Critic Consensus
Based on 20 concert reviews, the critic consensus is that Blackalicious is rated as an impressive live performer, with many notable strengths. Blackalicious concert reviews describe live shows and performances as energized and grandiose.
Gift of Gab (Tim Parker) and Chief Xcel (Xavier Mosley) met at John F. Kennedy High School in 1987 in Sacramento, California and formed the group in early 1992.
Although he was a solid opening MC all of his songs featured a recycled and tired grandiose statement about the world at large that proved tedious quickly.
Long before Kendrick Lamar and Beyonce brought Black Lives Matter to the public consciousness, Blackalicious were putting black politics front and centre.
