Talib Kweli

Mos Def and Talib Kweli are Black Star

A Modern-Day Tribe Called Quest

Review Score: StarStarStarStarStarStarStarStarStarStar (10/10)
Black Star, compromised of Talib Kweli and Mos Def, is a killer combo of rap skills. The soulful rhymes of Kweli mixed with the deep, knowledgeable rhymes of Mos make for the best Cd of the previous 5 years. Personally, Mos and Kweli remind me of two other rappers who worked together- Phife Dawg and Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest. They go back and forth with each other seamlessly, as if it is one artist on the track. In a day of gun talk, death threats, and constant bragging in the rap game, Blackstar is a refreshing reminder of what Hip Hop really is supposed to be.

Top Three songs:

Definition: an uptempo beat and fast lyrics make for a song that will definitley make you bob your head.

Respiration- No words really give this song justice. Common's guest appearance comes at just the right time. An abstract beat combined with witty lyrics from all three artists makes for the best song on the CD. Takes a few listens to understand the full greatness of this song.

Thieves in the Night: Very laid back, with a quiet beat from Blackstar. The actual subject matter from Kweli and Mos is what brings the song together. A very deep song, one that also takes a few listens to really understand.

Overall a Hip Hop masterpiece, one that should not be passed up by any true music fan of any genre.
