      No. He's in an elevator cause every time he trys to escape he's paid to deal with it. every time the guy comes up to him and gives him money. he's stating that just get the job done and you get paid.

      I must be the only person in the world who doesn't know what it means to get signed. Like, it supposed to be good right? A lot of rappers Want a record deal, but most people saying like it's a bad thing.. what do you mean stay free?

    • @psychs7750
      @psychs7750 7 лет назад +25

      StillHdz17 he has to stay unsigned the material he produces is just amazing like imagine if he had signed and they turned exception into some corny pop song I wouldn't be feeling his stuff as much especially because exception is how I found out about him

    • @FerramusNL
      @FerramusNL 7 лет назад +31

      "Free" as in "free to do as he wants". Imagine a painter who paints what his mind tells him to, then someone walking up with a bag of money asking him to change things.

    Damn. I can relate to part 3 so much. Used to see my dad every weekend, now i see him maybe once a month. Doesn't feel to me like a dad either, but rather as an old friend who i kinda 'have' to see some time. Small talk here, small talk there, just to keep each other talking. Being so close related to each other but yet i feel like a stranger who visits him and his family when feeling bad for not seeing them for weeks.
    Awesome song Token, greetings from Germany.

    Lyrics:
    [Intro]
    Yeah
    New Problems
    [Verse 1]
    One
    I met this chick in Idaho after a show I did with Hopsin
    Took her back to the hotel, oh my God it was awesome
    First time I spent the night with a lady so gorgeous
    Thought I was in love with her when I woke up to her that morning
    We just clicked
    I wanted to take her on the rest of the tour, she was down with it
    My manager told me let time pass, wait
    So I ended up flying her out for the five last dates
    It was better than before
    Never would have thought
    I'd be with a random girl that I met with on the job
    Couldn't tell if I was falling for her or tripping because of her
    Shit, I got comfortable on them comforters
    We were basically dating for the week
    She flew back home, I flew back home, I made it in one piece
    But she was falling apart, texting me every moment
    Telling me she's sick of home, I was just homesick
    'cause when I got home I felt like I was kind of over it
    I stopped hitting her up; she started noticing
    I was never the it, didn't realize how deep I was in
    Till she sent me snapchats of cuts deep in her skin
    Some suicidal shit
    Telling me that I'm supposed to be with you so if we're not together there is no reason why I should live
    Now I'm under the table texting her subtly
    Praying that this chick don't kill herself because of me
    [Hook]
    New problems
    New problems
    Don't tell my momma 'bout all these new problems
    New problems
    [Verse 2]
    Two
    This bitch ass snake is tryna sign me
    When I met him few years ago he was that guy to me
    He knew all my favorite rappers personally
    It blew my mind when he said he wanted to work with me
    And before I could even digest what he said to me
    He literally already had people calling who said they want to invest in me
    Damn, thought I was in a dream
    First time homies with somebody in the industry
    Thought I was 'bout to blow up; I was overwhelmed
    Thinking to myself, is it really supposed to go this well?
    So before I made a move
    I told him before I agree to anything, prove to me what you can do
    He set up a video shoot, it was a nightmare
    He put money behind it but didn't care about my ideas
    Arguing over the creative direction
    I said fuck it, I ain't doing this, I scrapped the whole session
    Then I made the song Exception
    Thinking I know this one is powerful, he's gotta love it, I gotta send it
    He said he liked it but he wants to edit
    So he got a new beat, corny hook and turned it to a pop record
    This dude's tripping
    Acting like a baller but now I know that he's not 'cause he's treating me like a dollar
    Just another check off his checklist, check to deposit
    Now demanding 20 percent for the work he put on this
    He ain't did shit
    Subliminally hinting to me he gon' blackball me if he don't get shit
    He know everybody in the game; they're gonna believe him more too
    I want to tell him suck a dick, but I can't afford to
    [Hook]
    New problems
    New problems
    Please don't tell my momma 'bout all these new problems
    New problems
    [Verse 3]
    Three
    Got a couple bucks now so I'm skeptical
    'bout where I put my time, I'm busy all the time and I feel terrible
    'cause I've been slipping up
    Spending all this time with fake friends I got family members I ain't hitting up
    But I don't want to hear anyone judging my choices
    If they don't know what it feels like to go from completely avoided
    To somebody that everybody is talking about
    It don't even feel the same when I walk in my house
    New rumors 'bout me every single day
    Like he don't want to chill with us, he rather chill with Sway
    He think he's better than us
    He think he's moving on
    I go out, pretend to be social, just to prove them wrong
    But I ain't see my dad in a month
    I only see him for dinner; we're still acting like that's good enough
    But I've been blowing him off like I'm busy and stuff
    To the point it don't feel the same when he's picking me up
    You know when you're comfortable enough with someone that you could be in complete silence and it wouldn't be awkward?
    Well, it's awkward between us, I'm bothered
    So I ask stupid questions just to keep him talking
    Like how is your job? How is your mom?
    How did I get here from writing these songs?
    I go to my homies' houses and I'm jealous of them
    'Cause they see their dad as a dad, I see my dad as an old friend
    I bet he's afraid to bring it up
    'Cause he can see I'm under pressure even though I act like I don't give a fuck
    Acting like I'm ready for this
    Acting like I'm cooler
    Acting like I'm not afraid of the future and all my new problems

    You don't need record labels. They sign you to confine you and keep real music like this from the world. Once you sign they pull you back from saying such messages as you are saying. The world is changing and the industry labels will fail soon because people are waking up to what real music is. I respect your work. Wish I could collab with you but I feel that is too much to ask.

