Crazy that people heard this shit 13 years ago when I was 8. I found below the heavens last year after finding out about miles. Quarantine was getting dark, Miles and BtH literally contributed so much to turning my life on the right path instead of just being another bot im on the way to make my own heaven s/o Blu and Exile fr.
For everyone who's interested, the Sample is from Ferrante & Teicher and is called Ebb Tide. Exile is not only a genius for finding it and making it the backbone of the track, but Blu put the PERFECT lyrics on such a mellow, sombre, but still powerful and hopeful sample/track.
One of my favorite songs ever, across any genre. The vibes this song gives me is nothing less than the pure rejuvenation of my soul when I'm feeling depressed.
Pops calls it growing pains. Ask his friends about it but they don't know the pain. They just tell him roll a blunt try and smoke some hay. The things Blu says it's like he knows your life. That last verse is me to a T.
if you think life's difficult, lonely and tiring... bump this fucking track and listen. Truly listen, sit back and forget about everything. Take 4 minutes of your life and come to an epiphany, realize that life is what YOU make it. Realize it's easier to give advice than to follow ones own. Find what makes you passionate, what drives your heart beat... live life. FLY!
You know how emcees like to call themselves "artists?" Well, Blu really, truly is one. His lyrics are pure poetry and art. This is one of my all time favorite tracks now.
I thought the first song they did together was Party of Two? Or maybe that was the first song they did for Below The Heavens - but I thought that was I Am…
@@shawnkohl1619 just what Exile said in an interview I forgot were I heard it anyway this song is amazing and yes I agree it should of been on Below The Heavens maybe my fave song from them
I only heard this song about 5 or six years ago listening to Blu UA-cam mix and was blown away it came out in 2008. This is one of those IYKYK type songs. No matter how many times I hear it, it gives me goosebumps.
Thanks to my friend for introducing this crew to me. The entire album is magnificient. The essence of 93/94 era. Peace guys for blessing our eardrums with lovely music. Peace Y'all!!
I don't understand how you can get so many views and barely any likes...They definitely see you...They hearing you....Just too real for today's pop society .... I been a fan for a minute...
I love it when people like Blu keep at it, keep doing what they love. Shows that hes not in the music bizz to make money. He spits so free, so smooth, so TRUE. Deep in every line. Gives me hope for the future of hip hop.
Dude how bout it, this song has so many relations to my life and friends of mine I lost due to drugs and it makes my hair stand up and goosebumps all over even tears come sometimes. Blu is a masterminded lyrical genius who is a real human being
damn i dunno why i haven t listen to this guy earlier, he got some hot tracks, real hip hop, ima keep listening, i dont be searching for music to much, glad i was put on. keep it up Blu
dam this song makes me feel like doing things beyond my imagination this is what hip hops all about making ur life seem easier and feeling fortunate for what u got
I float whenever i hear this song. It's amazing. Normally i can say something profound or soulful when i comment on a good song, but this song is great, and I am speechless now.
theres this new tool on youtube, you get to decide your reaction on the video, and im glad to say i am going to be the first to react to this as a classic.
hip hop isnt dead it hides in your mind as long as you know what kind of music you like you can find it as long as you kook hard enough in the right places
blu. is hip hop/raps (TRUE) best kept secret, mainstream media exposure is too unpure to properly get the marvel of blu across the mind of the everyday listener. The Hundreds!!!
damn this is beautiful im actually in high school and probably one of the the only 3 kids out of a thousand to listen to underground i persoally consier myself very lucky to have found artist like blu flying lotus and nujabes instead of lil wayne and them...and at a very young age (13) im now 15 though lol! underground hip hop is amazing
I don't understand why you guys are arguing. This song is what it's all about. It doesn't matter who's better and who isn't. Just listen to the music. My favorite song right here
2023 who's here with me ...Lovers of beautiful pure hip hop music 🎶🎵
Seriously, where is the rap like this these days. Would do anything for more music like this!
Timeless!
2024
this is quite possibly one of the best songs i have ever heard in my whole entire life.
Crazy that people heard this shit 13 years ago when I was 8. I found below the heavens last year after finding out about miles.

