Gift of Gab was most definitely a big part of my life's soundtrack since high school. I might have seen Blackalicious in concert more often than any other group. He was one of the most brilliant emcees I've ever heard, and from all accounts was just a great human. Sending love out to his family and friends. This is just a short tribute mix with a few favorite tracks and a few samples that give me that feeling that became part of the legendary music he and Chief Xcel made together. RIP.

Trash Or Treasure DJ Mix

Beat - “Crime” by Anno Domini Nation

Lyrics:

Intro: 

Yo, cocky son of uhm
Co-cocky son of a
Cocky son of a sine
Uhh, fuck it, yo

Verse 1:

Cocky son of a sinister
I'm probably not the one she deserves
Honest to god I am not living pure
I promised my momma I'll grow up
So I'm not a kid to her, ha, naw
Who am I kidding, I live by do or die livid
I'm suicide tripping, doing lines, sniffing
Two or five then it's lose my mind drifting
Through the night lifted like who's this guy kicking
Ruthless rhymes twisted to the right rhythms
Smooth as fine linen, news is I'm gifted
Grooving, grinding, living, I booze the finest liquids
Losing time sipping juice and ice with gin
Ugh, I'm so sickening, puking up blood and old licorice
I don't give a shit what you don't know or think of me
I'll go ghost before I flee the scene, that's no joke I'm eager to leave
Do I flow slow or speed up the beat I don't know, I'm feeling a beast
Ha, yea, feeling a beast, feeding, I leech on, wielding a leash
So real and east, seeding, I preach on yielding the least
Or dealing my peace, heeding, I reach for fields on a beach
No stealing my sleep, meaning I teach on healing a dream

Hook:

With no censors, I'm uncensored
I roll ces up, my tongues centered
I know best, fuck, life sucks, better
Write those bets up, 'cause I'm gon' get hurt

So when the nights young, I let the white bumps
Give the right numb, til I see the bright sun shine up
So when the nights young, I let the white bumps
Give the right numb, until I see the bright sun shine up
Yea, until I see the bright sun shine up (shine up)

Verse 2:

I spend my nights so dazed
Getting drunk and lighting haze
When I spit, what I rhyme gets praised
So there's no stopping what I done, did, do or made
Yea, you know what it is, I do it big, keep it strange
As a beast that slays every single beat that bangs
If you enter my scene you'll change into a fiend that craves
Hip-Hop and raves on top of drugs, liqour, weed and babes
Ha, ain't that some shit, I still feel sober after blazing half a zip
That's so accurate, pass me my pen
I'll show you how I mastered this
Spent $200 on a vape just so I could take the fattest rips
While I'm kicking back, puffing darts
Just hoping that the cancer hits, ugh
Now can't I spit, go ahead and tell me I can't
I want someone to diss
Yea, I want someone to tell me their albums dropping
Just so I can tell ‘em to cancel it
Cause what's the point of doing this
If you ain't even half as sick
As Eazy was before he exhaled his last inch of breath
Uhhh, answer this, I'm asking quick, what's lacking skill once you've passed your pinnacle
Uhhh, fast and filled with "cans" and "wills" while acting ill with the wackest of syllables
Uhhh, if I'm asked to kill a verse
Then I'm forced to fulfill my worth
But what's the order I writ my words
Aw, fuck it, I guess I'm still the worst
In this world, I been the first
Before I learned to sin and curse
Like this the type of shit that happens when you’re a king at birth
Yea, this the type of shit that happens when you're a king a birth

(Hook)

Verse 3:

Life sucks, I must try, but why? Fuck, I'm done
Lies, lust, wine, drugs, white rum, my love's like, thus
I'm stuck high up, my trust might jump, I cuss
Cry, run, sigh drunk, find what might hush my fuss
Naw, fuck that, all I do is bust raps
For SicklyIll, now tell me who wants a contract
Tell me who wants to oppose and wants me to stop rap
So I can tell 'em fuck you and go eat a dick
Ha and I only say that because I can
I'm uncensored with no restrictions, I have no strings
Freedom that has no ends until the day I'm ded
Spell that D-E-D ‘cause to me the A means to ascend
Which I will never do I was born with my head unscrewed
So to say I never had a soul to pray for you and that is forever truth
I’m here to execute, my tongue is a sword, as well as my pencil to
Use 'em to sever through EmCee's and send 'em to hell not heaven, ooh
OD

MR BOP-APPROXIMATELY 52 MINUTES BEFORE 2019

Back in 2002, High C of the Dallas Texas based crate digging crew Rehash and DJ Raj Mahal of Soul Strut would swap mixes to feature on each other's site (Real Audio style).  The mixes usually contained loads of breaks and beats lifted from obscure 70s jazz & funk, with the occasional soundtrack and prog record thrown in.  I present you exhibit A.
