Mick Boogie and Talib Kweli- The MCEO Mixtape

yes! Finally Some new Kweli people! I had been anticipating some more new stuff from him now that he has this whole Blacksmith Records movement in full swing. So in true Kweli fashion he has linked up with one of the more respectabe DJ's out there right now in Mick Boogie and brings along Strong Arm Steady and super female MC Jean Grae. I guess it's a little wierd that he chose a DJ from Cleveland to drop his tape, but whatever, I guess Clue and Kay Slay are busy doin....uh...well...sucking. At any rate this tape is well worth the time, it's all basically exclusive, there isn't too much on here that's being reused and that's always a plus. The tape has a few interesting guest spots, namely that of a newcomers Idle Warship, who I believe are also Blacksmith Records artists and the great Cornel West. Pay attention to the interlude that Mr. West is featured on kids, he kicks nuthin but pure knowledge. Jean Grae is featured on a good portion of the tape and as many would expect dazzles with her lyricism. The only mis-step she suffers on this tape is the utterly wack remix of a Ne-Yo song she does toward the end of the tape...ehhh, fuc, don't know why she tried doin that, but the rest is pretty ill, she gets down on this one man, joints like "Think About It", "Love Thirst" and "The Number 8" all will resonate with ya, and you'll wanna bump em' more than once. Talib has a pretty decent outing this go round' as well. Not only does he wreck shop on a lot of new joints with SAS and Grae. One of the iller cuts he drops on us is the "Hostile Gospel" Remix that features the sultry latina duo Nina Sky, L.A. based rhyme architect Blu and the latest Pun Protege and Aftermath reject Joell Ortiz. They all really meshed on the remix and Kweli once again shows that his pull within the underground is still intact. Good tape rite here, I for one hope that more heads start checkin for Blacksmith records man, they really have a lot great talent in the stable and their boss/leader is a real down to earth legend!
