    Default Black Star - Black Star

    Black Star by Black Star (Mos Def and Talib Kweli)

    1. Intro
    2. Astronomy (8th Light)
    3. Definition
    4. RE: Definiton
    5. Children's Story
    6. Brown Skin Lady
    7. B Boys Will B Boys
    8. K.O.S. (Determination)

    10, one of my top 10's of all-time.
    In the world I see, you're stalking elk through the damp canyon forest around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty carpool lane of some abandoned superhighway.

    havn't heard this, but if it's also got Kweli on it, even if Mos Def sucks you know it's half decent.

    Yea, if you haven't heard this you've been sleeping. No matter your views on Mos/Kweli you must respect this album It's in my top 5. Heres a dope track offa it called Respiration featuring Common.

    ^^That's like one of the top 5 greatest tracks ever IMO, just straight fuckin' poetry, it has my favorite chorus of all-time.

    8... overrated album. A better variety in the type of beats used would have made a dramatic difference.
