Cover art for Millennium Dodo lyrics by Atmosphere

easily my favorite off the new album it took me a while but i assume that millenium dodo is a play on the ship in star wars- millenium falcon i think this could be about sluggo and being on the road all the time and shit playing shows but there is definitely more to it than that

Nah man, Millenium Dodo refers to someone who was the 'idiot' of the era. Dodo means someone who is out of fashion, dead, passed away... And thats why he mentions Gangstarr, Eyedea and the other one who died. They died because they did drugs and other stupid shit aka dodo. Also, it talks about drunk driving a lot and smoking weed. "Cotton mouth" from the lyric says about weed. dunno.

Ok i understand your interpretation, but a dodo is also a bird, and it's a well known archetype for an extinct species. A dodo is also a cultural symbol of dead or soon to be extinct concepts and such. I think what he is expressing here is that he's in his own lane, avoiding the "dodo" society of today that he has made clear will fall in a lot of his previous work. Eyedea certainly was no idiot... so i think your way off.
