Video: Bilal "Levels"
Posted by Shamz on Nov 06, 2009
So word is already out about Bilal's new album slated for an early 2010 release. Today, we have some footage of Bilal performing a new song that may appear on the LP. The song is entitled "Levels." The clip was captured at the recent Plug Research/Vtech CMJ showcase (we'll be milking content from this one for a minute). Enjoy "Levels," and be on the lookout for more new music form Bilal in the coming months. Video shot by B+ and Eric Coleman.

It's a damn shame, some people have been sooooo saturated by B.S. for so long that when they hear good music like this they don't even recognize it because they only know what the industry/matrix tells them is HOT...F#ck ya'll hotbots! If this sh#t was plat and on the radio 24/7 ya'll drones would be McLovin it!!!
Bilal, real recognize real.
Bilal, real recognize real.

Groove !!!: ...
Bilal is truth no doubt and it feels good to have a real singer back, because this other -ish is not singing. Can't say hip-hop was the only thind needed saving ,because R&B / Soul was getting slayed by the posing lames calling themselves singers.

Fucking unmusical?! : ...
So weird people are actually saying this. This is so musical in so many different ways. Listen to most hiphop, how uninspiring and unmusical that sounds.

Why off key? I don't hear him singing off key one time! This should be embraced; Bilal is a pioneer who's walking up front. He's not afraid to experiment... Trying to do something new with different influences and styles... You have to be ready for it.

So where did all this undeserved Bilal hate come from? Have you ever heard him before? Go on youtube and search "Bilal Sometimes" and then take a long look in the mirror and try and say he's not beyond amazing. Pretty much Bilal will make your favorite singer sound like an out of tune 6 year old!!

this shit is not cool, it's disturbing to think that you can just throw some shit together, sing off key, play off key, and call it good. wake up people
this shit is all over the place in an unmusical way.

I like the song but those type of performance are not going to help him reach more people, and, as an artist, when you release a song or an album its for people to listen and like it.
Bilal don't really care about that. He has a great voice but he just want to sing however he feels like. Fan like me would probably understand that it it's his way of expressing his creativity (it kind of fits the purpose of the song) but someone who has never seen him before would probably thinks that he sucks ...

So, Bilal played around with the song near the end, with the fervent, wild-ass, stage showmanship he's come to embrace...
But if you can't hear the brilliance simmering in this, something's wrong with your soul.

It's like putting shit in a bowl and serving it as chocolate pudding, as long as stupid motherfuckers are convince it's pudding they will buy it, regardless of the smell... in this case the sound.
Wake the fuck up people... the artist says it best:
"Paying This Song For Nothing" ..for fucking nothing.
