    BLU was Cole and Dot before Cole and Dot.
    ‘BELOW THE HEAVENS’ is a certified classic that you need to hear if you haven’t but love hip hop.
    ‘VANITY’ might be the most honest record I’ve ever heard.
    Blu had e chance to be a mainstream act but didn’t want it

    The thing is, as much as Blu's missed opportunities are, I think that is what made him so prolific and creative. I really dont think Blu would have the discography he has today if he signed to TDE or Aftermath like Kendrick. Blu is complete as an artist precisely because he is incomplete as a businessman

    Kendricks true strength is in the macro level writing. Within a song blu is comparable. Across an album, and even further across his projects, his songwriting is at the peak of hip hop. It's why his albums are goated but he's never seen as an amazing feature artist.

  • @stevescotthiphop
    @stevescotthiphop 7 วันที่ผ่านมา +4

    Below the Heavens is a legendary underground album and Blu is a great rapper, but let's be real: Kendrick is much more innovative.
    Not tryin to shade Blu, it's just that Kendrick is constantly playing with sound and trying to push hip hop in new directions. Blu is an incredible traditional hip hop artist, but even his best work is derivative

    • @ThatDopeShttt
      @ThatDopeShttt  7 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      I wouldn't say Blu is a traditional hip hop artist or Jazz rapper for that matter. People really overlook his experimental albums (York, Jesus, even her favourite colour).

  • @loki350
    @loki350 8 วันที่ผ่านมา +8

    Personally i hold kendrick over Blu, mostly cuz of how he performs.
    They both bare pain and vulnerability, but Kendrick does so with a certain vehemence, vigor, even spite at times that speaks to me more.
    And i think the world at large likely feels the same.
    He has a certain energy about him that's hard to match

    • @ThatDopeShttt
      @ThatDopeShttt  7 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Great point. I forgot to add Kendrick's performance on stage is arguably just as memorable as the music itself. I do feel like the larger hip hop community overlook Blu's music because of what you mentioned- Blu's delivery isn't as buoyant as Kdots. The different vocal tones, layered vocals, and his overall engineering process has more components. Whereas Blu does a lot with a little imo.

    “No Greater Love” was my ringtone for a good two years… Below The Heavens is a true classic. Sucks that HipHop no longer embraces these kind of artists.. you see it with how people hate on Kendrick’s music for not being pop or banging enough… it’s never about his artistry but rather if people can twerk to the beat. Sad state of HipHop

  • @Undone545
    @Undone545 8 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

    Love this essay man. You're doing great.
    One thing with blue i felt that he was always an ill listen but as you say hes laid back and not strategic. There are artists with less lyrical ability or less projects that their songs are far more memorable from those early blu era songs. I think he could have done with a few cross appeal songs then he might have been in the sort of space lupe fiasco is, that being universally respected in the hip hop community but also well known enough that a relatively casual hip hop fan world wide might know who he is.
    That aspect of strategy is so underrated because a rapper like elzhi if we are talking ability and even themes could be with the j coles and kendricks but timing opportunity and execution are very important

    • @ThatDopeShttt
      @ThatDopeShttt  7 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      Thank you!! You hit it on the nail, in that era you needed cross over records i.e Lupe, J Cole, Dot. The cool thing is that this era we are currently in is perfect for an artist like Blu. I wish Fred da Godson was still here. He would be thriving in this era. Most clever rapper ever imo.

    I love Blu and was sad he didn’t blow up more,when him and Exile get together it’s magic. But outside of Below the Heavens and maybe 2 more albums his mixing made it difficult to recommend to non fans, it’s a little too underground and unpolished. And every one of Dot’s albums shows growth and experimentation that other artists never show. If Blu had gotten a little more expansive in his themes I think he could’ve been bigger, like a west coast 3 stacks.

    That's what I be saying about Blu, he was a bit ahead of his tine with some of them projects. But besides some of his bad deals, I think Blu just doesn't have the commercial the Kendrick does. Maybe if there was sonically a more natural progression from Below the Heavens, he might have more mainstream success. Also, of course as you mentioned, the way he chooses to approach his artistry and putting it out plays a big role as well. I appreciate this video because idk who else would have done this. I'm late on a few of Blu's latest albums but I'll listen to los angeles and get back.

    The difference between Cole and Blu to Kendrick is Dr dre that cosign is the biggest in hip hop.Dr Dre makes people pay attention and if you're dope at songwriting like Em 50 and Kendrick you will blow up under Dr dre.People dont understand how perfect the Dr and Kendrick situation is if Cole was singed by Kanye or Dr dre he would also be as big Jay z wont let no one surpass him under him or promote like Eminem with 50 and Lil wayne with Drake Cole never got that kida promotion from Jay z or cosign that and the fact he nevet introduced him to timberland and Pharrell to help him with songs like Dr dre was willing to let Pharrell be Kendricks producer while Jay z didn't even have cole on any songs until it was too late.He could have had cole on Run This Town with Kanye and him Kendrick got the big look and Drake early.

    Blu is a better artist and MC. K Dot is good but on the east coast there are about 50 k dot’s. Only difference is the major label push. Blu has better albums.

      There are no 50 of either but Blu sounds more like the traditional east coast MC

      @@theeggreat4 Really I was down playing it. There is more than 50. Not every MC aspires to be signed to a label and told what kind of music to make. But I agree Blu sounds more traditional East coast.

      @@TwinParksBX you think they told Kendrick what types of music to make and 99 percent of rappers aspire to be signed don’t do that even greselda signed

      Name an artist on the East Coast making songs like Mirror, U, Goosebumps. The reason Kendrick is on top is not due to his lyrical game (which is top tier) but how much personality his music has. He's a true artist who tries out different things. A lot of East Coast dudes are just too traditional. Lyrically sound but no individuality

      I totally agree. Being traditional doesn’t mean great artist !
