It might be too much heat in too many different direction.

I mean, I feel to this day, its cool to have a Kanye, a Just Blaze, Neptunes, and all that, but if the s**t dont match up, it might be too much heat. Mixing is part of making the record, too. A lot of producers you might get a Just Blaze or a Neptune beat some dudes, they get so busy, its hard to get them into the studio to really produce your record, let alone mix it. I think he needs that producer that will basically be there with him and give him his real constructive criticism, instead of letting Talib do Talib, which is making music. Truthfully, from me to Talib: Ill let him know that. People are listening for that same thing, and what that same thing was was a producer, one producer basically shaping a whole album, which took about two years to record. What was your initial reaction to Beautiful Struggle?ĭJ Hi-Tek: I mean, truthfully, I think when you first come out with a record like the Reflection Eternal record, which was a classic, I think its hard to top that.

Dres Detox and 50 Cents movie soundtrack, DJ Hi-Tek took some time out of his busy day in the Natti to speak with about, among other things, Talib Kwelis struggles on Beautiful Struggle, his thoughts on Dave Chappelles situation, and why he needed a box of tissues after Dres Detox invitation.Ī: Talib Kweli received very little critical love in 2004. Still hitting the Protools as hard as ever with future projects on Dr. While it could have been easy for the Hi-Tek to stay in bed with the Rawkus underground hip-hop movement and sleep comfortably with his critically-acclaimed Thought, he has recently branched his services out providing production efforts for the likes of Snoop Dogg, The Game, and most recently dishing two tracks out to 50 Cent. Easily put, Hi-Tek is to Cincinatti what Kanye West is to Chicago. Although Tek was largely responsible for Black Star, it is Train of Thought that remains a popular bid for the best album in the last five years. DJ Hi-Tek is too oft forgotten since his came into Hip-Hop attached to Talib Kweli as Reflection Eternal.
