Editorial Reviews :
Blackalicious's debut, Nia, was grossly underrated despite emcees Gift of Gab and Chief Xcel's witty, Afro-centered conceptual leanings. Blazing Arrow picks up where Nia left off, but features a more mature-sounding duo utilizing even tighter beats and more cerebral rhymes. When they're teaming up with fellow West Coasters like Dilated Peoples' Rakka Iriscience ('Passion') or Jurassic 5's Chali 2NA ('4,000 Miles'), the results are off the meter. The sheer number of well-utilized guest spots from non-rap genres (Ben Harper, Rage Against the Machine's Zach de la Rocha) and downright catchy choruses ('Sky Is Falling,' 'Make You Feel That Way') expand mainstream rap's limited new-school paradigms in ways that are desperately needed. Although the duo still aren't anywhere near the most-skilled emcee's in the Bay Area's burgeoning underground movement, 'Paragraph Preside' is a must-hear track, featuring wildly schizophrenic rhyme chemistry and wily wordplay. At a time when dullards like Fabolous get props for being a skilled emcee, any rhyme duo that is more interested in pushing envelopes than licking 'em deserves your ducats.
Buyer Reviews :
If you're a hip-hop fan, this is the album that you need to pick up this year! Do yourself a favor. Chief Xcel, The Gift of Gab and the Blackalicious crew know how to bring the loveliness to your ear with dope beats, and incredible lyrics! joints like blazin arrow, paragraph president and chemical calisthenics keeps your head bouncin and a smile on your face all day long. As a hip-hop fan of many years, i can honestly say, it doesn't get any better than this. peace.
