...MOS DEF & TALIB KWELI...
...Mos Def & Talib Kweli are Black Star dropped, and the praise continues. One of my boys wrote me an e-mail message from upstate Massachussetts specifically to confess his amazement: "Yo this LP is ridiculous. Every track is plain dope. The beats are phat, the lyrics are intelligent, and yet it still has the feel of a demo." To this day I wonder how he managed to italicize using Pine...
...peep another comment from a friend of mine from Philly: "Mos Def and Kweli are my boys. Ever since I heard `Fortified Live' [that magnum opus from '96 that gave birth to the duo], Mos's singles and especially Kweli's `Manifesto' I knew that when they made an album it would blow the f-- up."

True indeed, oddly enough; and Black Star's is no exception. But this time I agree, five mics were not due. One of my roommates made one reason clear: "Why Mos Def gotta sing so much?" The revamped 1-2-3 hook in "RE:Definition" tries to be too Sinatra--just as annoying as his uh-uh-uh's in "Hater Players"--"plus," I always add, "the beat sounds Casio." "Yo I don't know about this `Children's Story' remake," I heard someone else complain; "he didn't do jack with it." "And what about his monotone formats...
Grove and two colleagues he discovered in the company cafeteria--Bruce Deal and Edward Snow--then set out to make silicon usable. After months of work, they discovered that most of the MOS instability was traceable to an impurity--sodium--introduced when the chips were cured. Like a drop of lemon juice added to a cup of milk, sodium soured the precious semiconductors. The discovery solved a fundamental problem in materials science and set the stage for the semiconductor revolution. Grove and his team won one of the industry's most prestigious awards for the work.
