Review: Gift of Gab- Escape 2 Mars

Gift of Gab- Escape 2 Mars [Cornerstone] (2009)// Mark: B+

Mannn I wanted to love this, really I did hearing samples left and right “Dreamin”, “Escape 2 Mars”, “Light Years”. 4th Demension Rocketships was like a perfect painting. So when Mars came out I hopped on that shit fast. So far so good the intro is dope so im excited at this point, then then… El Gifto Magnifico too me sounded like a Mos def reject but thats ok the album picked up from that point BAM! Electric Waterfalls. I dont know maybe its just me but I hate having to skip songs, its the worst why not want it all too flow together like a story? Now listen the album wasnt “terrible” its just not up to my expectations Gab, but hey I still bought it and its playing strong on the ipod. For you guys buying it on Itunes (like 90% of the world now) I recommend not buying the entire thing unless your a GoG/Blackalicious fan just listen too me and get these tracks for sure, (E2MTRO,Light Years, Dreamin’,and Escape 2 Mars) and if your new to Gift of Gab  just ignore this entire post and go straight to 4th Demension Rocketships and get edumicated.

Im going to try and help out with these:
uno- Gift of Gab- Lightyears
dos- Gift of Gab- Escape 2 Mars
tres- Gift of Gab- Dreamin
