Blu sits down with Jesse Thorn for The Sound of Young America. If ever you were wondering about the life of one of the most talented emcees doing it right now, this is definitely something you shouldn’t pass up. From the beginning of his days as a battle MC in Los Angeles, to growing up in his house hold bumping DMX, not flipping out crazy to Common’s I Used to Love H.E.R. and more. The realness he protrays is dope. He doesn’t need to be one of those kids that go and say Yo, I’ve been bumpin nothing but classics since I knew what hip hop was, I never listened to that Ma$e shit. That Timbaland & Magoo shit. Shut the fuck up. I never understood why some people are so afraid to admit they listened to some stuff when they were young. Like saying you only listened to Eric B & Rakim, KRS-One, etc makes you cooler?

bubbles?
I really liked this too, made me wanna listen to the album again.
My most embarrassing cd had to be Skee-lo’s “I Wish” until I left it on the windowsill one day while I was at school and it warped. haha.
All of a sudden I like Blu a whole lot more.
Blu is fuckin sick…soulful as hell..if u don’t have that album..get that….I saw him perform at Cal Poly a couple months ago with this group called The Antidotes…they jus dropped and EP which is real sick too and signed to a label in Japan…I have the link to download that too…here u go…check that out…lemme know what u think..

Blu is the truth…!
Thanks for supporting my man Jesse, Shake. You should check out more of the hip hop interviews on the show. He did an amazing interview with Killer Mike that you should peep if you haven’t already.
john barnes for prez
this was a nice
peep into his life.
Anyone have The C.O.R.E. Mixtape he mentions around the 20 minute mark? I found 2 links but no track listing with “My Thoughts” on it like he says.
“My Thoughts” = “Stress Off The Chest”
Ahh, thanks man
