True story - 1 Love "Hold you head up and stand tall Even when you lose in the end What matters most is you gave your all So you can never in you life look stupid to them The experience you gained should be admired Not just whether you lose or win Cause even gold must go through fire Only to become brand new in the end" Few lines have ever matched that
About halfway through this track, suddently tears started to run from my eyes. I don't know where that came from. Completely took me by surprise. This shit is lethal!
I was looking for an item on Amazon. I read a very long review about the product from a man with a PhD who lives in California. His review was so remarkable I went to his profile and he had reviewed a few other things. I just wanted to keep reading them. I came across a review of the album "King no Crown" and it made me want to listen, so I did. The review was spot on, Blueprint is GREAT! I looked him up and found him on Wikipedia and dang.. he's from my town, Columbus, OH.
You have no idea how much you have helped me through this one song you have composed. There are a lot more things said about this song than spirituality fulfilled, Intact and true. It’s real and it shows true love and dedication! Also your sincere attitude shows the everlasting honesty of love through your facial expression. What you think feel and believe is right there (if one is excited in details). Also this song is so helpful when it comes to gaining energy and power and accepting the inevitable problems of life with a laugh. Words are not enough to explain the feelings you have moved in me and I wish the same to other listeners out there. To make it personal a bit... you have helped me through one of the toughest times of my life with your passion. I write myself so I know there is such thing... BUT! Please if there is no block.. never stop what you are doing because it has a positive affect on the world in general.
PRINTMATIC! Yooooo I discovered this song a week ago and I been listening to it on repeat ever since. Anyone who likes this song should check out the Seattle group Blue Scholars. One love
blueprint and illogic together liveshow seeing their set with a half cleveland crowd when I saw them was like a hip hop duo tag team that made me want to try and be like something like that.. It was fresh and cool to me. The whole rhymesayers thing all made senseand it was just the beginning. Saw them individually but that show at the grog shop it was dope. If I were to guess 2005-6
Rare groove ^_^ Prolly one of my all time favorite tracks by you! Loved it so much when you guys did this live down in Dunedin! Cant wait for yall to come back! Thanks again for telling me where the quote at the end came from, watch the the whole documentary and really enjoyed it
I promised SpaceX I will gove them kudos, and I will own up to it. Even if I disagree, I have to admit talent when it's there. Best wishes and speak soon
You just made your song(which kind of plays out like a story) into a story based mv....hopefully that makes sense. Basically it translates so well to video. The song is great and the mv is just perfect
man i forgot he was on a different label now didn't even know this album came out. Got to see print on the Family Sign Tour in summer 2011. If I buy the vinyl are they still signed?
Blueprint has very quietly and not only this song. Written some of the most inspiring and motivational music the world has ever been given.

This is my biggest motivation song
I met Blueprint over 15 years ago in Rhode Island. His energy was powerful and positive. One of the best guys in hip hop, hands down.
King no Crown indeed! Dopeness in its purest form! I copped that album.
Thank you for continuously making music that touches the soul.
Greetings from Tampere, Finland. We love Blueprint.

Makes me feel nostalgic yet empowered at the same time

If I ever needed help where would I look? Would I remain loyal?
I promised SpaceX I will gove them kudos, and I will own up to it. Even if I disagree, I have to admit talent when it's there. Best wishes and speak soon
How is it possible that weightless only has four thousand subs? Who can't like this?
Amazing individual.
Incredibly inspiring.
Thank you so much.
Ohio. The heart of the country. 🙌🏼
