Title: Hip-Hop for Respect
Review: With so much focus on "ice" and cars in today's mainstream hip-hop, it is certainly pleasing to my ears, to hear mc's like Talib Kweli and dj's like Hi-Tek, bring some respect back to hip-hop. Their debut album, Train of Thought is everything I expected and more. Kweli never ceases to amaze me with his lyrical ability. His articulation accompanied by the his smooth vocal tone put me at ease and remind me why it is that I listen to music. Hi-Tek presents Kweli with the perfect production to compliment his rhyming style. The two show that they can produce a well rounded album of upbeat party joints, such as, "This Means You" featuring Mos Def and "Soul Rebels" featuring De La Soul, as well as laid back songs such as, "Too Late" and "Memories Live." If it were up to me, these two would be nominated for a Grammy. The future only looks brighter for Kweli and Hi-tek and any success they recieve is well deserved.
