BLU is what J.COLE wishes he could be

[Mr. Somebody]

Purchase better headphones. I excercise to Blu's music with no issue in a gym playing music i dont like.

 

[vaudevillevillain]

why not post some tracks to prove he's dope.

i must say I heard below the heavens & it was great lyrically. too lazy to find more heat from him though, i like a little commercial appeal in my artists. someone should post some more heat

This nikka leaked an unmastered version of the group's highly anticipated album more than a year before it's official release. Just so he could make some quick bucks. Somethings wrong with dude...

I used to be a huge Blu stan, and I'm not hating him right now. I'm just a disappointed fan. Beneath The Heavens is a classic album to me. IMO it opened the door for the new wave of introspective, chill hip hop of Cole, Drake, KRIT, Kendrick, etc. I liked Johnson & Johnson, that album is very dope. I really liked Her Fav Color, which ushered in his period of dark production with vintage samples. But since then it's been all lo fi soul stuff and mumbled verses that don't do anything for me. All unmastered, all with low drums.

And don't get me started on that UCLA/Madlib farce. Again, he leaked an album before it was finished in order to make a quick buck off his devoted fans. shyt is sad.

Blu and Cole are nothing alike. Blu is much deeper and more sophisticated and poetic mc.

when it comes to lyricism, Blu is up there with gza, Lupe, common and them. Cole is not close. He's good though.

I'd compare Cole to Stalley. A little bit of Wale too.

Jcole has a gold plaque and hit songs. Blu is some random unknown dude outside of the Internet

why do u keep saying this shyt when those albums were already remastered and released?

 

[ManBearPig]

Blu is better but J.Cole is rich so i'm sure Blu wouldn't mind being in Cole's shoes either.

i think Fashawn is better than both tho.

 

[TrapHouse Rock]

You Mean No York, Jesus, UCLA, her favorite colour ....

He never even mixed and mastered them sh.its ..... trying to charge people money for them on bandcamp ...

Our brother Anakin has fallen, may he rest in peace



Accept it and move on ...

except for UCLA and that godleebarnes everything came out mastered



it took some time granted for him to release those versions, i'll give you that tho



EDIT: misinformation is a motherfukker, herfavoritecolour, jesus were rereleased mastered as was the blu and exile followup. noyork was the studio album from the beginning at the multiple times people have said this and it not clicking for people

Eh? He released most of his shyt unmastered for sale, and then later it was remastered/sold officially. It's a pattern for him, going back years. I can't fukk with him anymore.

blu is the artist blu wishes he could be, nothing worse than getting in your own way. dude was hot 4-5 years ago, but it's a new decade

 

[Versa]

Blu is definitely on a higher level than J.Cole in pretty much every possible way outside of popularity. No pun on the "higher".

Speaking of higher though, where is this Blu being a drug addict stuff coming from? I've never heard of this.
