I had this classic record in my head all day, so I figured I'd post it up. "Respiration" is one of those songs that always take me back every time I hear it. Great penmanship from Mos Def, Talib Kweli and Common over one of Hi-Tek's best productions. I still wonder why they cut Talib's verse short on the video version, but I guess they aimed to keep it under five minutes. But anyway, even a soul-less deaf virgin can agree this is some classic hip hop!