Blu is one of the greatest story tellers of all time. Such an amazing artist.
Most beautiful, honest song in all of hip hop....history. Straight up.
Below The Heavens came at the lowest point in my life and that's one album that turned my life around 10yrs ago.
I have not heard this song in forever, i missed it. Blu is love
faccts
Blu is one.of the most underrated mc of all.time so underrated its criminal
FACTS upon FACTS!!!
Its amazing how people can call this music "underground", but It shines brighter than anything I've seen above ground.
One of my favorite songs ever, across any genre. The vibes this song gives me is nothing less than the pure rejuvenation of my soul when I'm feeling depressed.
MY FAVORITE BLU SONG *
one of my favorite songs period
What u wanna. Mars. And Untitled(LovedU2)
I cant decide between those 3
Still one of the greatest songs of all time
damn i'm in tears. Hip hop reaches to the soul.
this song is food for the soul. i wish i could meet blu in person so i could tell him to keep up the classic work. and Exile to for making this beat
Pops calls it growing pains. Ask his friends about it but they don't know the pain. They just tell him roll a blunt try and smoke some hay. The things Blu says it's like he knows your life. That last verse is me to a T.
Absolutely!! spitting gems on this one

You know how emcees like to call themselves "artists?" Well, Blu really, truly is one. His lyrics are pure poetry and art. This is one of my all time favorite tracks now.
First song they did together, Exile was always mad this wasn't on Below The Heaven
I thought the first song they did together was Party of Two? Or maybe that was the first song they did for Below The Heavens - but I thought that was I Am…
@@shawnkohl1619 just what Exile said in an interview I forgot were I heard it anyway this song is amazing and yes I agree it should of been on Below The Heavens maybe my fave song from them
@@gregc7699 fair enough. I’m just glad people are still bumping such niche stuff almost 20 years later! Peace✌️
@@shawnkohl1619 oh yes no doubt they'll always be them underground fans even if it may not be mainstream
This calms me down when I'm pissed off. Blu, you are now my favorite rapper.
My life is completed, I saw blu 2 days ago ❤ even though he was drunk haha!

Respect Karla wish I would meet you
17 years got damn!!!! I remember bumping this on my iPod on the daily and still bump this on occasion to this day. Guess time do fly 😅.
Sorry about the start of verse 2 that's formatted like a paragraph block. I couldn't figure out how to get the formatting right.
Man I swear Blu tells the best stories over the most heavenly beats.
One of my favorites crazy when you get older and relate even more to this masterpiece 💯
I love it when people like Blu keep at it, keep doing what they love. Shows that hes not in the music bizz to make money. He spits so free, so smooth, so TRUE. Deep in every line. Gives me hope for the future of hip hop.
Gave me goosebumps woah
Dude how bout it, this song has so many relations to my life and friends of mine I lost due to drugs and it makes my hair stand up and goosebumps all over even tears come sometimes. Blu is a masterminded lyrical genius who is a real human being
For those who thinks hiphop is dead have lost hope long ago.
You have to believe in it, even search for it.
Dig deep and you'll find it.
Blu Is The Nicest..He Reminds Me OF Common a little..but respect him as an artist...he's givin CPR to Hip-Hop..SUPPORT HIM!!..
I feel this song so much. It really hits home. I love Blu.
damn i dunno why i haven t listen to this guy earlier, he got some hot tracks, real hip hop, ima keep listening, i dont be searching for music to much, glad i was put on. keep it up Blu
Blu will forever be on point .

Dope lines dropped, soul ablazed, emotions flows.

Blu you`re just a lyrical genius & I`m in love with your music.

Thank you Blu and Exile for making real music.
