Long Life - Talib Kweli

[mediteraceltic]

I like kweli. The hip hop fans need people like him because they need to expand their awareness and knowledge arsenal, not constantly being hit with cash cars hoes and guns. On the flipside of that coin ya know black people arent the only ones suffering. They maybe targeted more. When irish people got off the boat they got treated like dogs. there are plenty of white people suffering in america, that were dealt a shit hand from birth and or got caught up. But guess hes a good voice for black men

[izzy5959]

my peoples aint only one's struggling they call mexican's beaners and stole the land from the Indian's but don't want to let them have casinos man they don't want us around but know that they need us......Tell um Ahhhh...Talib 4 Lyfe...

When I need advice, or feel alone. I listen to this, I swear it speaks to me.

[TheTempertrap21]

I owe rappers like this for makin me who I am today. I could be listening to wayne or wiz khalifa right now.

[MasterKaiserKing]

Never thought i'd say this about a rapper but good music is good

...talib kweli..true M.C

[jnon1533]

blaze a fat el chill back and bump this in ur oldschool whip on the highway

[stefan161190]

I could listen to this every day...

[mhaze210]

NEVERMIND...its Dela right??

[XxXxLETHALXxXx]

@mhaze210 Yeah, it's Dela.

[REZA1nr]

@mhaze210 it does sound like Dela

[mhaze210]

WHO produces this??? I'm guessing its not, but it sounds SO MUCH like PETE ROCK!!!!

[mhaze210]

I love how Kweli brings it hard..even over the most mellow beats.

[blazzintricia115]

@critterbare You right, but then those same people know Soulja Boy. SMH! The world we live in is very sad! :-(

[mhaze210]

@critterbare oddly i was just doing that lol..i was actually looking for more songs to post so i came to this...then read that comment lol.

[ayoitsmeeeh]

LULLABY ASS RAPPERS AHHAHAHAHAHAHA

[snipersLock]

Year of the Blacksmith is Eternal!!! Will never fall off!!!!

[jibber951]

The world would be a better place if more people would listen to real hip hop (read: would pay attention to the lyrics).

[0194D]

He had me hooked right when he said wrong section.

[MauXbeats]

lols... your so wrong in what you said... MC isnt limited to just rapping, it can go from ALOT of variety.... and Rappers just stick to rapping. And if you dont listen to his other song, then you dont know what your missing out... cause im DEF sure that talib is better w/e you said... And also being a rapper doesnt make you better than an MC... Its all about real talking and in all Talibs music, he delievers that and meaning... And this is a diss song...you really cant compare this song...

[XxXxLETHALXxXx]

@MauXbeats Mind you, I left that comment two months ago.

[MauXbeats]

@XxXxLETHALXxXx i know that, but you is your thoughts not the same?

[MauXbeats]

@XxXxLETHALXxXx i know that, but is your thoughts not the same?

[XxXxLETHALXxXx]

@MauXbeats Yeah definitely, I just thought that dude I was talking to made himself sound like he was only on Prodigy's side.

[XxXxLETHALXxXx]

@JUGRO0P Never mind.

[jermain703]

i am lovin this so hard

[jjacob182]

This... is fucking amazing!

[Bboy012]

@ProLit ehh his flow doesn't suck it's just kinda basic... he didn't put much into this song because it's a reply to a diss he is just kinda chillin in this... So this isn't really his "new flow" such a thing doesn't exsist...

[CanadianSmokersClub]

Just hearin this track put a tear to my eye, hip hop is so full of energy and soul, god give us back hip hop !

[Fiercefighter2]

@CanadianSmokersClub hiphop is in you, nobody can take it away

[iodine718]

I made a version to this song. I believe it's just as good, if not better than this version. On my channel, right now. Check it out!

[zimeroneluk]

truly how my soul feels

[wemosek]

Drums sounds like they've been sampled from Q-Tip Let's Ride (prod. by J-Dilla), or am I wrong?

[Bboy012]

@wemosek I wouldn't be suprised I can taste the dilla in it.

[Reneg4de90]

BEST!

[xXxArticulatexXx]

Talib Kweli is better than any rapper in the industry now... . ____(Point blank)

[creg118]

@xXxArticulatexXx your wrong completely! impossible to say hes the best when you feel touched by his lyrics, thats just your opinion,

[wicstwo]

@xXxArticulatexXx As much as I'd like to agree with you, I think he's actually falling off..

[iMReCKLeSS22]

Coldest Diss Track, And Its So Smooth.

[frkndopetastic]

goddamn dela is a beast for sampling dexter wansel's life on mars

[lordgeemoney]

one of the best songs ever!!!

[peterpelle]

this is real hip hop!

[Astonish70]

the bass synth in the begining is a NIN instrumental The persistance of loss er some shit.

[jayheart83]

Talib is the most underated, and one of the best..if not the best.

