I just want Memoirs to come out already. I was so disappointed with NoYork, too much experimenting from Blu. He needs Exile to craft those sick beats for him to just flow over.
@shamizy i know exactly how you feel.. but then again without experimentation hip hop would have never went onto this brighter tomorrow movement blu drives.. and to be honest i had experminented with some house/electro beats flowing over it.. i was surprised to see him release an entire album based upon that though.. ha.
i love the way this kid truly expresses whats on his mind or whats on his mind, he keeps it pure hip hop without all the false bravado. keep up the good work blu!
"Casually I dress while addressing her majesty, flirting passively to other palaces surrounding me once, crowned king humbled down to the queen gave my kingdome up, became a mortal man walking earth seeking love, whoa is me"
what up? ima 15 yr. old artist and im just trying to get heard. you probably see alot of comments like this on youtube but i promise its worth checking out my channel! Im a talented emcee and if you appreciate hip hop you'll appreciae the dedication i put into my craft! If you have the time Comment & Subscribe to my channel! I appreciate it :D #SupportRealHipHop
Blu I just started listening to you about 2 weeks ago and I'm hooked....... I was listening to my pandora radio and Dancing in the rain came on and I was feeling every lyric so I have been youtuben you since...... Your Dope I'm so happy to hear music with substance!!!!!!!
@Cameldactyl that is not an album.. i happened to put that tape together and it were all just songs Blu floating around the internet by themselves and had never been on any of his tapes or anything
i still can't get over this song..blu really does something to me. so does exile. jeeez..words cannot express how i feel when i listen to these dudes' work.
Some aren't supposed to get it...they've already submitted long ago to a life of having others think for them. The negativity they convey is simply a byproduct of thier frustration and lack of depth. Stay positive, stay true...eventually just maybe you'll grasp BLU.
@NightmareKingz he's describing the numbness and lack of love in rap and in life...it's a pretty consistent theme that matches the feel of the video....it's not pretentious at all...it's more like a nas or joe budden song ...jumping from idea to idea to match a general mood or theme
@NightmareKingz Nonsensical garbage that tries to sound poetic? Dude, you are an idiot. Pick a line and I'll break down why Blu used it.. there are very few in this that are over my head. Blu is a true poet. Maybe he's just a bit over yours.
Just got out a 2 year relationship w/ someone I thought I could be with the rest of my life. Somehow this song is helping me through the pain and calming me. Thank you.
Woe is me, I still believe / Openly speaking it deviant in this woolen form of poetry / Took leadership brain cells just too close to see / Obedient never winning hope it’s known to be me / Got free now they rope in your dreams / With a gold chain, pimp striped suit and a code name / Sweater under leather trying to tell her it’s a cold game / And I don’t mean it won’t change
Stepping off the axis / Balancing the galaxy / Realizing facts are hidden behind reality / Casually I dress while addressing her majesty / Flirting passably to other palaces surrounding me / Once crowned king humble down to the queen / Gave my kingdom up / Became a mortal man walking Earth seeking love /
Hold up, is this a dream? / Some blacked out after the last bout I hatched out all of my issues and put a mag out / Crashed through the glass house, some took the back route / I had to travel lightspeed to dodge that black cloud / Raining on my parade / Sun shining but it ain’t enough shade / To hide, the game blind I played / Silly games and too many charades / Maskless in this masquerade / Came conquered never saw / Raising hell hoping heaven falls / Took the “L” but I never lost /
Drowning in the shallow end deep / Told we can climb ounces of belief / Where’s peace when you need it? / Visions of the meek in the jungle and humble / As the sheep make you wonder why you speak when you’re spoken to / Feel something holding you back, you want to throw the truth / The lies fly, it’s like time used to wonder what makes the wise wise / Had to visualize in surprises / Nothing that them eyes have ever seen /
Can we transform? Revelations born from the madness / Ashes to ashes, no more classics / Rap has become, so pornographic / When life has become something never imagined / Passions pass, new feelings emerge / Emotions, flying in the sky with the birds / Where’s hope when we need it? / Quotes they compete get us higher than that dope that we chief / Where’s focus when functions retreat to the soul? / It’s a black hole moguls, following them / Role models in bottles of belief keep swallowing /
I busted out laughing at the end.
