Open your ears. This album is amazing, but so are about 4000 others since the '80s. Sure, you probably love his subject matter like I do, but when you listen to rap you put the subject matter to the side. Its all about lyricism, and I can easily list 20 better than blu. Furthermore Exile is kind of garbage, hence why blu hated the dude.
I swear this be the type of song to re-generate me an bring me back to life by putting me back on track with things and not losing my mind through all this technology
sooo i heard this song cus someone posted it thru facebook in 2010 & i was going through those shitty alcoholic days being 16 & 17 years old hanging around bad friends not knowing what i was looking for in life or what direction i was going. but hearing this song always kept me sane inside and always kept my heart light . Damn this is one of the songs that saved me 💙 its crazyy how now its 6 years later im 22 & i still feel the same way about this song
Great story hun! I love when great music such as this kinda helps getting your life on track. Hang in there girl! Great music will take you far in life! 😃
It's great having music that bring you back to those times. Highschool me and my buddies were into cocaine, acid, and booze. Me and them would bump this going out tagging. So many bad decisions. It was the best time I've ever had. They're all gone now and I never see them anymore..
even after listening to this song for 3 years blu still touches my soul. theres just something about his raps and beats that sends shivers down my spine
It's 2010 I'm in the prime of my teens, stoned af walking home from school bumping this album like it's the last time I"m gonna listen to it every single day for at least a month lol what a time! But believe it or not we found better times in this present called the present.
Production is really good. Blu like some future ATCQ type. Exile shows alot of love on productions....well thought out....great sampling, composition....I hear all the wrk...a hard knock and chill....
5 am and im blazing on this joint rolled it up from some shake that i saved for old time sake wake and bake like high skool days somethings never cease to amaze.
Beautiful Hip Hop right here.. I just saw the video to Pretty Boy Swag by Souljah Boy and nearly died of laughter. The art remains strong underground, where passion is the motivation, not just paper. Love from South Africa
If he ever did go mainstream... he would probably change his style to get more radio play. & I love the way he is now. I hate when people change for money or publicity. He has many fans now.. there's no need to change.
Heard this joint on a certain radio station years ago. I taped it but was very upset when I winded up losing the tape. & I didn't know who the artist was & what the song title was either. Someone posted this on a FB Hip-Hop 90's page. If it weren't for that I never would of gotten back in touch w/this classic song. The lyrics & beat go 2gether like peanut butter & jelly. Can listen to this over & over again.
i agree w/ u justbunk shit like this should be the reason why they should drop out of the music industry already, Blu is one of the realest rappers man, luv all his music!
@realoriginalhiphop If Blu's music is the definition of kiddy music. I'm a 3 year old toddler with ADD rocking this shit day 'n night. MORE SWEETS MOM!!!
daaamn, this is some good ish..only found out bout blu and exile recently, dont know how they got under the radar but im thankful i found this quality material..
This is the greatest underground hip hop song of alltime if you ask me. This man is a true inspiration. Ima keep rappin for the underground as a tribute to this man. HEYO IVE NEVER BEEN TO COLLEGE, LIFE AS A YOUNG TEEN SMOKING GREEN NEVER REALLY BEEN APART OF A SCENE- BUT ITS COOL, DOPE TRACKS IM CHYEAH IM KILLIN WIT SPEED, I PROCEDE IN WHAT I DO BEST AND NEVER RECEDE-
Big Pun, Big L, and Big Daddy Kane are my favorite artist's of all time and Common's album Finding Forever is one of the best albums ever created. PLEASE tell me someone that Phonte is biting...LOL he gets nothing but respect from knowledgeable old school, underground, and mainstream artist's
this song makes me feel like i can do anything if i put my heart to it ...its lifts my soul
I like chicken nuggets!
@@wogdiddy4468 Me too.
I swear, walking around on a cold night with your hood up with this in your ears puts you in some type of mood.
This track is def a refreshing track like a cold night!
I hear that..especially when your about to catch some spots...=]
Masta P knew I wasn’t the only one who thought this shit!
You just brought tears to my eyes
Start freestyling In route..
"The new pete and c.l. was exile and b-l"
line hits harder than most people know, glad to know people got as much love for CL Smooth as I do.
It is still hitting the correct buttons of my soul.
They claim Hip Hop is dead, but with artists like Blu & Exile, Hip Hop still lives.
Congrats if you're still here bumping this.
2021 still banging bruz
@@dom0 no bullshit I dead came back to this album two weeks ago in preparation for that new alchemist lmao big ups homie
@@LongLiveB that's Wassup my bro!
Best song on the album, IMO.
Definitely Top 10 Hip-Hop albums of all time.. I'm experiencing so much nostalgia right now

