who other than myself actually bought this album when it came out back in 98 (i believe)? i would bump this and cats would be like 'whos that, thats nice.' its always been about listening to whats good and not being played on the radio for myself. underground to the death of me!
If you like artists like Lupe Fiasco, Mos Def, Nas, and J. Cole, I think you'll like my music too. Check out my singles “Microphone” and “Rhythm & Poetry” (feat. Diem and eKZ), and tell me what you think. Any feedback is appreciated. I promise I don't disappoint.
lol this is really well known classic hip hop. listen to some real classics like ugk, eric b and rakim, pete rock, INI, KRS ONE, CL Smooth, Pase Rock, and really listen to all of Notorious BIG's shit.
I can not believe this track has 14 years old?!?! It sound so fresh and brand new!!! This is what i call a timeless track. No matter how many years goes by this track will sound always fresh and brand new!!!

Okay now wheres the song for the black brothers LADIES. I'm not talking about song going to the THUGS. Last song I hear towards the good brothers was Angie Stones and that was back in 2001(something). lol.
@EarlofSlander1 Yo man how like that "History" joint, when I first heard that I thought yo here we go. But nothing, So sad. Every time I play Brown Skin record at a party someone always asks who dat. I'm like r u serious. Any ways I'm glade I'm not the only one waiting for the Black Star mother ship.
The world needs another blackstar album to drop. for the hip hop community and for the future of hip hop itself. keep it alive cuz there aint nothing more beautiful and more real than hiphop music.
Very uplifting. I know it's hard to be confident in a society which doesn't appreciate afro-centric features and deems coarse hair wide hips luscious lips and brown skin as ugly. But it's quite the contrary!
@theLement5 those features are what i love about black women. I don't like light skinned model black women with Euro-centric features. I love black women's hair and beautiful bodies, and the saying is true, the BLACKER THE BERRY THE SWEETER THE JUICE. I prefer DARK skinned black women. to each their own of course though.
@boffan1988 Y'all are the minority since unfortunately everyone else's "conditioning has been conditioned" - and I do believe they love being conditioned, lol. Red or blue pill....
The only "eurocentric" feature is lack of skin color and albino type traits (blue/green colored eyes, blonde/red hair, body freckles). All else you can find among African people somewhere.
Unfortunately, most black people don't know their features are a beautiful/natural blessing needed for this particular sun kissed planet.
This song takes one to another level. A level beyond standard human thoughts. This song makes me picture opening my eyes, and seeing a land in the sky, a gold sunset, clouds, and immaculate white structures, Hennessy in crystal glasses, and that amazingly beautiful woman Kweli and Mos Def describe.
This makes me feel so loved <3
