Talib Kweli says the Black Star album has been done, but is being held back

[NVious]

He mentions something in the comments about Madlib’s lawyer/manager. Wonder if Egon (Madlib’s manager) is holding this back.

 

[Deltron]

wonder why

sample clearance shyt?


that's really only the thing I could think of....cause other than that...no real reason to hold it back

 

[Ziggiy]

Damn i was looking forward to this

 

[PlayerNinety_Nine]

Filing this right next to Yasiin and Madlib's album made up entirely of Zamrock samples that I expect never to actually get to hear

 

[Piff Perkins]

Must be samples which means they tried to go thru a label instead of independent. If it was Stones Throw they'd just put it out regardless of clearances so I doubt it's Egon. I of course am assuming this is about samples, could be wrong.

I love Madlib, but if he's involved I'm never confident that we'll get it until it's actually out.

Damn that's a thing?

I don't think I've said it on The Booth before, but Game and Just Blaze did an album of all horror movie samples that we'll never get to hear as well.

 

[really tho]

Deliver us

It is

Madlib & Yasiin Bey Recording An Album Inspired By Zamrock

You’re making an album with Mos Def that’s inspired by Zambian rock from the 1970s. How did that come about?

We’ve been working on it for a long time. I’ve got a lot of unreleased tracks with him, and when he comes to L.A., we link up. I showed him all the Zambian stuff from the group Witch that [Now-Again Records' Eothen "Egon" Alapatt] released on Now-Again. Mos loved it. I have another album, too, full of all Indian Bollywood sampling stuff that I did with Mos. We’ll hopefully put out an album of that later.

They have a Bollywood album that we'll never hear as well, apparently.

Never heard about the Just and Game project. I wonder if Game namedrops horror movie antagonists all over it

5 Candyman shoutouts and Tony Todd appears in the booth and drops a fire 16 ....

Which is also next the other Black Thought albums we'll never get.

Streams of Thought, Vol. 1 carries that freestyle’s impressionistic spirit with that knowing audience in mind. Though this is Black Thought’s first solo project (previous would-be debuts Masterpiece Theatre and Danger Mouse collab Dangerous Thoughts were shelved), the EP avoids any Herculean this-is-my-time statements in favor of weaponizing the quiet self-assuredness he’s earned in his decades as the Roots’ vocalist. Co-headliner and producer 9th Wonder mainly strings together a collection of soul loops and falls back, allowing Black Thought to throw down technically wrought, hookless verses. Rigorous but rarely hermetic, the album is a small testament to his sustained excellence.
