how this is still so underground is beyond me, but it's special that such a small group of us know about and enjoy this classic, so smooth, props to Cities Aviv
This song used to play at my old job on the radio. Everytime i heard it i thought it was a very well known hiphop song that i just didn't know. now that i found it, it makes me kinda sad its not super popular because it is amazing. production wise and rapping wise this song is arguably perfect.
I discovered this song while sat with an old friend on shrooms I was tripping acid and we realised there was a man running towards us on the cover while the yellow/peach part was dancing along to the music as the man emerged we had such a dreamy sense of peace wash over us. This song is nostalgic for a time I didn’t even exist in yet and that’s why I love it. Very grateful for cities aviv I come back to this song whenever I feel down really helping during these.. uncertain times. Flow smoother than a bowl of oat milk.
[Verse 1] Yo, Like my mission was rap Growing up they said my mission was whack So I departed from the mischievous acts I'm in the state of mind Bustin' over 40s and wine Kickin' shit that's priceless like Morris Day and the Time 'cuz since '89, I could never stay in the box While these niggas stood straight up and hop straight outta line Elevated to the point that I could reach the clouds Why you bitches wanna speak to me now? Like you don't know me You don't even know the half or the fourth of it And you don't know the crooked nose of the subordinates Or the ordinates, and bitch you don't know the coordinates Or even the city I was borded in Send a message to that city I'm from Cuz since I hit 21 these niggas is done And when i reach 22 I'm still gonna shine By the time i'm 25 yeah the world is mine [Hook] And I'm Coastin' Yup, I'm Coastin' All night and I'm Coastin' Yup I'm Coastin'. [Verse 2] Don't call it a comeback Just call it a grant entrance back For the first time like I'm ATL trippin' ATL slippin', save that red carpet for them vain niggas tryna' Make places for them pictures, chasin' only figures Did he just say that? I go to nine seven like did he just play that? Yes, I'm an asshole and that's a fact But I kick up more spit than you bastard cats You got a mic? Nigga, pass it back I don't fuck with lames. I'm in the street like I don't fuck with planes Everybody tryna' move in an alternate lane, but at the end of the day they sound the same Well, hell, every man for his own man Well all these years I could never really understand If niggas really tryna' move up in the game Why they still runnin' in place doin' the running man? [Hook] Coastin' Yup, I'm Coastin' Coastin' All night and I'm Coastin' [Verse 3] Sweet dreams to the game Fuck the money and fame If I'm not ready for the mic (three halves for them five mics,?) Since I put the mic down on that rock shit They wanna place me with these other niggas wearin' rock smith And that's cool, but you dudes look ignorant Refer to the pages, we not even on the same script Don't compare me to any MC you see on TV, because the way that my motherfuckin' clothes fit Call me the tiger I gain the blood in every song But I find it kinda hard to call Memphis home If everybody here wanna be Wayne a three six, then I guess I don't fit within the ozone These niggas lukewarm stop tryna' sound hot I'm not the best, but I'm comin' for the next spot The game ain't ready when I blow on the mic You won't duck dodge LeBron, you'll just screw up the whole dumb cycle I'm Coastin' Yup I'm Coastin' Check me out, I'm Coastin All night and I'm Coastin' Coastin'
i saw the word “montrose” written on something today and was immediately reminded of meet me on montrose by cities aviv and find myself going through all the best hits. this was a completely forgotten memory for me of a time as a teenager, sneaking out late to smoke weed with my boyfriend. after over 10 years i remembered nearly every word. those beautiful memories were still there somewhere deep inside. nostalgia is a hell of a drug, i’m a little choked up.
NGL i used to listen to this when longboarding back in 2013. Now in college 2021, listening to this while workin on some shit is the best feeling ever.

Lil e As someone who knows the guy personally, I think maybe he doesn’t much care for this side of his old catalogue anymore... sometimes people move so far away from their former work it can be kind of nauseating to revisit your old self... happens to us all in certain ways... thus, no spotify.

@@SLEDZ154 Yo.
I love the sample of "scene d'amour" of Bernard Hermann from Vertigo movie. Genius !
10 years after i'm still in love.
The sample is Shirley Bassey’s cover of “Easy to Be Hard” from the musical Hair
@@jrr1991 shirley got the sample from bernard

That's cool as shitt tho that u got to hear this at an old job@@officialmicrosoft
@@nero1000 yeah the music that played there was incredible. whoever made the playlist had good music taste
This is a hidden gem
Discovered this in middle school and I’m 22 now. Song still slaps
I was just vaporizing and thinking this. I was in high school and bumping all his stuff.
underrated as hell. This is GREAT.
I discovered this song while sat with an old friend on shrooms I was tripping acid and we realised there was a man running towards us on the cover while the yellow/peach part was dancing along to the music as the man emerged we had such a dreamy sense of peace wash over us. This song is nostalgic for a time I didn’t even exist in yet and that’s why I love it.

