blu was my nikka back in 09-10. the shyt is, he never put that grind in. Alot of nikkaz is talented but they don't put the grind in, for example currensy nikka been puttin in that work for years and its paid off. I could see Blu having his own lane like currensy if he stayed consistent and put that grind in.
he started doing different shyt, putting out shyt with shytty quality, and disapeared from the scene. No videos, no interviews, no music, no nothing. so it's like all he was working for he did it for nothing, cuz i never even see mention of him now-a-days. as to back in 09-10 alot of people was fukking wit him.
Im about to go how i was movin back in 09 and put u on to some classics.
NeverBeAnotherMe
Just Another Day
Dancing In The Rain
Stress Off The Chest
Dope 4 Gold Rope
First Things First (first time i heard of Miguel)
Party Of Two
Show Me (The Good Life)
All The Kings Men
Fly (Song Of Liberation)
Pearly Gates
(all the songs i posted got dope beats, and his flow and how he was spitting the shyt complimented eachother which makes for good music.)
its hard to find more dope joints, cuz what people really appreciated about Blu was that he was a dope MC. i don't think he was that dope of a artist looking back. He had great chemistry with Exile, but they never really got it together and pushed that movement. nikkaz did Below The Heavens back in 07 and it didn't really start getting critically acclaimed till like 08/09 when the internet era really started coming together i.e (forums, 2dopeboyz, nahright, onsmash, youtube, datpiff) If you ask me Blu had a great internet presence back in 08/09 but he didn't really capitalize on it like J. Cole, Kendrick, Currensy, Wiz. His beat selection was kinda trash, but when he had a dope beat he made such great songs people had to give it up to him. Im not gonna say he was a pioneer of the new west coast shyt, but he was definitely one of the dudes people were looking from the west coast before they gave it to kendrick. Blu simply didn't put that work in or played the game. I was here, nikkaz was waiting on his new projects and nothing ever came out, and if it did come out it was one big ass mp3 file with shytty quality like he bootlegged a cassette.
shout out to Blu that was my nikka back in the day. I wish him the best, i wonder what he up to now.
I just caught that.
