Mama Can You Hear Me

You know what I dream about? A Kanye West/Talib Kweli collab album. . . this track is old, but it's unreleased, so a lot of you MAY not have heard it yet. . . it's definitely incredible.



Barry Manilow - Sweet Life




Talib Kweli - Mama Can You Hear Me (Produced by Kanye West)

Never Been In Love Before

The Imaginations were formed in upstate New York in the 1960s. Although they got their start as background singers, The Imaginations secured several hits throughout their career, such as "Guardian Angel" and "Hey You".



The Imaginations - Because I Love You



Talib Kweli - Never Been In Love

Don Randi & Blackstar

Don Randi was a member of the legendary "Wrecking Crew". (a group of top Los Angeles session musicians in the 1960s best known for their work on Phil Spector productions, and The Beach Boys "Pet Sounds" album.) I love this Black Star album, too. . . when Def and Kweli getting back together for another album!?


Don Randi - The Fox



Black Star - Respiration

Will I Run To The Rock?

Oh sinnerman, where ya gon' run to?


Nina Simone - Sinnerman**




Talib Kweli - Get By

**a few other people have used Nina Simone's version (like Timbaland for "Oh Timbaland" off Shock Value), but I like Kanye's production on this Talib.
