DJ Clinton Sparks goes out and picks up the rights to Talib Kweli’s Eardrum leadoff mixtape with the latest in his Get Familiar series. The Brooklynite MC makes a solid statement as on several of this street album’s offerings. He utilizes Pharell’s mesmerizing “Bobby James” and builds a strong case against modern rappers over MIMS’ “This Is Why I’m Hot” renaming the track “Niggas Lie Alot”. Throughout Get Familiar Talib speaks with a firm and concerned tone about the non-substance floating around in hip hop these days. Of course the best is preserved for last as late producer extraordinaire Dilla’s legacy is given another few minutes in the limelight on “Kweli Says”.
