Blu - BadNews
This is kind of an old track (released like January 08) but a lot of people probably don't have it because they were just finding out about blu not too long ago. I've gotten a few requests to put up some other links, so this post is dedicated to the sleepers.

and here's a Zip file of a bunch of old stuff I've collected:

The Sound of Young America Podcast: Blu of Blu & Exile
Blu jumps on a podcast to talk about some of the stuff that inspired him to become involved in hip-hop and the troubles he went through. The first songs he fell in love with, to which cassette singles he first started buying himself to the first time he heard that 'dope girl song' "used to love her". From DMX to Ma$e, Will Smith, and Timbaland & Magoo. It's all here. Great interview.
I can't recall exactly who and where, but I swear, LATELY I've heard quite a few great rappers talk about DMX's first album inspired them. I know Jay-Z said it on the UK interview and Blu talks about it as well. Crazy to think about Earl then and now. Good news though. We are about halfway through this day (pacific time), and DMX has not been arrested.
Congrats Buddy!

New music from Blu & Taraach
I haven't listened to any of these tracks yet, and blu's myspace blogs are fucking annoying to read because he doesn't use the space bar. So read that, figure out what it is, let me know, and listen to the tracks. I think this is more TaRaach than it is blu, or maybe both. Either way. Here you go:

Kanye and Lil Wayne - Lollipop (Remix)
Lil Wayne & Kanye West - Download Lollipop Remix
I wanna tell a story. "I ain't lyin, yo, TRUE STORY!" (c) That kid from the lean back vid.
The first time I ever got introduced via Myspace to =Top!Flite=, I looked at his music. One song in particular stood out, actually one line more than anything. "I like my tacos with Nacho Cheese, but don't touch my money, girl, that's Not yo Cheese"
I'm pretty upset at the fact that two great MC's have now made fame from this line. (The second one being Blu of Blu & Exile fame) Not saying they found the hella old bad quality songs that Mike recorded from an IMac Microphone like 6 years ago and decided that no one would ever know. I'm just saying, it goes to show he is much ahead of his time. That could be said for Smizzy too.
Dare I mention the We All Love Coke song with both Jay Smart and Mike Check on it. Recently "re-done" by NERD in their new song, Everybody Nose.
We all know Kanye has the history of Stealing songs. Jesus Walks/Rhymefest anyone? But Homie, at LEAST Fest got the Grammy too.
So to whom it may concern: Put 'em on if you're gonna jack from them. They ain't even tryna have a hot tub full of bitches. Well, maybe they wouldn't mind, but it's not a top priority. They do it for the passion. For the love. Shouldn't such a rare thing be rewarded?
Sincerely,
DREW

PS Visit the Links Section to find some RECENT Mike Check and Jay Smart Music. Than I can say I told you so, when you hear songs similar to those in about 2 - 3 years depending on how soon the Ketchup like Mayonaise (c) weezy f baby.