    • @TannerHinzeFitness
      @TannerHinzeFitness 3 года назад +2

      labels were really only a thing because back in the day they had to advertise word of mouth and labels were able to reach the masses they're an outdated idea and they know it that's why they cling to power. Those who cant let go simply are just afraid of falling

  • @minecraftion25565
    @minecraftion25565 7 лет назад +94

    This is the first song where you speak to the audience as if they're equals, and not like they're maggots or in need of advice. I respect you using rap as an escape from your true self, and at the same time, you need more songs like this.

    • @hellspawnhoodlum1363
      @hellspawnhoodlum1363 7 лет назад +12

      CK_85 I guess this must be the 1st song you've heard then. I can name at least 3 more where he's directly talking/apologizing to the fans. go buy the album. support the underground and educate yourself.

    • @minecraftion25565
      @minecraftion25565 7 лет назад +4

      I bought Eraser Shavings and I've listened it to a few dozen times. I love him, though I don't like his narcissism, even if he has the talent to back it up. Don't tell me to "educate myself" and "support the underground" when you don't know me at all

    • @minecraftion25565
      @minecraftion25565 7 лет назад +4

      First, I have listened to it all the way through a few dozen times. Second, you do not need to be so confrontational and angry, as it does not make your point any stronger, rather it makes you sound more ignorant ("The ignorant mind, with its infinite afflictions, passions, and evils, is rooted in three poisons. Greed, anger, and delusion." -Bodhidharma). Finally, I readily admit when I'm wrong, and upon another listen to those songs with a new intention, you are correct. When I wrote the comment, I did not recall those songs, perhaps because that the recommended songs in the sidebar were the ones that were filling my mind. I still stand by my opinion that he needs more songs of this caliber.

    • @hellspawnhoodlum1363
      @hellspawnhoodlum1363 7 лет назад

      CK_85 I don't need a sermon. and if you knew the album you'd know the songs instead of just the "hits". know the music. here's your L for the day Listen with your ears and not your mouth.

    • @minecraftion25565
      @minecraftion25565 7 лет назад +4

      I have said this two times, but now I must resort to telling you in a way that you might actually understand: *I have listened to every fucking song in that album several dozen times. Every fucking song* I must also add that my memory is not perfect, and I am not going to go through Token's entire anthology in my mind before writing a comment on a RUclips video. Also, no, I did not take an "L". I was reminded about the songs in his collection after writing a comment that neglected them. In short, fuck off.

  • @canadianguy7291
    @canadianguy7291 7 лет назад +183

    So i just realised every time Token tried to leave the elevator someone would come up to him and give him something to trick him into continuing rapping. The real question is who that man is suppose to be?

      @sirrofflelotmixeditup1459 7 лет назад +24

      Cancer Cop no when he tries to exit the elevator, it signifies him trying to get out of the situation hes in ,but the guy that hands him money is like someone saying stfu and do your job. with him needing the money, he sits back down and starts the next verse. so, whenever he tries to get out( sponsor ...jk) he is paid to sit back down and deal with it.
      It could be considered a room full of new problems.(pun) But still u could still be right.

    • @cxdrippy
      @cxdrippy 7 лет назад +25

      no it says "The title of the song (New Problems), is inspired by Biggie Smalls' “Mo' Money Mo' Problems.
      In the music video of New Problems, Token receives a bundle of cash after the first and the second verse, and after the third verse, it starts to rain cash.
      The more money he gets, the more (new) problems he gets."

    Hey Idk if you’re ever gonna see this but I want you to know that your music is literally saving my life. I don’t usually listen to rap but I’ve literally never connected more with anybody else’s music than yours. It’s just so fucking genuine and it’s helping me deal with shit that most people fifty years older than me have never dealt with. As a thirteen-time attempt survivor (and just so everyone knows that sounds just as crazy to me as it does to you), there have been moments where I was literally in the bathroom with a bottle of pills in my hand and the only reason why I didn’t swallow the whole thing is because I decided to pull out my phone and listen to your music. My guess is that you’ll never see this but I hope you know that what you do saves lives because I have literally never heard any artist more real than you.

