With Garvey's project providing some of the inspiration for their nom de plume, Black Star (Mos Def and Talib Kweli) are setting out tomake hip-hop "with confidence and faith in self," but instead of revisiting a fl-nationalist past, the two create a contemporary re-vision of the fl art-fl power aesthetic traditions.
Black Star, gets its inspiration from any number of sources -- in their poetic lyricism lurks the soul of Langston Hughes, their passionate delivery recalls the barbed beauty of Amiri Baraka, and from Chinua Achebe they inherit a literary gift for painting panoramic imagery with words.
Whether speaking on the multiple meanings of flness ("8th Light"), city life/strife ("Respiration"), or moral direction ("KOS Determination," "Thieves in the Night"), Def and Kweli are articulate and provocative, a stark contrast to a rap music era of lowest-common-denominator themes and issues.
