Reflection Eternal (Talib Kweli & Hi-Tek) – Back Again.

(image source)

People talk up Talib Kweli as one of hip-hop’s best lyricists, but his wordplay on this track ranges from great,

Nighttime when the ghetto come alive
and the artificial die like yellow number five

to primitive,

From New York to California
The way we do it, it’s fluid just like water

Yeesh. Hi-Tek’s production remains on point though, so I’m somewhat optimistic about the album. Revolutions Per Min comes out this summer.
