This dude is wildly overrated, I don’t care what any of you stans say. Half the time it sounds like he’s recording in his friends garage and his lyrics are decent, but not mind blowing by any means. I just don’t understand the appeal quite frankly.
Its good but isn’t up to the level of Below the Heavens. Maybe my expectations r too high bc that album was I believe the best debut since Lupe, and his was the best debut since eminem prolly…also this doesn’t sound like an Exile beat. I dunno just not his style
LOL @ the snow angel at the end. I hope this means a new Blu & Exile LP is coming soon. That and NoYork would make up for the lack of music, interviews/anything this year.
Dope ass visuals. Blu has been droppin’ dope shit lately. He has infinite styles, not many rappers have that. He’s coming up in the game with some real people too. I still bump the J&J album every day, raw shit I tell you.

To those who still just don’t “get it” – Blu is dope because of the realness factor. I’ve never listened to another emcee who I believed more. Everything about him is just drenched in honesty. Truly, I could probably hear another rapper drop the same kind of verse, and I wouldn’t think it’d be as dope, because it wouldn’t seem like them. Blu doesn’t appear to be anything he’s not. He does WHATEVER the fuck he wants. (see:NoYork)
it’s douchey when people say real recognize real, because of the implications, but…
*shrugs*
@hmm…. are you not listening to the same artist everybody else is?
if anything, blu is underrated. I dont think it is possible to overate him because any rating you give the guy he will surpass. blu is un-rateable
Man that “go listen to *insert mainstream rapper* you idiot” because someone doesn’t like an artist is played the fuck out. This guy isn’t for everybody, a trait that applies to EVERY MUSICIAN ALIVE. Now shut the fuck up and make sure Blu straps up before he gets in your ass, again.
I’m a fan of Blu’s work (below the heavens, her favorite color) but as suggested by meka and the other dude up top who commented, I dont think this in particular is quality. Again, as dude said above, the quality sounds as if he recorded his audio on a laptop. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy his music when it’s good, but theres a lot of stans who will declare something “dope” if it has his name attached to it. *spike lee voice* wake up
yo I don’t care about the quality of this joint. if anything the lack of quality adds to the rustic feel. + the video. man. this is incredible. i needed this. NoYork.
i forget who said it, but yeah. blu’s music is draped in truth. hard to find these days. if your hatin your like those who hated on tribe/dilla/common/roots/madlib. move along. this is our movement.
I don’t understand the comments here. I’ve been real critical of Blu’s recent music but this shit is DOPE. I’m digging the visuals too.. this video & the NotU music video give me some hope for NoYork. All that low budget techno rap garbage garbage quality audio bullshit had me doubting… and although the quality isn’t the best it’s better & Blu is looking back in form
can i tell the story? … guts no glory… uh… yeah.. self explanatory… uh.. seasons…
how can you not be digging this shit?!? this might be the best song i’ve heard from Blu in a WHILE. perfect timing too. lazy day off – mouthafuckin freezing outside – burn & relax. that’s what this time of year is/feels like to me
You guys trippin off the quality? I think it fits Blu’s style perfectly. His musics sounds as if it could be played on a scratchy antique vinyl record player. It’s classic material.
The game blind, I played silly games and too many charades; maskless in this masquerade. Came, conquered, and never saw. Raising hell, hoping heaven falls.
“Sun blacked out after the last bout,
I hashed out all of my issues and put a mag out;
crashed through the glass house, took the back route;
I had to travel light speed to dodge that black cloud,
raining on my parade,
sun shining but there ain’t enough shade to hide, the game blind,
I played silly games and too many charades; maskless in this masquerade.
Came, conquered, and never saw.
Raising hell, hoping heaven falls. I took an L but I never lost.
Stepping off the axis, balancing the galaxy,
realizing the facts I hid em behind reality.
Casually I dress while addressing her majesty,
flirting passively, the other palaces surrounded me once.
Crowned king humbled down to the queen, gave my kingdom up.
Became a mortal man, walking earth, seeking love.
Once was me, but still believe openly, speaking it, deviant in this one form of poetry.
Took leadership, raise selves just to coast the sea;
obedient, never ???? once known to be me.
Got free now they bumpin your dreams
with a gold chain, pimp stripe, suit and cold name.
Sweater under leather trying to tell that it’s a cold game,
I don’t mean that it won’t change…the seasons.”
Is this new? This is sick!
FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let’s hear some Below The Heavens II sometime soon…
Song is dope. Is this new? Cuz i never heard it before

for damn sure
to this day I can’t find a physical copy of Below the Heavens
Blu and Ex >>
LOL @ the snow angel at the end. I hope this means a new Blu & Exile LP is coming soon. That and NoYork would make up for the lack of music, interviews/anything this year.

I’m really feeling this, very reflective, could lay back and smoke a blunt to this one. Blu & Ex make such good music.
Is “Happy, With Your Old New Imaginary Friends” there next album?
Yea that’s magic alright.
“At this point, any Blu & Exile music is appreciated these days.”
def agree. thx 4 the post
a tom waits sample from blu & exile? this just made my day dopeboyz
Nice tune
blu your my boy!!!
this shit is dope!
So(ul) Amazing
this visual is so dope blu is so poetic
This guy is the best out!!!!!!!
Good shit..Blu spelled cognizant wrong tho, still good shit
Btw if u go on Blu’s twitter @HerFavColor he says that this is a ruff cut of the song
I saw Blu accusing Exile of leaking it yesterday on Twitter and Exile denied it lmao.
BLU WILL RULE ONE DAY . . .
Blu is a monster! >J.cole

@pff go listen to young jezzy, drake, and Wayne you fucking moron. Blu is for niggas with a real ear for music.

Many thanks to Jay Wow.

So glad Blu’s been dropping some material lately
@hmm… How is blu overrated? If ANYTHING he’s wildly underrated
Blu!!!!!
Gif of Blu eating snow at the end. lmao.
damn blu is so creative. honestly like the only one who said fuck the game and is gonna make music HIS way, so different and dope still.
Blu is too sick with it.
I wish they would do another album together
“hmm…” = immediately leave earth. you are retarded.
blu is the truth, you are silly dumb. its cool, he raps, you dont.
i forget who said it, but yeah. blu’s music is draped in truth. hard to find these days. if your hatin your like those who hated on tribe/dilla/common/roots/madlib. move along. this is our movement.
I swear. I cannot get enough of this joint and vid. literally come back here like 20 times.
I don’t understand the comments here. I’ve been real critical of Blu’s recent music but this shit is DOPE. I’m digging the visuals too.. this video & the NotU music video give me some hope for NoYork.

God All Mighty Jesus Christ Lord this is some Heavenly poetry. Blu is one of the best poets/emcee’s of our time.
You guys trippin off the quality? I think it fits Blu’s style perfectly. His musics sounds as if it could be played on a scratchy antique vinyl record player. It’s classic material.
