off some hip hop blog:
Below The Heavens starts out with a song titled "My World Is...." which is basically a self description of himself and how he sees his life....in asingle song.....its a great opener to the CD and sets the mood very well from the very first listen you are hooked and you realize this isn't just anotherrapper this is a true artist who is painting a picture of his life for you....
The next song is titled "The Narrow Path" which is about how hard its been to get to where he is today...all the struggles he has went through (alsowhat every young kid in the ghetto goes through) to get to be who he is today. The influences around him and how hes tried to avoid the bad ones and focused onmusic to take him to a better place.
"Soul Amazing (Steel Blazin')" is the next song and it is a pretty deep song also.....but with a kind of spiritual sense to it....
"Juice N' Dranks" features Taraach....and has kinda of a different style then the rest of the CD...its basically telling all haters and doubtersto !$++ themselves....or as in the chorus "Yall Made Cuz You Aint Us!" Its not a dis but more of a proclamation of how he could care less what youthink.
"In Remembrance Of Me" is kind of a weird idea for a song for such a young rapper....it is exactly what the title infers...it is a song inremembrance of his life....all his struggles, mistakes, and everything he has done. Its actually a great song....because by the time this song is done youreally get a sense of who Blu is and what he stands for!
"Blu Collar Worker" is a song for the ladies.....kind of! Haha basically its about how hard it is to have a relationship while hes trying to make aname for himself. How he takes his career serious and that he wont stop working till he succedes!
"Dancing In The Rain" is actually my favorite song of the whole album! Hes talking about how sometimes people just need to take abreak...relax.....enjoy life. How the stress of being a rapper gets to him. How it can affect his career...but how he deals with it. Its about what he israpping for....the real inspirations behind his music!
"First Things First" features Miguel Jontel. Now it really is a song for the ladies....about how he approaches women, and how he isn't trying tospit game, or front, he just trying to be honest. How he is just being real but how he isn't sure what hes supposed to do...how he would appreciate it ifwomen weren't so confusing.
"No Greater Love" is a love song. About how strong love is, and how nothing can "break us up" now I'm not actually sure if he israpping about a particular girl...like maybe his baby's momma....I also think it might also have a deeper meaning...like his love for hip-hop (that couldjust be me though.) Either way it is a good song.....its got a smooth sound...and is exactly what you think it is...a love song.
"Show Me The Good Life" It features Aloe Blacc & Joseph. "This is a story of wealth, cash, whips, chips, **!@*+# and blunts..."(thatsthe opening to the song.) Its about how his life is and how hes trying to make his life better and make his child's life better then his. How he is tryingto live
"The Good Life". But its also about what the REAL "Good Life" is. Not all the material *%#$ that other rappers like Lil' Wayne and 50Cent show...but the real things in life like Knowledge, Family, & Love.
"Simply Amazin'" is about how its amazing that he is where he is today....how hard he has worked...what he has done and what he still has to do.How he got into the game, how he got to being the rapper who he is today. How he is trying to make a difference with his music.
"Cold Hearted" features Miguel Jontel again. Its about all the struggles and problems and pain he has faced in his life, all the mistakes he hasmade, and how cold life is. How he has dealt with everything hes seen and felt....its a very emotional song and makes you feel his pain. Its about how nomatter what you gotta keep your head up and keep on fighting! "How you must "Smile! Rain or Shine, Night or Day!" The next song is titled
"The World Is (Below The Heavens)" its about how hes trying to live a good life and make it to Heaven. Whats wrong with the world today, and what hethinks he needs to do to make sure he gets to Heaven. Also what people are doing that will put them in "Hell". It about the struggle to find yourselfand do what you think is right. The final song of the album is titled
"You Are Now In The Clouds (With The Koochie Monstas)" its a good end to the album and it defiantly lightens the mood a bit.....basically it just hasa good vibe. The song meant to just lift your spirits and bring the album to a good close.....Now there are some bonus tracks, 2 are only beats but one of themtitled
"I Am" is him just describing who he is......its the longest song of the whole album and has a bit of a goofey feel, with a serious twist. Now eventhough its a description about his life its different then "My World Is..." or the other songs because its more about who he is as a person....morethen what he has went through.
