Recording information: 04/23/1999. HIP HOP FOR RESPECT is the result of a mix of social unrest with the best emcees from both the hip-hop mainstream and its underground. Blackstar's Mos Def and Talib Kweli called upon their musical brothers and sisters in response to the killing of unarmed African immigrant Amadou Diallo at the hands of New York City cops. The resulting EP brings together hip-hop's elite to express their feelings in a welcome departure from the senseless sex and violence that diluted hip-hop's potency during the '90s. "Tree Never Grown," the EP's most heartfelt track, features Mos Def flexing his own singing skills on the chorus, while a collection of little known emcees, including Invincible and Wordsworth, carve a name for themselves. "One For Love," produced by Atlanta's in-demand Organized Noize unit, features fiery performances from Common, Kool G Rap and De La Soul's Posdnous, among others. "Protective Custody" brings underground favorites, including Company Flow, into the debate, creating an impressive track that'll leave you wanting more. HIP HOP FOR RESPECT is important not only for its successful unification of hip-hop's finest artists, but because it holds hope for the genre as it enters a new millennium.
