Eardrum
Date undefinedI have been a fan of talib kweli since the days of liberation and blackstar. He brings in a unique style to hip-hop that never fails to offer something fresh each album. Eardrum had great instrumentals to compliment his cleverness and flow that creates a good piece of work. If your one who likes to hear a lot of club type music or something to play at a party, this may not be what your looking for. This is a great wonderful masterpiece that displays what rap music is supposed to sound like. Lyrically clever with a good flow.

Date undefinedThis was a great album. A lot of people slept on this album but this is by far his strongest effort since "Reflection Eternal". Kweli has been plagued with mediocre production on his previous albums although his is definitely one of the greatest lyricists of today. This album has it all. Very well rounded. Dope beats, dope lyrics. What more can you ask for?
La, La, Laaaa, La, La, La, La, La, La, Laaaaaaa.

Date undefinedIn my opinion, thi is the only album of 2007 that is better than The Cool. And that says a lot. "Eardrum" feels very slow, chill, and soulful in the beginning, picks up in the middle, and finishes very up-tempo and furious. Honestly, the soulful beginning is the best part, but that's not knocking the rest of the album by any means.
Kweli shows why he needs more recognition from the mainstream with epics like "Hostile Gospel Pt. 1 (Deliver Us)" and "Listen" and touches hearts of hip-hop heads with old-school influenced tracks like "Everything Man" and "NY Weather Report." Kweli touches on Poverty in "Eat To Live" and religious confusion in "Give Em Hell." Kweli speaks from his sensual side with "In The Mood" and "Hot Thing" and speaks to his children in "Oh My Stars." The only track that felt like it was not on par with the rest of the album was "Say Something."
