其實，我不太聽RAP這種形式的音樂，總覺得少點什麼我說不上來的東西，也許就是不喜歡吧！話雖如此，我每次聽到牙買加腔的RAP時心情不知怎的就是會HIGH起來。好，重點是，我不常聽音樂，更不常聽RAP。

但是，這Blackalicious不知怎的就是對味。



他們是一個雙人團體，由胖胖的饒舌歌手Gift of Gab（本名Timothy Parker，Gab為饒舌之意）及ＤＪ兼製作人Chief Xcel（本名Xavier Mosley）於1992年成軍，據說是美國頗具知名度的地下饒舌樂團。



坦白說，Gift of Gab或其他饒舌歌手唱的詞我大概只聽得懂不到一成，但那些歌詞從他口中念出來帶種難以言喻的魔力，手臂不自覺的就舉起來開始擺動，比我之前去看跨年的LIVE演唱會還讓我亢奮。像嗑了藥的猴子一樣蹦跳的電子琴手Herve Salters除了那手指真的快又準到不行外，那瘋狂扭動的身軀又幫現場增加了不少熱度，以下是他的影片。



融入歌詞、融入群眾、融入現場熱度，在黝暗的房間裡面舉起手用最大的小聲（不想讓我家老頭擔心兒子瘋了）跟著現場觀眾一起吶喊，讓我的夏夜亦復熱的難耐。

附上一首我覺得蠻屌的"Chemical Calisthenics"的歌詞，大夥觀摩觀摩。


I can do anything

Neutron, proton, mass defect, lyrical oxidation, yo irrelevant
Mass spectrograph, your electron volt, atomic energy erupting
As I get all open on betacron, gamma rays thermo cracking
Cyclotron and any and every mic
You're on trans iridium, if you're always uranium
Molecules, spontaneous combustion, pow

Law of de-fi-nite pro-por-tion, gain-ing weight
I'm every element of brown

Lead, gold, tin, iron, platinum, zinc, when I rap you think
Iodine nitrate activate
Red geranium, the only difference is I transmit sound
Balance was unbalanced then you add a little talent and

Careful, careful with those ingredients
They could explode and blow up if you drop then
And may hit the ground

Let it flow, yo, just let it go, get back

C-A-O-H-2 wine water solution of calcium hydroxide
Slobbin it, C-A-O lime will make bleach powder
Galvanic metal beats stomp out louder
Dried ice, C-0 squared refrigerant
N-O-2 makes you laugh, it's laughing gas used by the dentists
I nearly added acid glue, I'm like oil of a toil, the king of chemicals
And the G heat gas waved all your mats
Chemical change, ice point, melt all your raps
Atomic weight, hold shocks, when you call
Refillable gas keep going way beyond
Biotch I'm only ill with buzzin, feel the ambiance
A diabetic process outta calm your ass
After I warm your ass, I'll give sodium, silicate N-O-2-S-1-O-3, a water glass
Borax flexure full of brimstone sulfur
Boraxic acid, hip-hop preserver
C-O-2 could never put away the fire
Style aroma is scientific; the lyrical fuse would be connected
To teach you chemical calisthenics

The Theory is that all matter is composed of at least three fundamental particles
Protons, electrons, neutrons, Protons charge is positive
By now you've guessed electrons are probably negatively charged
Neutrons don't follow either, neutral, in the middle, only no apologies
Centered, unmoved by yin and yang ideology
Neutron, bomb songs, electron fury
Cosmic musical radio-activity
Different points in joints within infinity
Oxygen and hydrogen alive within all types of energy
Within all types of energy
Within all types of energy
Within all types of energy
Within all types of energy, inside a world, inside a world
Inside a universe, inside of me existing although I can't see it

Hydrocarbon, nitrogen cycle, ionization
Heavier than electric motor metals that weigh over a ton
This has been a chemist, Blackalicious creation
Clean out your desk, put your papers away cause class in almost done

This is chemistry plus calisthenics
I'm calcium plus potassium, magnesium, newspaper of sodium, sulfate
Your solvent, chloroform, remedy from the norm
glycerin, purest form Titanium
there is no way out, when this newfy is out
of all arms vibration, forming in a nigga
some bleachin' to teach ya religious is equal to pieces of meteor
Eager to be here or is it, can see here I know all of all
I'ma pickin' up pretty little Cindy
I'm more, I'm thinkin of more,
I'm cookin a potion!
