God Loves Ugly [Explicit Lyrics]

Editorial Reviews
From URB Magazine
"See, bands like us don't get groupies," Slug tells a female admirer between cuts on God Loves Ugly. "I mean, have you heard our songs? " Groupies, presumably, require hits, and he's right, there isn't anything resembling one on the album, just as there hasn't been among Atmosphere's previous releases. Nor does Slug muster any particularly infectious choruses here, and producer Ant deviates from snare-snapping boom-bap but once over the 18-track program (on the dubby "Blamegame"). Yet Ugly still might be the record to introduce the duo to "that average 14-year-old girl who hates her parents" who Slug identifies as the next target now that they're a household name with the Fat Beats-savvy set. This is the sound of indie rap universalizing its relevance while compromising none of its tenets. Slug's up to his usual vein-letting self-therapy for most of "Ugly but spends much less time sticking pins in the effigies of ex-girlfriends than he did on Lucy Ford. As a result, he's able to speak on a broader range of topics, from his bemusement at being a quasi sex symbol to his Holden Caulfield-like desire to ""close all the schools just to make the kids smile." Ant draws from a decidedly unflashy selection of melodic elements — guitar and piano mostly — but with them he matches the diversity of moods evoked by his partner as very few beat-smiths can. With Ugly, Atmosphere succeeds in concocting songs that are meticulously crafted enough for the heads but emotionally honest enough for little Becky from the 'burbs.

5 out of 5 stars God does Love Ugly.......2007-03-15

If you want to listen to real Hip Hop that doesn't involve guns, rims, boasting & crack.. then this is an album for you. Nothing flashy, just his outlook on life. Great CD. Try something different.. you won't be disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars A classic.......2007-03-13

This album will always live close to my heart. When i bought this i had just gone through with a bad breakup with my girl of 5 years
"F*ck you Lucky" really helped me through it. It basicly described the way i felt and got me through it. The rest of the CD is so full of emotion and feeling. Slug opens up and isnt afraid to show that he is weak in alot of ways and thats why hes sooo Beloved in our hometown of Minneap. RHYMESAYERS 4 LIFE

Buy the album.. you will love it

5 out of 5 stars God Loves Us.......2007-01-21

Atmosphere knows how to make music. The album 'God Loves Ugly' hit the spot with Ant's (the Producer/DJ) creative, head-bobbing, and catchy beats; Slug (the emcee) can hold the beat with his strong vocals, tech vocab, and strong emotions like no other emcee alive. This album is jam packed with great song after great song. I feel that they didn't go wrong with a single song on this album. Many of my friends who aren't even into 'rap' have asked me if I could tell them where they could get this CD. Once in your player it seems to stay for days, weeks, and months. GET IT! SUPPORT music that is real. GET IT!

4 out of 5 stars All hail the mighty Slug..........2006-08-02

Most kids seem to like this best. I love it, it was my first taste of Atmosphere, but other albums such as Lucy Ford, Seven Head Shots, and Seven's Travels seem tighter to me. But then, they're all awesome!

2 out of 5 stars it made me depressed.......2006-07-08

sorry it just did...too dramatic not enough party tracks. i guess if you want that it's cool. but i like people under the stairs and ugly duckling better.
