About

A TAV Essential Listening Album.

“Quality is the debut studio album by American rapper Talib Kweli. The album was released on November 19, 2002, by Rawkus Records. It received wide critical acclaim and had some commercial appeal from the song "Get By", produced by Kanye West.” - Wiki

“Universal Music will continue its "Respect the Classics" tribute to many of hip-hop's finest with the vinyl reissue of rap icon Talib Kweli's historic Rawkus Records catalog: Quality, The Beautiful Struggle, Reflection Eternal and the underground classic, Mos Def & Talib Kweli are Black Star, in a limited edition two-tone black on black picture disc.

Quality, originally released in 2002, has not been available in vinyl since 2006, and includes the singles, the Kanye West-produced "Get By" and "Waiting for the DJ". The Beautiful Struggle, which came out in 2004, has been out of print on vinyl since 2006, and includes the singles "I Try" (featuring MJB) and "Never Been in Love". Train of Thought, released in 2000, produced the singles "The Blast" and "Love Language", and hasn't been available on vinyl since 2003.” - Respect The Classics

“Natural, in-depth, startling, focused, tangible and creative. These are just some of the words that describe the Talib Kweli Greene experience. Quality is a mixture of beats and rhymes that exemplify where Hip-Hop is today. Talib Kweli, one half of Back Star and one half of Reflection Eternal has finally embarked on, a much needed for the industry, solo career. The outcome is Quality over quantity.” - HipHopDX
