Back in 2008, Blu and Ta’Raach ventured to London. And while out there, Blu speaks with SoulCuture about the folks that want another Below The Heavens album, his producing alter ego (GODleeBarnes) and the current climate for releasing music. In new Blu news… he released the tracklist to theGODleeBarnes(lp) which I’ve included after the jump and dropped this disheartening message.

He spelled his name wrong
noooooooooooooooooooooooo
Thats suck !! Anyway i still want the split version !
Its awesome how a dude like Blu can put out a movie and shit without any mainstream recognition.
Can someone split this shit up
i know someone split this shit up and get us a link! it does suck that there’s no HQ version
shake can you split it Up?
oh my…
you give people free music they complain…
it takes bars, sweat and money to do this music…
it’s not cheap, appreciate an artist like blu while he’s still underground, cuz he could be the next common…
Cadillac commercials and Universal Mind Control *dead*
he should split it and clean it up, that would be soooooo great
i wanna hear that Bob smiles project he did.
“what a feelin’ when ya life’s done buildin’/ and you chillin’ in yo house witta wife a few children/ feelin’ like you struck a million”
Thought I’d repost the artwork for y’all, in case ya need something for the iTunes…

ROCK ALBUM
Someone gotta split this for the masses!
@ enjay
yous a good shit
thats the best interview ive ever heard
Not too far into the interview yet, but the dude’s admiration/respect for cats like J*Davey, Sa-Ra, PPP, Georgia Anne Muldrow, really explains the C.R.A.C. album.
Blu… problem
Below The Heavens… classic
waxin’ poetics over GODleeBarnes… priceless
I can prolly split this in Logic Pro if mothafuckas are really fiendin’ for it that bad…
Using the space bar > not using the space bar
i recognize a few of these tracks, some of them are floating around in a higher quality on the web, and i know a few of the higher quality tracks have been on itunes since 08′
and cosign on last enjay. post
enjay u should totally do that
enjay is truly one of my children
enjay…….that sounds like a wonderful idea
split itttttttttttt
yeah, a lot of these i’ve had for a long time. but there is some new shit, like that crowns joint. that’s probably my favorite on here.
yo shake “unreleased” j. cole – playground

Haha i’m workin’ on it now but it’ll take awhile fam… I’ll have it tonight though.
@supporter
already posted. it was featured on elite’s mixtape.
Blu is a genius MC but he spells shit like a fucking idiot.
what’s happening with blu’s actual retail release on the major?
good looks enjay…im really looking forward to a split version of it…wish there was a HQ version tho
this maybe a stupid question, but is there a way someone can equalize the sound and make it a little better?

@gM
jesus was a genius who spoke the common language
blu is a genius who raps in common verses
let that last line marinate in the mind
I am still a genius, don’t use me in past tense
Thanks @ supporter
any split track versions since we have a tracklist???

@JayCatch
======================================================
Anybody know where i can find the hq versions of theses songs?
thanks for splittin this up too enjay, i only listened to like 10mins of the mp3 but i didnt like how it was all one track. cant wait to peep the seprate version.
LMAO @ Jesus.
That Shit Is Funny.
ive had gloryus, its okay, grandmas kitchen, til we die, all the kings men, spanish winter, city of lost angels, and on mars all for over a year in high quality. the versions on here are slightly different though.
what is track 9 called? i’m in the process of splitting this thing up…
09_BeGO(o)D!(Feat.Sene).
If I had to guess, I’d say it’s called BeGO(o)D!
ohh ok thanks
most if not all of the already released material can be found on his (so)ul amazing mixtapes 1,2, and 3
Almost done splittin’ fam, sit tight.
I was gonna split this up the other but didn’t think yall would want it since the quality is god awful
yea i just figured if this is the only release we are getting might as well be able to have tracks
im doing my own split right now, will upload when its done
Unless the track names are different I think only 9 of these songs are on on the soul amazing mixtapes.
My split. 11 better quality songs from my collection. In itunes format, my bad for that. Anyways, Enjoy 2dB’z!

Someone should make an EP out of the high quality tracks titled:
TheGodLeeBarnesEP (OrHoweverTheFuckHeWouldSpellIt)
respect to BobSmiles for his version
here’s my version.. didn’t include the higher quality songs for the sake of consistency. if this is how he gave it to us, this is how i plan to listen to the full album and i’ll keep those higher quality versions on the soul amazing mixes..

My Boy Blu
Thanks for the split versions guys much appreciated!! Where’s that guy that balanced the Jay Electronica snippet and practically made it a CDQ? Maybe he could do the same with this album…

damn i hope blu doesnt stop rappin any time soon. i mean his productions are dope but nobody goes as hard as him
haha blu finally dropped this huh…Im on it, sene’s on it, fam rep’s on it, haha, yes sir…a good look indeed….thanks for all the love and support ya’ll, Blu and all of the dirty science crew appreciates it…
I haven’t been able to get over ‘TilWeDie -> Crowns for the past two weeks…just stuck in my brain on loop
