Talib Kweli - More or Less

[Mrkillthatnoise]

I know a lot of people will disagree, but in my ignorant opinion, Talib Kwali is on a completely different level than any emcee. By far. More message and layered meaning in 2:00 of his music than most rappers have in their entire careers. That's why I fucks with that nigga tho.

[happyhempy77]

love tis track!!!

[owheela]

388,000 views in almost 5 years?! and waka flocka has 50 mil in a week. what a fucked up world we live in

[L33tPwNeD]

One of the realest tracks I've heard, remixed this with Otis Reddings - A Change Gonna Come if anyones interested in checking it out.

[ThaSubzstance]

@L33tPwNeD yo actaully checked it out.... and its fuckin amazing, good job on remixin my fav artist.

[MrStevieBeats]

fucking dumbass posers, come to a talib kweli video to hate on lil wayne to make yourself look cool. too bad 50 and Wayne are good too.

kweli is a god though.

[Rickeeey1]

Talib Kweli owns so much. It would be so nice if he did a track with KRS.

[gopaloo]

he has, actually.

look up "the perfect beat" with talib kweli and krs-one

[Hakman7863]

ty 4 tha knowledge,

just started listening to Kweli, he is purely amazing,

easily one of my fave artists

[dustybeijing]

@Rickeeey1 Maybe if you bought the album you'd know that he did

[youngstorgets]

This album is fucking sweet

[JackScrot]

finally... ive found god

[djfe4president]

i can tell this song never received a 4 star 

talib , mf doom, jayz, common = mc gods left

[HIPHOPrevoltion]

gay-z. gtfo here

[Microphonechecka2]

more Beyonce less Britney(:

[LPrism]

I always thought this video was dope for it to be made with just the green screen alone. It should have gotten more play on music networks when it came out. Plus of course the song is SICK

[broccett25]

this shit iz hard!!!!!!!!!!

[jbentley8383]

Talib is......................HIP HOP!

Too bad there's no battle videos of him on Youtube....He would tear mainstreamers apart lyrically

[MTXSHO9732vV8SHO]

LOL. What would be the point of that? At the end of the day, there are people that listen to 'stuff' that isn't even remotely related to this and SWEAR they are listening to Hip Hop. Their favorite rappers would get on, yell and say "What" on every downbeat and they would swear up and down that person ripped the set.

A REAL EMCEE could get up there against that same babbling retard and be coherent with the polysyllables and people that like that drum/keyboard/yelling rap would say it's weak.

[5thAvandeveer]

That is a response of someone who fully understands the artform aspect of hip hop.thank god for ppl like u

[Hakman7863]

Kweli is excellent.<<<< Read and understand that.

[Boxer333333]

amen number 2:D

[plitika]

more alternative rap, hip hop...less that industrial shit rap.....

[Back0Pack]

Talib is one of my favorite MCs.

[sharafgq21]

"Lets put more depth in our verses" lil wayne, t.i and friends gotta lsn to this song

[paquinp1]

ummm maybe lil wayne gotta listen to this but T.I. got depth to his shit

[GSGDarkSide]

T.I aint got no depth, hi's just as useless as the other mainstreamers.

[thamuzicaddict]

I thought TI was just another clown, but I have noticed he's reaching a broader demographic for some reason. I mean even for mainstream rap, I find his music pretty shallow, so what do they all see in him?

[sn26505]

I felt the same way until I heard his new album... I must say, he's stepped it up and I'm thoroughly impressed at its content.  Check it out.

[patrice86]

"This aint no marketing strategey

It had to be from the heart in order to be reality"

One of the best 5 stars.

[McG0025]

everybody i ask doesn't know who hi-tek is

[kzoney]

yea they dont. thats because he dont make music for fame nor money but for love. thats what hip hop suppose to be about. mainstream hip hop is a joke its monotonous. i got a bentley sittin at my crib, i got a 9mm ready to pop ur head off blah blah blah same ole corny shit. i listen to underground hip hop now. granted talib and hi-tek not underground but i do listen to their music because they dont come with the same monotonous crap

[Jawlex]

extremely creative chorus.. serious concept. I'm impressed!!

[piruetas4]

more kweli, nas and mose def less lil wayne, young jezzy and souldja boy

[OneWhoCallsTheShots]

amen

[theshadowboy607]

great

[khanbilal54]

best lyrics and beat that i havent heard in a long time

[blazerepublic]

OH MY GOD gunkydood!!!! Ive never agreed with anyone more in my life.. I feel like crying now lol

[gunkydood]

More Kweli, Less Soulja.

More Lupe, Less Wayne.

More Technique, Less 50.

