Blackalicious - Blazing Arrow album flac

With their 2000 debut album, Blackalicious established themselves as one of the West Coast's top outfits in this vein, and while it was very good, their follow-up, Blazing Arrow, is simply fantastic, vaulting the duo to the forefront of the progressive hip-hop pack. Much of Blazing Arrow retains NIA's airy, laconic feel, but the group's sense of craft has improved to a startling degree; the hooks are sharper and more plentiful, Gift of Gab's rhymes are denser, Chief Xcel's production is more breathtakingly lush, and his arrangements more sophisticated.

Blazing Arrow" artfully mixes skillful lyrical wordplay with groovalicious beats and melodies in such a unique fashion, that it seems almost limiting to merely call it hip-hop. So much of what passes as hip-hop these days consists of pointless rhymes and recycled beats, that it's a breath of fresh air to hear true ARTISTS with the vision to think outside the box and take hip-hop to another level. Blackalicious did a great job building from their debut NIA and scoring some well-timed features for this album. Love "Nowhere Fast," "Blazing Arrow," "Miles," "Make You Feel This Way", & "It's Going Down".

Blackalicious Lyrics. Amazin phase your days your hazy ways my Blazing Arrow The rays that range from Asia way to Rio De Janeiro A craze you crave? but work today's the day that in a major way I'll make you say oh look he saved the day and also paved the way (hooray) Rockin? my crew like razor blades today and days away
