    I wish people would just listen to their lyrics get there message & study it just like Django Lagendijk cause the mind goes to limits unknown until your dead & maybe not even then.
    But damn sure will find your inner peace sometime in life & now is the time for everyone to see. The 70's were the closest attempt to get world peace but didnt work.
    So now is the time again, or the evil will take over (*Government*)

    NY has always been the place for smart music, these guys are bringing it back. The South raps about strips club, LA about fame but NY is bringing an underground culture of spiritually aware people to light. I'm so hyped for another mixtape and hopefully one of them on the XXL freshmen roster next year.

    1. you dont have to do psychedelics to have a higher level of thinking
    2. dont think like they do think on your own, be conscious
    3. read some books, and of course enjoy the music and knowledge they're spreading

    The indigoism mixtape is dope as fuck, but what they say is kind of hypocritical. They're all about anti-religion and thinking for yourself, but at the same time claim that their entire motive for rapping is to influence the masses into their way of thinking. Is that not the base that all religions are founded on?

  • @4x1Consciouskid
    @4x1Consciouskid 11 лет назад +1

    I don't wanna assume all their reasoning behind the name but in society's eyes they're seen as "Underachievers" so like AK said they're taking something with a negative connotation and making it positive. It has nothing to do with academic performance, they're both on a quest for divine knowledge. Elevate yourself.

    your misunderstood, the idea of jesus was a man who found his path and reached `christ consciousness` , then as years went on his image was transformed into him being a higher being, that a normal man couldn't be like him, and when we limit our thinking saying we cant do something, then it will never be achieved , basically, we are all our own gods, but are all connected to one `soul`

    @edwarduzimaki 11 лет назад

    I understand what these guys are saying and respect thier ideals,before even discovering what indigoism was I didn't even realise I was on the verge of becoming part of it myself. Im a christian I believe in god. I don't believe in a spiritual god or a physical god but I do believe in god.(Not gonna go into detail with that,would take too long) but the point being,I question everything as a person,what's wrong? what's right? The bible has been changed so many times,can you trust it? naw mean

  • @pCastro14
    @pCastro14 11 лет назад

    i hear what you're saying but the i'd say the distinction between their influence or any other person or group trying to influence anyone in this way is that, religion generally makes you considerably more close minded so you only see like possibilities that the religion lays out for you, but these guys, yea they're tryna influence but the goal is to make people more open minded so in the long run they're able to become more conscious and think for themselves so no influence is needed anymore.

  • @GgNora
    @GgNora 11 лет назад +1

    so weird, ive been listening to these guys for a while now, their mixtape 'indigoism' was the only mixtape i had on my laptop.. i didnt really understand the stuff they were rapping about, like '3rd eye' and one with the universe and stuff, unti i looked into it my self, i was curious, now i understand alot... thank you UnderAchievers.. you are doing what more artists need to do, which is wake people up.

  • @glasscloud8349
    @glasscloud8349 11 лет назад

    no, if you listen they are talking about people who follow religions based on common beliefs and for the sole reason of it being a religion. they want people to stop and think for themselves what they actually believe in rather than just being a part of something because it is others say it's right.

    what makes them different from a pastor is that they don't preach bullshit and lies like a pastor does. there not forcing you to believe in any of this, so why criticize them?

  • @Maadnote
    @Maadnote 11 лет назад

    the difference is that they are telling you how to think, instead of what to think.. which is the same difference that exists between spirituality and religion

    1. You've obviously never done psychedelics.

    3. Go listen to their songs again

    it's actually very structured and if that particular way of thinking became organized and big enough it would become a religion in itself People may believe they are thinking free but it just may be a way of thinking they have never touched on before but by believing they are thinking free they unintentionally put themselves into another structured way of thinking..
