I dont think anybody's saying that he should continue doing shows or that no one should be disappointed if his show aint on point. I think that in people's disappointment and lack of answers they make up whatever cause they can based on whats provided. I think that the people who do have a little more info feel a certain compulsion to say something that adds a little sensitivity to the discussion. But its difficult to do so without the post turning into some old tabloid shit.

Translation:

If you are (or were) a fan of Blu you can be pissed that he has put out a bunch of subpar music or pissed that you paid to see a subpar show, but don't blame those things on him just being lazy, not giving fuck, or having a drug problem.

I thought it was ok to be open about someone not rocking the mic right in hip hop?

And to those that eluded to a personal problem, you already made it into a tabloid discussion rather than not saying anything and now you opened a different can of worms.

Bingo Bango.

He sounds depressed. Maybe he should join Blu Man Group?

nobody said it wasnt ok to call anybody out for whatever.

and tabloid or not its not always easy to know what to speak openly about or what distances to maintain with subjects that we have personal experience with and personal feelings about. I had decided to stay quiet about it and I see now I prolly should have stuck to that. But as somebody who was just on the road with the person in question I have a different sort of understanding of his situation and I have to square that with having enough respect for some of the people that post here that I dont want them to say some shit they might regret later.

I can clearly see that I was wrong to broach the subject tho. Dude is a grown man and its foolish to try to engineer any empathy he hasnt garnered on his own. Nothing is going to stop him from having to deal with the consequences of the decisions he makes. Hell, maybe that might help him in the long run. Lesson learned. Party on.

zombie · Post by **zombie** » Mon Feb 06, 2012 1:22 pm

the thing that annoys me the most in this topic is when mac posted and peopel started to quote him.

mac shouldnt have even made a post to begin with, should have just deleted it.

because by him trying to act sincere, he still brought about in this topic the exact thing he didnt want to happen. rumor/gossip.

trying to act all high and mighty by editing post and acting high and mighty or whatever.

topic should get lcocked.

exactly. if you're self-employed, and you don't fulfill a contract, you don't get re-hired or get good references. i hope the dude the best, but this is what happens in real life.

Apparently the Blu & Madlib album dropped yesterday or the day before in typical Blu fashion: No warning or promo, and available to purchase for $15 on bandcamp. Now I'm seeing all the links are dead or the album has been pulled.

Did anyone hear this before it got pulled, or know why it got pulled?

Piff Tannen · Post by **Piff Tannen** » Mon Feb 20, 2012 2:32 pm

it prolly got pulled cuz it was dropped in

typical blu fashion, no warning, no promo,

and unmixed i heard.

madlib might put out 450 albums a year but at least he will try to give a nigga a heads up

sucks, cus id check for that shit, i am a blu fan, but i dont even pay 15 bucks for shit with deluxe packages on itunes

in fact, i bristle at apps costing more than 99 cents

i am also a bum tho

Hair of the Dog · Post by **Hair of the Dog** » Mon Feb 20, 2012 2:43 pm

word, that sounds about right. Madlib probably got wind of this and had it pulled....hopefully that means this gets proper mastering treatment and an eventual release

i heard it. it's trash. For the most part i'm a blu and lib fan. Blu and Exile's last one caught me off guard with how much I liked it...but like everyone else said in here....he's doing that pretentious shitty quality sound that, he thinks sounds artsy again. And the beats for the most part sounded like throwaways.

Piff Tannen · Post by **Piff Tannen** » Mon Feb 20, 2012 4:57 pm

maybe hes just losing his hearing

or mixing on headphones

or

yeah i dunno i got nothin

at this point he might as well start doing side prjects with blunt fang if he likes that 'terrible audio quality' steez

sounds way too much like their rough ideas with the inconsistent recording value. would like to hear a proper mixdown of this whole project but thats wishful thinking. well, at least NoYork sounded like it was mixed kind of nicely in comparison to some of his other work.

Surprisingly good. I guess you can't enjoy this if you have a degree in music or music engineering.
