I love how this captures everyone's feelings about Christmas, from when we were little to even now. No matter how old you are, you can't wait for Christmas morning (:
I ran to the TV when I first heard this song...totally love it! I love that Target let you download all the great songs they used in their Christmas ads! They were GOOD! I discovered new music and artists this way that I might not have ever heard otherwise!
The Targets ads. are acually the best commercials right now. (in my opinion) Such, awesome songs like this and Electronic Santa Claus. And the best part- they even let you download the songs for free. I can accually handle this when I always say "Rap is one letter away from Crap" but I love this
I am not a rap person and there is very few raps songs I can sit through but this one I was jazzed about the 1st time I heard it on the Target commercial. It was my mission to find it. Even better than the Beat Street Christmas rap.
Go Target Go! You did that... for this year's holiday commercial music. You got folks running to find the songs on their computers. And you all were "READY ALREADY" Thanks again.
i love discovering music this way, through hearing it, even part of it, then immediatelty having to look it up, and falling in love with it! hell yeah target!
hey I don't care who's singing it. I love it and I just copied the link into VIDEOGET and made it an mp3 song and put it in my ipod. Great song to exercise to as well. Love all the target commercials.
Professor break speed came out with this song then formed the group blackalicious and the older song isn't as catchy but this new version needs to come out on iTunes! Target, you're holding back on us...I'd rather pay the group for this song than download it for free, it's definitely worth it.
@andrewimprota thats nonsense, its clearly lateef the truth speaker with someone else. gift of gab does not feature here. as for professor breakspeed forming blackalicious? what nonsense!
dude i really like this song, I feel stupid for saying it but I like it xD and I showed it to my friend and she was like "OMG I LOVE THIS SONG but I didn't want to tell anyone cus I was embarrassed >.>"
I've never liked hip-hip more...now that there is this song!! Great job Blackalicious for making it So FUNTASTIC & DANCALICIOUS !! Merrrrrry Christmas Everybody...It's Almost Time!! <3
They need to remix this song with some new lyrics. Not that the current lyrics aren't good I can see myself driving a b-ball lane to this song but it might be weird with all the talk about wanting toys lol.
Welcome to real hip hop people. Now stop finding real music through Target and American Dad episodes. This great music is out there if you look past radio and MTV.
I made a song w the same beat over a year ago, check it out and see what you think. Except mine has rap in both Italian and English. It's called "Ciao Bella" by VP
@TheGypsykilla i suppose i'm the first of the two depending on how you define it, if you mean it as a general term for ignorant motherfucker i'd have to disagree as with if you mean it as a cruel insult for a slave im not that either but if by chance you mean "nigger" as a term for a person who explores hip hop and rap culture to the extreme core and then states opinionated comments on how up and comming `rappers' are slaves to apperances then i am a (nigger) by all means
Thank GAWD for the "Shazam" app! I would have never known the name/artist of this song played on the Target holiday commercial. A little corny, I must say, but very "catchy," to say the least!!! Lol
@Fuzunga most likely, Target put out requests for Christmas music and the ones on Target's /chrismas site are the ones their PR dept. liked the most. Then PR built commercials around each song. I hope all the other 8 commercials will be just as awesome!
Blackalicious doesn't sound like Asher Roth, it's another guy but I personally can't tell who it is... If it is Asher then he is uncredited and they did a very good job of hiding who it is... but the song was released this year so it could very well be Asher
I downloaded the free target holiday album with the intention of getting just one song; but I couldn't pass up a song by a group called Blackalicious!
@DownUnderD Don't insult Adriano Celentano let alone the song. This song doesn't hold a candle to Azzuro. Besides, why would they have a sample of a "bad" song? No respect, I tells ye. I curse you and your children and childrens children. Good day, sir!
I'll say whatever I feel like. They take 2-3 seconds of interlude from that song and expand and rework it into what I consider a more melodious piece of music. Since music is subjective to each listener it doesn't matter what you or I think anyways so stop getting worked up over your dumb little song.
@DownUnderD It's funny. I wasn't that serious at all, I thought you would have gotten it with the ridiculous insult I made at the end. Regardless, you're still the one that seems like you're getting worked up over a song. Like you said, my opinion doesn't matter as well as yours. It's ok though, we are all hypocrites at least once in our lives. Happy New Years, compadre.
Clearly none of you are fans, the flows here are being handled by Lateef the Truth Speaker. He and Lyric's Born are essentially the 3rd and 4th members of Blackalicious.
That said, I'd have liked to seem Gab spit a few bombs
this song makes me want to shoot santa in the head, and bury his body. if folks only knew a fat white guy doesnt deliver kids, but little asian kids who get paid pennies, their brains would melt in fear and disappointment
AMAZING! I was just thinking I need a play list of Christmas songs but tired of all the old stuff and TARGET comes out of no where with these damn commercials.
like this if the girl on the first like told u this song and u saw the commercial and you look up is it time yet i cant wait and it said toy jackpot (:
