[ashezketchum]

Haha yeah..."cleared" let's just say it got "cleared"

[RapEmphasis]

@ashezketchum hahahaha

[thatladfromsheffield]

fuck knows how they ever got a John Lennon sample cleared

[ofashodo]

@thatladfromsheffield hmmmmm 

[hakeem731]

Blu is among thee elite when it comes to conscious rap//check out my vids

[BriSa26437]

So cool :)

[shirin2556]

@mellomoreira its a john lennon song, sublime? hahah

[EtchedSketch]

@mellomoreira not

[shirin2556]

@mellomoreira lennon

[ASTstoner]

Love this song to! (:

[gnome95]

im done with people just saying that the mainstream is destroying hip hop i whole heartedly agree but i think we should start doing things about it educate the people around you with hip hop.

[debo56two]

damn i love this song so much

[S0xpatscelts]

every time i hear this song i get chills when he says "hold on i think thats just an angel singing lennon to me"

[kennywu2k10]

if this came out anytime durring the golden era it would be known by lots of people as one of the best hip hop songs ever made. it still is in my opinion, ive heard a lot of music and this song is one of the best just in todays mainstream hip hop focus songs like this arent as spread to the people as they should be, but rappers like blu are changing that.... if you see the E dropem.

[PhoenixDerHamster]

It's really cool how there is a conversation between Blu and the track he is sampling. It's almost as if Blu is sitting down and chatting with Lennon himself. Truly brilliant.

[auhafezi]

i like it how hip hop is making other genres more accessible to the listening community. rock music does not appeal to me like the beatles, john lennon...etc. yet artists like blu are ensuring that i can appreciate their music in a format which i love (hip hop). 

[WCSM12]

@auhafezi same here its opened so many genre's such as jazz, classical, rock etc.

[cesar12991]

6 people need to die.

[kmacc4real]

Oh Those 6 Fxcks That Dislike This Song Go Jump Off A Bridge With Urine In The Water Yall Gunna Hit On The Way Down!!!

[g0a1ieguy]

this is honestly the best rap song i have ever heard. i listen to it almost every day multiple times

[eachneverydaynosleep]

needs more views this shit if so good

Blu >

[chilazcano]

I went to go see blu this spring break. He's a freaking lyrical genius. Not only that but he's humble too, the dude was already leaving the building when we called his name and he actually came back to say whats up. I actually got to take a picture with him

[sariatoss1]

Ok so Hold On by Lennon is one of my favorite songs of all time. I'm a die hard hip hop fan too though so the combination is just perfect. I'm hard to impress and most artists I feel would have butchered my favorite song but this guy just nails it... so awesome

[Locke45er]

Its like impossible for this guy to make a bad song. And has yet to even release a legit album.Not even Pac,Biggy, or any other supposed "great" can say that.

[omgomgla]

@Locke45er he has released 3 albums. below the heavens, johnson and johnson , and the piece talks. in addition to about 7 mixtapes

[AMiniEmil]

Who are the 5 Idiots?

[SimplyRealityHipHop]

This songs the only thing keeping me up right now..Life's rough, this song having my name, lennon, and lyricism in it..makes me see out the next day, everytime.

[magikmr100]

funny thing is every blu song i listen toi always got to play twice ....got to!

its a sad thing to see the state of music today im so hip hop and i realize its definatly not dead its jus in coma ..a sleeping giant and these new school cats thinks it juss a statue...come closer fam and here the heart beat through this thick shell... but they aint lookin at nothin..... juss walkin blind.....it hurts the soul yet inspires the mind smh

[rx7sign]

Real music.

[madmulatto91]

This is good music. Good hip-hop music.

We need more of this in Europe, as well as America, because these modern trends are killing hip-hop. Let's not let that happen and make more good music. Johnson&Jonson, keep up the good work!!!

[BlackCloverRecords]

this is a john Lennon sample. sorry, i love the original song too much to even give this a chance. if you love the beauty of the beat, i seriously suggest you listen to the song they sampled. it's amazing.

[rapperOHM]

@BlackCloverRecords part of the core of hip-hop is building upon the foundations laid down by our elders, If you love the original song so much that's all the more reason to listen to this and see how the thing that you love is influencing future generations

[SpadeHand]

@BlackCloverRecords Dude, we all know it's a sample. The official title even includes "Feat. John Lenonn". Look at the comment at the top. The one with all the thumbs up.

[Israeli3030]

@BlackCloverRecords Its a good song, mac.

[sebastianmendieta]

Thanks blu, hip hop is not dead.

[rateb08]

[ricerice566]

This song blew me away when I first heard last summer.

[OCsinner714]

beautiful beautiful song.... this right here. is true music. it gave me goosbumps. wat is drake compared to this? this is atrist music

[Tboyish]

most all the mainstream is weak, but drake is legit brooo. He be spitting about whats real and not as materialistic as all the other major label rappers but yeah drake in no way compares to blu; but still hes the nigga foshoo dont be hating, cause whatever it is; if you listen you could be relatin

[CudixVanity]

@Tboyish drake needs to pick his side..either you rap about the bullshit or some real shit...