It was the best time I've ever had. They're all gone now and I never see them anymore..
Man,this song is just🔥
Haven’t listened to this song in over 2 years. Crazy
I was really into Dela and heard blu on one of tracks and haven't listened to this since it was uploaded.. just popped into my head
even after listening to this song for 3 years blu still touches my soul. theres just something about his raps and beats that sends shivers down my spine
Just found Blu & Exile, new chapter in my love for hiphop!!!!
This joint needs more attention 🔥🔥
This song : Euphoric.
Never heard of Blu and Exile before this song.
Such a mellow and hella enlightening beat.
Awesome song.
you know this is real hip hop when you got the scratches in the beat and incredible lyrics. :') where has this gone man........
Awesome!!!
Last year was full of great hip hop. Cheat Codes, KD 3, Drill Music in Zion, Blu and Exile with Miles im 2020 was just as great as this album.
Instant classic album
Star in the making.
this song is almost always stuck in my head.
2019 still 🔥
This what you can call timeless 100%
Blu is the illest rapper to vibe too man, especially when exile flex on the beat ;D
best beat on the album..has that oldschool feel
This album is one the best to come in this era..
Are they still rapping?
now this is the level of hip hop i wish to reach one day.
The song that you just want to play on a cold rainy day, to make everything all better
I rinsed this song out back in the day, It was on repeat for quite awhile
This and all your music lets me drift from my problems for the moment.
Good Music Lives FOREVER!!!
Still a vibe in 2020!
I've been a Exile fan since the 90's and he never lets me down ,always comes original. What up Alec
One of my favorite songs, brings back a lot of memories. RIP Cam
Thank you Blu for the blueprint to hip hop.
ITS SOUL AMAZIN!
Lol
Great track... I listen it every week at least twice to get a kind of vibe. #The36POET

Forever Blu
This song is still bangin
Can confirm
I'm so proud of Blu! DOPE!
Beautiful Hip Hop right here.. I just saw the video to Pretty Boy Swag by Souljah Boy and nearly died of laughter. The art remains strong underground, where passion is the motivation, not just paper.
Love from South Africa
If he ever did go mainstream... he would probably change his style to get more radio play. & I love the way he is now. I hate when people change for money or publicity. He has many fans now.. there's no need to change.
Pandora introduced me to this .. and im glad to sya this diuyde is amazing ! and NEEDS to be heard!!!!

I still be playing this
I was listening to this watching the snow fall, it was perfect.
"you best believe they with me in the city like sex"
i love this soul
Like someone else said earlier, this is a modern day classic. The beat, scratching and of course, Blu's heartfelt rhymes. Amazing track.
EXILE ON THE TABLES.......... This is Legendary scratching...its got Common,who else is in there? Pete Rock
i bet that 1 person who disliked was too damn high to realize what button he hit
...beautiful piece of art. i almost cried.
this joint still rocks...... sounds just as good today, as it did , back then...
beautiful joint
that's hiphop! old school...

Ok, what they did with the "zin" sample at the end was beautiful.
This is the greatest underground hip hop song of alltime if you ask me. This man is a true inspiration. Ima keep rappin for the underground as a tribute to this man.
