![[Hip Hop] Gift of Gab – Protocol ft. Samantha Kravitz](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3991999_lg.jpg)
Gift of Gab , half of the popular Bay Area rap duo Blackalicious , released Protocol this week, a track from his upcoming album The Next Logical Progression that's due to drop March 27th thru Quannam Projects. The track is refreshing for a simple reason: It's simple. The beat is not overdone, there is no auto tune and the lyrics actually have meaning, opposed to just another blunts and bitches anthem that seems to plague the rap world today. Hearing an emcee with an extensive vocabulary and clear message is a lost art in hip-hop and [...]

"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 [...]

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 [...]

Graphics: Talia "What can I say, even the realest n*ggas quote Pac..." - Young Jeezy Enigmatic openness through sensitive moments and ignorant outbursts. Probably more than any rapper, that sentence describes Tupac Shakur to a tee. Credit such a veil to his Gemini personality, or better yet, through the various experiences his brief, but fast paced life afforded him. Either way, properly describing Pac is a task which is still incomplete even as we creep towards what would have been his 40th birthday. [...]
