"Classic. True Hip Hop. Best Hip Hop album of all the time. I liked every track. Talib Kweli is one of the best lyricists of all time and Mos Def has one of the tightest flows I've seen. "Thieves In The Night" is my favorite song of all time. "Respiration" (feat. Common) & "Twice Inna Lifetime" (feat. Jane Doe, Wordsworth & Punchline) are the best collaborations in Hip Hop history. "Hater Players" is pretty funny. Get this album, it has everything, it owns all of Hip Hop. Underground Rap owns all. Also try getting Talib Kweli's "The Beautiful Struggle" & Mos Def's "The New Danger", tight albums. And, look for Wordsworth's "Mirror Music"; he came on tight on "Twice Inna Lifetime"."

One of the best hip hop albums ever

"Mos Def is great, and this album also captures Kweli at his finest (he has declined recently but on here: fire). Really, every song bangs, the styles vary greatly and the execution is flawless throughout. Also, if you can find the version with liner notes, grab it because it's rare"
