Watch video - Reflection Eternal featuring Estelle "Midnight Hour" (off of Revolutions Per Minute):
The album's title has a double meaning, the obvious one being the number of times a record can go around on a record player. The other has a meatier objective.
"It's the idea of revolution through music," Talib Kweli explains. "It's the idea that people in today's culture take things in YouTube-sized bites and clips and if it's not in a clip or a soundbite or something that you can fit in under a minute, people don't pay attention to it. The idea is: How many revolutions can you get accomplished in under a minute in a quick culture?"
