Timothy Parker, better known by his stage name Gift of Gab, is an American rapper best known for performing in the Bay Area hip hop duo Blackalicious along with DJ Chief Xcel. He is also a member of Quannum Projects, a Bay Area hip hop crew and record label, and has performed and recorded as a solo artist.
Gift of Gab is often praised by critics for his rapping skills – Allmusic says he is “one of the very finest MCs to ever pick up a microphone”, “one of the best underground rappers in the business”, “his raps are jam-packed with internal rhymes, allusions, metaphors, ten-cent words, and amazing tongue-twisting feats of skill”, and he has been able to “redefine the art of lyrical technique”.
Peter Shapiro describes him as “a walking encyclopedia of MCing styles”,Pitchfork Media refers to his “astonishing verbal dexterity and enunciation”, Popmatters says he has a “nearly impenetrable reputation for style and innovation”, and Stylus Magazine calls him “one of the top MCs in the game”

When I asked the group if they would let me be their fan, they said “When?…” And I said “FOREVVVVAAAAAA!!”
I would love to go to Gift of Gab and the Theoretics!! Gift of Gab is an amazing lyricist and there’s nothing in the world like live hip hop. And it’s like a seven piece band!! Who wouldn’t wanna see that??? I’ve seen both more than once and they give a great show. And dancing is plentiful at Nectar. Although… maybe these tickets should go to someone who has never seen them. Let’s open someone’s mind. :)
…”Times I feel I wanna shout, man it’s real that way
When I think of things that make you feel that way…”
Man, all the mixtapes I have Gift of Gab on, never seen him live. Would be amazing to go.
Much Love <3
Not only is Gift of Gab probably the best stage name ever, he is 1/2 of the best hip-hop groups ever to come out of the Bay Area (my home). ALSO I have had the fortune of catching shows by Theoretics and Nu Era and they are both super, super dope.
I wanna go! Gift of Gab rules and Nectar Lounge is my spot :-D. Show me some love!
I love Theoretics and would be excited to see Gift of Gab, so this sounds perfect!
Blackalicious taught me the real alphabet and Theoretics makes me feel that way. Gift of Gab would think it’s Effed Up if I don’t win these tix
Congratulations Elaine!
