Title: Kwelity over Quantity
Review: Being a BlackStar fan I have high hopes for both Kweli and Mos to continue their stellar rhymes over dope beats... It's hard to say it but ever since Kweli's freshman album (Reflection Eternal) each year that passes, his skills deteriorate. I thought Beautiful Struggle was bad, this one is worse!!His flows doesn't have the tricky metaphors he used to deliver and his word play skills is struggling, his vocab is elementry, and his knowledge is on a grassroot level.. He doesn't fwok with the mind anymore. And most of the beats are mediocre. There are some glimpses of Kwelity from tracks like: "Everything Man", "NY Weather Report", "In The Mood" & "Soon The New Day". BUT 4 songs out of 20?? That's not even 25%..Last good album Kweli dropped is Quality, and this is exactly what Kweli is lacking.... My advice cop the new Mos album, it takes you back to hip hop of old, it has a old skool feel to it (late 70s early 80s).
