Gift of Gab - Protocol
Producer: G Koop
Album: Next Logical Progression
Label: Quannum Projects
When discussing pure ability to rap one of the emcees that deserves to be on the short list of “flawless” is Gift of Gab. From his eargasm causing rhymes on Alphabet Aerobics and Chemical Calisthenics to his soulful and uplifting approach on First In Flight, the California emcee has been blistering microphones for quite a long time, either as a part of his group Blackalicious or solo. After a brief break from the game, Gab is back with a new song called Protocol featuring Samantha Kravitz, from his forthcoming solo album The Next Logical Progression, due out March 27 on Quannum Projects. Gab, whose voice is showing slight signs of aging and his years of vocal performance, takes a few minutes of time to address the new school of largely talentless hacks with a rhythm riding flow that is simple in Gab terms, but probably confounding to the Wiz Khalifa’s, Lil B’s, and Gucci Mane’s of the world. This more than accomplishes its task and should have those who hear it looking at their calendar towards that March 27 release date.

I like the cuts on the beat, but I don't like the sound of this beat at all. The chorus is really cheesy-sounding. The artists' flows sound outdated. I'll pass on this one.

I must respectfully disagree with Dj Blaze. I think it has a rather good best. And Gift of Gsb does flow well. Sometimes you have to take it back a little old school. It's not a bad rap.
