As for Talib Kweli, he wasn't really any less 'black history' driven than Mos Def was on the 1st Black Star album. The whole album is meant to be that way (look up Black Star if you don't know its historical significance). I think his parts on that album are excellent. And I really like Kweli's Reflection Eternal album. He and Hi-Tek's production work really well together. I don't much care for other Kweli albums though. Also, I only really love Mos Def's Black on Both Sides album as far as his solo stuff. And since I'm feeling lazy I hope somebody will do my research for me and tell me if that N*****s In Poorest is from the upcoming album? Is it Madlib? What are those other songs Phantom Limb posted from? None of them are nearly as interesting.

All 3 of those songs are solid to me. The last of the 3 being great to my ears. Even though it's repeated in many songs, i love that fluttery voice sample in the last song. Really soulful stuff.
And yes there produced by madlib i ****ing said that And talib kweli is rigid. They touch on similiar themes, but the way the present it is very different. Mos Def has always been funner and more engaging. Quote:

I agree that Mos Def is far better than but I still like Kweli. And the 3 Phantom Limb songs are fine, just not all that exciting.
Who's gonna do the research I asked for? I need some solid data before I get excited about a new Black Star album.

Well...I've never really used the google before and it's kind of intimidating.
But if nobody here will tell me what's what I guess I'll need to venture out

I'm pretty sure Niggas in Poorest isn't gonna be on the new Black Star album. What I heard is that it's from an album that Yasiin is putting together where he raps over super mainstream stuff and tries to make it better, though Niggas in Poorest wasn't that great imo.