[lyricist614]

Who Was He Talking To Or Was It Just In General

[KarlosSanatana]

@lyricist614 I think its ment for prodigy from mobb deep. Beautiful song man!

[iMReCKLeSS22]

@lyricist614 Prodigy from Mobb Deep cause I guess he dissed him on the internet.

[hallunke26]

made my day....dope!

[ZacTinTX]

Man... somebody put up lyrics to this! I listened maybe 5 or 6 hundred times tryin to get everything. Great instrumental Dela, great message TK, and Prodigy was not dissed, just put in his place. Song's so chill Dela and Kwe did it justice once again.

[rollituphomieits420]

how can you go wrong when Talib is on the track!!!

[MrNwurd]

You ain't ready for war, you got the wrong weapon... lookin for beef, u in the wrong section... AND I'm havin fun wit rhymin, u stuck with guns and diamonds and empty boasts no one is buyin... my fav 2 lyrics

[African2note]

Gives me a Very calm/non cocky/chill mood. In short soothing to the soul

[12815923]

Love Languages From Ghetto Corners Where Love Languishes.

[Mulladuck]

(y)

[HoneyFile]

Wow, I mean seriously. This is hip hop man, every lyric is truth and his flow is flawless, coupled with possibly the best instrumental Ive ever heard. This is the definition of dope.

[hallunke26]

@HoneyFile "This is the definition of dope." <-- word :-)

[konvince]

revolutions per minute comming soon boy!

[Antarezi]

one of his best tracks, and no surprise talib has flow that outlasts most other lyricists.

[wardog3d]

This track here reminds me of reflections eternal Talib style... Classic Talib ... this track is hot.

[SoulPoetMusic]

dooope song

i burn one at night to this song

[SoulandDreams11]

Please Can anyone give me a list of some soul talib kweli songs similar to this and love language??? I am desperate LOL

[Yawn124Bitch]

i'd say two & two is soulful...or maybe beautiful struggle

[SoulandDreams11]

Yo Thanks Man Two and Two was fuckin Amazing. They were exactly what i looked for. thnx bro if you can keep em comin cuz i know there's alot out there. Did you hear his song I feel You???

[Yawn124Bitch]

yeah i heard that...it's over one of dilla's donuts beats, isn't it?

man let me think...did you heard the quality album? the proud, good to you or stand to the side are amazin...so fresh with cradle orchestra is beautiful...

[eS0UL]

Beautiful Struggle, Two & Two, Hot Thing, In the Mood, Around my Way, Ms. Hill, and more.

[MrTexasboy4eva]

This is one hot track talib spits the realist at all times

[flyingporcupine2]

i like that- thats why we call cops beasts

[jerzeyrunnerflash]

Is this a new album?!

[Flo0rless]

"Beef is when your kids is hungry as they go to sleep, beef is when a tank is rolling down your street".. Talib got nothing? He got soul and a hell of a brain.

[ksuwild9]

This is as dope as it gets boys and girls. Mad props to Dela for one of the nastiest beats I have ever heard.

[flyingporcupine2]

agreed

[MastaIsKing559]

raplifegstyle911???how can u even put talib in the same category as prodigy talib is a true lyricists ps dope tho but lyrics are just average kweli is a mc prodigy is a rapper!!!

[flyingporcupine2]

are they dissing dela? why? did dela diss him? i doubt it

[bptboy2]

Dang. I have never heard anybody diss someone on such a chill ass track.

Talib I love you.

[meesch7]

Fucken awsome song. its dumb if someone tries to start anything with Talib. His lyrics are positive by nature. True Hip Hop.

[Zappafan14]

Sick how Kweli disses Prodigy and shows love simultaneously... he's definitely the bigger man

[RapLiFeGsTyLE911]

i respect both but p is a beast he destroys everything on his way believe me if talib be on hes way p smash & crush it like someone else /u need to understand that talib is a sweetheart -p is a beast

[nemesis700]

sweatheart?.ahahaha you dont know about talib

[mrcheereo]

LOL. What are u basing this theory off of. U know the two of them? How do u know Talib is not a fighter. How do u know P is not really soft. Talib said that people assume he's soft or less street just because he has intellegent content in his raps. But dont dissmiss him as being soft.

[XxXxLETHALXxXx]

@RapLiFeGsTyLE911 Yes, Prodigy is GREAT, but let's state the obvious, Talib Kweli is SO much better, he killed him on this track and he wasn't even trying.

[dwaynejones]

this is nothing but love. true light in the essence of god

[YellowTexasRose90]

Love Talib Kweli ...

[nemesis700]

both of em killed it

[turningtide1]

let me comment on the song too hahaa

hard, soulful hip-hop

been hearing this song over & over

[bigxboogie18]

talib is a prime example......of what hip hop really is. he definately one of my favorite rappers yo.

