Welcome to our second look at Reflection Eternal's 2000 album 'Train of Thought'.
Talib Kweli rides solo on Hi-Tek's beat for 'Memories Live', which features a sample of Ann Peeble's minimalistic hit single 'I Can't Stand the Rain' from her 1974 album of the same title as well as a sample from Soft Machine's 1974 album cut 'Carol Ann'. Les Nubians and Talib Kweli team up on 'Love Language', which samples Norman Connors' 'Welcome'. De La Soul assists Kweli and Hi-Tek on 'Soul Rebels' which has the four emcees rhyming over the Commodores' 'Patch it Up' from the 1977 album 'Commodores'. Finally, the B-Side track 'Good Mourning' samples Hugo Montenegro's unstoppably funky track 'Dizzy' from his synth filled 1969 album 'Moog Power'.
Both Talib Kweli and Hi-Tek managed to build on the success of 'Train of Thought': Kweli has made a series of solo albums and Hi-Tek has produced albums on his own as well as produced tracks for 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, and G-Unit among others. Later this year, the duo's second album 'Revolutions Per Minute' is set to be released.