peace to you
Thanks for this
Hey, I am so happy for you
shrooms are bad. make people shit themselves and/or take their clothes off.
2012???? wtf soo ahead of his time that melody insane
The hell are you talking about? The song that's being sampled is from 1970...
Do yourself a favour and dig into 90s hip hop. This is a throwback to the 90s
[Verse 1]
Yo, Like my mission was rap
Growing up they said my mission was whack
So I departed from the mischievous acts
I'm in the state of mind
Bustin' over 40s and wine
Kickin' shit that's priceless like Morris Day and the Time
'cuz since '89, I could never stay in the box
While these niggas stood straight up and hop straight outta line
Elevated to the point that I could reach the clouds
Why you bitches wanna speak to me now?
Like you don't know me
You don't even know the half or the fourth of it
And you don't know the crooked nose of the subordinates
Or the ordinates, and bitch you don't know the coordinates
Or even the city I was borded in
Send a message to that city I'm from
Cuz since I hit 21 these niggas is done
And when i reach 22 I'm still gonna shine
By the time i'm 25 yeah the world is mine
[Hook]
And I'm Coastin'
Yup, I'm Coastin'
All night and I'm Coastin'
Yup I'm Coastin'. [Verse 2]
Don't call it a comeback
Just call it a grant entrance back
For the first time like I'm ATL trippin'
ATL slippin', save that red carpet for them vain niggas tryna'
Make places for them pictures, chasin' only figures
Did he just say that?
I go to nine seven like did he just play that?
Yes, I'm an asshole and that's a fact
But I kick up more spit than you bastard cats
You got a mic? Nigga, pass it back
I don't fuck with lames. I'm in the street like I don't fuck with planes
Everybody tryna' move in an alternate lane, but at the end of the day they sound the same
Well, hell, every man for his own man
Well all these years I could never really understand
If niggas really tryna' move up in the game
Why they still runnin' in place doin' the running man?
[Hook]
Coastin'
Yup, I'm Coastin'
Coastin'
All night and I'm Coastin'
[Verse 3]
Sweet dreams to the game
Fuck the money and fame
If I'm not ready for the mic
(three halves for them five mics,?)
Since I put the mic down on that rock shit
They wanna place me with these other niggas wearin' rock smith
And that's cool, but you dudes look ignorant
Refer to the pages, we not even on the same script
Don't compare me to any MC you see on TV, because the way that my motherfuckin' clothes fit
Call me the tiger I gain the blood in every song
But I find it kinda hard to call Memphis home
If everybody here wanna be Wayne a three six, then I guess I don't fit within the ozone
These niggas lukewarm stop tryna' sound hot
I'm not the best, but I'm comin' for the next spot
The game ain't ready when I blow on the mic
You won't duck dodge LeBron, you'll just screw up the whole dumb cycle
I'm Coastin'
Yup I'm Coastin'
Check me out, I'm Coastin
All night and I'm Coastin'
Coastin'
i come revisit this song every year give or take and it always fills me with the same vibe i had listening to it the first time
great classic rap, wow
i saw the word “montrose” written on something today and was immediately reminded of meet me on montrose by cities aviv and find myself going through all the best hits. this was a completely forgotten memory for me of a time as a teenager, sneaking out late to smoke weed with my boyfriend. after over 10 years i remembered nearly every word. those beautiful memories were still there somewhere deep inside. nostalgia is a hell of a drug, i’m a little choked up.
Crazy how slept on this tune is

Can't get over how much I still like this after 1000 listens.

Probably the the best rap tune of the 21st century. Amazing!!!
Even 5 years later i come back to this song and its better than before

Lyrics ..
Yo, Like my mission was rap
Growing up they said my mission was whack
So I departed from the mischievous acts
I'm in the state of mind
Bustin' over 40s and wine
Kickin' sh** that's priceless like Morris Day and the Time
'cuz since '89, I could never stay in the box
While these n***as stood straight up and hop straight outta line
Elevated to the point that I could reach the clouds
Why you b**hes wanna speak to me now?
Like you don't know me
You don't even know the half or the fourth of it
And you don't know the crooked nose of the subordinates
Or the ordinates, and b**h you don't know the coordinates
Or even the city I was borded in
Send a message to that city I'm from
Cuz since I hit 21 these n***as is done
And when i reach 22 I'm still gonna shine
By the time i'm 25 yeah the world is mine
[Hook]
And I'm Coastin'
Yup, I'm Coastin'
All night and I'm Coastin'
Yup I'm Coastin'
[Verse 2]
Don't call it a comeback
Just call it a grant entrance back
For the first time like I'm ATL trippin'
ATL slippin', save that red carpet for them vain n***as tryna'
Make places for them pictures, chasin' only figures
Did he just say that?
I go to nine seven like did he just play that?
Yes, I'm an a**hole and that's a fact
But I kick up more spit than you bastard cats
You got a mic? n***a, pa** it back
I don't f** with lames. I'm in the street like I don't f** with planes
Everybody tryna' move in an alternate lane, but at the end of the day they sound the same
Well, hell, every man for his own man

f** the money and fame
If I'm not ready for the mic

Since I put the mic down on that rock sh**
They wanna place me with these other n***as wearin' rock smith
And that's cool, but you dudes look ignorant
