Black Star: Mos Def, Talib Kweli (rap vocals). Additional personnel: Apani, Common, Jane Doe, Vinia Mojica, Weldon Irvine. Producers: DJ Hi-Tek, Talib Kweli, Mr. Walt, Shawn J. Period, J. Rawls. After listening to this album, one hopes that the duo of Mos Def and Talib Kweli (both respected individual artists in their own right) would make this unification thing a permanent deal. In the wake of the disbanding of A Tribe Called Quest, hip-hop needs more efforts like the one put forth by these two. A well-crafted piece of work, with an infusion of concepts such as cultural awareness, spiritual reflection, self-actualization, and upward mobilization (sound familiar?), this album will uplift you and move your butt at the same time. Cuts like "K.O.S. (Determination)" and "Brown Skin Lady" should become classics if there is any justice in the hip-hop world. And "Thieves in the Night" is not far behind them.

Kweli and Mos Are Verbal Osmosis.
Pros: Incredible and unique lyrics, smooth beats Cons: That there are not more songs on the cd. Bottom Line: Going back to Hip-Hop's roots...... HHAWWO Part 3.
Pros: A complete package, Mos and Talib's fusion of intelligent street knowledge, politics and Motown chivalry. Cons: Somewhat short Bottom Line: Absurditively Dope in Every Facet - Black Star
Pros: Well, the fact that Hi-Tek produces most of the beats. The duo at their prime. Cons: I guess "Yo Yeah" is kinda pointless...but that's nitpicking Bottom Line: Brightening hip hop/rap forever more....
Pros: Superb Lyricism, great production, truthful and intelligent, underground Cons: One weaker track Bottom Line: Black Star shine the light on the past, present, and future of Hip-Hop
Pros: Classic, Perfect Production, Top-Notch Illuminary Lyrics, Singing Variety, Rellevent and Various Subject Matter, Excellent Guests Cons: 1 skit.. 1 weaker track... Bottom Line: All Aboard for the Blackstar Line!
Pros: Intelligent, socially and politically conscious hip-hop. Cons: - Bottom Line: the best alliance in hip hop
Pros: good beats, awesome rhymes, great lyrics Cons: a little bit of religion Bottom Line: Two Brooklyn born emcees unite to create a classic album
Pros: Top notch introspective lyricism, great production, deep and interesting subject matter, skilled and varied deliveries Cons: Several less than perfect tracks, one weaker track, thats about it Bottom Line: The best hip-hop album of the late 90s
Pros: Insightful lyrics and potent messages, good hip-hop production Cons: I'm still waiting for the second album. As for this one I'm struggling for negatives. Bottom Line: Mos Def and Talib Kweli are Amazing
Pros: The near perfect hip hop CD Cons: A little short Bottom Line: |
