Ode to my younger years: Black Star

Okay everybody yall know I have to give background on this. When I say I absolutely love, I mean this album, it is an under statement. I was in high school when this album came out and honestly I think this was a turning point, it solidified my appreciation and love for music in general. This album was thought provoking, I learned from it, the beats, the lyrics. Can’t say enough…so without any further delay…

Mos Def and Talib Kweli are Black Star: DEFINITION!!

 

…What you thought I was done LOL, naw…this is a two for one post but I’m gonna continue with the black star theme. Here is the other half of Black Star, the mighty Mos aka Mos Def. Real quick though, I love this song, I love the fact he did this in Cuba(I can’t wait to visit that Island…lift the embargo!!) Just zone out to this joint, ‘I want my people to be free…for black people to free…’
