[edleon75]

damn after all these years damn track is fire!!!!!!!! classic!

[minto420]

one of the best beats ever and @nappyclown dont hate on jay, sure his new shit is pretty bad but his older stuff is top notch

[Gregus04]

Great sound...!!!!!

[Taxidermistification]

This is worthy to be called great.

Enuff said.

[bigperm959]

@raoulhery LMAO. That line is from 1987. Look up Audio Two "Top Billin"

[raoulhery]

wow, Kanye stole the .. is chilling, ... is chillin what more can i say

[ilikedrumming]

[itakeyouthere]

[hypnoticalillness]

illest shit ever ...... mad props

[drummersization]

HAVIN A SESH TI DIS FO SHOW

[wgreason]

Are you part of the resurrection? Build the next movement now.

[noiserrr]

just so you know, this is the best hip-hop track post 2000 and definitely hi-teks best production work he's ever done.

[itXmakesXsense]

Fuckin make this available on mobile

[lakertony216]

In highschool this song was one of my favs, a perfect song.

[Afrikanize]

No lie texturized emcees who got the masses mesmerized

with empty rhetoric, they better quit

Niggas so hollow that they echo like sentiments

Nowadays rap artists coming half-hearted

Commercial like pop, or underground like black markets

Where were you the day hip-hop died?

Is it too early to mourn? Is it too late to ride?

- Talib is still the Truth

[usdsean]

i used to listen to this song every day before work, great starter song for a hard days work

[autte]

man! this beat is SUPER in every way hi tek fuck ing genius

[jchinds]

a real live killa...sent to the MOST HIGH by the most fit

[fbolduc03]

this beat is so overlooked.



[HealthEuphoria]

i love talibbbbbbb

[bigdave818]

I dont know where u search for your stuff because there isnt a high def version. only live but not the recording. So dont come talking shit if you aint got shit. Vonhalfordick. Just listen and enjoy or sit down and shut up son.

[VonHalford]

Why the fuck would you taint this song with low quality???

[bigdave818]

@VonHalford Where's your upload in High Def?? Dont have one then sit down.

[VonHalford]

@bigdave818 I do have one. Go and enjoy.

[bigdave818]

@VonHalford You just uploaded it when you wrote that comment. Whatever you did to it, it doesnt allow us in the USA to listen to it. SMART GUY

[VonHalford]

@bigdave818 ah. It doesn't really matter regardless because if you actually Youtube Search Reflection Eternal - Too Late.. there is a High Quality version. I don't see why your angry at me though honestly, Low quality sound on Hi-Teks amazing production is degrading and really ruins the whole listening experience. But I mean let him who have ears hear. I'm surprised you people can listen to LQ without cringing

[sublimevenom]

One of my favorite songs ever...this is just musical perfection

[DJEZDick420]

15 years old i hate how my generation is making an infamous name for its culture but whattya gunna do

[757uptni55a]

@DJEZDick420 keep listen to real shit like this and stay true to our culture so we can keep it alive bc im always goin love real rap so as far as im concerned Hip Hop(not Shit-Hop) will live for eva

[The011119nazer]

Dammmmn i get goose bumbs son, this album is a timeless classic!!!!!!

[mattyjay86]

Does anyone know the name of the last song in this cd?....cant think of it

[prgmtkftlstk]

@mattyjay86 that would be "expansion outro"

[tropicalpimp]

The epitome of Brooklyn hip hop.

[susiey325]

[vadyastreetstyle]

[themixedupkid]

[PlanetPariss]

[SygNok82]

@PlanetPariss Sorry nice try, but I prefer this version. Better flow

[MBalzEsHari7]

Audio Two reference, Top Billin

[Smo0ochMyGooch]

Nobody makes them beats better than Premier, Tek, and Dilla

[WhoGotTheDutch]

Beat and Kweli's flow never gets old

[BlacksAreBeautiful]

Can somebody, anybody please bring real hip hop back......Pretty please!!!

[jjonas222]

is it too late, too late?

[1Iana1]

memories

[fukdepopo]

thi is hiphop brotha

[Lukcio88]

You can debate whether he's complete garbage or not, but you can't argue about this: he's narrow. Talib is on a MUCH higher level, different ballpark altogether.

Best rappers?

Blackalicious,

Talib,

Common,

Eminem,

Mos Def.

Pharoh Monch, Gangstarr and your other favorites are good, but there's a break in between.

Jay z? Really? The only reasonable doubt is that he doesn't belong on this message board

[BallParkFigures]

2pac

[Lukcio88]

Jay z? How did he even get on THIS msgboard!?!?!!

Someone said they liked the black album - I prefer the grey album (beatles samples from the white album, mixed with flow from the black album).

Fact is, Talib has songs that everybody will love, regardless if they're die-hard rock fans or punkers or of they like classical music. The guy is in artist. Jay-z is hip-hop only.

[christru2]

yeah i dont like jay either i think his music and style is boring.i dont see how jay z has ever done anything good for hip hop.he never had lyrics like this.now this guy right here is real.

[nappycrown]

where were you the night hiphop died ,listening 2 jay-z lil wayne bullshit

[TheRapResurrection]

Jay is not wack

[nappycrown]

yes he is sorry to burst ur bubble,jay-z wack

[TheRapResurrection]

I used to think the same until i heard Reasonable Doubt.