[YoungWolve1]

yes, he's dissing Prodigy, who nowadays is a really whack rapper. Prodigy dissed Talib, Lupe, Sheek and others for being whack, and talib kweli decided to put him in his place

[rj24vc15]

dissing talib is just stupid

He examplifies everything good about hip hop

[Fugeosoul]

Please give Dela the props for this. Not that Talib's not good, but Dela máde this track!

[MauXbeats]

Real hip hop/rap. We need more of this instead of fake shit. Keep going Talib Kweli. Your keeping hiphop alive.

[TheDriskell]

wow this song is amazing, its so real and deep.

[commonsense72]

love this song

[commonsense72]

talib always seem to touch some partt of my life with his music...

[levitonin]

[OrcPusher]

[jimmy1985UK]

[SkaaJones]

Real music........... cant beat it!

Hip-hop Eternalist.

[mr1379]

this is real hiphop, not that 50 stuff!!

[NumberOneHipHopStar]

one talib feature >>>>>> (means A LOT BETTER THAN) 90% of all songs of hip-hop albums today

[revolutionarywarfare]

i'm so diggin this..

[fingflava]

dope as fuck!

[fistjedi]

Is this a diss track towards anyone? If so, its one of the best diss tracks ever recorded in rap history!

[thiog]

yeah he's dissing Prodigy!

[thatsthatgoodshit]

simpy brilliant

i missed a song like this in eardrum, but it was still great.

hope that they drop blackstar 2 soon , now that their both on their peak again

[aaronmts]

fresh beat...

talib. & mos

Unstoppable !!!

[franzfriedmann]

talib just got that something that i appreciate a lot :D

[dayton456]

I love Kweli

when i'm walkin down the street

his music makes me think bout things different

real talk

[bm69x5]

fuck it... im from the south and i like talib kweli but if you think he went commercial like jay-z then maybe your right, but he gotta feed his kids.....whats wrong with expanding your fan base....he came out with hot thang and you think thats commercial?....he still the same Talib Kweli that he was 8 years ago....

[azyattic]

who cares if this cat went commercial. dumb ass kids sayin shit. its all good tho cuz he still makin that real hip hop shit. word up on your last few lines.

[redefinesoul]

Beef is when tanks is rolling down your street. Peace and blessings...Keep the hits coming Kweli

[pedrovegaog]

kweli rocks...

smooth and clear like always...

and he had always been like that....he is not sucking 50 cent's dick like prodigy is doing right now....talk shit about pop rap and rock with 50?? wtf.....prodigy used to be good but now he sucks...anyway he is in jail so fuck him

MAUHAUHAUHAUHAUHAUHA

[gmjigga]

This sounds like vintage Kweli, not that myspace sound he seemed to pick up with his last two albums

[Taaffeman126]

Thank you....bout time some1 said it!

[fhoplist]

This is my type of beats man. Chill and full of layers

[blakjustice30]

This Beat has to be one of the illest hip hop beats ever constructed.

[rise313]

i agree

[PeebloBacteria]

i think this is like my thousand time playing this jam.

[Nesto504]

Real Muisc

[sharedfaith]

peace

[Sycamore666]

I didn't catch the prodigy diss? Even if I did as good as Talib Kweli is hes not on P's level not even close mvP is amazing twice the ammount of albums out in comparison to Talib twice the number of classics twice the rapper in my opinion Prodigy diss or not P lasts forever MOBB

[BrAnDoN919]

lol he dissed the fuck outta Prodigy

[twistedhero99]

this is the hottest beat ive heard in a while. first song ive heard from Talib Kweli aswell. definately impressed...

[v00d00x]

It's Talib Kweli bringing once more the true hiphop. I'm glad there's still some people in the hiphop scene doing it for real and respecting hiphop...

[nerdrich]

soooo smooth.........

[rivastreetrep]

can sumbody message me da link 4 dis?

[stickiefingaz]

absolutely great song right here! Real Hip-Hop is alive thanks to artists like Talib...

[catfishcoleslawfries]

What did I hear a few months ago on Baltimore radio station. Female DJ was saying that hip hop has really split.....pop hip hop and then there is adult hip hop....I think this is the latter. I'm 27 and the crap I hear on the radio station makes my ears want to puke.

[taaffeman124]

"changes of atmoshere"- wat album is that?

[JUGRO0P]

its by a french producer by the name of DELA hes sick check him out

[IndieArmy]

It's the new album from Dela....don't get too excited though, this is pretty much the only good song on the album.

[cwoodson224]

Over half this album is dope, what are you talking about?

[01kaluks]

Tell me does anything now really compare to this? I really don't think so.

[reznick8]

no sir!

[wannabethief]

Perfect way to ether somebody without having to lower yourself to their level.

[redhillmadlads]

Chillin' to the dome on arival . . . yes , this is refreshing

[heightboosting]

smooth shit
