"I like thoughtful hip hop that also has a good beat and melody."
"I first heard Mos Def and Talib Kweli as "Black Star" on Chappelle's Show a long time ago and knew I had to check them out. A few years later, I finally got around to getting the Black Star album and had really high expectations with so many 5 star ratings and so much praise around it. Twice Inna Lifetime- 5/5. My opinion is that with the exception of the "Intro", the interludes like "Yo Yeah" and "B Boys" could've been cut to put in some top notch songs. Anyway, the songs I gave 4.5/5 or 5/5 are when Talib and Mos Def are in synch and totally have you captured in the moment. Some of these songs do live up to the huge hype that this album gets and that's why I think it's worth owning."
"It just expresses so much feelings and important issues on society especially dealing with racism."
"Truly a great album that makes me remember why I love hip hop."
"Great Album."
"very few rappers compare to this and if u dont know of this u dont kno hip hop. this music is innovative and deep and these guys are in the underground and uncommercial like lots of the pop rap while hi tek is one of the best producers and he can put a jazzy beat like tribe called quest or a fast one or a natural sounding one or reggae beats he is amazing and talib kweli and mos def are all about passion and visions and every song sounds diffrent every time u listen to it."

"Awesome album, showed up in a couple days & in perfect shape."

"Not as good as I remembered."
"THE ABSOLUTE BEST THESE TWO HAVE EVER DONE, RYMES ON POINT GREAT NY STYLE."
