gift of gab has a really distinctive and creative flow. good beats, some turntablism, good hooks...
their extended crew is just as distinctive, lateef and lyrics born and some other folks. just real unique, real tight rhymes and sometimes catchy as hell ish (deception!).
plus they have one of the illest songs in the past decade in alphabet aerobics, when gab constructs an entire song with alliteration going through the alphabet. oh, and the tempo increases so by the end the spitting is just nasty.
when i saw them in northampton with del they had a bangin asian singer performing with them too, anyone know who that is?
man, all that shit doesn't even matter, cuz you could hate blackalicious and still buy that album just off the guest appearances, good lord. it should tell you something when all those cats are down to work with a group. that's my recommendation, i hope you're sold.
there are few groups i like that much.
