Talib Kweli

Mos Def and Talib Kweli are Black Star

Two amazing MC's and an OK producer

Review Score:

(8/10)
I'm a huge fan of Talib Kweli and Mos Def, but some of the production is a flop. I liked Hi-Teks beats in "Reflection Eternal", I guess he a got a little lazy on this one. I can't wait for the new Talib record though. "Definition" is the first single from the CD, and is one of the best records from Mos and Kweli. "Redefintion" is a step back from "Definition". A lot of classic cuts on this joint, but again, there's a couple of tracks that I would skip. If they let Kanye West handle the beats on this joint, I can guerentee this would be a classic album. "Children's Story" is the most creative track on the record. Kweli and Mos really flip the script on "Hater Players", that is one amazing joint.

Overall, this is better then 90 percent of the garbage they call Hip Hop these days. Black Star is amazing, but Hi-Tek can do better (just listen to Reflection Eternal). If you like this joint like me, you will LOVE "Reflection Eternal" and "Quality".

**Talib Kweli is currently finishing up his 2nd solo album...
