"Get By" part two, December 30, 2004
This review is from: I Try (Audio CD)
"I Try", the first single off Talib Kweli's latest album, "The Beautiful Struggle" sounds like it could very well be the sequel to "Get By", Kweli's classic single from 2002. Both songs are produced by Kanye West, and he churns out a very similar piano-loop beat for "I Try" to the one he made for "Get By". Mary J. Blige's hook in "I Try" is a bit unnecessary, but Kweli's lyrics that brought him so much respect in the underground are helping him get noticed in the mainstream, and he kicks some nice rhymes on "I Try". Overall, a good single, but it could've been more different from "Get By", Kanye's beat does no justice for "I Try".
