BLU APPRECIATION Thread

Blu - Fly (SongOfLiberation) - YouTube - This song is so fukking underrated

And yes Below the Heavens took a huge shyt on the 2000s. Best album of the decade hands down.

Below the Heavens is literally to the ears, but don't sleep on 'Give Me My Flowers While I Can Smell Them'

Out of all the musicians I have heard in my life none have had the effect on me that Blu has. I can't even put this shyt into words. Dude just leaves me

Blu best work wasn't on "Below the heavens"

He put out so much good ish in 2011, No York, Give Me My Flowers While I Can Smell Em, Open, Jesus, and UCLA just dropped a couple months ago.

damn.....how did I miss this and produced by madlib ......

The Flowers album was decent........Its like that first album was was greatly produced, great lyrics, to me it even seemed radio friendly, considering all the "stuff" Drake puts out now, I mean Blu had some of those same sappy love songs, but they weren't corny or overly simpish and whining.

Blu - "Greater Love"

I don't know, try and recreate another album like the first, and if it doesn't work then move on and keep doing what he feels, more and better collabos especially..

I didn't mean any album in particular, just his overall work cuz blu is kinda random with his releases. check this 4 disc compilation to get an idea:

Blu – The Greatest Guest Features Collection (4-Disc) | 2dopeboyz

Blu has hella replay value.. I fukks with his whole catalogue for real but those unmastered joints is barely bearable !

I wish dude went on tours near me I'd Copt them tickets fast

I already have the 1st album, so glad they weren't satisfied making the same record again. Those other albums all have hits and misses, but they are unique and great on their own. I'm always checkin for his stuff because I don't know what I'm gonna get, even if it sucks lol. But it's always interesting and last year he went bath salts. Then there are guys like Meek and Curren$y(who I like their stuff and think are talented) I feel are starting to never venture out of their comfort zone and make similar songs to appease the core fanbase.