[nappycrown]

reasonable doubt is a classic ,but nothing else he does is on that level

[TheRapResurrection]

Blueprint and Black album are good... But hes a Freemason faggot now, so he can rott in piss

[nappycrown]

@TheRapResurrection 4reel he's reinvented himself so much that he's old n played

[MrrJmastaP]

@nappycrown you seriously say jay is bull shit? you obviously dont know shit about what jays done to the game. check out reasonable doubt son. classic rap album

[14niepce]

@MrrJmastaP I'm sayin it too. No matter what he made in the past. The whole history, that's what i witness, that's what i talk about. He killed his genuinity the day he became a business man. Anyway he didn't killed hip hop, just his reputation. To me time killed hip hop. Nothing more, nothing less.

[papayi139]

my hip hop refelction is eternal!!!!

[chepe371]

this is the track that serenaded my teens

the anthem for hopping the train, shoplifting, bombing and staying up all night on wednesdays for Off The Hook freestyle on CKUT 90.3

[puttmill14]

about to see this in concert tonight, bitches.

[JeromeBakerSmoke]

how was it

[puttmill14]

it was sick Talib rocked the house.. played a lot of unreleased joints off his upcoming cd with hi tek.. some old classics.. then he pretty much kicked his dj off stage and started djing and just pretty much threw a party.. all of this while i was front row

[lugan0crew]

i love talib kweli !!

[supamanluva4]

what the hell! 8000 views only! n that goon crap talker kanye gets millions. shocked but somes up the state of music in general i guess. this is total brilliance on all parts :) im happy now was bit down before. thanx talib!

[ghostface411]

fucking good beat

[TheGreatMozeek]

Talib will always be a beast.

[brooklynlevo]

everyone tries to get a piece of hiphop´s cake...

[BlackBinLaden7]

this was when kweli was at his finest wish he would go back to this style again

[SchielGilles]

Sad that only few people seem to listen to good music..a classic..

[tasgraff420]

@SchielGilles YOU ARE A LEGAND FOR WATCHING THIS!

[WaltThizzney415]

@SchielGilles we are the selected few

[wgbarnes101]

this album birthed classic track after classic track.

[chinita41]

this track and beat is hot, perfect beat its so smooth.

[24Adrian24]

more true now than a year ago....

[lindseykinyon]

@24Adrian24 Thats the truth!!!

[lindseykinyon]

@24Adrian24 so true!!!!

[ahmonrah40]

@24Adrian24 hits even closer to home now, than when you posted this! until things change this song will continue to haunt listeners....

[shogunimpact]

@24Adrian24 Still on the page, even mor true one year after

[slimprofessor]

@24Adrian24 still just as true three years later sadly

[Tehrifah]

DIS WAS DA REALEST ALBUM OF 2000

[turcaz1]

got to love this song for soooooooo many reasons memories memories!!

[thetrue2rocks]

props to HiTek too

[ghostface411]

yeh bro have u herd the sample for this im looking for it now its some jap dude wen u here the sample your like dame he made a beat from this good shit man i think obscurity has it on her page its dope

[24Adrian24]

I just found it...its Passepied by Tomita..even though i used to be, I'm never amazed anymore of what producers like Hi-Tek sample, They are music lovers not limited by genere's or categories...

[thetrue2rocks]

It ain't too late,

I'm gonna help populate,

this isn't a postulate,

let me demonstrate,

as I take time to commemorate,

Talib Kweli who is helping orchestrate,

the True Revolution which is time to operate.

TruePeace

2Rocks

[UnspokenHeard26]

this song has everything you need to get your head bounce :D lyrics/flow/beat/chorus...just a masterpiece...and for sure one of talib kweli´s best songs :)

[seanisapro]

This is a great example of REAL HIP HOP!

The combination of lyrics, flow, style, production and one more important ingredients sadly missing into days hip hop/rap.

SUBSTANCE!

[kokainpsykos]

its not so much rare it exist allot if u search underground artist, but the media dont want to hype this kind of shit, yeye whatever. hipop aint dead jet its some guys that stil got dat boom bap! sorry for bad englis im from sweden!

[BlackBinLaden7]

talib kweli's best track in my opinion

[stuhill43]

wow, amazingly good lyracist

[caponekillah]

the king

[noggin420]

I think it might be too late.........

[NewYorkMets324]

Soulja boy killed hip hop

[keeganz1]

It was long dead before him, but hes just contributing to it.

[44xela]

talib kweli all over the world

[dieuxroux]

How about Soulja Boy? obnoxious

Talib is great! That's real rap/hip-hop, baby!

[juanpo504]

this is my shit man....i remember the first time i heard this...this what made me look into talib and i discovered hi tek...

[Buavesy]

Real rap as well as hip-hop. The days where they were tryin to make a point with the flow. Now its all commercial shit that is the same bitches, hoes, money and drugs. Fucking garbage. Where the fuck was I when Hip-Hop died?

[masterholunder]

yeah i completly agree with you...hip hop like this is rare and that´s a pity

[foadahmed]

yeah this is real rap not these days fuckin commercial everybody is caught up with this commercial shitt START TP RECOGNIZE. tupac and rappers like talib kweli is real rap.
