I downloaded the studio version of this song out of curiousity, and I ended up liking this version a lot better; it feels so much more genuine without the autotune in the chorus.
Let's just appreciate Them both... comparisons are for competition. That's not what Watsky is about, nor Gambino. Not sure what race has to do with it... Unless you're talking about "Color Lines" a track that tried to express the duality of racial conversations we're afraid to discuss ourselves. "One down ass white boy, can't pay for reperations."
Watsky, you're the only rapper I listen to on a consistent basis. Rap really isn't my thing, and I FUCKING LOVE YOU. Please never change your style. Too many people try to switch up their shit later, and everyone ends up falling off the fan wagon. I supremely heart you!! Keep coming with those beautiful words. You could rap me to sleep *_*
*anxiously waiting at 8 every day for the rest of my life* Watsky you're the best, thank you for showing your talent, creativity, and mind to the world ♡
naw this was good, im just disappointed that he didn't spit it with more soul like he means it so we can feel & truly take in the bars instead of spoken wording it
DUDE >>>>>> you need to do an album or something as I would buy it .... well download lol I love your smooth fast flow and the fact I cant still understand every word..
I don't call this rap. I call this a lyrical masterpiece magically binding with a hype beat. ( feel free to bend that and use that ). But I have too much respect for Watsky, pure talent proven through tracks such as this one
OK now I am convinced RWJ is making some real good cash from these artists. In the last week or so he suddenly starts loving all these songs. Yeah i rate he is making a nice cut. Wow..the powerful force that is internet marketing :)

Heard this song for the first time when I was 18. 5 years later and it's still amazing.
Shannon Schubert I remember listening to him when I was 13 or 12. I still come back to his A new kind of sexy mixtape because it just hits different
Yup, time fly so fast.
Same!
Jesus that's depressing
2024 and this still goes hard

12 years ago… when I was a teenager (,:
Guy keeps me alive. can't wait for October 26th Toronto.
Saw him four days ago. Best night of my life, have fun!!
Baby Watsky!!! I have been listening to this since 2014
Bring back the best fool intuition video! !!!!!!!
Why is the mic dented? Lol
So, Its a minute till midnight andddd thats my que to roll up in my big white vann.
That line just made me listen to this like 83 times.
goodwork
Takes me back to mah highschool crush days
I’m still crushing out here XD
2020 and it’s still a banger
I was just about comment the same thing. I come back to these knocksteady sessions often
he's like the white Gambino lol
Yoooo, great comparison.
+Crucial Raps. No he's not ? Wow. Not even close. They don't rhyme even CLOSE to similar. Plus, watsky was rapping first, so he didn't copy gambino.
+Darrius Taylor Not at all man. In interviews he says his biggest inspiration is Busta Ryhmes
never dude sorry watsky is way greater

