Talib Kweli & Mos Def - Blackstar - Redefinition

[MrMooseone]

[thecrazyshowshow]

Drake,Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj disliked this video

[SilentButDeadlyGamin]

Gangstar, Black star, and outkast are the best duos in hip hop.

[secretcountry]

@SilentButDeadlyGamin and binary star

[amonanonymous]

@SilentButDeadlyGamin I respectfully disagree. I'd have to say Blackstar, Gangstarr, Eyedea & Abilities, and Atmosphere. (In no particular order of course, thought E&A is probably my favorite of the four...)

[paciaja]

[mcblazeit323]

No duo like jay & kanye or wayne & drake Fuck With BLACKSTAR

[jammastereric]

I'm sorry everyone. What had happened was that I had the cursor in between the like and dislike button and there was a bug on the clicker. I mashed it but at the same time clicked the mouse and the cursor moved over to the dislike. I will take full responsibility. I had to repent and click like 5 times.

[prospect42191]

Talib Kweli lit a fire under this track, its like every line he spits takes you on a deep lyrical high..

[toothpick70]

@thesportsdude90 and guru and premier :)

[BlindLegsGAZA]

Mos Def just earned the right to have the ghetto anthem!!!! Easily one of the dopest verses in the history of hip-hop from beginning to end.

[oneloveoneheartletsg]

One of the best raps ever. period. case closed.

[TheJoeyNitro]

Mos Def's verse is easily one of the best verses I've ever heard on any song.

[twistedmetal99]

@thesportsdude90 goes together like chicken and waffles

[ampcanable]

It's crazy how so many people STILL are listening to this CD!!! I love it!!! This album came out in like 98 or 99... This album is still one of my favorite hip hop albums ever!!!!



[kmklover]

Dude Def's verse is probably one of the illest in hip hop history!

[mosikthemolester]

@kmklover its definately my fav mos verse.

[darbyblake]

@kmklover and gurus

[StormBlueChromie]

Proper hip-hop that you HAVE to graffiti too!

[mastermike4145]

@thesportsdude90 and snoop dogg and dre

[SkateChannel13]

They are the Perfect combination.

[traydamus]

Head nodder shit right here! Gets me open!

[Richie2k6]

Mos Def went OFF. one of the best verses i ever heard him spit

[thedjscotto]

I wish Talib was still spittin real shit like this. He's been on some garbage lately.

[Ginga]

@thedjscotto

"Gutter Rainbows" wasn't his best work but I loved RPM.

[Bigalfonduty]

playin games with your lies... best line tht hit me in this song, shits hood, songs got me blazed to the highest peek of man kinds.. -_-

[Wileykid2485]

@thesportsdude90 we get it!

[zunez0rz]

@thesportsdude90 Hey, Meth and Redman too

[Tusknia]

Cats who claiming they hard be mad fags so I run through them like flood water through sandbags.

[IMHENRYSELLARS]

There flow on this album was insane!!

[jose4891]

Infinite props go out to Mos & Talib for not only this album, but their entire discographies. Gotta mention Hi-Tek as well, Cincinatti stand up!

[brnsilkysmooth]

:) Dj Smooth

[jas16899]

I really don't like hip hop, but this album is art.

[nonjewish]

theres a reason this video doesn't have any dislikes.

[ampcanable]

From the first track to the last one...Twice inna Lifetime is probably my fave. This album is an all time classic. No matter what record store u go into, this one will be on the shelves!!! Best of all time....right up there with Midnight Marauders, Eric B & Rakim--Paid in Full(they were ahead of their time) and I have to put Tical on that list as well!!! Whats that shit they be smokin' .....Past it over here nigga!!!

[kayoschaos]

Nice real Nice

[twistoffate111]

@thesportsdude90 you forgot Method Man and Redman

[kmklover]

[mikegbassist]

[bosman1988]

[rodrisaf]

[BOYFROMTHEBLOCK1]

0 dislikes

[ps3rox]

these niggas got flow

[will777ify]

an absolute disgrace to music in general. this tune has got less than 60.000 hits when Soulja boy has 87m. It's tells you everything you need to know about the quality of music these days really. whats this world coming to?

[Nutoru]

Why does being better matter? Just let the music indulge your body and live through it while your mind relaxes and your soul thanks you for the wonderful music that flows through your ears.

[lvlrboon]

fuck that mos def > biggie ...fucking devil worshiper

[sulouh]

talib kweli, cant fit his words in and has no flow, mos def has mastered the flo and lyricism ten fold better than kweli. Save the best till last i guess...

