Directed by: Unknown
Definition is a standout track from Black Star’s influential 1998 album *Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are Black Star*. The song pays tribute to fallen legends 2Pac and The Notorious B.I.G., while delivering a strong anti-violence message inspired by KRS-One’s “Stop the Violence” campaign. Produced by Hi-Tek, the song’s infectious beat and back-and-forth lyrical exchanges between Mos Def and Talib Kweli set the tone for a new era of conscious hip hop. It remains a powerful anthem, showcasing Black Star’s commitment to lyrical excellence and social awareness.
