This week’s pick comes to you from Black Star feat. Common off the self titled album “Mos Def and Talib Kweli are Black Star” that was released in 1998. This song is just amazing. You have 3 of the dopest MC’s ever in Talib Kweli, Mos Def and Common on the same track with a super dope beat produced by Hi-Tek… come on! When I first heard this it became an instant classic and the Black Star album is and will remain in my top 5 hip hop albums of ALL TIME.
