is just golden
Word right
@@DiceB its dope cause i remember back when that video was posted on youtube, its still up to this day
Watching the Alchemist over the last 20 years has been like watching a wizard perfect his craft . The best producer in the game right now
Hes no longer a producer hes simply a alchemist
Facts 🐐
Him, Flying Lotus and Madlib
I like knxwledge
alan the chemist , was # 1 in my book since i first heard of him , guess my choice was mos definetly right.
I shed a tear watching this shit earl smiling something different mannnnnn
From the bottom of my heart, how could a single soul thumbs down this masterpiece
Seriously
Nah this back to back flow though 😫😫😫
I love it when two rappers both got lyrics and go back to back like this
Exactly!
Bro then I gotta put you on, look for videos of jazz artists having a musical conversation they trade every few bars and it’s crazy cool
@@Ian-bt8dz got a link?
it's so good to watch and listen for that
“Upstate 2 queens” by 38 spesh and kool g rap would be a good one to check out
This like the prequel to the Caliphate
if Navy was on Caliphate 👀
Something about this song heals me.
I turned 30 today (I guess yesterday now) and felt bummed cause I was thinking my youth officially Hit the exit.
My late teens to 20’s I grew up listening to OF and always got a sense of happiness from the crews creative growth.
I couldn’t be more hopeful and spiritually lifted for the future hearing this right now, this track is special. Thanks Earl, Blue and everybody’s pal, Al.
Still got so many years ahead of you.
Im 30 in August.
Rip old man...jk im 34 my life began at 30
Keep your physical wellness up and make sure to be able to keep on. Keep your condition up . Imagine the 60 yr old wishes to be you with the knowledge he has. Do the shit you been saying you want to do Frfr. I’m turning 25 myself in a couple days.
I turned 30 this year too, and I never felt more comfortable and confident in myself my teens and 20s was cool but this is when you really start to fully figure yourself out. Or at least you should.
"Life's sweet when you know the cost."
Thousand yard stare, I was looking sauced 🥴
@@victormtolo178 smoked his car
I really ask myself if Sage knows how privileged he is. Being a pro, growing up the way he did with skating, and with all that skating he got out of it well, being healthy, having creative friends like Earls and Alc, etc etc. It's insane.
MashaAllah. (Which means May god bless it for him).
ITS BACK ON STREAMING SERVICES!!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Oh mama 🥺
FOUND YOU
HELLO BANDSTAND
Sample guy
Do a vid for this project 🙌
@@acunacorporations In time 🤝
Wow, haven’t seen that clip of young Earl and Sage in quite some time
Back for my 50th listen
100 times for me
[Intro: The Neverending Story Sample]
Everyone knew that whoever let the sadness overtake him
Would sink into the swamp
Hi
And the same time, elsewhere in fantasia
A creature of darkness also began his quest
[Verse 1: Navy Blue & Earl Sweatshirt]
Depths of the man that I was from the start
Stay next to the fam, got a place in my heart chest
Breath on demand
The rest of the plan got scrapped when I landed, invested in arts
I do less when I stretch 'fore I hit the bar
Pull up, Tan Cress' on the shoulder of the coat of arms
Told you we the best 'til we good and gone
Yeah, love shared it was both ours
The same prayer like more dark
Blood in the water when I go to wash
Life sweet when you know the cost
Thousand-yard stare, I was looking sauced
Smoker's cough, ash in the air
Not scared when we send 'em off
That's life, black plight, can't get along
Not alone
[Interlude: Sample 1]
But there might be one chant[Interlude: Sample 1]
But there might be one chant
[Verse 2: Earl Sweatshirt & Navy Blue, The Neverending Story Sample]
Tandem remarks, who the fuck playing like the brand isn't strong
In the globe cold, that the pharaoh hand sitting on
My ass in the throne
We running these checks and balances, on fam
Check sits, dashes at home (Want to go to Africa)
Hard work, callous the palm, that isn't wrong
Soul battered and grown, sadness is gone
[Outro: The Neverending Story Sample, Sample 2, Sample 3]
Everyone knew that whoever let the sadness overtake him
Would sink into the swamp
It's the music of the earth
The music of the sun, and the stars
The music of yourself, vibrating
Yes, you’re music too
You’re all instruments
Everyone's supposed to be playing their part
In this vast arkestry of the cosmos
[?] bring tomorrow
[?]
