The presence of people from so many walks of life made the bus a natural setting for his message, according to Kalico. The song reflects some of the very tough emotions experienced by everyone. “Oh my God, stop the world and let me get off,” he would sometimes tell his mom. The song’s title, “Stop the World,” was originally part of a phrase Kaliko used when life would get incredibly hectic. “She thought I was really homeless! I had to show her the cameras across the street! She looked at the hundred and said is this real?” (more below) “She cried when I gave her the $100 bill,” Tech N9ne related on Instagram. The famous Kansas City rapper returned the favor, giving the rider a $100. At one point during the video shoot at the Crown Center stop, a real bus rider mistook Tech N9ne for a homeless person and dropped a couple coins into his cup. The video features Kansas City rap artist Tech N9ne playing a homeless man.

“We’re just really trying to have a good message that you’re not alone.” “The bus represents the world,” said video director Jason Cantu. That’s why he chose a RideKC bus as a rolling soundstage for filming a new music video for the new song, “Stop the World.” The video debuted March 29. He sees a single place where the community congregates as one, each rider facing their own unique set of challenges. When Kansas City hip-hop artist Krizz Kaliko looks at a bus, he sees an American melting pot.
