Blu & Exile - The World Is

[KrislynShonte]

Below the Heavens was truly a masterpiece.. a classic. 3

[showtimenate]

I feel my soul dancing outta me when i listen to this..

[MrRicardodiaz1]

@vVPrototypeVv bluism? yeah i'm a believer as well

[YourOrdinaryACE]

this is true modern day music, i don't get why people wnat to be FAMOUS SO BAD, that they Literally sell their "soul" to the devil. this is the Music of truth of modern day- what god sent to this earth so we can finally listen to music that both has a point, and has no Illuminati subliminal messages in them. THis adele, and the fray i admire the most.

[frontblunt1]

BUY THIS ALBUM.

[ChimaTheKilla]

Word to heaven. Nas- The World Is Yours is the most insprational rap song of all time. Everybody and their mothers are in love with the song, sampled the song, rapped over it, repeated a verse from it or just remembered the song by heart. Honestly I think if you don't like Illmatic I just think your scared of life changing lyrics and legendary beats.

[aaronschainm]

@ChimaTheKilla if u dont like illmatic u have no taste

[JA25o]

Blu is ill.

[Chris78631]

I need to have this on my hands, people don't even go buy albums nowadays wtf !

[FLYBYNIYT]

tribute to pete rock n nas

[astewart7887655]

Love the message in this song. If you can imagine happiness then you can make a path to get it, instead of dwelling in the present and doing nothing.

[vVPrototypeVv]

[griminal1234]

wanye talking about his a goblin and this nigga blu speaking the truth. for those who think wayne is the best rapper alive can look in the mirror and slap them selves.

[bloodpoolyt]

the trumpets / horns on this song 2007 sound like the someones on jay-z - thank you - blueprint 3 2009 almost the same timing and pitch.

[cpassa52]

@bloodpoolyt yea i hear that. its pretty similar but its a different chord progression

[BBBeatTV]

freesh!!!!!!!!!

[CashMuhney]

I was ashamed I was pirating Blu's music so I decided to purchase Below the Heavens through AMAZON because Blu is just to dam good and too dam real to not have my money. All you underground fans, Stand up and start supporting REAL MUSIC

[drubreeze87]

@CashMuhney  WORD!!!!

[CashMuhney]

Wow this shit is dope been listening to it lately.

Below the Heavens just keeps getting better every time I listen

[vVPrototypeVv]

Christians have the Bible, Muslims have the Quran, Jews have the Torah, I have the lyrics to this song

[creamnall]

@vVPrototypeVv WORD

[westside159]

a place my moms told me about , where they bathed in flames

[davidfreshyyy]

its thin line btw wack and dope in underground hip hop. grow up a little and u will find out about the difference. i was like u when i was younger. this conversation indeed is over now. it doesn't go nowhere.

[davidfreshyyy]

[vVPrototypeVv]

I dont know about you guys, but this song explains my life story perfectly

[slamadir]

I can't believe I found this guy by accident. This guy is so good he should've gone mainstream and sold out years ago. Much respect.

[davidfreshyyy]

best album of the 80s: eric b n rakim "paid n full"

best album of the 90s: nas "illmatic"

best album of the 00s: blu "b.t.h."

period.

[OPL21stJS]

@davidfreshyyy your wrong its the Carter 3

[davidfreshyyy]

@OPL21stJS > why??? lil wayne has so many features on this album, that u barely can say its his... that's one reason why carter 3 is not on the list. the other is, that's not an album it's a compelation of (great) songs, but they don't paint a bigger picture. illmatic is foor ex. like a book, with a biginning a climax and and end, a caleidoscope of nas' reality as young man living in the projects. same blus record.

[OPL21stJS]

@davidfreshyyy dude i was being sarcastic lol lil wayne is terrible and should never be in the same sentence with "hip hop"

[davidfreshyyy]

@OPL21stJS lil wayne should definitely be mentioned in same sentence with hiphop, cause he's a dope mc. of course he does commercial-rap-music...but his skillz are extraordinary, creative, funny n full of unique word plays. if u lol u don't know shit bout hiphop... go and listen to some jeru the damaja and keep saying like other idiots that he's one of the greatest mc's... all these people hating on lil wayne must be like 12 years old and judge rappers by their commercial success.

[OPL21stJS]

@davidfreshyyy ok now i lost all my respect for you. he's not an mc btw Canibus, Diabolic, Jedi Mind Tricks, Big L, Serum, Tragedy Khadafi, Nas, Pharoe Monch etc are MC'S. get off mainstream

[davidfreshyyy]

@OPL21stJS wayne would burn jedi mind tricks, canibus, diabolic and t.k. to ashes... nas and pharao monch probably not. look, wayne is a genius in his own way! he has no deep lyrics and doesn't talk about a lot of relevant stuff, but says that hip hop is just that. wayne has a very unique airness in his rhymes, it seems like he never wrote a word down, it comes so naturally, its amazing, he's like mozart in his early days, jedi mind tricks want to be mcs so much that they allmost fail.

