Atmosphere – When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold (2008)
This is the third music post brought to you by entrants of our music competition, this time by user hidden behind nick Chinballs.
This is an older release, from April 19th, but it is one that was a big hit critically and commercially and as such is a release of definite importance that wasn’t released on rlslog before.
If you follow underground hip hop at all, you know who Atmosphere are. Slug, the MC, and Ant, the producer. They are one of the leading groups in “backpack” rap, and we have the group WHOA to thank for this release, Atmosphere’s 6th studio release as a group.
Atmosphere is an American hip hop duo from Minneapolis, Minnesota. The members are rapper Slug (born Sean Daley, September 7, 1972) and DJ/producer Ant (born Anthony Davis). Active in various forms since 1993, they are one of the most commercially successful and long-lived independent hip hop acts.

music box
yesterday
those are my fav. joints. I have all of thier stuff and they are mislabeled in the description.
Atmospehere is not backpack rap..i hate when underground artists get that label including myself…lol..they are simply a genius underground hip-hop act
Atmosphere is from my hometown. I’ve met them a few times and go to their shows regularly. although they don’t consider themselves rappers, they prefer the term rhyme-sayer’s. I also am not a big hip-hop fan but atmosphere is my exception because my friends got me into them and when i met them they seemed like pretty chill guys. I’m actually more into jambands. I would like to recommend a jamband from minneapolis called The Big Wu i’ll try to get a good rapidshare link to their newest album and my favorite album of theirs.
buy this album!!
atmosphere is awesome — god loves ugly is one my favorite hip hop albums ever
cant wait to hear this album and if its even half as good as his others, i think everyone should buy it and support REAL hip hop music
Someone should upload the DVD that comes with the album. It would be great to see this live show.

OP was pure gold though, funny as s.h.i.t.

guys, they are utterly boring. just because they’re underground it doesn’t automatically mean they are good.
Now you Lamerz check this! THAT is REAL good underground and progressive rap and none of that boring “kanye west light” crap that atmosphere do:

98 percent of the population has switched to rap and hiphop…
If you are one of the 2 percent that listens to real music post this message.
LOL
@24, noone:
Ditto… at least these guys try to be a little different.

Chinballs?
This means he has balls on his chin? Another man’s balls on his chin? He is a h0m0? That aint cool.
I have vewy slitty eyes cos I am Korean.
All the Atmosphere haters need to stop. This is a solid record, that is most certainly not “boring”. Atmosphere’s never been boring. For all the hip hop haters, just download the album and try it out. The beats certainly aren’t “primitive”. The production is great. This album isn’t Atmosphere’s best but its still a good album.
nice post. nice to see a local group (local to me) get some play on rlslog. been listening to atmosphere for many years. they are not the band they used to be, but this very easily could be their best album since god loves ugly. for those of you who dig the album, be sure to check out overcast and lucy ford as well (their first two formal albums).
you haters wouldn’t know a good beat if it vibrated you off your couch. go listen to 50 cent.
I was a writer out in Minnehopeless and knew slug a bit- he was pretty ok until his ego got inflated and he left the street scene. Too bad another Emo-hopper is born..
“Minnehopless”??? Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
rat at tat tat, with my gat in yer back 50’s commin back, It aint wack it’s a heart attack!
‘Yaaay I’m a rapper give me a million dollars woot!
if youre from the midwest and it doesnt matter where say “Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”
