The intro is used as their mission statement: to educate and inform the masses, giving the listeners an idea of what they’re about to learn from the guidance of the Black Star’s Mighty Mos Def and Talib Kweli.
[Vocal sample from male announcer]
We feel that we have a responsibility to... shine the light... into the darkness. You know there's a lot of darkness out here. We watch it all the time. I'm busy lookin' at the darkness sayin' "Damn, there's some darkness over there." Whatever. And we have a responsibility to focus on it. You know, ya'll be kool. We know that we know how to make some music and that music ain't supposed to stand still...
[Talib Kweli]
It's like that. Mos Def and Kweli. (Black Star... guide me... Black Star... Black Star)
It's like that. Mos Def and Kweli. (Black Star)
[Mos Def]
We know where the real life documentarians are. Who? Of course the mighty Mos Def is a real life documentarian. Talib Kweli... real life documentarian
[Vocal sample from male announcer]