[fauxinstylin]

Make the world smile

[c1rcaRC93]

DAMN, ever since Blu did Below the Heavens I've been lookin for more of him does any 1 know what mixtape this is from & where i can get it. Sending me a link to where i can download the album would be cool. ")

[O2Squared]

@c1rcaRC93 this track is from the group "Johnson & Jonson" aka Blu & Mainframe from their self titled LP Johnson & Jonson. He released another album with Ta'Raach as C.R.A.C named "The Piece Talks". There other mixtapes/unofficial albums by him around the net too.

[ryeryeRAB]

@c1rcaRC93 Look up his mixtape, A whole lot of soul partner vol.1

[SirBentley3000]

I don't care who you are or what kind of music you dig, this is music! This will have you listening to the words and nodding your head all in agreement with the beat! KEEP IT ALIVE!

[SwearIWontLose152]

this song is amazing

[PleaseDontBeLong]

Wow, I didn't think I would like it, but it's fucking awesome.

[arizeal]

there is no rock, there is no hip hop, there is just music, real music from the heart that can touch your soul

[altamont16]

[RapAddict420NoStatic]

[TheCrFs]

Beautiful.soothing.chill.epic.­classic.Hip.Hop

[djkaseone]

Dope!

[TheJalapeno]

I'm not a John, I'm a Jon. But this song is still beautiful regardless of your name.

[Rt11011]

this not only makes my skin tingle all over my body, but i can feel it in my HEART!

[X831HUSTLER]

this was on repeat for so long on my ipod one of my favorite songs of all time and its awesome because my name is john two :)

[graffgunspool]

R.I.P CHON CHON

[AJx408x]

this song is powerful. damn

[ThePoet011]

I wish there were a radio station that only played "underground" jams. Artists like these dudes, blu and exile, eyedea and abilities, 9th wonder, atmosphere, brother ali, oldschool common, murs, mayer hawthorne, Felt, Nujabes, mos, slum village, blackalicious, aesop, blueprint, living legends, visionaries, krs, and all the other true artist.

[bigbruce1989]

this song is amazing

[SpadeHand]

I can't fucking believe it. A rap song is making me tear up.

[madzikud02]

@SpadeHand thats what you call real music this guy is gna blow i can usually feel it. give it another year hel be big

[tdeluna]

@SpadeHand Yo, if this song gives you the chills, check out Fly (Song of LIberation) also by Blu. This dude is the truth!

[DrBluntss]

did u just say this is TOO good?! wtf I cant even explain how I feel about this song lol.Blu is the dopest emcee in the game right now cant wait for some new shit he's droppin with Exile.

[ItsAlexDuh]

Underground's Finest.

[russianfantastico]

that was so good!

[hashbrownsmlp]

this is tooooooooooooooooo good. gives me chills

[Rt11011]

i know right

oooooh

[soulst83]

The Instrumental Version of this album just released on iTunes!....check it out!!!

[Back0Pack]

Such a sick sample and song

[righteouswealthy]

WOWxDope!

[NWAsMostWanted]

Only person who could use a John Lennon sample correctly. If Lennon were alive he would appreciate Blu for using his sample. How come we don't hear music with a positive message that uplifts all communities. Instead we got this bum ass people like Soulja Boy who screw up and give hip hop a bad name.

[boxerlowks22]

Great words dawg..WORD! :D

[insidejerk]

yeah but if blu was signed to a major and every suburban lexus driving kid was bumpin his shit it would lose its meaning and blu wouldnt be rappin about the same stuff. im ok with soulja boy cuz its gives me a divide, them herbs can have soulja, we got blu.

[shutthefuckuploser]

we got underground i dont want this to be on the radio.

[SoulSnatchaz]

why not? then you can hear it even more since you love it so much!

[russianfantastico]

@NWAsMostWanted No... Souja Boy's songs are fun, and was just a teen when he got big. Not everyone can sing/write about something deep, not everyone can make something that you can relate to, that's life. Why not be the change you wanna see in the world?

[Leezo2k10]

@russianfantastico Blu wrote this when he was 22/21, so your point is invalid

[colinniloc99]

holy god, this is amazing. so much soul, plus an amazing sample!

[Codthegod93]

this song is sick!!!

[colinniloc99]

told you dude.

[bullsfan234]

where can i buy this or download and is it in stores????

[N00BFORLUNCH]

dope

[adrian199151]

This is one of my new favorite songs.

[Back0Pack]

Wow. A John Lennon sample. This shit is so dope.

[Epeated]

DAMNNNNNNNN

YO!! this is so hot. wow. its like... get your swag on.

[TiNoO007]

this dude did Hip Hop Below the heavens. Soul on johnson&johnson did country on bad news barnes. did instrumental. C.R.A.C.

[collette9]

[theforgottenking07]

[rlopezcreativegenius]

[jameshawkinson]

[keithis1337]
