Artist: Mos Def & Talib KweliTitle: Black Star
Year: 1998
Rating: *****
Notes: Y'know how some albums are really unified - like they just have a consistent, quality feel throughout? Well, this is one of those albums. It seems to be the product of a very clear vision and its understatedness shows this. It's solid from top to bottom, there's a real "in the zone" feel about it. It's also interesting to listen to, the beats are neither too sparse nor too overpowering. Only the guest performances and lazy beat on "Twice Inna Lifetime" mar this near-perfect contribution to Hip Hop.
