On The Library, Tim talks to veteran author and Hip Hop Historian Brian Coleman about his new book “Check the Technique: Vol 2: More Liner Notes For Hip-Hop Junkies." During the interview Tim asked Brian for the story behind Mos Def and Talib Kweli Are Black Star album. "Black Star was never a group," Coleman explained. "It was intended to be a one off album. It was never intended to be a long term thing...Talib Kweli's main goal was to do a Reflection Enternal album and the Black Star album was kind of a means to an end...Mos Def, Yasin Bey, looked at that album like a jazz session from the 50s..."
