No Stars, Just Talent is a compilation album by the Seal Beach, California record label Kung Fu Records, released in 1999. It was the label's first sampler compilation and featured artists signed to the label at the time, as well as others such as blink-182 who were not signed to the label but had released a single album through them. It was followed by The "Gone With the Wind" of Punk Rock Samplers the following year, after which the label switched to the series name Punk Rock is Your Friend for its future compilations.
