The Forest Where Hope Died
his catalog is easily better than Mos. Black on Both sides is insanely dope but train of thought alone shyts all over Mos's career.

You're smoking crack if you think Train of thought is better than Black on both sides..only on the Internet..how is it better..Mos is eons ahead of talib with rapping..BOBs has better beats..there's reason why Mos is 1 and Talib is 2,, it's not a conspiracy

I disagree man BOBS is a dope album but Train of thought is just sick. I'd take TOT over BOBS by a slight edge. Talib is so slept on.

Whoa dere, little buddy. Train of Thought isn't even better than Black On Both Sides. Talib has had the better career, no doubt, but Mos has some good albums. Nothing in Talib's discog shyts on Black On Both Sides or The Ecstatic
I'd say Train of Thought and BOBS are pretty damn close. Nothing else that either has released has come close to those heights.

Man, there's a few hitters on this. Demonology with Gary Clark & Big KRIT. State of Grace's beat is something else. I don't know who Lord Quest is fukk that's heat rocks. Can't wait to fully absorb this.

Black On Both Sides is better than any Talib Kweli solo album.

But Talib's overall discography >>>>> Mos Def's.

Flaky hip hop fans should listen to every album in their discographies before commenting. Hating on GOOD albums like POC and Gutter Rainbows is ducktales

Jay Z shouting Talib out probably single-handledly saved his career.

I'll check this out but i'm always surprised by how this dude stays around
I highly disagree. That shout out was in 2003. Talib's albums/ music are what has kept him in the game. Seven albums and 12 mixtapes are what has kept him around. It may have put the bug into cats' ear that may have written him off/ never game him a chance. However, he's had his own following independent of that. If you're not listening to the work, I could see how you could make such an incorrect statement.

I disagree with the bolded and say that Quality goes toe to toe nicely with that album. Your last sentence describes many listeners who have nothing but air and preferential bias to back up their statements.
