Free Music Notes for Quality
Free Music Review: Classic Kweli comes again!!!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
This album is exactly what the title says...QUALITY. Talib is still that same hip-hop artist that teaches us our black worth in a messed up society, of course to a hot beat. My favorite songs goes as follows on the album- Gorilla Monsoon Rap,Won't you stay, good to you and countless others. Kweli is the truth in a more fresh way I encourage all to get this album it is a must have in the Kweli collection. If you are new to Kweli then you will still enjoy this let it play from beginning to end, real underground flavor.
Quality Poster
After collaborations with Mos Def (1998's Black Star) and Hi-Tek (2000's Reflection Eternal), underground journeyman Talib Kweli finally emerges fully solo with Quality. As an MC, Kweli is still as incisive as ever--his distinctive, darting flow stabs its way across every song and, as one of hip-hop's better thinkers, he covers a wide range of moods and ideas. As a verbal ass-whupper, Kweli unloads on songs like "Rush," "Shock Body," and "Guerrilla Monsoon Rap" (featuring the Roots' Black Thought and Pharoahe Monch), but he takes things much further than just the lyricist's lounge. "Get By," produced beautifully by Kayne West, is the conscious hustler's anthem, while "Where Do We Go" muses on death as thoughtfully and introspectively as "Joy" (with Mos Def) delves into the wonders of birth. "The Proud" tackles American jingoism in a time of terror, providing a much needed dose of skepticism when patriotic sentimentalism has free reign. Though Kweli's thoughts are coherent throughout, Quality as a whole lacks a certain cohesion--there's no single guiding vision that glues all the pieces together, and the album's production-by-ensemble doesn't help. This is a solid album no question, but especially compared to ambitious contemporaneous concept albums by peers such as Common and the Roots, Quality feels unexpectedly conventional--a strong collection of songs in need of a unifying force. --Oliver WangRap & Hip-Hop Music CDs
