A Welcome Respite...

Review Score: (8/10)
...from the onslaught of meaningless, senseless, forgettable pseudo-hip-hop that continues its stranglehold on the genre...

Mos and Kweli dare to supplant the "yesteryear" of the culture and cerebral lyricism that made (SORRY, but it's the TRUTH!) Tribe a voice for millions of thought-starved heads. Where Mos is the Yin, Talib, without question, carves his "Yang" niche -- the duo complement each other perfectly.

OUTSTANDING PRODUCTION. Listening to this CD gives you a window to block party mic battles, the lore of breakdancing, and a true sense of belonging in the Black Diaspora. How can one CD lull you into a woozy state of lyrical bliss, while pimp-slappin' that a** into the realities of the music scene and Black Man's world-at-large?

This CD is not for the "get money, shake that thong" set -- All you non-believaz gets NO LOVE for this kind of project. If you ever dreamed of teaching your kids about hip-hop consciousness, dig this primer: Lost Poets, to BDP, to PE, to Tribe, to Black Star. Get this jont, and be proud that you did!
