	Hip-Hop Review \| Slug: A Rapper Whose Targets Include Himself, Shooting From the Hip
		Slug is one-half of the hip-hop duo Atmosphere — his producer, Ant, doesn't tour — which has pioneered a witty, bitter form of hip-hop.
		(Slug is often praised or derided as a white rapper, but his father is fl.) The fourth Atmosphere album, "Seven's Travels," was released in September by the punk-rock label Epitaph, and on Tuesday Slug paid brief tribute to two punk-inspired musical ancestors: Husker Du and Elliott Smith.
		Slug was at his best when he digressed.

	[No title]
		Slug is from Minneapolis, Minnesota, one of the coldest and most isolated cities one might ever think a rising hip hop star to be from.
		Slug is the primary founder of a new breed of hip hop just beginning to emerge from the Land of 10,000 Lakes..
		Slug has described the scene as ìpretty incestuous, and everybody knows you because you've been in a band with them before or they used to fuck your girlfriend.î Slug has been rockin' the local scene with fellow rappers as well as rock bands, such as punk band Dillinger Four.

	New Mexico Daily Lobo - The Independent Voice of the University of New Mexico since 1895
		Slug is spread thin, and it pains an avid fan to admit this.
		The rapper used to be so good at speaking to the sensitive fans of hip-hop because he wasn't afraid to tell the stories of ex-lovers named Lucy who made him cry, or tattooed women who introduced him to punk music.
		Another stand out is "Little Man," in which Slug writes a letter to his son, his father, and himself, thanking each one for making him who he is. Insecurities and self-loathing surface as he admits he isn't the same rapper he used to be.

	White Underground Rappers
		Although their skin color is not of “normal” rappers color, they are just as good as any other rapper, if not better.
		Slug and Eyedea are both wearing hats, one stocking and one a baseball cap forward (Reines).
		Slug is said to “avoid both the mo’ money clichés of so much mainstream hip hop and the one-love preachiness of too much underground rap (Reines).” His music is probably the most well known underground rap with his group Atmosphere which includes his DJ/beat maker Ant (Reines).

		Rapper Slug and DJ Ant--aka Atmosphere--are back with another album of tight beats, sharp samples and sing-shout rapping about girls, self-loathing, girls, haters, girls, drinking, and girls.
		Slug has perfected the self-critical navel-gazing that is sorely missing in mainstream hip-hop, but he's also relentless about it.
		Slug also lets down his mohawk for a second on the album-ending "Little Man," his Eminem-like ode to his kid.

	MAGNET Live Review: Eyedea & Abilities
		Atmosphere rapper Slug has helmed a tidal wave of “emo-rap” media attention lately, mostly on the strength and accessibility of Seven’s Travels (Epitaph), his latest LP with turntablist Ant.
		Slug’s energy was infectious: He ran laps around the turntables while Ant spun, his face mysteriously shrouded by a gray bandanna.
		Slug even stopped the party to go on a tangential, two-minute rant about the evils of cocaine.

	White Underground Rappers
		Lyrical rap is controlled mainly by underground rappers such as Slug of Atmosphere, Eyedea from Eyedea and Abilities, and Sage Francis, all of which are white.
		It could be a Minnesota thing that Slug and Eyedea are wearing hats but in general the white underground rapper community goes back and forth between wearing hats.
		In a song on Atmosphere’s God Loves Ugly CD, Slug writes “Most of this garbage I write, that these people seem to like, is about you, and how I let you infect my life.” Slug talks about his ex-girlfriend messing with his head and there troubled relationship (LetsSingIt.com).

		Slug begins to freestyle, or more like sing, asking why Murs has to be such an asshole MC.

		Slug: I think that answer is going to be different for everybody in the world who has a nickname.
		Slug is actually short for Sluggo which is actually short for little Sluggo which is what my name was as a child cause my fathers nick name was Sluggo.
		Slug; (sighs) There was a time where I was a little defensive about it but nowadays I don't really care.

	Orlando Weekly
		Aside from evoking Tom Waits, Slug the person is as comical and blithe as Slug the performer is somber and emotive.
		Having pieced together their musical aesthetic from scratch, the two encountered an attitude in Minnesota toward hip-hop that was nearly as hostile as the state's winters.
		Slug is fiercely loyal to his friends -- claiming that he created Rhymesayers so that he could release their music -- and attributes much of his success to Ant, who produces all of Atmosphere's tracks.

		Slug has become one of my top ten lyricists ever in just a couple albums he is from Minnesota, and I feel that a lot of midwestern hip-hop relates directly to my life.
		She was impressed with the rappers’ abilities to articulate their rhymes so well during a live performance, and was intrigued by the social and political topics being raised with the lyrics.
		Slug did a couple new tracks, then a couple old tracks, the most being crowd favorites that were of course touching on topics of women, relationships and sex (I've found that many women, especially those that only listen to radio hip-hop, tend to enjoy dirtier or sexier rap songs.

		slug goes on to say "smart went nuts and rode a unicorn through the storm." then after the hook at the start of the second verse he says "smart went crazy, kiss miss daisy, love you when everday was christmas baby.
		Acknowledging genealogical traits consistent among the three generations, Slug places himself at the center of the three generations in a way that suggests that the father and the son are variations of himself.
		Slug's lyrics are penetrating and heart-felt, and while some people say that "He doesn't sound as if he's having as much fun," I say that it sounds like he's being more genuine.

