[@jabbad2992]

This Album and Eardrum and both Talib and Mos along with Many others was my childhood in HTown TX 90s teen

[@douglassmcclellan8424]

Now you should review Talib Kweli and Hi-Teks album Reflection Eternal. You’ll see how cold Talib really is

[@yazeedyairbey]

Yessir...when Reflection Eternal came out in 2000, I had that and Jazzmatazz 3 in rotation.

[@douglassmcclellan8424]

@@yazeedyairbey heavy rotation bruh. To me that album has no skips and I do not say that lightly.

[@yazeedyairbey]

@douglassmcclellan8424 mannnn. I agree 100% Hi-tek doesn't get his props for the versatility of his production.

[@stance46]

I agree

[@jamalgrant1091]

One of the GREATEST ALBUMS EVER!!! What HIP HOP should be…..educated pro blackness!! In my top 20…..classic.

[@divineeternally2502]

One of my all-time favorite albums! Shoutout to you giving Black Star some air time! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Karl671]

[@LivinLegin]

Talib Kweli & Hi Tek- Train of Thought Mos Def- Black on Both Sides Kool G Rap- Roots of Evil Heltah Skeltah- Nocturnal Elli$- The Education of Ellis The Roots- Things Fall Apart Styles P- A Gangster And A Gentleman

[@DeadassPoetsSociety]

Respiration is one of the top Hip-Hop songs of all time.

[@q-dawwg626]

One of the greatest underground HIPHOP albums of the 90s. You gotta check out The Pharcyde 2nd album LABCABINCALIFORNIA. GUARANTEED DOPE!!! Appreciate the reactions

[@purposepassionandlovetv863]

LabCabin is a monster ✊🏿

[@bxnyc8298]

Beautiful album bro, it'll go over the lames heads tho

[@kptecx-xs2dw]

I knew you were going to raise up out of your seat on Mos’s verse on “Thieves in the Night” 😂😂. One of my favorite Mos verses of all time

[@memnoch0609]

What I like about your channel bro is that you legit listen to the albums like you’re by yourself. You give your inputs at the right time and just vibe! Glad to have subscribed 🙌🏽

[@theoriginalsamueljohnson]

If this is your type of Hip Hop/Rap here’s a list of CLASSICS in the same vein… Common - Like Water For Chocolate Talib Kweli & DJ Hi Tek - Reflection Eternal Rawkus Records presents Soundbombing 2 The Pharcyde - Labcabincalifornia Digable Planets - Blowout Comb The Roots - Illadelph Half-life A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders De La Soul - Stakes Is High

[@dominic3096]

You missed Gangstarr Moment of Truth 🔥

[@dreww1609]

Fire album (feel like the level of the tracks 'K.O.S.' & "Thieves in the Night' are all time classics but fly so far under the radar) - you gave it the acclaim it deserves RIGHT HERE! Some album thoughts (there are so many but just thinking of samples from across that golden era of some of the true Monsters: Fugees "The Score" / The Roots "Illadelph Halflife" / Outkast "Aquemini" / Tribe Called Quest "Midnight Marauders" / Dr Dre and Snoop "The Chronic" / Gang Starr "Hard to Earn" / Pharcyde "Bizarre Ride to the Pharcyde" / Cypress Hill "Black Sunday" / Souls of Mischief "93 Till Infinity / ANY OF THE FIRST ROUND OF WU TANG SOLO PROJECTS, especially Rae and GZA..... left out too many to count - love what you are doing here, feel the reaction right there with ya bro.

[@cestrella0108]

Thieves in the Night changed my whole perspective long ago; once you understand they can never take that away from you. 💯

[@lextado]

Yo fam…. I greatly appreciate your reaction!! You reminded me of when i first heard this artistry!!! You area natural at what you do!. Shout out from NYC!!🫡😎👍💪💪💪. Salute to all your other reactions too!!! We all appreciate it brother!😎

[@MonSune9551II]

The Brown Skin Lady sample in the beginning is played on a Podcast I listen to daily, he ends the program with that to end the broadcast. Glad to see someone peep hip hop/rap because the myth is it's all gangsta rap and violence. This is should be on people's bucket list for albums. 🧠💯👍🏾

[@UMS-dj3sx]

The sample is originally from an independent movie called Chameleon Street that was written and directed by Wendell B. Harris Jr. Great movie and can absolutley recommend it. Criterion released a restored 4k version 2 years ago or so.

[@mattjohn4731]

Talib referenced an epic song Black Is The Color Of My True Love's Hair

[@chadjohns6955]

Bro, I still will be sitting by myself reciting Thieves in the Night, randomly, 25 years or whatever since this album dropped, that song is burned on my brain

[@thedarkness3766]

We need Mos Def Black On Both Sides 🔥

[@LewisEquityPartnersLLC]

Greatest hip hop ever produced

[@kasino7132]

as an old head... i love seeing young brothas discover music i grew up with when i was yalls age 😂 so dope shoutout to the youth yall real hip hop forever bless up!!

[@eeds8860]

DOOOOOOOOPE. cant wait to see you hear this (weird sentence lol)

[@danamezchriz]

Thieves in the night the best track on the album and one of the best of all time

[@gibranmcdonald9853]

Classic album. It helped me grow. If you like this you will love Dead Prez and Digable Planets 👊🏾

[@ondramoody5670]

I really enjoyed seeing your reaction to these songs on the album. It was the same as mine back in 1999 😂 Thank you young Kng for recognizing and showcasing this iconic album. Peace & blessings

[@rayraydubb]

🔥 ALL TIME CLASSIC !

