Comment: I usually listen only to politically conscious rap, and this is one of my favorites. I first heard Mos Def and Kweli when I saw the Spike Lee's movie, Bamboolzed.

blackstar (mos def & talib kwali) are great hiphop artists, both of them have great individual albums and "blackstar" their duo album is a classic

Even though it's the first track on Black Star I think it's the best.
The album definitely paved the way for Mos' career and Black On Both Sides; and although not as musically sophisticated it is a blinder of an opening track to any album.
