[LibertyFLProductions]

Nas is the prophecy

Pac is the Legacy

We can only look to Nas, Talib, Mos Def to SAVE hip hop

We can only look to Pac, to LEARN hip hop

check my vids for pure underground beats and leave feed it will help :P

[RobertBeggi]

nas couldnt lick the dirt off pac, cut the shit and go listen to against all odds by pac

[Convenient8765]

i cant stand it when people now label talib as a mainstream artist. believe me people he aint mainstream

[fightgirl79]

Tupac is not better that Nas stop says stupid shit like that. Pac on had like a 3year window anyway. Nas is the total package when it comes to what make an EMCEE

[ProjektXero91]

Yea Pac is awesome but right now Talib gets his shine!

Talib is one of a kind as far as rhyme skill the man got talent unlike some people... -Coughs- (Wayne, Jeezy, Soulja, Rick Ross,) LOL

[heyskylin3]

Jeezy's got talent, listen to his lyrics.. he's all real with his music.

[lisquidsnake]

What? This song is still hot!

[sil2k8]

people say soulja's bad

but errbodys bad

errbody who don't be talkin about real shit

but instead all the time money, thats why

the past music is the real shit

[TreMuch]

I've been sleepin on Talib as far as support. Imma buy his albums now!

[dexlawstrat]

i didnt't say talib was better then nas son! i no he an't i never said that famo... nas is good!! ..

ONE!

[dexlawstrat]

TELL ME WHAT YOU PEOPLE THINK OF DIS YEARH? AIGHT, HERE WE GO. You know how you have organic food and you have fast food, you know {"junk food"} is like talib is the organic food of hip-hop and soul-ja-boy is like the fast food of hip-hop, thats right people know nutritional value to you at all! Pear junk, But talibl is like organic, GOOD FOR YOU.

[weg4life]

HAHAAHAHAHA well said my nigga danm surly only a brother could only say something like that

[dexlawstrat]

Its like hip-hop is a body and the more junk food it intakes {i.e} SOULJABOY the more unhealthy it would become and eventually die. Thats why we need more organic artists is in hip-hop like talib kweli, moss def, common you could even say immortal technique yeah those artist is they need to be more of them so we could keep hip-hop more healthy and alive and breathing well. OK THATS IT PEOPLE LET ME KNO WHAT YOU THINK OF MY THEORY. peace & love. ONE!

[Aerodynamic1991]

you're right!

[Hakman7863]

your theory is good.

[kingnard17]

i think your theory is flawed....i hate when ppl say that we need to get rid of ppl like soulja boy and have more lyricist....i feel that there is room for everyone and every different genre of hip today.....i mean hip hop is a form of expression, i mean sometime i might want to crank dat batman(which i dont by the way) or i may jus want to get by like my man talib

[alarsen54321]

shut up, noone cares about your input, you obviously try heaps hard to be intellectual but you just come across as a fucking loser!

[kingnard17]

wtf dude u dont make any sense.....but thanks anyway

[alarsen54321]

it clearly does make sense, your brain just probably isn't good enough to process the whole sentence at once.

[kingnard17]

damn okay since u want to be an ass about it , when u used the phrase "heaps hard" is horrible and incorrect english okay thanks

[ItsaKingThang]

@alarsen54321 LMAO

[dexlawstrat]

you have to read the TELL ME WHAT PART FIRST AND THE COMMON PART SECOND.. SORRY ABOUT THE PEEPS. ONE!

[dexlawstrat]

common you could even say immortal technique yeah those artist is they need to be more of them so we could keep hip-hop more healthy and alive and breathing well. OK THATS IT PEOPLE LET ME KNO WHAT YOU THINK OF MY THEORY. peace & love. ONE!

[dexlawstrat]

TELL ME WHAT YOU PEOPLE THINK OF DIS YEARH? AIGHT, HERE WE GO. food of hiphop, thats right people kno nutritional value to you at all! pear junk,! but talibl is like organic, GOOD FOR YOU.

