The year 1998 was a very good year for American Hip Hop. Among others who were beginning to have its impact as Common Sense in the city of Chicago emerged in New York City hip hop par excellence and history behind their backs with names like Mos Def and Talib Kweli who did return again that genuine sound City by forgetting a little Gansta Rap west side Notorious Big 2Pac or the head.
Blackstar is the fusion and union of these two great New York rappers who brought fresh sounds, fresh lyrics, and a bunch of buddies to get that for me has been one of the best rap albums that have occurred "Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are Black Star."
No links to official sites or at least I have not found, but if I leave a video for the song "Respiration" that came on this wonderful disc and in which part Common Sense (now Common only).
A Salute.
