Gab, relaxing indoors preparing for the upcoming set, gave us a very candid insight into his thoughts on several subjects including his favorite artists of both past and present, the state of hip-hop today, and even dropped a few hints about some upcoming projects.
As far as new music is concerned, Gab's faves included the Durham, NC group Little Brother whose new album, The Listening, recently dropped on ABB Records as well as Quannum Projects newcomer label-mates, the Lifesavas.
As if to support Gift of Gabs praise of the group, the Lifesavas' displayed their dynamic energy and really showcased their talent later on in the week at a national tour stop at Chicago's own Empty Bottle.

 Rolling Stone : Blackalicious' Gab Goes "Up": The Gift Of Gab
While Gab maintains that the disc is a departure from his work with Blackalicious, there's no denying that the meat of the record -- the beats and the rhymes -- come from the same intelligent place.
Gab is as forceful an MC as the Notorious B.I.G., but with greater warmth and speed in his delivery.
Gab may be part of an independent collective, but he makes no bones of his pride for this record and his desire to have it heard.

 NIPP: Artists: Gift Of Gab (From Blackalicious)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The San Francisco-native Gift of Gab (alias Tim Parker) frequently falls victim to the Sugar Ray/Mark McGrath phenomenon (you know, when supposed fans use the band’s name to refer to its frontman).
So for starters, let’s clarify: Blackalicious is the group, Gift of Gab the rhyme technician and the Chief Xcel the DJ.
With “4th Dimensional Rocket Ships Going Up,” Gab has gone solo and replaced Xcel with Seattle beat smiths Jake One and Vitamin D. Although I hate even using the term ‘underrated’ or ‘slept-on,’ Gift of Gab is just that.

One half of the legendary Bay Area underground hip-hop duo Blackalicious, Gab may be best known for "Alphabet Aerobics," an unparalleled display of verbal acrobatics recorded in the late-'90s with J5's Cut Chemist.
In 1992, Gab moved to Davis to reunite with Xcel and found an intense, progressive collective, centered on rowdy KDVS radio shows and all-night living-room freestyle sessions.
As Xcel prepared their first album, Gab joined DJ Shadow to record "Count and Estimate" as part of Shadow's side of the first SoleSides label 12-inch in late 1992, and released it to underground acclaim.

 * Dusted Reviews - Gift of Gab *
Gab himself keeps it together well, and if his lyrics here aren't as remarkable as they were on Nia or Blazing Arrow, they're still ahead of the game.
However, on other songs Gab's delivery tends to fall into worn patterns of regularly punctuated emphasis in the middle of each measure ("I'm giving it my all, it's just my sentiments are falling as I give into the power of just living in the now").
As for the solo thing, Gab turns in another album's worth of solid acrobatics, but only on a handful of well-produced tracks does he shine like he has in the past.

 eastbayexpress.com | Music | The Gift of Gab
Gab uses a gorgeous kalimba loop on "Way of the Light," a floating harp flurry for "The Ride of Your Life," and wah-wah guitar throughout "Ride On." He also enlists Omega Rae, Choklate, and Vursatyl (of Quannum's Lifesavas crew) for sweet harmonies on several tracks, while Herman (Pops) Brown supplies psychedelic Funkadelic-esque guitar on "Stardust."
Lyrically, Rocketships finds Gab spreading his wings while continuing his always remarkable floetry.
There's still plenty of braggadocio ("I could get you higher than the seeds of a poppy") and odes to a higher power (ugh), but the MC also tries his hand at an actual love song ("To Know You") and a bit of storytelling ("In a Minute Doe," a letter to a nephew in prison).