[OPL21stJS]

@davidfreshyyy omg calling wayne,mozart kid shut the fuck up because you really dont know shit. Canibus- Poet Laureate II , lol you probably wouldnt understand his vocab such with Master Thesis and Cirriculum 101. what your going to tell me that Gay Wayne is better than immortal techn,Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Krs-1. just please stfu Lil wayne wouldnt beat any1 except Soulja Boy. listen to uncommon valor by JMT, you clearly dont know shit besides mainstream.hit me back wen u listen 2 reel musik

[davidfreshyyy]

@OPL21stJS the comparison to mozart is obviously an exaggeration and if u knew his music u would know what i meant. i did not say that wayne is better than rakim, big daddy kane, krs1, because he isn't. wayne doesn't belong in their league. but he's not wack either. u r hatin' cause he's done some horrible pop songs, but u don't see that he can rap. i listened to jmt's violent by design when it came out in 2000 myself. album should be called rap by design, designed for wannabe intellectual heads

[davidfreshyyy]

@OPL21stJS stfu and listen 2 dialiated peoples

[davidfreshyyy]

@OPL21stJS it's ppl like u who don't see the difference btw blu, freestyle fellowship, bahamadia, murs, dereliks, mf doom, nas on one side and dialated peoples, jmt, rasco, canibus, high n mighty on the other (wack) side...so fucking boring, infantile with no soul, no flow...u have no ears for what rap music is or can be. u probably listen to no other music, maybe that's why, if u want to i could recommend some good jazz records for starters.

[OPL21stJS]

@davidfreshyyy lol keep talking you keep making yourself look so stupid. ROFL i dont have good ears, nigguh you listen to LIL WAYNE HAHAHAHAH !!!! go listen to real good underground hip hop

[davidfreshyyy]

@OPL21stJS here's another wack underground track that u might like...

promoe "off the record" ... enjoy

[OPL21stJS]

@davidfreshyyy lol your telling me that i dont know music, but you think Wayne is good ROFL. well tell me when you listen to REAL HIP HOP. btw Dilated People are decent they are not even that good. its so sad that gay wayne hypnotized you. well im not going to argue because im right and i cant believe im having an arguement about how wayne is better. im not replying to your stupid ass comments cus its pointless.btw listen to 'Im not a Human Being" its a whack record by wayne you should like.

[MCSubliminalSol]

Im quoting you as one of the great influences in my life for my college essay, <3 much love Blu.

[vVPrototypeVv]

Realist, song, ever.

[Casselman91]

i think lyrically soulja boy is a bit better than blu..

examples like "i get moneyyyyy" show that hes a soulful dude but still i have respect for blu..

[jedrekthejedi]

@Casselman91 hahaha

[Brothaninja]

@Casselman91 wtf

[DJJazzyFlashBooty]

@Casselman91 Please be fucking joking, dear god.

[Casselman91]

@DJJazzyFlashBooty i swear no one gets sarcasm on youtube..

[chaotiiiiiiic]

"I only talk from my heart so open yours when you listening

Every man has his own heaven the difference is the way that he envision it"

realest shit i've ever heard.

[Bluntedd91]

simple amazing. only way to describe this masterpeice of an album

[Bluntedd91]

@Bluntedd91

simply*

[JaLomangino]

that was some knock my socks off realness

[Xy1on]

The cover of below the heavens is tite.

[tariqamazin]

love dis shit!!! Blu is soooo underrated!

[da1fromdaheightz]

shit made me tear

[DoubleD0wn]

shit brings a tear to my eye

[danpon1]

I got the first part of the first verse tatted on my forearm ... my first ink ever for my 19th birthday last week ... "And if you miss, you at least will be amongst your own crowd - I smile"

[TheLaughingMan69]

wow. I hope this guy gets recognized. Hip Hop need healthy tracks like these in such times.

[FluidFloe]

That Good Shit

[ptua8]

one of the best songs EVER period!!!great lyrics...great beats..!!!!

[freep2050]

heaven is a fantasy created by man so dont believe in it ? shit got me thinkin.

[ProlyfikShotz]

@freep2050 He isn't saying that heaven isn't real, if that's what your thinking. Listen to the rest of the words carefully

[freep2050]

@ProlyfikShotz nah i wasnt thinking thatt.

good lookin out tho.

[saambilik]

this is what i call hip hop

[c0llaz0]

the best

[beefycakezz]

i agree completely gator, havent heard anything bad from blu, cept in my opinion you should try to make every beat orginal, and equally different.

The lyrics are explosive, Im serious , im surprized you havent blown up.

patients bro, i mean look at the people that got famous off youtube, Soulja Boy??

lmfao no talent.

