Talib Kweli & Hi-Tek on Black Star, Being Good

Posted in Media, Video with tags , , , on Friday, June 19, 2009 by Tim Althaus

Here is a great video interview with Hi-Tek & Talib Kweli. Pyramid West had the chance to catch up with Reflection after one of their recent shows. Kwe & Tek reflect on the original Black Star album and what the recording process was like for that album. It really surprises me that they only made those cuts for that album, they didn’t do any extra tracks at all (that’s fucking impressive). Kweli talks about what it takes to be a good emcee, and Hi-Tek talks about what he thinks it takes to be a good producer.

Slaughterhouse Throws it Back to “Woodstock”

slaughter-house Holy shit this track bangs on all cylinders. Joey was gracious enough to drop the first leak off of the album to the homie shake over at 2DopeBoyz. Royce Da 5’9″, Joell Ortiz, Crooked I & Joe Budden murder shit on this track and the beat is hard as hell. M.O.P. is a long for the ride as well to spit the hook. All of you out there better be ready for this album because it’s going to be ridiculous. This album will probably have the most wordplay out of anything that you will hear this year (mark my words). If you sleep on this album there is truly no hope for you at all. Slaughterhouse album drops on August 11th.

Quotable of the song: Crooked I, “It’s time for some change like Obama in a laundromat”.

Download: Slaughterhouse, “Woodstock” (Feat. M.O.P.)
