After a genre-bending EP Rainforest on the esteemed Tri Angle label, his LP "Instrumentals" compiles some of Clams’ most crucial and sought after beats. Surprisingly, with the raps stripped away the tracks take on a life of their own, and hearing Clams’ intricate productions with the space to breathe feels like a real privilege. The half-heard vocals, twisted, rolling beats and acid-bathed samples are now pushed to the forefront, and you’d struggle to hear how a rapper, no matter how competent would manage to compete with such precise songwriting. Clams’ real skill is to combine the delirious club sound of post-2010 rap with something almost unheard in the genre. His sound is totally unique, and as he punctuates tracks with blissful ambience and inspired samples it’s hard not to believe this is a producer destined for true greatness.
Platin Casino sponsored the release of a second instrumental mixtape, simply titled Instrumental Mixtape 2, for free via his Twitter on June 4, 2012.
I'm God
Clams Casino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's what I always wanted
Could never have had too many of these
Well you, quit kicking me under the table
I'm trying; will somebody make her shut up about it?
Can we settle down, please?
This world, I've been right
Take deep breaths
This world, I've been right
Take deep breaths
This world, I've been right
Take deep breaths
This world, I've been right
Take deep breaths
This world, I've been right
Take deep breaths
This world, I've been right
Take deep breaths
This world, I've been right
Take deep breaths
This world, I've been right
Take deep breaths
In Clams Casino's song "I'm God," the lyrics suggest a state of consciousness where it becomes possible to experience a higher realm of existence. The initial line "How did you know?" could be interpreted as addressing a divine being with the implication that the singer has been caught unaware, as if in a state of enlightenment or realization. Moreover, the subsequent line "It's what I always wanted" may be interpreted as the realization of a process of self-discovery that leads to the ultimate goal of understanding one's place in the universe. The lyric "Could never have had too many of these" could be interpreted as a reference to an abundance of spiritual insights or breakthroughs that are fueling the singer's change of perspective.
The use of the phrase "Will somebody make her shut up about it?" suggests an interruption in the singer's moment of clarity, which he now seeks to reclaim with a plea for peace between himself and others present. The repetition of the verse "This world, I've been right / Take deep breaths" repeatedly is the mainstay of the song, indicating the need for introspection and mindfulness to maintain this state. Ultimately, the song suggests a journey undertaken by the artist to reach an elevated level of consciousness take into consideration the pathway to self-discovery and inner peace.
