Blackalicious -- "A2G"



As I've said before I'm completely addicted to everything that Quannum Productions has to offer. Blackalicious which is a mix of rappers Gift of Gab and Chief Xcel. This album is their first EP which came before their first album Nia. So as such being an EP it only has 7 tracks. I don't like it as much as their other stuff but that doesn't mean I don't like this one as I really do. The knockout of this album however is called "Alphabet Aerobics" where Blackalicious raps about each letter of the alphabet. They do this song in 2 and a half minutes and hear are the words of that song as well just to give you a little understanding about what's going on.

(Now it's time for our wrap up
Let's give it everything we've got
Ready? Begin)

Artificial amateurs, aren't at all amazing
Analytically, I assault, animate things
Broken barriers bounded by the bomb beat
Buildings are broken, basically I'm bombarding
Casually create catastrophes, casualties
Cancelling cats got their canopies collapsing
Detonate a dime of dank daily doin dough
Demonstrations, Don Dada on the down low
Eatin other editors with each and every energetic
Epileptic episode, elevated etiquette
Furious fat fabulous fantastic
Flurries of funk felt feeding the fanatics
Gift got great global goods gone glorious
Gettin godly in his game with the goriest
Hit em high, hella height, historical
Hey holocaust hints hear 'em holler at your homeboy
Imitators idolize, I intimidate
In a instant, I'll rise in a irate state
Juiced on my jams like jheri curls jockin joints
Justly, it's just me, writin my journals
Kindly I'm kindling all kinds of ink on
Karate kick type brits in my kingdom
Let me live a long life, lyrically lessons is
Learned lame louses just lose to my livery
My mind makes marvelous moves, masses
Marvel and move, many mock what I've mastered
Niggas nap knowin I'm nice naturally
Knack, never lack, make noise nationally
Operation, opposition, off, not optional
Out of sight, out of mind, wide beaming opticals
Perfected poem, powerful punchlines
Pummelling petty powder puffs in my prime
Quite quaint quotes keep quiet it's Quannum
Quarrelers ain't got a quarter of what we got uh
Really raw raps, risin up rapidly
Riding the rushing radioactivity
Super scientifical sound search sought
Silencing super fire saps that are soft
Tales ten times talented, too tough
Take that, challengers, get a tune up
Universal, unique untouched
Unadulterated, the raw uncut
Verb vice lord victorious valid
Violate vibes that are vain make em vanished
? well would a wise wordsmith just
Weaving up words weeded up, I'm a workshift
Xerox, my X-ray-diation holes extra large
X-height letters, and xylophone tones
Yellow back, yak mouth, young ones yaws
Yesterday's lawn yards sell our (yawn?)
Zig zag zombies, zoomin to the zenith
Zero in zen thoughts, overzealous rhyme ZEA-LOTS!....

(good....can you say it faster?)

It's really good. You oughta listen to it sometime. Now as rap goes this is some seriously awesome stuff, but if you've given it a chance and still don't like it I can totally understand, but don't just say you don't like rap so you won't like this stuff, as it is different then everything you're used to. I like most of the stuff on here but some of it just doesn't hit the spot like I thought it would, as such it's going to get 3.5 out of 4 stars. It's understandable as it's their first stuff, but believe me when I say it's probably the lowest rating Blackalicious will be getting. :)
