i got this shiit and its bangin, its not your g shit but still some dope shit

Siberian_Wolf:
None of yall motherfuckers really knows that Reflectional Eternal is the name o da GROUP, and the ALBUM name is Train Of Thought.

If you still doubt about this album, quit that. Not buying Train of Thought this year is like not buying The Score in 1996 or Illmatic in 1994. It's some melodic, multi-instrumental, symphonical shit. And Talib Kweli is never soft, always battling on the mic, with a nice furious skill of dropping a shitload of words in one line. This is some perfect hip hop, and most of today's MCs need to learn from these two young men.

"Train of Thought" was supposed to be the official title of the album (with the first promo flyers we were gettin' here in NY) but it didn't really work out 'cause most people knew Reflection Eternal better. So THAT became the album: Talib Kweli & Hi Tek - "Reflection Eternal (Train Of Thought)". Now, the real matter is, this is indeed one of the most slept on albums to ever drop. It's a CLASSIC joint, fo'real, a perfect release, groundbreaking, innovative, with sick ass bangin' beats and the lyrical expertise of Talib Kweli. Plus it has just the right amount of guests appearances and the necessary mixture of fast and slow paced tracks. A true gem. Should have been at least GOLD (but really deserved to blow like "The Score" in 1996). Hi Tek will be huge though (his solo mission is SERIOUS) and I'll think they'll do it again eventually... One of my favorite rap album of all time...

I think yall are hypin' this one up a little to much. Don't get me wrong, it's a great album, but I wouldn't call it a classic. 4-4.5 mics