[dexlawstrat]

talib makes that organic hiphop it just hits your soul, in a good way, its just so refreshing dont u people think so. peace and love. one!

[dietsnapple89]

Lupe > Talib

[Phallum]

They're both decent. Neither one is better than the other at actually rapping and the production is solid for both of them.

[juggalo18181]

Talib is one of rappers that we all listned to when we were in the pen or at deathrow.

[nokane85]

Talib is one of the few that can still flow.

[hughmbaezue]

without kwali thr is no rap, his so original and dosnt talk jus abt money cars and women like other rappers. He reminds me of the days when rap wasnt cabbage.

[silky1700]

KANYE ALWAYS KEEP TIGHT BEATS.

[jesse9999999]

this song it better than anything ive heard from after 2000. also does anyone no where i can download the instrumental the piano is hell crazy and its just awesome. so can someone please tell me im in personal torture

[AntwoneFisher3]

The label want a song about a bubbly life..I have trouble trying to write some shit to bang in the club through the night, when people suffer tonite........One of the greatest lines...Conscious lyricism, great delivery, not to complex, not to simplistic, great flow...An MC that should be considered one of the top five greats ever..He is better than Nas and Pac thats for sure!!

[jesse9999999]

nas yes. pac no. dont get ahead of yourself

[BOSSLADYAF]

Bruv, dont be fooled, if you reckon talib is better that nas then it follows he is better than pac, u can never have pac over nas lyrically thats blasphemy, Pac had a bigger impact but nas is the lyrical god dont get it confused, Im a talib fan got most his albums but even he aint touching Nas, trust me.

[NBSpielkind]

word, yeah liste to that man

[Dsenuik]

tupacs still better than nas though

[dtmaximo]

[janw0lf]

"so many suffering, cause deep inside they are scared" . great hookline from mary

[delbarakfarhangdoost]

serious shit!

[bobcat9978]

I friggin love this video and song. I know people are saying that with this CD, he is kinda gone mainstream but i say that he could make a beat to Soulja Boy, as long as he keeps his lyrical content, prowess, and delivery up to par like in this song. Classic talib, a song with meaning.

[Jenn78901]

[vicionogunbound]

[ChiBoogie2]

one of the best collabo's...thats my word...1

[shamoogoo]

mary j is amazin , but think ppl will agree that talib is in a league of his own , thats wot i think most ppl are tryin to say , he deserves much more respect than he gets, still the best out there in my opinion, get rid of all this new crap bring up talib, nas , read lyricists

[c2tw]

meh, erica baidu>mjb for talib, seriously.

[julien5390]

kweli feat mary j blidge ... WTF ??? kweli deserves more than that

[9107you]

[KicsiRamy]

well anyways the clip is just great so yup people its kinda sad but these days if u have money u have life if not ur life is just cheap yes its kinda shit but its like this so make money and be "happy"...

[leroymoneyman]

wtf is this backpacking BS, I need some nelly or yung joc....

[01hdav]

wow literally no-one has watched this, no offence to Kweli because he is a brilliant song writer, but how did he get signed to universal? he just has no commercial marketability.

[GramFam01]

Well i know the game is about making money,

But Kweli is not a businessman he is an artist!

Get It People!

-=PEACE=-

[yoonisaykul]

not a new song+only added 24 hours ago.

[skindawg19]

You dont think talib makes money? You obviosuly haven't been into this for long. Nor are you in the industry.

[07Subb07]

Thats just great isn't it? A great song writer and artist who doesn't care about making money just making music! in my eyes he's being a better artist then a lot of other ones

[nickrees2k1]

maybe universal saw more in him then just commercial marketability

maybe they saw potential

at least someone is still signing credible rappers

just listen to the music

commercial marketability = lack of skill and direction (usually).

[theanticool]

Beautiful song

[PingrySkiTeam]
