Blackalicious – Make You Feel that Way

Blackalicious is a California-based hip hop duo, composed of MC Gift of Gab and DJ/producer Chief Xcel, noted for their intelligent, artistic approach to hip hop music. The pair has released three full-length albums (2000’s Nia, 2002’s Blazing Arrow and 2005’s The Craft) that has won them considerable critical acclaim and a sizable following. This song is one of those feel good songs that make you appreciate life. It talks about all the things that make you feel that good and help you enjoy life a little more. This is a great song, even coming from a bit of a pessimist like me. It’s also dedicated to the biggest optimist I’ve ever met, who taught me to look at the brighter side of things every once in a while.
