Blackalicious-A to G

[CuSlackline]

@SuperMe4Lyfe

*Grammar sucks badly

Adverbs, they make you sound like a human and not an unevolved ape.

[ToxicPancake831]

Did DrDarkie3000 seriously just try to prove his intelligence by referring to a concept that anyone who has taken a minimum highschool physics class should know already? pitiful.

[jmj540]

Before Papoose's wack ass copied it.

[LT2AD]

@jmj540 blackalicious never invented 'alliteration' . . .

[SuperMe4lyfe]

I first heard this song on aol radio and had to find it on youtube. The more I listen to underground hip hop and get a way from the mainstream crap, the more I enjoy rap music.

[DrDarkie3000]

@SuperMe4lyfe Nigga yo parents prolly adopted you. Yo real momma is a ardvark and yo daddy was a nigga. They met at a bingo tournament nigga.

[SuperMe4lyfe]

@DrDarkie3000 And you probably have a dead or missing father, mother on crack, and sell drugs since you're poor and on welfare. I know my parents and they both live together happily as a middle class american family with me. Plus you need to get that GED because your grammar sucks bad. The word "your" is spelled "your" not "yo". Here's a word that describes who you are: asinine

If you don't know the definition for that word, there's a book called a dictionary. It will help you get that GED

[DrDarkie3000]

@SuperMe4lyfe You sir, clearly lack an understanding of my persona. To question my grammar and education is an extreme folly on your part. You're making assumptions based on nothing other than a comment which I might add is solid fact. If you want to get into big words why don't you look up "Chandrasekhar limit" and once you understand the universe you can talk to me.

[SuperMe4lyfe]

@DrDarkie3000 okay???

[KrazyKid1110]

@DrDarkie3000 But does anyone understand the universe?

[shaolinfool]

@DrDarkie3000 LMAO!!!!!!

[randcentral]

I saw him at Bumbershoot in Seattle around 2000 and he was great. I miss this. To me .. this was anti-ganstarap. Positive, smart and totally awesome hiphop. Sigh!

[MCJonZen]

[kjp1194]

HEY WHAT IS THE BEAT CALLED?

[ohiodudemanguy]

THIS SHIT SUCKS. His delivery sucks, his lyrics aren't tangible to any logical thought process. He's basically carelessly reading out of a fucking dictionary.

[nismo510]

@ohiodudemanguy

you obviously don't know shit about hip hop, go back to your Keith Urban concert.

[ohiodudemanguy]

@nismo510 you obviously never listened to real hip-hop. You probably don't even know the true roots of hip-hop. You're stuck on this bullshit when really you need to be set back to the Grandmasters and work your way towards current good music. You probably can't listen to a full wutang song because its not "real hip hop" to you. You know you're stuck on that ICP bullshit too. Fag.

[nismo510]

@ohiodudemanguy

you obviously don't know shit about hip hop, go back to your Keith Urban concert.

[lenarita1]

@ohiodudemanguy you know nothing.

[ohiodudemanguy]

@lenarita1 you know bad music, as "good music"

[harharWolfMan]

@ohiodudemanguy be a realist man, you dont have the right to judge

[ibarra116]

@lenarita1 no, you know nothing. Next time you listen to real music like this, bring a pen and some paper to take notes

[bentron3030]

@ohiodudemanguy

You're mental. Carry on...

[Regressive78]

@ohiodudemanguy lol wtf are you talking about? It may sound like reading out of a dictionary if you're not listening to it but it's definitely cohesive, you're just being an asshole. I'll just repost the A section for you. You can't say the letter A is ok and he just falls off after that, lol fuckin troll. fuck outta here..

I BE THE ANALOG ARSONIST AIMIN AT YOUR ARTERIES,

[zShwagg]

@ohiodudemanguy

Dumbass. You don't have shit on the Gift of Gab, and if you did he would still destroy you. Considering he's the guy making money DOING THIS, and you're not, you shouldn't judge.

[sab24k]

pretty dope.. ya'll should check out alphabetical slaughter by papoose as well..

[Ginga]

That was cold smooth.

[Mwenjo7]

isn't this the last 40 seconds of the song?

[philbrando]

this song is the shit this is the first song i heard when i heard Blackalicious! Keep It Up!!!!

[KPizzle1000]

Check Papoose's "Alphabetical Slaughter"

Compare for yourself.

I still like this beat better...

[jac1318]

papoose's was inspired by this and alphabet aerobics

[Earthblaster]

Papoose's inspired version of this was awful. He tried to sound intelligent by copying someone else's ideas and failed.

You can tell he spent a lot of time trying to think of those lyrics and still didn't accomplish much outside of what most typical rappers achieve.

[KPizzle1000]

Why'd you call it inspired if you think its awful?

Papoose got a more "Ebonics" version ( in the sense that he'd get "Street" play...), but I still love Gab on this.

Sayin' said.....Blackalicious prolly ain't playin' five buck venues like dude....

Sad we still think of Hip Hop as disposable...

[Earthblaster]

I didn't care to type out that his song was inspired by this song and Alphabet Aerobics.

I just think if you're going to do a song like this, don't do it just because you want to look good. It seemed like he had good intentions but went too mainstream to prove anything beyond "You can rap, good job."

Hip-Hop isn't disposable, people like Papoose make it disposable. Do it because you love it, not because it'll earn your street cred or the biggest paycheck.

[KPizzle1000]

Agreed.

Boy, Papoose got the shit end of this debate... dude ain't terrible! Needs a little work but...

[Dymescaler420]

man,loving these rhymes

[BlackRose8374]
