I never really listened to Evidence, but Blu? Fukk that dusthead.
Below the Heavens wasn't a classic?
Alchemist, Evidence, and Blu in the studio...

I'd say it was a 4-4.5/5, real good album.Below the Heavens wasn't a classic?
What's he done since besides alienate his fanbase, forget lyrics on stage, half ass all his music, throw people's names on projects that weren't involved.....and some fans continue to support him

Yeah Red Caret is such a great example. After ALC made the beat Ev decided he wanted it to be an opportunity for him, Rae, and Ras to each just express themselves however they wanted, so although there's some skill flexing, there's also some personal stuff. The fact that you can put Ev on a song with two legends like that and not only does he not get outshined, but he actually hangs and does just as well as either of them...that goes to show how much he has grown as a rapper the past 5 or 6 years. I used to always hate his style to be honest, and now he's one of my favorite rappers.

Blu now is very far removed from Below the Heavens. That's a very good album, but to say that he's still at that level is wrong. Hopefully he get's back on his shyt. I'd much rather have seen Fashawn in the cut. Fashawn & Evidence = 
Evidence though? He's dope as fukk. Always has been straight, but he's gotten better and better over the years. Can't wait for the StepBrothers joint.

I feel that's a very fair criticism. All I have to say, because I don't really like anything he's done since Below the Heavens, especially all the half ass mixed material and all that...is that people by large all have fukking problems and issues. And I hope Blu can work his demons out.
Everything you said is valid though.

I would bet Fashawn ends up on the StepBrothers album. I know Blu is far removed from that but from what I heard his verse for this song is good and he came correct.
And "The Far Left" is a project that is going to come out with Ev/Al/Fash but I wouldn't expect it soon however. After StepBros, Dilated, and another Ev solo they might concentrate on that.

I used to fukk with Blu, so I agree it would be refreshing to hear him come correct..though I'm doubting it. We'll see.

For his own sake as a human being I'd hope he could get it together for one 16. :shake:

I've tried so many times to get into Ev (pause) but I just can't. Dude's voice is soooo boring.
Blu is a dusthead but I think he can spit a nice 16 here and there, hope this one'll do it.
His voice has more energy on Layover and Cats & Dogs than Weatherman IMO, so maybe check those out. If not, yea, he tends to be a rapper that people either really like or not. No one person can do it for everyone.

Check out give me my flowers
shyt is vintage blu
He never fell off IMO

C/S I can listen to him on featues w/o a problem. But whole joints though?
I love that joint,"Chase the Clouds Away" though

See the ill thing is is that he's a producer at heart and he knows that. He knows to pick the best production and he also knows how to add the right guest features and then sequence them in the right order so you're never getting too much of one thing. He said he studied The Chronic for that. Not overdoing albums either or having them be too long.
He's very good at knowing what his weaknesses are and downplaying them while playing up his positives. He's very smart about that, and personally, it adds to him as an artist.
