...mediocre sound set-up for their sets, it was difficult to hear their lyrics, but they were far more successful in hyping up the crowd than Fatlip. Their stage presence was strong in a clichéd way, that kept the crowd happy and could definitely lead to pop-hop success. Having never seen Blackalicious in person, I was surprised to see only a sweetly rotund man (Gift of Gab) with 2 back-up singers and a DJ. It was an energetic performance that demonstrated Gift of Gab’s many, many vocal ranges, from Twista-esque fast-paced...
...further than the two versions of “Wages of Love.” On the acoustic rehearsal track, he offers an expressive, almost tearful dirge for lost love; on the commercial release, however, bland instrumentation and uninspired vocals turn the song into middle-of-the-road pop. Side-by-side, the recordings are almost an apology for such a bland sound. The compilation’s charm—and it does have charm—comes not from its aesthetic, but from its history.

Ideally, there would be a breathalyzer at the door—if you blow below a .15, no stamp for you, chief! Better yet, you would have to increase your blood alcohol...
...something to be proud of, and they save time and embarrassment. I also personally hate Word’s squiggly red lines, so spelling things correctly the first time is a must for me. As a result of my experience, I am always interested when spelling is portrayed in pop culture. On last week’s episode of “Grey’s Anatomy,” two doctors performed brain surgery on a teenage boy, a spelling champion, in fact. The boy was awake during the procedure and the doctors tried to engage him in conversation...
