Slept on Rappers

"Blackalicious is an American hip hop duo from Sacramento, California made up of rapper Gift of Gab (born Tim Parker) and DJ/producer Chief Xcel (born Xavier Mosley). They are noted for Gift of Gab's often "tongue-twisting", multisyllabic, complex rhymes and Chief Xcel's "classic" beats. The pair have released three full-length albums (1999's Nia, 2002's Blazing Arrow and 2005's The Craft), and have been described as "one of the most popular groups in the independent hip-hop scene.". At a recent solo show (June, 2010) Gift of Gab announced that he and Chief Xcel were 7 songs into their new album, and hoping for an early 2011 release."

Smoov-E is a bay area rapper from California whose influences include Mac Dre, a Bay legend whom he did many tracks with. He's got eight albums out from his original debut album "Smoov E" in 1999 to his 2008 release, "Rusty Squeezebox". Eli is known for his extraordinarily suggestive lyrics towards sex and drug sales, but doesn't talk much about violence surprisingly. He openly admits to his record saying "I'm a full fledged felon, fuck misdemeanors". His obsession with underage women shows in many of his different songs, one time in "Rollerskates" saying "did the monster mash on that ass, and played it cool/ had her back up in this ride and dropped this bitch back to high school//" and in Dreamgirl where it's nearly completely about having sex with his "dreamgirl" which is depicted in the video as a girl in her mid-teens.
