What an ugly cover!!
What an ugly face my child has..
Blu is the shit niggas, can’t wait for this one. Definitely the best album to be released this year. The 2 best Hip-Hop artist are out of the west Blu and Kendrick although I do believe Blu is better. He’s not at all mainstream. He’s reviving the underground and Hip-Hop for that matter. NoYork is a masterpiece if you didn’t know check that shit out.
this will be wack….word to your motha! Belwo the Heavens set a standad that he will never match again. .
gtfoh. havent even heard the album u crab. yes he’ll never top below the heavens. 99% of rappers cant top their debut. but damn he has released some ill shit since……….Give Me My Flowers While I Can Still Smell Them….
enough said
cant wait for this album
Below The Heavens is a top-10 album all-time. It’s safe to say that 99.9% of mc’s will never create an album of that caliber.
was gonna reply to this, but J-100 wrote it for me. Top 10 of all time aint no joke, literally every song is amazing on that fuckin album
Nigga go listen to his discography and shut the fuck up. Blu has said himself that he wants every project to be different…If you still don’t fuck with Her Favourite Colour, Jesus, the GodleeBarnes LP, Both Flowers albums, the soul amazing tapes, ParieArtNomme ep,and the various unrealeased and unofficial gems he has dropped then get the fuck outta here
that’s like pointing out that Nas won’t top Illmatic. I mean no fuckin shit he won’t but he’ll still release dope music
EVERY project Blu has dropped after BTH has been WEAK! But thats what happens when you release a certified classic. Like he said, “exile & B-L, is the next Pete Rock & CL” dude needs to stop messing with other producers..he has chemistry with Exile that he should exploit!
honestly i prefer herfavoritecolor or give me my flowers, love anything blu does though
This is the shit I like to see when i go to hiphopdx. this guy is crazy good. might not be the best rapper, but hes in my top 10. if yall never heard of him, check out songs such as “hold on john” ” til we die ” cold hearted” spanish winter” amnesia” …he has so many more songs tht i cant think of off of the top.Buy your ears and buy this album (dont bootleg) for them
Basically both of his Soul Amazing mixtapes, HerFavoriteColour, Jesus, it’s all good
YES! That’s what I’m talking about!
Blu is the illest mc out there.
As much as I love Blu, you can’t just stop making music and expect to stay relevant. Best MC out there? No, not as of now. We’ll see where this album puts him after it’s released.
