Talib Kweli & DJ Hi-Tek's Reflection Eternal (2002) did more for me than any hip-hop album ever has. I had just moved to new surroundings at 18 years old and didn't know but more than 2 people in the city of sin. For a moment there, in my mind, it was surreal. All I had was a bunch of new scenery & people to meet, a 89' Civic with really loud speakers and this album to rock. It ended up being kind of like my own soundtrack. I remember burning just endless amounts and handing them out to anyone who was open to new hip hop.Nonetheless, it still to this day goes down as my favorite hip-hop album of all time (Of course Blu's Below The Heavens is a very close second, if not 1A & 1B).. Here are some respective tracks off of it.
*Reflection Eternal- Memories Live
*Reflection Eternal- Good Mourning
*Reflection Eternal- Too Late