Last Part is Sun Ra talking...
I think in his movie Space is the place...
Sun Ra one of the favorites of Madlib...
Namaste Haribol Asewe!!
I needed to hear some Earl today man
No cap
Facts
On g
Everyday I keep an eye out for Earl
Really hurting right now
Alchemist is working overtime this year and I've loved every track
Deadass
And last year he been on one. Credits on errthang
Me too
The real ones know that track was the SHIT and seems like there is a clearing sample issue and the track is not on Spotify anymore. I POUR ONE FOR THE REAL ONES
Edit: IT'S BACK. SADNESS GONE
Came to this vid specifically because its gone from Spotify, fucking tragedy
They stripped it off Apple Music too🤦🏽♂️
Rip
It’s back up on streaming services
Damn he doesn’t even need to drop drums in there - this dude is inspiring, ever evolving and got to be one of the best hip hop producers out there currently. Earl and Navy float back and forth on that incredible loop.
Navy Blue miming Earl's verse(s) is so wholesome!
but navy was rappin first
@@crishcrish8212 bra he talkin about 1:20
they both did it
This album is about to be on repeat for a while I can already tell
for a fucking while bro.
Everyone knew that whoever let the sadness overtake him,
Would sink into swamp.
It’s back on Spotify🙏🏾‼️‼️
I wasn't even a part of the early OF days but damn, when it flashed back to him as a kid, that shit made me nostalgic for shit I shouldn't even be nostalgic over. Stoked for this new project.
It was definitely lightning in a bottle. But old skate clips remind of of a simpler time when it was just the boy's sipping Arizona teas skating in the driveway with music out the car kinda vibes
Yo it's Jackson burns
Hellos
i felt this
"I do less when I stretch 'fore I hit the bar" 🔥🔥
what does this mean brodie?
@@kuyandakala4623 don't prep, just do
What Brandon said but also in a literal sense, stretching before weightlifting exercise has shown a decrease in weight output
@@splatgeo ohhh shit Earl is one clever ass wordsmith
@@kuyandakala4623 doing less before he goes to the bar to drink so hes not sweaty after a workout
we gotta get these samples cleared so i can listen to this again on streaming services, literally song of the year.
It's back on Spotify
not tryna be corny but this music really touches my soullllll!!
1:11 damn this shot is crazy. nostalgia captured perfectly
watched about like 46 or 47 times, this shit is a masterpiece both visual and musical.

That’s rookie numbers bro I’m at like 300*
@@mclovin9283 I know you're joking, but you probably shouldn't overplay good music. It might over time lose its shine
Shrek Junior I’ve played earls music over and over and still have the same reaction to his music. Trust bro this will never get old to me💯
@@mclovin9283 K, I'll trust you and indulge more into Earls music 👍
I cant get enough of this song , every time i listen i discover peace inside me again. Al is the man 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Add this back to streaming services I beg
the Sun Ra Sample made this track even more magical
Bruh when i heard the Sun Ra sample i flipped i just watched it last month too. The movie has never been more relevant..
@@thepervertedmonk2353 I also watched the movie recently it’s a timeless motion picture
Link to it?
Whats the sample?
Jazz is the key to all sounds
earl sound and look so happy man. love to see it.
everyone knew that whoever let the sadness overtake him would sink
Alc dedication to his craft is the last we are gonna see as far as diversity in sounds and rhythms and how deep one digs for them (talking vinyls from around the world from diff periods of time)
We are truly blessed to be in this lifetime
Its glad to see earl rapping about not selling his soul. DMX would be proud.
when did he do that
DMX has a album cover with him literally bathed in blood. He's rapped about selling his soul multiple times. I fuck with DMX but open your eyes.
