In keeping with the music theme, I surfed on over to OkayPlayer to get the scoop on last night's Roots concert at Radio City music hall. While there I heard a couple of new Talib Kweli tracks called "Listen" & a really dope jawn called, "New York Shit" Ft. Jean Grae. Both songs are very summertime fresh.
Although I love Kweli ("2000 Seasons" is my all time favorite), I long for the day of Black Star. I heard Kwa & Mos are supposed to team up real soon for a follow-up to 1998's "Mos Def and Talib Kweli Are Black Star." Let's pray y'all, so we can make it happen.
What are y'all feeling right now?
Yesterday I asked about the throwback joints, today I'm talking current music. And remember kids, sharing is caring.

i am so not with the times. if ur talking about what is coming on the radio, then i don't know a thing. i find myself thoroughly disgusted by the filth spewing from the radio. i know there is good music out there, i just have been out of it lately and so my current music knowledge has evaporated. i would be interested in seeing further commentary, so that once again i can start adding to my diverse collection.
pear,
i'm not really speaking about the radio either. i'm talking about sharing GOOD music, so we can all bulk up our playlists.
i can't tell u the last time i heard Kweli on the radio.
Yes! I would love to see Black Star back on the mic. That's one of my favorite Hip-Hop cd's! As for now, I can't think of anyone that I'm really feeling at the moment. I was listening to my brother's cd today. Check out his music on My Space: www.myspace.com/thomasbessjr
At the moment Amel Larrieux's new album "Morning" is on loop in my car.
jreal: i'm into lots of different types of music. i've been hearing a lot about Liz Wright, but haven't really checked her. i rarely buy CDs anymore unless it's somebody i REALLY want. heard some new Bilal joints over at his my space page.
black girl: i've always loved Amel. i wished Grove Theory would have done more albums.
Yes, Liz Wright is a Georgia girl. I know her roomate down in Atlanta. My brother tells me that she is the truth when she performs Live and that she is a really cool person.
Jreal: how in THE hell did you ever compare Bilal to bootlet eric benet???
ick!
(but i'll let you slide cuz you cool people *smile*)
