I just recently started listening to Talib Kweli, he is a wonderful lyricist!!! The beats are great, and what I love most is that there is a message. Most hip hop today is about money, cars and girls, he talks about love, people and positivity. The cd has fast songs when you need to get up and go, as well as songs when you want to just relax!!!
I first heard Talib on a verse on Black on Both Sides(Mos Def). Since then, I was hooked. This album is a wonderful blend of mind boggling lyrics and smooth Funk beats. Hi Tek did his thing, too! This album was so hot EA Sports had to put one of it's songs on an older version of Madden 2002. It's a great buy!
Talib has been doing his thing for awhile, and Hi-Tek's beats are the perfect match. My favorite song is "The Blast." That dreamlike beat over Talib's raspy rhymes, it is too good to be true.
The raps Kweli comes up with on this album are ridiculously good. He flows so well that even when you say "that shouldn't really make sense", it makes sense! Perfect album for a long drive. This is my first Kweli purchase, but now I might have to buy everything he's made
With the clasic single "The Blast", the album is a blast! Talib Kweli demonstrates why he should get more airplay on commercial radio. It is unfortunate he doesn't get his due, even to this day.
On of the best true MC's in the game today. Hands down. Artists like this are rare and do not get enough attention.