dying. so good! love him.
I still listen to this like its a song!
Heard this song 12 years ago thank you watsky 🎉still such a gem so many years later.
He's got flow
Of course RWJ sent us all here. He's promoting good music. So don't hate about how we got here, just be glad more people are listening to good stuff.
anyone else find it funny that the mic is dented on the left side lol
its a U47 mod
You my friend are an inspiration, and that is a bigger achievement than being signed..trust me!
hes like an american mike skinner with cleaner bars.
Gets stuck on my head every time I play it, thats when you know its good!
he has bars tho
*anxiously waiting at 8 every day for the rest of my life* Watsky you're the best, thank you for showing your talent, creativity, and mind to the world ♡
anyone else notice the fucked up mic? lol
That's the point. It's the dented mic. It's basically famous for it. It slightly changes the sounds.
ah ty
What you described is good rap. Rhythm and poetry... Literally.
this was sick! He's one of my favorite poets. And if you've heard his poems, he has a comedic side, which he shows in the chorus. good shit.
watsky is simply the shit.
A lot of gold go show
Omg this is so lame
You're lame
aestheticpardox9 no you're taste is lame
naw this was good, im just disappointed that he didn't spit it with more soul like he means it so we can feel & truly take in the bars instead of spoken wording it
I listen to this everyday. He's awesome
This is so dope, I can't stop listening to it. It's been a week or so since I found it.
2023! This whole page still a bop
Nice podcast man, enjoyed it. Loved the Write your name song. Good work. Wanna hear more Tripmaster Monk though
Even when he's Rapping about kidnapping someone's boyfriend we still get to see the greater meaning in the song what a genius
i just listened to this 10 times in a row.
someone dropped the mic
I dont know if i have to love YT for suggesting me this video, or i have to love the genius in this video.
Both share the love around man :)
I did enjoy it very, I keep replaying it.
aaaaahhhhhh, i didn't even know he'd done this. dope!
DUDE >>>>>> you need to do an album or something as I would buy it .... well download lol I love your smooth fast flow and the fact I cant still understand every word..
lmao got to the end with the highpitched chorus literally lol'd
this was 2011??!! i feel old now.
The way he uses his fast rapping is so unique, and the way he uses comedy I really like this
love him or hate him you cant deny hes talented and unique
I like this song this guy flow's are awsome
Dope man, so dope. Watsky is so lyricly (let's make it a word) sound and fluid. Keep it up
Calvin Jones It is, except it's spelt 'lyrically'.
that mic use to put so much distortion glad you guys upgraded
Watsky is one of the best rappers on RUclips in my opinion
That beat goes perfect with the lyrics. Instrumental?
How does this not have more views?
When is Watsky gonna make a CD and sell it for 20 bucks, cause I'm gonna buy two.
If times a blunt I can pass it. So subtle, so dope.
What happened to knocksteady
Aaaaaah, I love Watsky! I've watched some of his stuff before and he's pretty awesome~
is this available for a download......this is awesome as hell ive listened to this for 3 days straight now
Watskey needs to come to pasadena!!! Go Watskey!!!
this is seriously the best love song everrrr
Oh my god the captions are cracking me up hahaha
i sung this to a girl at school. i now have a girlfriend! thanks George!
This is good - can I download just the song without the podcast?
the remote control is stuck in the cushing, needs to be on this station.
I'm dying to try a cover of this but can't find the beat anywhere, anyone have it?
GWatsky = the king of spoken word
I hope you never lose your lisp.
he is the most lyrically gifted rapper ive heard ina whil he reminds me of earl sweatshirt ina way
i like how the mics smashed in
Watsky got me back into writing he so epic
3:01 He's sings like an angel :')
still a banger lol
@ibkree WHATTTT THE WHOLE MIX TAPE IS FREE???? I FUCKING LOVE YOU!!!
Signed or not, keep your old ways.
Mad respect for not going for the typical mainstream MC.
I don't call this rap. I call this a lyrical masterpiece magically binding with a hype beat. ( feel free to bend that and use that ). But I have too much respect for Watsky, pure talent proven through tracks such as this one
its so fucking obvious you did poems before raps, i like this
Face at the end is the best part!!!!
Needs radio play!
How can someone hate on this?
It's fucking amazing..
really loving the free mixtape but id love to put it on cd and its an mp3 and i cant figure it out lol.
So funny and cute the lyrics!! Love it!!
You dont have to tell who sent you here, just enjoy the music and tell what you like about it :)
I agree with the top comments, this song is way better live than the album version.
Gotta love that chorus. o___o
What is the name of this beat/instrumental????? i WANT IT like this for an instrumental!!!!
this guy is AMAZING!!!
You name dropped Brair Rabbit. That's awesome.
@MacedMusic yo i dnt get it can you explain to me ?
At the end he seems really shy but he's a frucking beast on the mic.
this reminds me of busdriver imaginary places for some reason, i hope im not the only one
definitely want to see a collab with wax and this guy
how do your videos not have more views?
Watsky feeds my soul!
Nice headphones. Gotta love the m-50's
Always gonna be a banger
Better than the album version imo. Watsky live is the only way ;)
Gotta love Watsky.
RWJ brought you here!
OK now I am convinced RWJ is making some real good cash from these artists. In the last week or so he suddenly starts loving all these songs. Yeah i rate he is making a nice cut. Wow..the powerful force that is internet marketing :)
does anyone know where i could find an instrumental of this song??
@MrTochigui the dent in the mic, its like KnockSteady trademark
Wait... is that the beat from the yellow drum machine I hear in the background??
