Throwback Thursday

It's that time again, get into this INFAMOUS throwback from Brooklyn bred Talib Kweli. The single "The Blast" featuring Hi-Tek is off Kweli's album "Train Of Thought". The media has quoted Kweli as being the best-known and critically, if not commercially, successful rapper in alternative hip hop. What I find so interesting about this Brooklyn MC is that his name means "student" or "seeker" and his middle which is Swahili means "true". I also love the fact Kwelis is a conscious rapper. He actually takes the time out to master his lyrics instead of feeding into what the media wants. It's no shade to artist like Weezy, Plies and Soulja Boy but, Kweli takes you back to Real Hip Hop. That is very innovative as my com padre Kim would say! Talib and long time Dj Hi-Tek are working on a second reflection Eternal album which will pick up where Train of Thought left off. I look forward to hearing the material on that masterpiece. With that said get into "The Blast" by Talib Kweli featuring Hi-Tek.
