Free Music Notes for Reflection Eternal/Train of Thought
Free Music Review: amazing cd
Hit: 5 Stars
this cd is great, so use the 5 star overall ranking as indication of its greatness. Hi Tek makes dope beats, and Kweli spits unbelievable lyrics song after song. Unfortunately, people like Robin J. Cantone have to say that it "is not very good", and "kweli does not have a good voice for rap" Ok, what is that supposed to mean? I think that he has a great voice for rap. He also does not just have amazing lyrics, but also a great flow to deliver them to perfection. O yeah, and if you say that Dilated Peoples says that rappers should write a book if they don't have a voice it nonsense. In case you are too stupid to realize it, Dilated Peoples is great friends with Kweli and has done many projects with him, so I doubt he was talking about Kweli when he said this. Oh, and another thing, you complain that Kweli is not conscious enough? You gave "Get Rich Or Die Tryin'" 5 stars once, and 4 stars a second time! If you say Kweli isn't conscious enough and that is why this cd sucks, then how is 50 (one of the least conscious rappers I have ever heard) any better? Exactly, he is much worse. Kweli speaks about emotions that everyone can relate to and he does it eloquently, so whats wrong with this cd? I say nothing at all. O yeah, and you say it is too long, but i find this is one of those cds that i never skip songs on. So this has quality AND quantity, so how is this a bad thing? If the songs are all classics, then why should there be less songs? And you say that dead prez is better than Kweli? They may talk about more political things than Kweli, but they have much worse flow, and their lyrics are decent at best, whereas Kweli's are among the best of all time. You cannot say that a political message is the only thing that matters in a cd, because it is not. All right, now back to the cd, it is great, dont hesitate to buy it because someone like that says that the cd is trash. If i had listened to someone like him, I would not have had such an incredible time with this classic cd that i have. There will always be people who disrespect things that you like, and if you listened to these people, then you would have a very short list of things you can enjoy...o and by the way...im not a kid, i just do not have an amazon account. And one last thing, if i spent this much time writing about one of the few naysayers of this album, then imagine how much it must mean to me. And how much it will mean to you if you give it the chance...its cheap, get this asap!Free Music Review: The # 1 Must Have Hip Hop Album
Hit: 5 Stars
I have been a NY music junkie since roughly 94' and through all the years and all the different albums "Reflection" is still my favorite and the most complete album Ive ever heard. For anyone contemplating this album please check it out. Talib is by far one of the most gifted MC's to ever spit and when you combine it with the smooth Hi Tek beats it creates a really good vibe, that should be a MUST own. Ive always liked Kweli but nothing has yet come close in the past few years to the quality of this album. If anything at least check out "Love Language" and "African Dream" my two personal faves.
Enjoy
Free Music Review: This Album Iz The Real Deal!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
I wasn't sure what to expect when I bought this cd yesterday, I read all the reviews and decided to check it out. I had never heard Talib Kweli before and I have just recently been getting into New York rap. I used to only listen to alot of Westcoast and Southside stuff like 2pac, Brotha Lynch, SPM, and Scarface. Up until yesterday my 3 favorite New York albums were:
1: Mobb Deep - The Infamous
2: Jay-Z - Reasonable Doubt
3: Nas - Illmatic
They R now all moved down a notch!!! This album is now #1
Talib has a great mind and is an amazing writer, but to me the beats and production by Hi-Tek earn it the 5 stars.
My favorite tracks are:
The Blast, To Late, Memories Live, Africa Dream, Love Language, Touch You, and Good Mourning.
To me these songs are all 10/10
If you like intelligent, quickstyled raps- CHECK OUT THIS ALBUM! But, like I said: The beats and production are worth the buy alone. Peace Out Muzic Lovaz
Free Music Review: Arguably better than "Quality" and a classic album - rap fans will love this!
Hit: 5 Stars
I would argue that, overall, "Reflection Eternal/Train Of Thought" is the more interesting and consistently enjoyable album of his two classics. While "Quality" was also amazing, I'd prefer this to it. Talib is still a great MC, though he isn't my favorite - he's more of a great lyricist than a great MC. DJ Hi-Tek once again delivers high-quality production here - they somehow manage to be different yet somewhat familiar. I'm not really sure how to explain it - overall, however, this is a great album for clubs, the car or, basically, anywhere. The lyrics are as interesting as ever and definitely worthy of paying attention to, even if they're hard to hear at times (this is where Talib isn't my favorite). I don't know what else to say about it - if you're a rap fan then chances are you'll love this along with his follow-up "Quality". I'm not sure if non-rap fans will like this, though. All things aside, however, this is highly recommended!
Highlights include:
the entire album!
Free Music Review: This is one of those Albums!!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
It's too bad that America's evils are eating away at itself. RAP Music brings a mirror to the world and shows you your reflection. Our culture as a nation and country is arrogant, egotistical, capitalistic and shameful. It's no wonder that RAP Music today lacks so much.
BUT....THIS IS ONE OF THOSE ALBUMS!!!!! That shows you there are intelligent people. That there is caring people. That we all arent caught up in vanity and commercialism. That alot of us arent mainstream, and that there is still great RAP music. This album is honest, conscience, lyrical, and of course DOPE!
I was fortunate enough to grow up in an environment that RAP Music was more that what you listened to but what you lived. I grew up knowing RAP to stand for Rhythm And Poetry. It is so engulfing and powerfull that is highly suprising how wack it has become.
But like I said THIS IS ONE OF THOSE ALBUMS!!!!
You wanna hear good beats...this is one of those albums!
You wanna hear a lyrical emcee...this is one of those albums!
You wanna hear music driven on substance instead of driven on revenue...this is one of those albums!
Really..this is one of those albums you want. I'm happy that there is still RAP Music like this. When you hear it, you understand whay this music is so strong. You understand why the WOLRD emulates and creates it. You appreciate it.
Go cop it, stop wasting time reading this. Go pump this in your system and listen.
