End of the 90’s masterpiece Hip Hop album. If you’ve never heard this and are a fan of perfectly crafted lyrics, masterfully spit and killer beats… Oh yeah songs with meaning. Check this out!

Easily one of the greatest hip hop albums I have ever heard in my life an absolute masterpiece and I don't say that lightly top 10 in my opinion the production is damn near flawless.

Black Star, which consists of emcees Mos Def and Talib Kweli, is a very important hip-hop team up that took place in the late 90's. Classics such as "Definition", "Respiration", and "Theives In the Night" still give me chills! This is REAL hip-hop at its FINEST.
