Ugh, so it appears that Mos Def and Talib Kweli have canceled the remainder of their tour dates as Black Star. While that is certainly bad news, they will make up for it tonight by performing new material on The Colbert Report . It's not only new, though, as apparently the track(s?) is produced by Madlib. Hmm, anyone else think they'll do that untitled cut we heard a snippet of earlier this year? If not, then that means they have other songs recorded with Madlib, which could very well lead to another Black [...]
Photo by Philip Cosores Amidst the news that Mos Def is retiring his stage name, and the on-again off-again status of their Mos Def and Talib Kweli Are Black Star tour (it is officially cancelled now), it's been a strange few weeks for fans of the hip hop super duo. It's around about the right time for a ray of good news to come in from the camp then, and what could be better than the news that Black Star has new material and we get to hear it tonight?! Well, the [...]

According to an issued press release, the duo's final seven performances have been scrapped, though there are plans to reschedule the New York and Los Angeles shows.

Check back to [...]

Wednesday October 12th, 2011 Guerilla Union & House of Blues Present: Black Star Mos Def & Talib Kweli Doors open : 7pm | $41 Advance Purchase | 18+ | BUY TICKETS HERE After the popular demand driven by their performance at Rock the Bells last month, Mos Def and Talib Kweli have united once again for a rare show at New York City's famed Irving Plaza .
Last Sunday, hip-hop legends Blackstar graced the stage of the Fillmore, Silver Spring's new powerhouse of a venue. It's been thirteen years since Mos Def and Talib Kweli released their 1998 seminal cult collaboration, Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are Black Star . Yet, even though the two have gone on to establish themselves as solo artists in their own rights, the house was packed to see the duo back in action. And lucky for the Fillmore's patrons that evening, Black Star played the album in its entirety. A sea of [...]
Black Star & Common performed live at the House of Blues in Chicago recently. They blew the roof off, to say the least.
Black Star's reunited, at least for the time being, and doing a small tour run that has them hitting House Of Blues locations around the country. During the Chicago stop, Mos Def and Talib bring out Common to perform their classic tune "Respiration." As an extra, FSD posted a quick video interview with Com earlier in the week where the Chi MC talks the new album, working with No I.D. again and hints at a possible project with Nas in the works. [...]
<!-- <!-- <!-- Talib Kweli and Mos Def bring out Common at the House Of Blues in Chicago.
Last night, Talib Kweli and Mos Def (as Black Star) played two sold out shows at Chicago's House of Blues. Mos and Kwe surprised the crowd when Lonnie Lynn emerged from backstage to join the duo for "Respiration" - something that probably hasn't been done in ten years. That's history. And oh yeah, if you missed our interview with Common, be sure to check it here .
Queen of Hearts , pra quem não se lembra, foi apresentada aqui no blog como sendo a "próxima grande popstar" aqui no blog tem um tempinho, e de Março pra cá, ela estava trabalhando na finalização do seu primeiro disco, que só sai ano que vem. Para ele, a britânica recrutou uma bela lista de produtores que compõe a vanguarda do electro-pop, tudo para ajudá-la a criar o perfeito som de estréia. A lista de nomes, que vai desde The Sound Of Arrows e Monarchy ao brilhante Stuart Price , não deixa dúvidas [...]
If you're a fan of Hip-Hop at all, you're more than likely familiar with Black Star , a legendary duo comprised of Mos Def and Talib Kweli. It's a shame the tag team only put out a single album, as their lyrical genius atop Hi-Tek 's production was a one-two punch that's second to none. Rumors have been floating around for years that a second album was in the works, but it's pretty unlikely. Wikipedia says a projected released date for Black Star 2 is 2012, but Wikipedia doesn't know anything. Anyway, [...]
Lets be honest, Queen of Hearts and the work-thereof doesn't really need much introduction, does it? Anyone familiar with this, or any other pop music blog, will know that when it comes to ladypop, it's impossible to get through a paragraph without dropping the phrase 'next big thing'. It's usually preceded by the words 'Goldfrapp', 'Kylie Minogue' or 'CHRIST can that girl knock back the beer'. We've heard various bits and pieces from Queen of Hearts over the past year or so and she is brilliant. Here is 'Black Star' from her forthcoming EP. It's brilliant [...]