[Penultimate]

@beefycakezz sorry to be the spelling police, but patients are people in a hospital. you mean patience. :)

[beefycakezz]

good shit man, ima tell everyone i know about you. lol

Your gunna make it kid , keep it up!

[hellamelanie]

Classic hip-hop like this can't be heard on modern day radio.

[deadlyErnest1]

saw him performing this track last week. crowd went nuts.

[tme41581]

blu is underappreciated

[zarenj21]

nas, the world is your. THIS IS DOPE!

[ilikefluffycow]

Smartest and deepest rapper ever

[poshchas]

i feel like i'm EXTREMELY late finding this guy, but good music is timeless....

[drepeterson34]

Found this album just browsing, Classic shit! True music with substance never gets play! Must get this.

[Zappurtv]

Deepest track when you look and think about the lyrics written.

[MiaAlien]

Just think about it every man has his own heaven..but shit you gotta go through hell to be a man first*

[MiaAlien]

somebody once told me that I'm already n hell...freedom's a state of mind & just the heart of me's in hell. --man the depth of that statement is incredible

[millelirerulez]

sto disco è na bomba!

[Wtrimble18]

[ScarceOnes]

[VQuincy]

"bitches used to ask me to kick a flow 2 em next thing u kno im stroking it"

[Tamashiigensou]

The sample is "I'm so Proud" by the Impressions..before curtis mayfield went solo, I think.

[sugarcanedavis]

hip hop slowly staying true.

[alexisbutterfly]

[yungindaroqk5tar124]

[juleswinckers]

So you can call it hell but bro

I'll just say I'm below the heavens

[noypirulez]

part of the song is from

Nas - The world is yours

[TheFremen087]

The whole album kind of has an "Illmatic" feel to it. Just heightens this particular artist's talent. Still original and frankly, great. I have to go get this one of my days.

[mackb]

i agree

[kennboy1]

@TheFremen087 Yeah you got a point, I like his reference to The World Is Yours by Nas (also on Illmatic), this is crazy.

[hypebeasttt]

bump this in my car all the time.

i was at a stop light

some kid asked me what song this was.

lol

[HollaAtChaNiP]

@hypebeasttt thats tight lol that would make my day

[CANNONakaHADDY]

@hypebeasttt yooo i need dis jawn how did u get da cd

[jackmihaf]

@hypebeasttt

So Amazing

[TRIPLESIXSICCNESS]

good shit

wtf, waht up with thise suicidal muthafuckas saying hip-hop saved teir life.

[Krysdamax]

fire beat, and song

hand claps

[swordsaswing1320]

One of the best performers I have seen in a long time. This is what hip hop needs to be like. My favorite song on the album. If anybody ever gets the chance to see him rock the mic do it. It is worth the price of admission to see this talented artist.

[DagoRamirez88]

I think it was Pete Rock's Idea to say "Who's world is this" in his collab with Nas

[yesumMassa]

0:01

[hazysmoke420]

everybody should go out and spend money on this stuff to support the tru hip hop community

[caps1in1ya1ass1]

This is probably stuff I would actually go out and buy, and that's saying something when you can easily get this for free. Amazing stuff.

[sigmarick]

thanks blu for saving my life

[greenleaf2091]

same

[chhrischin]

hip hop saved my life

[eDdaSound]

Wow! it's so good Music! :D

[PsykoticTN]

one of my favorites songs of all time

[ImNotYourFriend212]

Wow. Dis is dope.

[shrizulu]

the world is mine fine dimes rewind time to get ina fine line

[Augury08]

This album got old after awhile. but it's styll a classic.

[ramafia09]

beautiful music

[upbreak]

I just want to say that on the dawn of the new year and christmas. This artist was an awesome discovery to find. I had such a good time listening to him and I remember only good things and plus he seems to sample "who's world is this" from NAS. Big up to Blu in 07, 08 and hopefully I hear from him 2009

[rapkid69]

"he seems to sample "who's world is this" from NAS"

no fuckin shit dumbass

you seem to be some kind of hip hop genius for figuring that out

[upbreak]

thanks for the comment. I am not sure anyone else has pointed it out... this is why I brought it up. Now stop hatin and start enjoying the shit...

thanks for the unecessary harshness.

[DZA9mm]

lol your fucked up, hahaha, but understand where you were comin from, lol

[trimbyi]

this is my favorite track on the album

big ups to blu and exile

[MarkietheRIGGAman]

if anyone's looking for what ex sampled on this, y'all should know a LOT of soul songs have that kind of melody. after lots of searching, i found a song that potentially could be the one exile used.

Barbara Mcnair - It Happens Everytime

[JamieBarnes11]

Anyone else finding it hard to find a copy of the album to buy?

[drestack75]

yes me. they keep creative music out of reach these days

[lgr5570]

[Sagura85]

[Boroeonot]

[Ghost1X3]

Wow Hip Hop in its purist form....Ima young Spitter myself & i mean feel i jus got influnced & this Dj is the Truth

[southernCal909]
