The Adventures of Blueprint: Episode 1 - The story of "Radio-Inactive"

[tp34rcy]

rhymesayers, you guys hit fucking gold with this dude.

[aquamammal]

Fuck the radio.

XVX for life, R.A.S.H. 'til death.



[oxide112]

your still the main reason i dont turn my radio on ^^

radio doesnt deserve blueprint period,

[Sagefrakrobatik]

@langfordjay Thats completely wrong. How can you not want to hear Katty Perry Lady Gaga Lil Wayne and Rhina 24/7

[Jah560]

Im jst a lucky Japanese rapper who gt to learn english. So im nt supposed to hav as much understanding to american hiphop as native english speakers n american hiphop lovers. Bt, its jst nt so hard for me to tel that Blue print has talent n hes talkin about the truth. Well, nt only Blueprint, bt the whole rymesayers. I think they are the future of my definition of hiphop. I hope that one day, I can share the stage wit Blueprint n the rappers frm rymesayers. much love to the real hiphopers. Peace

[Sagefrakrobatik]

@Jah560 Japanese huh? thats ironic look up a song called Yuri Kochiyama by Blu Scholars its about the Japanese activist. I just came accross it

[RiOTMaK3Rx09]

Im actually happy they pissed Blueprint off becasue Radio-inactive is one of the best songs I've ever heard

[Flex4545]

We have to wait til April 5th?! Damn you!

[mewt520]

the 1 thumbs down was posted by the radio 107 main dj (DJ Helen Keller)

[blackpanther6389]

@mewt520 That's one of the funniest things I've heard in a really long time honestly xD.

[scottburns90]

rhymesayers. now that eyedea has sadly left us does that mean a spot on the roster is open for a thought provoking mc/poet?

[ThePyroPsychos]

@scottburns90 Eyedea's irreplaceable bro. 

[kickinitonthetube]

I remember seeing Blueprint at the 09 soundset and imo, his stage presence and performance blew everyone else away. It was really the only performance that made it worth standing in the blazing sun.

[buckeyefan05]

Please Tell me it wasn't Paul Strong or Canahda that did that to Blueprint. I seriously hope not. This is the reason why I don't listen to commercial radio.

[dijufos]

Yes man tell them tell them

[bakewon]

WOW... his voice sounds different from when he's rapping

I mean seriously dayum

[jammer897]

is rhymesayers a label, like young money....not COMPARING U GUYS AT ALL....just wondering exactly cuz i found rhymesayers through atmosphere

[Matthew2DaBravoradda]

@jammer897 yea but ther better and dont have as much bullshit artists as young money then again every artist on rhymesayers i like!

[scib1111]

@jammer897 Rhymesayers Entertainment is a underground hip hop label co-founded by Slug (Sean Daley) from Atmosphere and I believe Siddiq his childhood friend... not 100% on Siddiq but thats just off old memory at 2:30am... FYI... Rhymesayers is the Mecca of underground hip hop :)

[leifbrostrom]

@scib1111 you are correct.

[AlexIsSmalll]

so inspiring

[tesavage91]

inspiring. 

[Sagefrakrobatik]

If anyone is interested there is a recent article in XXL magazine about the radio industry and why it is repeatitive. Its worth checking if though most of XXL is straight garbage

[powderedwaterpudding]

Print, you are the fucking man.

[thegoldenhero]

copping the album...rhymesayers probably one the best independent hip hop labels

[chriscancer13]

@thegoldenhero Def jux is dead, so RS is the only indie rap label.

[THEMAYNE15]

@chriscancer13 theres also massline and stones throw

[SupremeSoulstice]

Just copped radio-Inactive on itunes after watching the video for it on youtube.. Blueprint just gained another fan.. Good shit my man! Keep pushing, keep progressing brutha!!! Bless up!

[SpikeyJamez]

@SupremeSoulstice, Check out Greenhouse (Blueprint & Illogic) Electric Purgatory EP part 1 and 2.

Is sick and edgy.

[thotink]

hell-fuckin-yeah, blue! show them clueless mothafuckas whats up. im sick of hearin the same shit over and over again on the radio. there's a reason they invented mp3 players... so we dont have to listen to that stupid shit 24/7.

[Wiscompton608]

what was the first track of blueprints, the one they didn't play?

[JmoROCKpants]

The only reason I don't like radio is because it's ridiculously repetitive. Some new sound would be great.

[OM3N1R]

@JmoROCKpants Radio will likely soon become a medium only used for news and those who drive a car old enough to still have a radio. I can personally admit i haven't listened to the radio for at least 2 years, not because i dislike it (which i do), but because it has become so much more convenient to do otherwise.

[JmoROCKpants]

@OM3N1R That makes sense, as I do find myself listening to NPR more frequently than I listen to any music station.

[regularasselo]

so theres more coming soon right rhymesayers?

[TheRealRhymesayers]

@regularasselo yes there will be more coming!

[darkhorse10036]

This is very inspiring! I am a Hip Hop producer in NYC who go to beat battles or showcases and Ive been told that my music is "underline Hip Hop" by some big name producers and A&Rs who want to hear more Radio-Pop music beats. Because they wont get that from me, they give me that same BS advice, asking me if I'm sure I want to play my music, and that I need to fit the format of the event. C'mon man.

Work hard, keep living your dream, and supply your passion!

[videoshirt]

blueprint is DOPE i saw him in nashville 08 with atmosphere his lyrics are amazing

[1mR1CHbtch]

mother FUCK whoever controls what gets played on the radio!!

[nickv1212]

@1mR1CHbtch A deaf guy

[FLASHKiiD210]

rhymesayers best in the biz hands down to me

[ViktatheSlicksta]

so sick

[manifest918]

Great story, inspiring.

[ilirj88]

"so am i WRONG or SECURE if i really dont care??!!"

and i couldnt help but grin when harper told the "dont fit the format" story. hearing that made that line in radio-inactive a shit ton cooler haha

[sagan1]

Goddamn, a lot more respect for Blueprint, the simple fact that he had an in and didn't change a thing shows more strength than most have.

[MrSeanlamkins]

i love you.

[REVAMPtheindustry]

"i was like, no way these motherfuckers wanna play my shit" damn modest print.

[onemanarmyasonrip210]

Hip Hop Is The True Lesson of Don't Judge a Book By It's Cover

[onemanarmyasonrip210]

I Have'nt Listen to the Radio Since I've Met Hip Hop If They Started Playin Blueprint and Rhymesayers World Wide I Bet Alot of Kids and Young Adults Would Wake Up and Think About What They're Listening to , Learn to Grow. I'm Very Grateful I Had Older Brother Introducing Me to Music Like Del and Blueprint All of Rhymsayers . Unno If It's me Growing Up or Thinkin To Much But The Music Made Me Look At Life a Lot Differently and a Lot more Friendlier or More Understanding Towards Life/People.

[ChuOnWax]
