21. Black Star - Mos Def and Talib Kweli

Man, when I first heard this album, 'Definition' stood out to me the most. Not just because the song blew my mind, lyrically and audibly, but because of the interpolation of Boogie Down Production's 'Stop the Violence'.

WhoSampled

I always get an old school vibe from this album. The beats have golden age tendencies as well as the newer school spin the lyricists involved spit.

Overall, great message put across throughout "Black Star".

Favorite Tracks: Definition, K.O.S. (Determination), Hater Players
