Black Star - Soundbombing Freestyle Posted by: TheNotoriousMEX
Video duration: 261 seconds Another filthy but rarely heard track from Mos Def and Talib Kweli - this time, a freestyle. From the Rawkus 1997 compilation album Soundbombing.

Hi-Tek - Breakin' Bread Posted by: TheNotoriousMEX
Video duration: 234 seconds This deviates somewhat from my usual Black Star uploads, but is still closely tied in that this track is from the long-time producer of Black Star, Hi-Tek, and one of my personal favorite rap tracks - "Breakin' Bread." From Hi-Tek's 2001 album, Hi-Teknology, featuring Brian Digby Jr., Crunch, Donte, and Main Flow.

Talib Kweli - Too Late Posted by: TheNotoriousMEX
Video duration: 206 seconds Another amazing track from Talib Kweli's 2000 LP, Reflection Eternal, echoing a similiar theme to Common's "I Used To Love H.E.R." - the disappearance of meaningful hip hop music. Of course, both Common's 1994 track and Kweli's 2000 track are more relevant today than they were then. Related: 2000, eternal, hip, hop, kweli, late, rap, reflection, talib, too |

Common - Geto Heaven, Part Two Posted by: TheNotoriousMEX
Video duration: 299 seconds One of the many great tracks on the classic 2000 LP, Like Water For Chocolate. For whatever reason, Amazon and a few other sources show that the album now includes the Macy Gray remix instead of this original track - a remix that leaves a few things to be desired, namely Macy Gray's voice. In any event, here's the original Geto Heaven, Part Two, with vocals from D'Angelo. Related: 2000, chocolate, common, dangelo, for, geto, ghetto, heaven, hip, hop, like, part, pt., rap, two, water |
