"I can't get this CD out of my player!"

"I love it so. I bought it after seeing the video for "Make You Feel That Way" and I haven't been disappointed. Love the vibe of the CD...it just flows and the mix is well done, as you go from a "head-nodder" to a smooth groove so seamlessly. I just put it in and let it play! My absolute favorite jam is "Nowhere Fast," which comments on what we were, what we are and what we hope to be "tomorrow." I love this CD so much, I went and bought their other two full play CD's. I make my girls sick with how much I play this CD. I guess I'll eventually take it out the rotation, maybe "tomorrow!" A must for anyone who loves great HIP HOP!"

Best album I've heard in years

"Blackalicious is an amazing group, and Gift of Gab is one of the most talented lyricist - not only in the sense of finding the perfect words to express his thoughts, but in composing them in such a way that they create absolutely addictive rhythm.



Blazing Arrow is by far his best CD, and it's the best because not a single song amongst the lot is short of instant classic. Alphabet Aerobics and Chemical Calisthenics are awe-inspiring in their wit. Blazing Arrow and Nowhere Fast are completely flawless tracks. But Make You Feel That Way and Release are nothing short of a pure ecstasy - the former just makes you smile and the later is nothing short of a masterpiece with Saul Williams adding his brilliant poetry.



Get this CD if you like hip-hop. Get this CD if you don't like hip-hop. Get it now, and be convinced that the genre is worthy of the highest laurels."