@@thelistener2909 same pfp
What Earl verses are you listenin' to??
what are you talking bout big dawg
This song feels like you’re having a coming of age story. Powerful shit mane.
Kinda is for many of us
The last 50 seconds, around 1:56 onwards, sounds so heavenly and I can’t describe it 😅
Rumour has it one time Oloff was sat next to Jar Jar Binks on a flight. Jar Jar kept kicking the chair in front of him and generally being obnoxious, nobody knew what to do. Eventually one of the flight attendants came over and asked Oloff if he would perform one of his songs to calm Jar Jar down, and when Oloff began rapping the first verse to Doing It Stealthy, Jar Jar immediately relaxed. To this day the two are still close friends.
thousand yard stare I was lookin sauced 🔥
Seeing earl smile give me butterflies while he’s spitting some crazy spoken word
TIP FOR THOSE OF THE REUPLOAD ON NOBLES:
When you finally hear Nobles on streaming services after being taken down without any reason (probably sample clearances, including the mention of The Beatles sample). It was actually the Sun Ra sample not being cleared, however, the Sun Ra dialogue is removed.
Yessir!
You don't even know, that's the official word up in the town, ya heard?
This video deserves a grammy
Short quick but so meaning full and hAs that classic feel
Navy Blue has BEEN that dude. He and Earl go way back.
Alchemist can make me like any rapper
1:56 that beat
The Sun Ra snippet 🔥
What's the sample called from sun ra?
Do you know where exactly its from
EARL'S SMILE IS SO GENUINE.😭🥺❤️ MAKES ME TEAR UP
Update: crying bc the clip as kids
Different vibe, this is mature. This was great.
Never-ending Story sample at the beginning and half way through
These colours cosmic! Earl grey and navy blue over alchemical mixtures.... forget about it - brilliant!
Omgggg they go back to back, and the old clip, and earl smiling.
“LIFE SWEET WHEN YOU KNOW THE CAUSE”
The only crime is that this song isn’t longer… this shit is straight 🔥
That never ending story snippet took me way back
facts! real nostalgia!
real life crying to how beautiful this is
"I do less when I stretch before I hit a bar .... pull up" nice 🔥
i love that bar too
The song is back on streaming services
Undegound kings ! Cant wait for the collab project !
well they're both really well known, alchemist being grammy nominated

This whole thing is the epitome of nostalgic.
This rarely happens but i like this song on the first listen. which is super rare for me.
Bruh earl is so good and alchemist production never misses this on repeat all day
i thought he was real dope wit doris, he kinda declined wit idlsidgo & srs. their not bad albums but they ain't up there wit doris really.
@@mysteriousgamer8941 I could see why someone who wouldn’t like them but srs>idlsidgo>Doris
@@NIGARID for u, arguably doris is earl's best work amongst heads.
@@mysteriousgamer8941 most earl fans hold srs as his best. Heads only care about lyrics, artists like earl or mike don't really fit a traditional framework for critique. You can make whatever value judgement you want but we have a distinct sound to connect to earl's current artistic sensibilities, a whole wave coming to be, and I don't imagine that sound appeals to most heads in the first place. I think they have limited authority here.
Earl hasn't sounded so lively in a while
NOBLES IS BACK ON SPOTIFY
The sample sounds like it's pulled from some moment of resolve in DBZ or something. It just gives me these "It's only gonna get harder from here on out, but we're getting stronger every day, so we'll get through it" kind of vibes, and I'm totally here for it.
It's The Long and Winding Road by the Beatles.
I've watched this so many times since the drop
true poetry. every bar feels smooth to the ears
This man spitting scriptures
Lmao facts
They sound so similar & the fact they grew up together is awesome!