	DOA - Atmosphere - Seven’s Travels
		Rapper Slug and producer Ant utilize this cooperative clarity to their advantage; set apart from most indie rappers' clouded beats and convoluted delivery, Atmosphere comes across as a dose of common sense.
		Also interesting is the plea to "say shh." Most rappers want the audience to get as loud and rowdy as possible, but with this line, Slug highlights their difference from most other rappers: they're from the quiet Midwest.
		At five minutes, it's boring and lengthy; the drawing point to most of Atmosphere's songs is Slug's neo-philosopher urbanism raps, and it seems he failed to show up to write on this dud.

		Slug, looking back on Atmosphere’s explosion into the popular sphere, sees their success not only as the result of relentless touring and promoting, but as being indicative of a development within hip-hop itself.
		With an emphasis on personal issues rather than battle raps or gangsta fairy tales, Slug’s lyrics have garnered a broad fan base, and demographically speaking, a retailer is just as likely to sell an Atmosphere album to a punk or indie-rock fan as to a hip-hop head.
		Slug’s humility comes from a pragmatic realism concerning his own fame, but when he does bow out he plans to remain a force behind the scenes, running Rhymesayers and promoting up-and-coming hip-hop acts.

		Admittedly, the Midwest rapper Slug (Sean Daley) is not all white; his father is mixed and his grandfather was fl.
		Slug isn't from the hood (he's working class); he's never used a gun to resolve a difficulty; he has problems with girlfriends (not hos); he doesn't use the "n" word—and yet he makes real hiphop.
		Slug is associated with fl rappers, such as Murs of the Living Legends—they released A Tribute to Christina Ricci and A Tribute to Lisa Bonet.

	The Columbia Chronicle - 2007-05-07
		The transition from Headshots to Rhymesayers wasn?t a definitive event, according to Slug, but rather a focusing of their talent and a thinning of their herd.
		Slug is satisfied with his Epitaph experience, which expanded the group?s reputation nationwide and landed Rhymesayers a complete label distribution deal.
		Nevertheless, Slug felt he had to convince his friend and collaborator to hit the road at least once before the opportunity passes.

	GameSpy: Metal Slug Anthology Preview
		Metal Slug 6 is perhaps too recent to include, but it likely won't be missed too much anyway.
		The main things that set Metal Slug apart from Contra are the distinctively extreme graphic detail, the resultant slowdown, and the vehicle/grenade features.
		Metal Slug Collection is still very early (it's not due until November, and SNK Playmore tends to slide on release dates), but I got to tool around with the current prototype recently.

		It wasn't some rapper telling me he was a drug kingpin and he had his whole town on lock, it was the dude my homie went to school with coming up in the gang infested streets of Los Angeles, but being himself.

		G rap is wayyyy better than guru c'mon man we listnen to guru because of primo.lol I can't believe that on BET they had a poll that voted lil wayne as the greatest rapper alive the fans voted 84% that he's the greatest.He got skill but he's basically a average punchliner nowhere near cannibus level.

	Atmosphere :: Seven's Travels :: Rhymesayers Entertainment/Epitaph
		Especially for rappers like Slug, who aren't instantly hot on the streets or commercially visible across the nation when they start out, going out there and seeing people's reaction to their music can be most revealing.
		And as a rapper who often seems to hold a deeply intimate conversation with the listener, Slug is predestined for this type of interaction.
		There are many rappers who think they got something to say, but it takes them a while to figure out how.

		Not their first and not their most recent effort, God Loves Ugly is cross section of Slug as he shares his thoughts about a woman he used to love and others he hopes to.
		Slug's vocabulary runs pretty deep and the intensity in his voice makes it sound like he recorded the album from the electric chair.
		Although not a very well known rapper Gemini flows like Nas and the whole album with some help from Pharcyde and Prince Paul is a really clean well made album.

	Slug Keeps Growing On New Atmosphere Album
		It's not that Slug has reached some sort of sun-splashed plane with the ol' personal life -- "she's drama, I'm drama, we're drama" the newly mohawked rapper admits from a Detroit tour stop, with the sighing-but-not-unpleased resignation of someone who's cool operating under that definition for the time being.
		Slug attributes that externalizing to two factors: the severe reduction of his "self-medicating in general" and his adoption of a slightly more distanced role in his writing.
		Still, Slug, true to his hip-hop persona, is quick to launch praise for helping structure the record, from its old-school-tinted beats to its unmistakable sense of trying to find a balance.
