Streams Of Thought, Vol. 2
''Streams of Thought, Vol. 2'' (also known as ''Streams of Thought, Vol. 2: Traxploitation'') is the second extended play by American emcee Black Thought.

Produced entirely by Salaam Remi, the EP is the sequel to '' Streams of Thought, Vol. 1'', released five months earlier. Critical reception ''Streams of Thought, Vol. 2'' was met with positive reviews. Writing for ''HipHopDX'' in December 2018, Riley Wallace praised Remi's production, calling it "reminiscent of classic Motown sessions", and concluded, "Though Salaam does little to push Black Thought outside of his comfort zone, it does little to distract from how solid this project is, and the lyrical depth and complexity of all nine tracks." In his Substack-published "Consumer Guide" column, Robert Christgau applauded the rapper for showing "how conscious a romantic lead's conscience can be" and wrote in summary that, "n ...

Streams Of Thought, Vol
A stream is a continuous body of surface water flowing within the bed and banks of a channel. Depending on its location or certain characteristics, a stream may be referred to by a variety of local or regional names. Long large streams are usually called rivers, while smaller, less voluminous and more intermittent streams are known as streamlets, brooks or creeks. The flow of a stream is controlled by three inputs – surface runoff (from precipitation or meltwater), daylighted subterranean water, and surfaced groundwater (spring water). The surface and subterranean water are highly variable between periods of rainfall. Groundwater, on the other hand, has a relatively constant input and is controlled more by long-term patterns of precipitation. The stream encompasses surface, subsurface and groundwater fluxes that respond to geological, geomorphological, hydrological and biotic controls. Streams are important as conduits in the water cycle, instruments in groundwater rech ...
