@RealDProductions I'm pretty sure you don't do anything on the mic better than Kweli. That's why you're commenting on HIS video, and not the other way around.
@PnoyJAsianPersuasion That is a rhetorical statement lol i love Roth & Cudi but you are 100% right but you gotta remember those two are diff rappers Kweli is the true essence like a Rubix Cube he's like Nas And Common
all you dudes hatin on the freestyle are the most unserious youtubers in history talking about "this is wack oh i expected better" ...it's off the top ! meaning making it up as it goes ...what did you expect ? a perfect non stuttering freestyle off top it's impossible Talib did a great freestyle
i like his writtens better...some ppl freestyle alot better off the head but cnt write for shit..n vice versa..n then some ppl can do both or one or the other but cnt make a song or can make a real good song but cnt freestyle off the head or written..lol wat i just said prbly doesnt make sence..oh well kinda hard to explain
kweli u know dam well that i know u cant freestyle u use the same dam lines from 07 in our cyphers...ur a pussy and flatbush knows it stay by parkslope where ur safe ....and please kweli come out the closet already and tell these dudes how u and forte had something special back then Smh!

Fuck this freestyle!!! Talib Kweli "Da Legend" is a big dissapointment!! He GARBAGE!! Fucken underground cats would kill this guy!! Fuck kids on my block would kill this guy!! Don't take away the guy can rip shit when he write, but man, just don't freestyle ever again, GARBAGE!!
I was about to say as a fan of dude that this beat wasn't shit to rhyme on, but there are some that would body this beat just because...I was a lil disappointed...
not true there are some people who can do that. look at em and lupe they both freestyle but still kweli is in my top 5 and is better than most at freestyling
@Beanieman54 you should hear some supernat or juice, thats as tight as freestyle get. talibs deep and he knows his shit, but hes not such a great freestyler
ALL OF YALL SUCK A DICK. THIS IS A TRUE FREESTYLE. If you ever see a rapper freestyle fluently,they wrote some of that shit prior. Thank you Talib for bringing the truth to these idiots that think that freestyling is straight through without fucking up.
the ablibs were funny tho...some ppl need to catch up and get real familiar with this guy, talib been raw. start off with the black star cd, then soundbombing 1, then get that dj hi-tek and kweli train of thought cd, and go from there...a legendary emcee
Even though he just assin' around now, TALIB KWELI is one of the illest ever. Proves the point of what makes a better mc: freestyle or written. Freestyle is just an aspect but if you can't write material with different concepts and dynamics, you are just a flash in the pan!!!!
@Jrodanman WTF! that kid says talib is better than roth and cudi...thats the truth! and you actually disagree with him? dont get me wrong i do love wale, charles, cudi roth b.o.b and all those up coming rappers but are you retarded? talib is practically the father of hip hop! have you not heard of mos def? black star? man fuck outa here with your prepubescent mind
You are entitled to your opinion BUT this isnt represenative of Kweli's Freestyle skills..when he's in concert he's a beast...and anytime he steps in the Booth on Rap City he kills it off the top...please check out the video of him ad Snoop Freestlying..that one was WAYYYY better.
I don't care for Kid Cudi, but asher Roth puts in a reasonable amount of work when freestyling and his mixatape is FIRE. Talib always makes good CD's, b ut he really can't freestyle.
Cudi has no flow at all, and he doesn't even free about anything. His written's aren't even that great. Man on the moon is pretty fresh, but i can't really name too much from him i like.
i mean hes not for everyone, but he does have a flow and his voice is always on point with the beat. how does he not feel free about anything? i dont get that.
i think his writens are on just as good as his freestyles and its good
Dude, Cudi sings, and his lyrics are fairly simple. Listen to his freestyles, if you think there is flow present, then you know no hip hop, Enough said.
He was just having fun with it, everyone has an off game, but i still think that right here he was really good, better than cudi i think. I haven't heard talibs other freestyles but i betting they are really good.
kweli is great and the freestyle is nice...he said some hot shit but i think its just he aint have a delivery or flow to it...but HE DID HAVE lyrics in this fuckin freestyle betta than most rappas in the game athat woulda freestyled off the top
wat did u expect for him to be supernatural or Juice...he is a lyricist not a freestyle rapper and he still managed to better than a lot of rappers would do...when he writes is when he is most prolific.,...now mos def on the other hand...great freestyler
truth... mos def does get it rockin'. but i mean, truth be told, you have to be a well-rounded MC to call yourself one of the best. in terms of writtens, yes, i like talib more than mos, but i also know a lot of people that work hard on BOTH freestyling AND writtens [including myself]... MCs cant sleep nowadays and still expect to be the best. this video shows exactly that.
apparently so my brotha. but i give him props cuz at least he's trying to keep it real real freestyle... 'nah mean? if you look in the related vid of him freestyling with KRS ONE and Buckshot... he's a bit better but you can still tell, he's off the top. he's def. ill with the writtens though.
naw u can say he makes good tracks but a true legend spits fire at any moment, u can say wayne da most successful dat doesn't mean hes da best rapper alive. FREESTYLE IS WAT MAKES U OR BRKS U. Talib< K'NAAN
yoooo this video was tight, but bittersweet because this real hip hop shit in this video is long lost! I live in Miami and I'm used to seeing madd videos on tv that was filmed here.
New York has gotta get together and bring that shit back!
i think that's the first time ever thinking about rapping on that beat, it's not easy + kweli has a different flow then anyone else he changes speed all the time... interesting :O)
THIS is off the top of his head right at that moment! and u can tell, thats why hes studdering. When alot of rappers say its a freestyle, most of the time ITS NOT! and it already written! So shout out to talib, GOOD shit for off the top of the dome.
@alphamale227 Dont try to school me on rap. when u can rap better then me, then you can teach me something. but, for now, i'll rap circles around 99 percent of you niggas.
@ViLLyViLLz Listen bro im not tryin to school anyone at rap just letting you know u made urself sound like a dumbass for saying a freestyle can't be written.
ummmm.... decent. He says talib kweli more or just as many times as soulja boy says 'soulja boy tell em' in his freestyle. and this is the first and last time i compare soulja boy to talib.
This track is ridiculous...("WTF", Wu Tang Forever)
But, anyway, peace to Talib. Peace to Enuff. No one does it better than these two in their respective lanes.
