Three8ight6ixJun 11, 2004Kweli's sophmore solo LP kills the competition with an entertaining lesson in rhyme, but still doesn't compare to his duo albums. Maybe he and Kanye could crank out a release for the summer together

ChronwellMay 26, 2004This album is so cold. Beats by Kanye and Jay Dee with no Hi Tek give it a glossier sound but its still hard like a criminal check out the highlights Gun Music, Get By, and Good To You.

stevejMar 19, 2007kweli is a champion of true hip hop, many try all fail to emulate his signature rhymes which deal with everything from politics to love. Quality, word to your mother.

RishiIMar 24, 2004This album is extremely potent. It manages to deliver good production by Kanye, DJ Quick..etc and thought provoking lyrics. One of the top albums of the year.

Jan 25, 2014Talib Kweli is an excellent rapper! Here, he even tries to go mainstream with Get By and comes out with a solid result. The only things are that the production is not ideal and even though I love his flow, it gets out of hand sometimes. In my opinion, he is a top 5 lyricist ever to pick up a mic.

He manages a harder edge without completely sacrificing credibility.

SpinKweli wins by spitting knotty verbiage over high-test beats. [Feb 2003, p.99]

Quality is proof that intelligent hip-hop need not lack excitement, soul, or genuine emotion; it's one of the best rap albums of a year with no shortage of winners.
