IMHO, the beats on the Mos/Kweli 12" are on a much darker/more 'hardcore'
tip than 'fortified live', which lyrically was excellent, but was kinda
overly funky/upbeat. I like the blackstar much better, 'definition' is just
a sweet track all around excellent. the b-side is a 'twice inna lifetime',
which is actually a remix of 'fortified...', minus Mr. Mann and +Jane Doe,
Punch & Words (the Jane Doe verse is pretty weak in comparision to the
others, and both Punchline and Wordsworth come off strong, as opposed to on
Lyricists Lounge, were one of them [punch? i'm not sure who's who] sounded
mad wack.). Actually, i also think the Mos & Kweli verses are new also (it
basically retians the hook from the original). But at this point, don't get
the 12" unless you want the insturmentals, as the LP comes out tuesday and
has both tracks.
Track listing:
Intro / 8th Light / Definition / Redefinition / Children's Story / Brown
Skin Lady /B Boys will B Boys / Knowledge Of Self / Hater Players / Yo Yeah
/ Respiration /Thieves in the Night / Twice Inna Lifetime
