“Love Language,” Train of Thought, Reflection Eternal (Talib Kweli and Hi-Tek) featuring Les Nubians (2000)
Talib Kweli enters this list again with the song, “Love Language.”
This time, he created another gem with the other duo he was a member of … Reflection Eternal. Kwa’s partner in RE was a producer named Hi Tek, out of Ohio, who in turn created magical music that fed his fierce lyricism. On “Love Language,” Hi Tek threw the keys and crazy drumbeat that was accentuated by the lovely vocals of the french Femme Fatales, Les Nubians.
“Word up, but love is brave, it flies in the face of fear.
Yo, wherever you want to go love’ll take you there.
Let’s go, you know a flower that grow in the ghetto,
Know more about survival than the one from fresh meadows.
It got love for the sun, that’s where I’m comin from,
Spit in this fashion cause I love rockin over drums.
Word (te quiero) I put my love into my music,
If you with me then you love how I do it.”