    NEW PROBLEMS LYRICS
    [Intro]
    Yeah
    New Problems
    [Verse 1]
    One
    I met this chick in Idaho after a show I did with Hopsin
    Took her back to the hotel, oh my God it was awesome
    First time I spent the night with a lady so gorgeous
    Thought I was in love with her when I woke up to her that morning
    We just clicked
    I wanted to take her on the rest of the tour, she was down with it
    My manager told me let time pass, wait
    So I ended up flying her out for the five last dates
    It was better than before
    Never would have thought
    I'd be with a random girl that I met with on the job
    Couldn't tell if I was falling for her or tripping because of her
    Shit, I got comfortable on them comforters
    We were basically dating for the week
    She flew back home, I flew back home, I made it in one piece
    But she was falling apart, texting me every moment
    Telling me she's sick of home, I was just homesick
    'cause when I got home I felt like I was kind of over it
    I stopped hitting her up; she started noticing
    I was new to it, didn't realize how deep I was in
    Till she sent me snapchats of cuts deep in her skin
    Some suicidal shit
    Telling me that I'm supposed to be with you so if we're not together there is no reason why I should live
    Now I'm under the table texting her subtly
    Praying that this chick don't kill herself because of me
    [Hook]
    New problems
    New problems
    Don't tell my momma 'bout all these new problems
    New problems
    [Verse 2]
    Two
    This bitch ass snake is tryna sign me
    When I met him few years ago he was that guy to me
    He knew all my favorite rappers personally
    It blew my mind when he said he wanted to work with me
    And before I could even digest what he said to me
    He literally already had people calling who said they want to invest in me
    Damn, thought I was in a dream
    First time homies with somebody in the industry
    Thought I was 'bout to blow up; I was overwhelmed
    Thinking to myself, is it really supposed to go this well?
    So before I made a move
    I told him before I agree to anything, prove to me what you can do
    He set up a video shoot, it was a nightmare
    He put money behind it but didn't care about my ideas
    Arguing over the creative direction
    I said fuck it, I ain't doing this, I scrapped the whole session
    Then I made the song Exception
    Thinking I know this one is powerful, he's gotta love it, I gotta send it
    He said he liked it but he wants to edit
    So he got a new beat, corny hook and turned it to a pop record
    This dude's tripping
    Acting like a baller but now I know that he's not 'cause he's treating me like a dollar
    Just another check off his checklist, check to deposit
    Now demanding 20 percent for the work he put on this
    He ain't did shit
    Subliminally hinting to me he gon' blackball me if he don't get shit
    He know everybody in the game; they're gonna believe him more too
    I want to tell him suck a dick, but I can't afford to
    [Hook]
    New problems
    New problems
    Please don't tell my momma 'bout all these new problems
    New problems
    [Verse 3]
    Three
    Got a couple bucks now so I'm skeptical
    'bout where I put my time, I'm busy all the time and I feel terrible
    'cause I've been slipping up
    Spending all this time with fake friends I got family members I ain't hitting up
    But I don't want to hear anyone judging my choices
    If they don't know what it feels like to go from completely avoided
    To somebody that everybody is talking about
    It don't even feel the same when I walk in my house
    New rumors 'bout me every single day
    Like he don't want to chill with us, he rather chill with Sway
    He think he's better than us
    He think he's moving on
    I go out, pretend to be social, just to prove them wrong
    But I ain't see my dad in a month
    I only see him for dinner; we're still acting like that's good enough
    But I've been blowing him off like I'm busy and stuff
    To the point it don't feel the same when he's picking me up
    You know when you're comfortable enough with someone that you could be in complete silence and it wouldn't be awkward?
    Well, it's awkward between us, I'm bothered
    So I ask stupid questions just to keep him talking
    Like how is your job? How is your mom?
    How did I get here from writing these songs?
    I go to my homies' houses and I'm jealous of them
    'Cause they see their dad as a dad, I see my dad as an old friend
    I bet he's afraid to bring it up
    'Cause he can see I'm under pressure even though I act like I don't give a fuck
    Acting like I'm ready for this
    Acting like I'm cooler
    Acting like I'm not afraid of the future and all my new problems

    • @mati2858
      @mati2858 7 лет назад +83

      Trevor Sullivan Not exactly rapping for money. It's a reference to "More Money More Problems", with social (personal), economic and reality problems related to fame and contracts.
      It's has an awesome video. An elevator going up (his career and life advancing) but stopping everytime something fucked up happens to him. He tries to leave that condition, but the industry keeps giving him more and more money and trying to keep him on that same pace, generating him to have more and more problems.
      so... at the end, everything is symbolized with the rain of money... "i'm fucked up but with money raining on my head". Clearly the best hip hop artist of our generation together with hopsin, NF, Marty and some others.

    Shit ,this guy is too intense ,but, to be honest ,guys like Token are the reason why I still listen and believe in hip hop. Keep it up bro.

    I like tokens rhyme scheme. Much like poetry in my opinion. Not a lot of hip hop artists are like this.

      Dylan James Ferreira oh you're so intelligent because you hate on other peoples music because it doesn't carry deep meaning.

      Dylan James Ferreira 7 billion on the planet. Roughly 6 billion are all very absent when it comes to intelligence and of that remaining one billion only a small small sliver pf a percent listen to intelligent music. So it leaves us intelligent ones outnumbered by those with no brains.

    Token is the definition of letting loose. Other songs bounce off your ears, you just keep goin'. But this stuff is on another level.
