VH1.com : Talib Kweli : Biography Kweli impressed Hi-Tek during their time together, and the DJ invited the MC to guest on several tracks for Mood's 1997 album, Doom. It was also Kweli's most self-conscious to date, however, as it was well apparent that the commercial pressures had begun to affect his mindset, for better or worse. In 2000, Kweli and Hi-Tek then followed up this wide-ranging critical notice with a second acclaimed release for Rawkus: their Reflection Eternal album, which firmly established them apart from Mos Def, who enjoyed plenty of his own acclaim. www.vh1.com /artists/az/kweli_talib/bio.jhtml   (842 words)

Bumbershoot - Talib Kweli Together with Mos Def and DJ Hi-Tek, Talib Kweli was a flagship artist for the short-lived, but highly respected Rawkus label. A founder of the acclaimed group Black Star, along with rapper-turned-actor Mos Def, Talib Kweli is one the most widely respected artists in hip-hop. Kweli's influence was solidified when he was given a shout-out by Jay-Z on Black Album, which said: "If skills sold, truth be told / I'd probably be, lyrically, Talib Kweli." bumbershoot.org /lineup/artist/talib-kweli   (344 words)

Music Talib Kweli On his first proper solo album (sans collaborators Mos Def or Hi-Tek), rapper Talib Kweli makes music that is socially aware and socially acceptable, too. Kweli’s smart enough as a rapper not to tangle in politics simply for politics’ sake, and that’s one reason he’s so compelling an MC — he knows that to make his fight your fight, he has to make you listen first. Matched with the energy of producer Kanye West, Kweli’s passion bursts through like bubbles in soda pop as he lists a litany of violations: drugs, alcohol, fashion. www.bostonphoenix.com /boston/music/otr/documents/02623755.htm   (208 words)

The Selekta Interviews - Talib Kweli's Train of Thought Kweli and Mos Def came to be known as Black Star and put out their classic socio-concious debut in 1998 - thrusting Kweli even further into the public eye. Kweli just hopes that, "People can be inspired the way I've been inspired by music." The music this young duo makes is as poetic as it is fist pumping. Carrying on the tradition of the early '90s Native Tongue movement, Kweli resides as the preacher of the church, while Hi-Tek conducts the orchestra. www.selekta.com /interviews/kweli.asp   (881 words)

Talib Kweli The son of two college professors (sociology and English), Talib Kweli displayed a talent for writing early in his life, but it was an ambition to join the Major Leagues as a professional baseball player that preoccupied his childhood. With the help of West and many of the other contributors to Quality, Talib Kweli completed his second solo album The Beautiful Struggle in 2004. The album Mos Def And Talib Kweli Are Black Star, featuring input from Hi-Tek and jazz multi-instrumentalist Weldon Irvine, had a significant impact on the underground hip-hop scene, and launched Kweli's professional career in earnest. www.nndb.com /people/171/000086910   (416 words)

Talib Kweli: Quality: Pitchfork Review When word hit that Talib Kweli had dropped longtime producer and Reflection Eternal bandmate DJ Hi-Tek for his upcoming release in favor of a more commercially viable roster of producers, you could almost hear a collective sigh rise up from the hip-hop community. While Talib's new beatmakers (which include Kayne West and DJ Quik) are amongst the hottest and most creatively viable in the game, the fear was that their slicker and generally more aggressive styles would somehow taint the honesty and intimacy that has been key to Talib's success. Although these qualities have been evident in all of Talib's work, the infusion of new blood (particularly that of Kayne West) accentuates and revitalizes the message. www.pitchforkmedia.com /record-reviews/k/kweli_talib/quality.shtml   (426 words)

Reflection Eternal: Train of Thought ---Ink Blot Magazine Determined to do nothing less than revive Afrocentrism, drop the perfect beat, summarize all their favorite records and save hip-hop in the process, Talib Kweli and DJ Hi-Tek have a lot of work to do. Talib in particular is consumed by the urgency of the task at hand. Kweli then collaborated with Mos Def on 1998's Black Star project, appearing live around the country on his own and with Mos, eventually returning to Reflection Eternal for 2000's Train of Thought. www.inkblotmagazine.com /rev-archive/Reflection_Eternal.htm   (417 words)

Amazon.com: Quality: Music: Talib Kweli Talib Kweli is definitely one of the best rappers alive today (alongside Eminem, OutKast and Mos Def), and although he's not my favorite, I can still recognize that this album is just amazing. Quality is technically Talib Kweli's first solo album, although his collaboration with DJ Hi-Tek, Reflection Eternal, was his real coming out party.

MetroActive Music Talib Kweli Extra Fortified: MC Talib Kweli and DJ Hi-Tek's new album, 'Reflection Eternal,' showcases their brand of thinking person's hip-hop.

Ink 19 :: Talib Kweli Talib Kweli is clearly one of the greatest rappers in the world -- he's proven that with Mos Def in Black Star, on his Reflection Eternal project with DJ Hi-Tek, and on countless guest spots on other people's records.

Talib Kweli: The Beautiful Struggle: Pitchfork Review Talib's greatest challenge as a 21st century emcee, then, will be to reconcile his spiny message with the eminence of commercial slickness. This duality has always been present in Kweli's catalog: His music embraces the binding value of truth as much as it documents his divergence from the methods traditionally used to uphold it. Here, behind cracking snares and wafting female intonations, Kweli lowers his political guard to wax lovely: "Jewel of the Nile so I'm romancing the stone/ The rhythm is in the words and I watched her dance to my poems." www.pitchforkmedia.com /record-reviews/k/kweli_talib/beautiful-struggle.shtml   (595 words)
