    Probably Kweli´s best album, he´s a beast on the mic and even on less impressive tracks he completely owns it and shines. With it comes a pleasent feel of "real music" without getting acoustic, standouts come from Kanye, Dilla of course and the Cocoa Brovas, Black Thought AND Pharoahe Monch as guest stars are welcome as hell. Only letdown: no Hi-Tek.

      A classic, underrated and underpriced. Let's hope for Black Star 2.

        Great album. Dilla is always on point and so is Kanye West
