Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are BLACK STAR POLL

wtf

"Children's Story" is really hitting me lately. What an album.

I hope that second album actually materializes

the new black star album is called no fear of time, consists entirely of years-old tracks produced by madlib, and is officially only available behind a paywall, so fuck it without relent and listen to it on youtube while you can.

It’s not good. So stale

absolutely agreed.

feels like way more of a mixtape than a proper album. just beats and rhymes. not awful, but they sound so unenthused the entire time. guess it was recorded in makeshift studios (hotel rooms and the like) and it sounds like it. the black thought feature was quite welcome and the last four tracks are really the meat of the album. hard to consider this a proper follow up, but i guess that's technically what it is. nothing embarrassing happens, it's just all so meh.
super disappointing. 2.5 mics.

Yah just absolutely nothing memorable here. Not a single hook or melody of note.

The original album is one of my favorite albums.

well then, this will be a huge disappointment for you too =/

The original album is one of my favorite albums.
