SUMMARY:Talib Kweli
DESCRIPTION:f skills sold, Talib Kweli would have been one of the most
  commercially successful rappers of his time. As it was, however, the 
 earnest MC became one of the most critically successful rappers of his
  time, which dawned in the late '90s when he rapped alongside Mos Def 
 and DJ Hi-Tek as part of the group Black Star. This trio of up-and-com
 ers and their widely acclaimed self-titled 1998 album debut, Black Sta
 r, helped make Rawkus Records one of the premier underground rap outpo
 sts of the late '90s. Kweli and Hi-Tek then collaborated as a duo on R
 eflection Eternal (2000), which firmly established them apart from Mos
  Def, who had gone solo. For a moment there, Kweli and his Rawkus asso
 ciates seemed like a full-fledged movement -- a return to the sort of 
 hip-hop associated with the so-called golden age. However, it wasn't t
 o be. Rawkus somehow lost its momentum, and its roster sadly dispersed
 , leaving Kweli on his own to carry the torch. He continued his output
 , beginning with a proper solo debut, Quality (2002), and though he di
 dn't rack up towering sales numbers, he remained a critical favorite. 
 In fact, he was one of the most admired and respected rappers on the m
 ajor-label circuit during the mid-2000s, best evidenced by Jay-Z's fam
 ous Black Album rhyme: \"If skills sold, truth be told/I'd probably be
 , lyrically, Talib Kweli.\"\n\nFor more information visit https://true
