FIRE!! I hope that a lot of you are really listening to the lyrics because he's talking some real shit!!!!! Some of y'all might learn a little something!! I love it!!
Talib Kweli is truly the realest. This dude keeps it deep hundred in every one of his tracks. Talib is the man even til this day. A true rap guru indeed.
This song makes me cry, cuz of how beautiful it is but also because it makes you realize every problem we American people face is deeply complex and has no clear answer and is going to take a while to solve. I'm shook
This year of 2020, we lost another innocent African american from police brutality. And we are still fighting and we wont stop until justice is served. RIP G Floyd
What happen to real Hip Hop like this, when things derived from a higher sense of knowledge and conciousness of true revolution. That's why I only listen to people like this because that mainstream shit is bullshxt, real Hip Hop isn't about the bullshit we possess and the figures we get or the clothes we trend, giving everybody false perceptions on a ideal life they can't reach. I rather enjoy the lyrics of truth rather then then the lack of effort the mainstream people put out. Who agrees ?
RU-vid IOTOS if you fux wit dat real hip hop. Jammed Up, Undastand, and 4th and Inches by IOTOS are 3 of the craziest tracks I have ever HEARRRDD!!!!!!!
While it may be of little financial comfort to Talib, is music will still be relevant 100 years from now. A synopsis of the conditions of the realities of inner city life (globally) at the start of the 21st century.
listening to guys like talib, mos def, nas, teach me alot about life. Hustle, think for yourself, get yours dont worry about other cats that stand in your way.
damn this is intelligent, story telling hip hop. just how it should be! what ever happenend to this beautiful poet writing? Talib kweli -> best mc, dont care if he is off-beat sometimes!
"The president is a Bush, The vice president is a Dick so a lot of fucking is what we gon' get!" haha This is one of the best hp hop songs i've ever heard
Real talk right here man we need to be today and not let no one to bring us down and today we are killing our own people come on guys wake up we need to be strong and fight for ourself and coming together as one
remember when you could watch a video without having to sit through a commercial? Remember when music videos were uploaded by users and not VEVO Remember when all the info was to the right of the video? Remember you could rate a video 1-5 stars? Remember the famous yellow subscribe button? Remember when the users controlled the site and now corporations? WE MISS THE OLD RU-vid! Post this in every video and lets start a youtube revolution!
almost 1 year im listening this song every day, twice at least, and that shows how strong text it has. i cant remember a song that i have listen to more than a couple of weeks every day.
Finally, rap music that actually means something. Don't listen to all the mainstream crap, none of it even makes sense. This stuff is a memory of when you made music for emotion or to convey a message, instead of just for fame.
Jonny, I don't know if I can comment on Talibs best song but I think the difference between hip hop and rap is that Rap is about having fun, partying, and showing off what you have. Hip hop more often speaks to to us about social issues and makes social commentary. It tries to enlighten us and open our eyes to the world around us. Thats how it was when I was a kid in the 80's, at least.
