I cant! 💔💔💔 Diane Keaton was such a talent and a BIG part of my career. She directed two videos of mine - "Heaven Is A Place on Earth" and the video for "I Get Weak."
She was kind and eccentric and I was blessed to know her. This is such a big loss. 💔💔💔 RIP Diane, you will be missed.

One of the best hip hop albums of the ‘00s, and possibly the best album that Kweli and Hi-Tek were involved with. Still holds up today.

Reflection Eternal’s Debut Album ‘Train of Thought’ Turns 25 | Album Anniversary

Even considering all of the duo’s subsequent solo work and other past/future collaborations, ‘Train of Thought’ is arguably the finest album that Kweli and Hi-Tek have been involved with to date.

DANGERDOOM’s ‘The Mouse And The Mask’ Turns 20 | Album Anniversary

The album isn’t ranked amongst the top tier of Danger Mouse and MF DOOM’s respective discographies, but it is still fun and irreverent in ways that few hip-hop albums ever bother to attempt.
