used to think these cats, Blu, J.Cole and them, were too soft - pandered to ladies etc. copping that whole earnest, nice guy bullshit. but after listening to a few Blu tracks and a few J. Cole joints ("Back to the Topic Freestyle") i realize it might not be entirely true. in fact, J.Cole is kind of an a**hole, ha ha.
err... BLU is more of an a**hole than J.Cole when it comes to women. I'm surprised women like him so much. but really no, I'm not surprised, women love a**holes. Is there a song where Blu says nice things about women? i think he rights about hoes and playing women only when he has a song that mentions a woman.
I get where he is coming from though.
LOL...
Its the vulnerability with which he writes his lyrics at times, especially on 'Below the Heavens' on tracks like 'Remembrance of me'.
The closest you got to him being soft on that album was on 'Blue Collar Workers' and 'No greater love'.
I actually think he TRIES to sound like an a**hole at times.
But he wouldn't have to be 'sweet' for me to appreciate his music or I wouldn't listen to anything but RnB niggas like Brian MckNight (sp).
