On this 20/20 we talk about LA rhymer Blu. In short: what's up with Blu?He's developing a serious rep for fluffing his live shows - recently, a fan got on stage at the Cali MC's show to berate him for generally taking the piss onstage. Exile, Blu's production partner, told him to get the hell off the stage, only using stronger words. Bit of a shame, really. Still, in studio, he's a monster. He and Ex have a new record out, and if you're a fan of the duo, you're going to love this.
