Is Talib Kweli & Hi-Tek "The Blast" definition of a perfect rap song?

[Jerz-2]

Outside Blackstar...I'm not really big on Talib Kweli like that but this joint is just perfect brehs...

Talib verses (Even the video version) & Hi-Tek jumping on it & killing it...

Then the beat mixed in with the females vocals just makes it head nodding...

shyt is just represents soul, uplifting & struggle all & the same time...

Should be mentioned more when it comes to the greatest rap songs...



Keep on dancin'
Ya gotta keep on dancin', yeah-yeahhhhhhh

Yeah, this one of my fave joints ever.

 

[Rhyme n Tekniq]

 

[JoelB]

100% classic record

 

[Tasha And]

Train of Thought itself is damn near perfect.

 

[C-Styles]

Mos Def and Hi-Tek are solely responsible for fooling everyone into believing Talib Kweli was a nice artist.

i would have agreed with that but dude dropped "Quality" which was a solid album and got Kanye right on his come up to produce some of his best songs. Kweli knew how to stay in his lane early on.

 

[Ill-Mind]

Even tho Kweli is a clown, Train of Thought was a classic album

 

[Mike Ock]

Train of Thought itself is damn near perfect.

Definitely. This song, "Memories Live" and "Love Language" are probably my favorite songs on the album.

Train Of thought and CNN's Reunion might have been my favorite albums in 2000.

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Yep. Everything was top to bottom perfect

 

[Piff Perkins]

One of the GOAT "backpack" records too. It got radio play and had him buzzing.

 

[Cloutius Maximus]

Even tho Kweli is a clown, Train of Thought was a classic album

Absolutely. Been listening to it since HS and it hits even harder as you get older and get more life experience. Songs like Memories Live, Love Language, Good Mourning & Four Women

as lame as Kweli can be on social media, I'll always rock with him for this album, both Black Star albums and Get By (along with the remix)

 

[dappadonna]

Prefer the G-unit version tbh

 

[FlyRy]

Talib T'Kwi

 

[African Peasant]

Kweli was cool as hell. Then... he got on Twitter

 

[Bugzbunny129]

Talib kweli and the term perfect song are not two things i generally think of at the same time, no

Nah, Talib was a decent rapper off the lyricist lounge era/rawkus era. I stopped listening to him after the first reflection eternal album.
