Reflection Eternal on Sound Session
Posted in Artists, Interviews, Sound Session on June 8th, 2010 by HyphenAs I mentioned in the post with just the audio, Talib Kweli and Hi-Tek came through Sound Session two weeks ago to talk all about their new album. Here’s the entire in-depth interview with these two legendary hip-hop figures, and more importantly, just two all around good dudes. Support them by copping Revolutions Per Minute and for the youngins who never bought Train of Thought, you better get that too!
Part 1: “RPM’s,” “City Playgrounds,” and “Back Again.”
Part 2: Affion Crockett/Russell Simmons skits, being considered “conscious,” the marketing of “neo soul,” “Strangers” featuring Bun B, “In This World,” sampling Jay-Z’s classic lyric, “Got Work,” and more.
(Part Three in HD on HyphenTV)
Part 3: “Midnight Hour” featuring Estelle, “Lifting Off,” the war on drugs, “In The Red,” and more.
Part 4: “Ballad Of The Black Gold,” energy consumption, live instrumentation vs. samples, “Just Begun” with Jay Electronica, J. Cole, and Mos Def, and more.
Part 5: “Long Hot Summer,” working as a group, “Get Loose” with Chester French, “So Good” and the return of MC Hi-Tek, the absence of Dion on the album, and more.
Part 6: “Ends” featuring Bilal, the pursuit of money, music piracy, the autobiographical outro of “My Life,” the future of Reflection Eternal, and more.
Enjoy!
