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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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 TH-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.
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
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...
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 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.
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
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
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.
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!!!
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
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.
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
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
Blu Is Tha illest !!!!!! look Im from Los angelas And Being In emcee people Over look real hiphop !!!!!!!And exile itz Beautiful how He help people see California 4 hip hop!!!!!!!!

😂😂😂😭😭
Love this, brother. Appreciate this message.
Good words
@@Maudires. I do the same thing
Blu is one of the greatest story tellers of all time. Such an amazing artist.
Below The Heavens came at the lowest point in my life and that's one album that turned my life around 10yrs ago.
Its amazing how people can call this music "underground", but It shines brighter than anything I've seen above ground.
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
Blu is one.of the most underrated mc of all.time so underrated its criminal
FACTS upon FACTS!!!
I have not heard this song in forever, i missed it. Blu is love
faccts
Still one of the greatest songs of all time
MY FAVORITE BLU SONG *
one of my favorite songs period
What u wanna. Mars. And Untitled(LovedU2)
I cant decide between those 3
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
damn i'm in tears. Hip hop reaches to the soul.
This song got me out of dark times. Thanks, Blu
Most beautiful, honest song in all of hip hop....history. Straight up.
I was 12 when this was uploaded- just now finding this many moons later. The timing is perfect though.😖🥺
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.
good music like this is eternal. It never fades or loses its power.
This is Hip Hop.
2022 I'm still here 🔥🔥🔥 what a classic
Still bumping in 2018 because this shit solid forever.

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✌️

I been a fan for a minute...
Respect Karla wish I would meet you
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.
Exile is an excellent producer, the hook is incredible and Blu definetly made justice to the beat. Masterpiece.
This song is so beautiful and what makes it beautiful is the fact that its so real.
Blu:Lyrically Raw Emotional Therapy...
Exile:Ethereal Soundscape...
My Ears:Audio Bliss.......
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!!

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 😅.
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.
Man I swear Blu tells the best stories over the most heavenly beats.
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.
Sample: Ebb Tide - Ferrante & Teicher
+BizowYo thank you i've been searching for years !
+Midnight Marauder
Weirddough does an interesting harp-sample inspired by this same song.
Spectermonkey sounds interesting,could you tell me the name of the song?
+Midnight Marauder
It's also called Ebb Tide.
BizowYo Thank you sooooo much! That Sample killed me, am crying right now..
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.
i feel bad for the people who cant appreciate this good music...
it blows my mind that this is a song off of a mixtape. there are rappers with complete albums that arent as sick as this one song
started with sick music from the 80`s to slow (but nice) hipster electronic and now back to classic Hip Hop
들을때마다 눈물남
I keep replaying. Inspiring indeed. I wish I could see him spit live.
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!!!
that hook is magical
Blu will forever be on point .
Song of liberation 2019
I remember smoking blunts in my ride while listening to this song
one of my favorite blu tracks..
The sample is also used in Rhyme asylum - iller instinct. Just discovered Blu and im infatuated
Nah. They used the sample from Stress off the chest. But that beat is fire.
One of my fav Blu songs
My favorite song for 7-8 years now 💙
I played this for 2 weeks straight. I'm still not tired of it.
This song is just dope. man i need all their music
