Mass Hysteria by Z-Trip Z-Trip unleashes "Mass Hysteria" featuring Lateef the Truthspeaker (Latyrx/Blackalicious) & Chali 2na (Jurassic 5), originally released a few years ago on Ahead of the Curve (Japan release).
"It's like I'm Bo Diddley, rock n' roll history." I discovered Gift of Gab and Blackalicious during a high school trip to London. The in-flight reading had a music section, and they featured Blackalicious. The name and the vibe I got from the article peaked my interest, and when I got home I sought out the group. Napster had just hit the scene, and "Alphabet Aerobics" quickly hit my music library. Their LP Blazing Arrow , is a highlight of my college years, and I've stay up on Gift of Gab since. I'll have some new music [...]
Yeah, that's Nancy Reagan. No, this is not Photoshopped. Editor's Note: More recycling of past blog posts, gotta conserve this Christmas! How many shopping days left until Christmas? Not enough, that's for sure. The holiday season isn't about shopping anyway, it's about hanging around with people you like and, in the case of most of our families, a few people you don't like. It's about giving but it isn't about begging. And it's not about the TV commentators who are so afraid white Jesus isn't represented enough in Christmas celebrations. [...]
Here is a little playlist of what I am listening to right now. I know it is all over the map but try and give them all a chance. Again, sorry for the slacking but at least I haven't given up completely. 1. Sonny & The Sunsets - Teenge Thugs 2. Yellow Ostrich - Til' I Disappear 3. Cotton Jones - Gone The Bells (Daytrotter Session) [...]
This one came through our submissions and it's some dope music I gotta share with you all. Deru recently release his "Mini-Mini-Me" 73, and on it he collaborates with rappers for the first time. Featuring two Bay Area giants whose work has inspired the downtempo instrumentalist: Casual (Hieroglyphics) and Gift of Gab (Blackalicious). Casual turns "Spliff" into a celebration of his preferred method of getting high while on "Bad Bad Man" Gift of Gab drops his characteristic deep-voiced tongue-twisters over a vicious beat. Deru needs to get these guys to work with him some more because these are some killer [...]
As someone with the relatively hipster tendency to only listen to albums as complete wholes, I must say that many hip hop releases stretch the limits of my patience. I don't know what it is about the genre that makes the artists believe that their fans want nothing more than to hear an album full of painfully unfunny skits, garbage attempts at crossover singles, redundant posse tracks, and a slew of '"bonus" songs that weren't good enough to be integrated into the sequence of the actual album so they become tacked on haphazardly at the end. There are too many [...]

Another heavy gust of wind viciously tore at my clothing, and there was a strong possibility that the ominous darkness on the horizon was a suffocating sandstorm that would shortly overtake my position. Indecision, the arch nemesis of all brave adventurers, had suddenly fallen on me like a ton of bricks. I was standing a few steps away from my vehicle staring at a massive door which had been built directly into the side of a mountain. I knew that what I sought would be behind the door. All I had to do now was muster [...]
In the music that got me blogging about music series, we've gone from the Midwest all the way to Japan and all along the West Coast. Now, we focus on one of the most influential hip-hop areas around, The Bay Area. As small as The Bay Area is compared to any other area I've covered, it's definitely rich with the best hip-hop around. I could've made a top 25 bay area groups, but that would've been a little much. This top 5 (or so), however, is some of my favorite hip-hop groups of all time. [...]
Yeah yeah yeah, I heard a cool track today from Chiddy Bang that got me thinking about some of my favourite hip hop tracks from back in the day. This post could easily have hundreds of songs on it but this should be a good starting point. We'll continue this conversation at a later date... Free mp3: Chiddy Bang - Heatwave (feat. Mac Miller) Free mp3: Blackalicious - A to G Free mp3: Jurassic [...]
Toronto - It's February. A month that is known for many things - Valentines, Groundhog day, Super Bowl, read-in week, etc. For a lot of people, one thing towers above all of this - Black History Month . We here at the Panic Manual, much like all our fellow (North) Americans celebrate this monumental event. The brain trust at this site has thought long and hard, and in turn, come up with a playlist of ten songs that we feel fully highlights the word black. Before we get to that, we would just like to share some things about [...]

![[MIX] A Burning Ear Christmas 2010 – Three Servings of Cheer](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3056649_lg.jpg)
It's only a week until Christmas!! This years mix almost didn't happen because I thought I wouldn't have time to dig up good tracks but then they just started popping up and a lot of them were very cool. I grabbed the best and threw them together here for a holiday mix in three parts. First get funky with the dance party starters then slip into some original X-mas tunes by artists old and new and close it off with some reworked classics. I hope you all enjoy these jams and have yourselves a kick ass holiday season! [...]
Here is a little Christmas mixtape for all you good little girls and boys. Included in the ten tracks are a couple of decidedly non-traditional spins on old standards, two original favorites, and a few newer ones that come from this free compilation, and this free compilation. Click on the smoking Santa to download all ten songs at once. Happy holidays! Sisterhood - "Christmas Treat, Peppermint" Obliminal - "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" Blazer Force - "Electronic Santa" [...]

Filed under: What's That Song? 'Toy Jackpot,' Blackalicious Blackalicious ' 'Toy Jackpot' gets to the heart of Christmas morning for a 7-year-old by title alone. In the 2010 Target Christmas ad, the Sacramento, Calif., rap duo's song fuels the excitement for kids rushing to the tree and tearing into presents. Blackalicious' Roots -meets- Dilated Peoples sound gives the track a distinctive hip-hop flavor, while still carrying the aggressive lyrics of MC_thumbnail.Gift of Gab, which tell the story [...]
