[Noex1337]

@JahiSalaam: i'd be inclined to believe that if you could learn to spell

[manbeasts7]

damn dude this is impressive

[ohc3rd1]

@JahiSalaam This is not meant as a put down or anything like that, but why would I want to listen to anything you have to say after reading this message. You've butchered the English language and didn't even spell check the ebonics words you've used. It makes you lack the credibility of a professional. Do not stop trying, improve, please take this as constructive criticism. I met Tailb two days ago for the first time. The man is a very well spoken, down to earth brother. Learn from him.

[Bangura187]

this is my shit

[jmarrvin]

Finally, a music video with a woman who's wearing some clothes.

[msfly38]

...I think hi tek is an underrated dj..love talib. Wish hip hop would go back to what it used to be.

[lotrman91]

Real Shit right here

[alanoix25]

Back when watching hip hop music videos was ill and flowed smoothly with the lyrics. Now hip hop music videos are pornos mixed with a beat. It's just terrible to see how far hip hop has fallen.

[settinitstraightmate]

@alanoix25 just look underground my friend, Hip Hop is having a full resurrection right now! It might even be at its strongest point ever! It just has no support in the insanely controlled media and television of today.

[RestlesslyAwake]

@alanoix25 Hip hop didn't fall. It was stupidly commercialized into a culture that reveres "taboos". American hip-hop still has artists that perform well, but I just question if they get air time anymore- instead, you have a fortune of artists without meaning, only because it sells... Some people don't want to know the positives anymore- just something to remove the pain away. Music that targets that- it's the popCrap rap that is present now.

[sokit2em]

Classic

[jonathanalomoto11]

sample hitek used?

[Ze3y0o]

Bet you didn't even know i had flow though

[815Sox]

Man, this track brings me back to high school, we played this CD all the time, driving around trying to find something to do or a party to go too. Some of the best times I had back then was just chilling with my friends listening to this and sitting around in a backyard or at a park.

[bashie34]

Rap is suppose to say something and this song does it. Good rap is out there , just got to search for it I guess.

[vernaculos]

the  rain

[vernaculos]

What does the rain signify?

[napi83]

47 people listen to wack hop

[RealMuzikPlease]

@napi83 i wanna meet the 47 people who dislikes this they probably got wacky flacky flame in the deck or wat ever the nigga name is

[tonyblair999]

I FUCKIN MISS HIP HOP!!! =(

[daresk1]

Kweli the best!!

[Timeisatest19]

47 people don't know what real hip hop is...

[BoxOfOranges84]

back when MTV played good music.....shit, back when MTV played music period lol

[poohblove]

MAN THIS SONG NEVER GET OLD...

[scumbagstyle]

i am far too white to keep up and speak intelligently about hip hop. i will never have the soul to understand, being all pale. but i damn well know Kweli is the shit. sorry we stole all your moves, you guys, i just hope you can dig what we did with them, here and there.

[lildwayne21]

Talib Kweli is one of the most underrated rappers in Hip-Hop. How come niggaz in Brooklyn these days never mention Talib Kweli's name when they ask who's still holdin' it down in 2011 for Hip-Hop in Brooklyn? Just because Talib Kweli is not as popular as Fabolous is, who has garnered more mainstream publicity than Fab has, doesn't mean that Talib Kweli is not a great rapper, and it also doesn't mean that Talib Kweli isn't reppin' BK to the fullest.

[4everSolidSnake]

I gotta say, as if I didnt' enjoy your screen name enough, your taste in music is great, thanks for this video, I didnt' know Talib even made one

[RevolverOcelot07]

@4everSolidSnake Thanks alot , man! I appreciate that..... From one MGS fan to another!

[4everSolidSnake]

@RevolverOcelot07 you're pretty good....*double finger gun gesture*

[NorieagaHDR]

@RevolverOcelot07 MGS and good music...all a man needs in life! Props on both accounts, man.

[RevolverOcelot07]

@NorieagaHDR No doubt! Thanks for the comment!

[theoneosegood]

@4everSolidSnake

Yes excellent taste in video games and music. If you have any MGS orchestra music please put some of that up as wel!

[spanks13323]

on of the most underrated mc's of all time talib kweli, lyrical flow out of this world!!!

top 5 Mc's of all time:

1) Tupac

2)Nas

3)Biggie smalls

4)Talib Kweli

5) no idea!! coundn't figure out the last one, there is alot of great mc's but these top four are from the neighborhood and rap about positive, uplifting shit!! and thats what not only the world need but our youth!! put this to the top!! u got to love this!

[southsouthbronx]

@spanks13323 5. Anybody from the Wu.. Personally they go higher than that, but they atleast deserve a spot in any top 5 list.. peace

[tewbs]

@spanks13323 5) Masta Ace

[jpksocrates]

@spanks13323 With all respect.

Pac isnt on the same level as those other 4 in terms of flow, delivery, lyrical complexity.

However he was very popular though.

Popularity doesn't make Elvis better than Chuck Berry,

Lil Wayne is quite popular now I hear, not better than Kweli tho. If he outsells Pac, he wont be better than Pac either.

Records sale mean nothing.

Pac had charisma, so does DMX.

Tired of seeing the great Emcees ignored in best ever lists

As PE say 'Dont Believe the Hype'

[spanks13323]

As duk boii Talib aint quality he aint no more den da fuken dog dookie on my shoe homeh oh and p.s.................YOUNG MONEY BITCH!!!!!

[Epicfailure4]

@quiknasty I would reply to that comment, but it is illegible.

Btw, FUCK THAT SHIT YO

Talib kweli

[quiknasty]

@Epicfailure4 niqqa kweli aint shyt on tha mike bro if he went toe to toe lil wayne would go ham

[sumedhraghavan8732]

@quiknasty If you seriously think Wayne is better than Talib then I feel sorry for you. Wayne comes out with few good punch lines here and there. Talib can actually put some words together in a manner that is Shakespearean. Just because you can understand Wayne doesn't make him better.

[montezdariel]

@sumedhraghavan8732 talib is nice on the mic i agree

[quiknasty]

@sumedhraghavan8732 it was fake bro i like real hip hop not the\at young money bull shit i like Nas, common, kweli, hi tek, wu tang, ATCQ, the roots, nujabes, biggie tupac Etc.

[quiknasty]

@quiknasty haha epic failure to tell you the truth i am actually very legible and literate, i also like talib kweli very much and those comments were fake, i was experementing to see if people who listen to hip hop make a bigger deal out of someone dissing a true artist and this proves that true hip hop heads seem to not be childish about this kind of shit............p.s BLACK SMITH IS THE MOVEMENT!

[mfmiggs36]

@quiknasty so i was reading your stupid ass ignorant comment and all i could do is laugh because it's hilarious, and i also wondered how you got to use a computer if there are none in an asylum.

[quiknasty]

@mfmiggs36 i am very much sane and you should not be laughing cause i am not that iliterate and stupid haha

[jblovaforeva2000]

Wow this hit a million views? I didn't think the world liked good music anymore.