[therebel426]

@sulouh are you serious? have you heard hater players or any of the other songs on this album besides childrens story and the skits. Talib Kweli is FIRE. Your right Kweli does sound different than most mcs but he does have flow. And im not trying to say Mos Def isnt good or that he isnt as good cuz in my opinion he is better. But u gotta give Talib Kweli some credit.

[BOYFROMTHEBLOCK1]

@sulouh talib no flow? u entitled to ur opinion but damn bruh

[sulouh]

@BOYFROMTHEBLOCK1 yea no flo, asin u can tell he just writes what he wants to thats why he has to rush to fit words on beat, and flow asin rythm, he doesnt follow any particular pattern. I guess u could call it that broken flo shit but its been done alot better by peeps like mf doom

[GhosTownM2P]

@sulouh talib on a diffrent level why did you even mention doom on this video?

[CoTrickster]

@BOYFROMTHEBLOCK1 for real, talib is sick

[LIBERATIONUNIT]

@xenocide321

better than biggie?

NO.

as good?

YES.

Listen to 'Long Kiss Goodnight' right after this and it will be clear.

AINT NO BEST.

[viper8k3]

@xenocide321 ur going a lil 2 far bro

[villagerenos]

@thesportsdude90 guru and dj premier don't make the cut?

[kahmarc]

Can't even decide which one's better; this or "Definition". All I know's that, as Mos says in both, I'll keep "pressing rewind on top (my) master disk" and will "talk about (him) to (my) grandsons".

Great lyricists, who seem to elevate each other's game. I wish they'd do something else together - the game at the moment badly needs it!

[actSHAUN]

If Mos Def's verse wasnt one of the best of all time idk what is.

[Sassafrass77]

1, 2, 3, Mos Def & Talib Kweli...

[CoolGuy95ya]

What are they saying

[actSHAUN]

@CoolGuy95ya you're not looking very cool right now..

[sharktribe]

@xenocide321 don't get into the better thans and top whats because real shit doesn't get nominated because real people don't nominate they listen

[jose4891]

Lyrically handsome.

[5ringswarrior]

biggie never spit a verse mos def ' s right there. yeah i would say better than biggie.

[mrslideinsideu2]

These cats are definitly some of Brooklyns Finest

[stizthedon1]

@thesportsdude90 how about lamb and tuna fish lolol

[danielquezada1]

the rap game as it is needs a 2nd black star album

[Ginga]

I've always gone back and forth as to whether I like this more than Definition. Regardless, they're both fire.

[return2hiphop]

@thesportsdude90 and kool g rap and polo

[PakaLOLOHiable]

@thesportsdude90 fur sure dude! put like a lyrical master

[robertpetrea23]

this that smooth hip hop shit

[War07]

@madchinchin yes

[oldskoollistener]

No one makes REAL anymore!!!! This is the shyt but too bad Mos Def's verse here is recycled, still raw, just disappointing I hoped that he would've tried more for this sick ass beat!

[Ginga]

@oldskoollistener

Mos's verse is recycled?

[mapwetzel3]

best of the best straight up!!!!!!!!!!!!

[itchyfart]

@madchinchin yuppp

[dieslowdammit]

This album may, indeed, be the greatest album to ever grace Hip Hop. The entire album is perfection.

[misskoool]

@dieslowdammit Ok, I can't believe I've never listened to it...I like what I'm hearing though.

[ampcanable]

@dieslowdammit I totally agree with you!!! I love this album!!! I am still rockin' the shit outta this album. Hell I lost it over 5 times....had to go back to the record store to get it again!!!!

[LilNaruto9tails]

@ampcanable God Bless the peeps who found it.

[AboSaud33]

What, lyrically handsome, call collect a king's ransom

Jams I write soon become the ghetto anthem

[bassmanjr14]

vintage hip hop. cudi, lupe, and wiz are all great contemporary rappers but they cant compare lyrically to black star and biggie and nas. wiz has some sick ass tracks tho no doubt

[itchyfart]

@bassmanjr14 i wouldnt say wiz is even close to them but lupe comes prettty close

[bassmanjr14]

@itchyfart agreed. cudi is sick tho, when he tries hard enough

[Doey14]

@bassmanjr14 blackstar biggie lupe and nas, but wiz and cudi are not even close to hip hop. 

[MikeGiunta]

Shout out to Duke Ellington?!? Hell yeah.

[ep1403]

@MikeGiunta he's actually saying swingin' like Duke Ellington not to be that guy but...

[BladeMasterRules]

1 2 3, Black Star shine eternally!!!!!!!