[@lavantwooten2581]

Twice Inna lifetime is slept on in regards to the rest of the album. Jane Doe brought it.

[@VeegovonDOOM]

They played homage to a lot of early 80s songs and artist on this album.

[@b-boycastertroy]

Classic 💯

[@keenobaerry3195]

Your playlist is missing Respiration I think unless you had to cut it, fire song with Common feature

[@bryonhill5486]

Mos Def's verse on Twice inna Lifetime is flawless.

[@rasicomega]

I'm glad to hear you say you felt at peace...that's really what this album does for me. The love Yasiin and Talib have for our people, for hip hop and for our culture as a whole is palpable and it's energizing and refreshing.

[@alexkoch7521]

This and eternal reflection make me feel serene

[@loudiamonds6587]

Classic Material

[@knockriobeats]

Man, this was in steady rotation in my car back then. Hearing it now, I feel like it could come out today and be highly relevant. Its just classic, undeniable hiphop. I know the kids got something of their own, but we were blessed with so much musical flavor. Between this, Black on Both Sides, Things Fall Apart and so much more, we were truly blessed.

[@fsociety7494]

Common- The Dreamer/The Believer album reaction request. i know you like this album. Great reaction as always.

[@gibranmcdonald9853]

Be and One Day It’ll All Make Sense are dope too

[@alexkoch7521]

Yr smile towards the end of Definition is my feeling towards this whole project every time like… there’s certain hip hop LPs I cherish and know every word and it’s get me going… but there’s nothing that brings an ear to ear grin than Mos and Kweli’s chemistry

[@Logicality]

It's great to see more and more people experiencing this album for the first time. I remember when it came out (I'm 43)...and it was one of the albums that changed my whole perception of hip hop and brought me back to what I love most about the artform. 🥰🥰

[@lirrflaco]

The Childrens Story song was a play on Slick Ricks original Childrens Story song, check that one out its a classic frfr.... Slick Rick straight legend! (Although I dont really like the video for the original Children Story i think it took away from the song)

[@mattjohn4731]

Yeah this was really cool. It seems really rare for rappers to cover a rap. But I recognized it right away because it was a popular Slick Rick song and I finished h.s. in 1990 so I knew popular music 🎤💪

[@deadlyDM]

Masterpiece

[@chopchoy1322]

Spread tha word to your generation.

[@kptecx-xs2dw]

You think this is something….. Mos Def: Black on both sides Reflection Eternal (Talib Kweli/Hi Tek): Teain of thought. 99-01 was a Golden Zenith in Hip Hop

[@newjack1982]

You doing Black Star!!!!!💪🏽💯

[@ibn_pengel8289]

No album probably altered my outlook on life more than this album. Changed my life at 16

[@damonjones1291]

"Napoleon Dynamite", Most Def 🔥

[@TheLieKillaJr]

You got to do Aaliyah first album Age Ain’t Nothing But Nothing A Number written and produced by R. Kelly except At Your Best which is a Isley Brother sample. It’s a get mix of R&B, Hip hop, Jazzy feel with a gospel texture and soul all in one perfect album

[@cheftekniqakabuletteborn8127]

one of the best albums ever

[@mrcontradiction494]

Hopefully you listen to Respiration on the album because Kweli has a longer verse on the album that wasn't on the video

[@KamilWalton]

i love when this generation discovers real hiphop. Go listen and review Dead Prez, "Let's get Free"

[@walking_on_MARZ]

Please react to Talib Kweli Get By. You won’t be disappointed. He sets it off wit “We sell crack to our own in front of our homes. We go through episodes too like Attack of the Clones. Just to get by” 🔥🔥🔥 track. It’s on the Quality album which is dope all the way through. Keep up the reactions money. They’re taking me back. Real hip hop taking no shorts.

[@chrisbright2088]

It’s funny that theives in the night Mos Def wasn’t feeling it when Talib first came up with it

[@KNichelle]

This is 🔥✊🏾♥️🖤💚

[@mr.nihilz3283]

Mos top 3 goat convo. Period.

[@yazeedyairbey]

Reflection Eternal- Just Begun...Yasiin loses his mind on there as well.

[@jonathanh5929]

Back in the late 90s and then eqrly 2000s id just walk to and from school. On the bus. Listening to these 2. Educating you. I loved it. So much truth on this album and kater ones.

[@dustieclipz2996]

Dr Dre - The Chronic album reaction. Snoop Dogg - Doggystyle.

[@MsJgre]

This is what Kendrick is talking about…Yasiin and Kweli are MCs of the highest caliber and are not pop. They are Hip Hop disciples who studied the foundation.

[@quinterriemccellon1650]

Check out Pharoahe Monch-Desire

[@jessevasquez7917]

You should review the album doom by mood production by hi-tek and features with talib kweli

[@ericbatterson7720]

Aesop Rock "The Impossible Kid"

[@ericbatterson7720]

You need to check out "children's story" by Slick Rick

[@alexkoch7521]

Not sure if anyone else so sorry if I sound redundant. Children’s story is based on Slick Rick’s “Children Story” except Mos switches the subject matter within the construct of that original song it’s like triple brilliant

[@chrisbright2088]

Check out Talib Kwele song from lyricist lounge album called manifesto

[@ericbatterson7720]

Wait until you get to the Soundbombing 2 albumn

[@vincentwilliams71]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@mattjohn4731]

Brown-skinned women are great. I plan to vote for one, Claudia De La Cruz for president. But I also respect Dr Cornel West for pres. Peace to all ✌️🕊️🌍