[jessejoshmatt]

@gunkydood ont agree with last one

[rjgignac]

@jessejoshmatt then you need to listen to more technique....and less 50....

[mikolbs]

More Talib less Justin.............fuck! Talib did a track with Timberfake :-(

[hiphopjunkie06]

[coolguy76567]

beyonce and britney both suck

[ManUscripted87]

[theshadowboy607]

britney sucks

[normy517]

[Nequey8]

[JoePesciVSBillyBatts]

[GoldenAgeHipHop]

This video is amazing!!! Real Hip-Hop

[MissGunitxx]

[Marchello09]

That guy really has a style.

[xBlazinBoyx]

talib n nas best rappers ever both from n.y same as dmx lox uncle murda papoose busta red n meth reakwon krs rakim...lol ect....simple real hip hop is from the east ya diggg

[ThaGiver]

90% of those are wack, uncle murda? you're probably a juelz fan rofl

[drawinggirl08]

juelz? juelz santana? aint nothing wrong with him

[ThaGiver]

hes not real hip hop. hes weak. but i dont expect you to know bout that since you're a girl. you probably got lil wayne -lollipop in your ipod. what you know about masta ace? you prob dont even know who he is

[drawinggirl08]

y r u comin at me like that so what i like juelz n i HAD lollipop on my mp3 so did other girls and guys for that matter...i dont care who masta ace is nn ur right i dont know who he is maybe u should tell me..besides..what makes u think that ur opinion is the right one to judge whats REAL "hip-hop" lol u probably too young to truely know what hip-hop was really meant for

[ThaGiver]

im 21, judging by the way you talk like diz, you're around 10-13

[drawinggirl08]

haha actually im 19..so yea that proves you are not good at reading people

[myownphilosophy]

Or maybe it proves that, for your age, you're really not that good at writing.

[drawinggirl08]

age doesnt matter...ive never been that good at writing..haha

[gtino93]

WEAKK WEAAKK! Trust me, most of the fools these days aren't hip hop, check out the truerhymesayers ENT label, they have white MCs that have more skill than Lil Wayne. True hip hop is all the way from GM Flash to Common, even udnerground stuff, hell i'll throw in Jedi Mind Tricks.

[Lace345]

uhh WHO DOESN'T HAVE MORE SKILL THEN LIL WAYNE

[gunkydood]

soulja boy. Fo' sho.

[gtino93]

haha basically every snap and crunk rapper

[gunkydood]

why is it a poor comment??? Soulja Boy is waaaaaaaaaaaaay weaker than lil wayne. Fo' sho. And you all know that both of them suck.

[YoungDeepThinker]

I gave it a thumps up now lol I uno y it had a thumps down.

[Nrcda1]

And soulja boy n lil wayne waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaay weaker den talib its hard 2 compare them cos dey r not in his league .talib is da positive streetz guy bringin dat real hip hop peaceful vibe no play

[jizzy2sexi]

uncle murda is wack but the rest of them there are good

[midnight224]

This had to be more than Justs final cu. Andre are you kidding me? This is crazy

[hiphopjunkie06]

too crazy...good hip hop has a message

[LILMIKESK8]

lil wayne sux talib god of hip hop

lil wayne is a peasant

[trojanstudent]

Greatst song the album no doubt but this specific take is horrible...it sounds rushed and not as crisp as it does on the album

[stillmatic91]

who is da better rapper

/watch?v=TSNkQ0RefYk

[ilias900]

Ofcourse Talib is

[wonko76]

when he spit " more weed less cocaine", i was just like this songs gonna be the shit...

[crayyawn]

haha amen

[nubfoff]

i have not bought any albums cuz all the ones i like came out before i started listening to real hip hop i plan on buying nas's new album and also bishop lamonts

[Wolf17023]

I bought it....cash.....dnt think many people did though. THe music industry is doomed (especially hip hop) unless this downloading of music gets under control. Now youre able to buy a track off of an album legally, its like 1 dollar. If its not worth 1 of your hard earned dollars thn why listen to it?

[HYPDOGG3]

albums nowadays are advertisement of talent, and from there you sell shows and get yo paper from tickets, especially since theres SO MANY artists tryina make it, it's competition get in the ring and do yo thang, and when yo do it like kweli u get ur props and respect and spot in hot line ups....dats a REAL mc, MOVE THE CROWD n if u do that without appearances then uz a lazy fake like MF DOOM with his imposters :) or maybe it's just a different part of the game I'm unaware of studiogangsta??

[Vulyin]

I did!

[91rap]

Let me just ask some of you a simple question, and I'm not asking to be an asshole, but I'm just wondering:

How many of you actually BOUGHT "Eardrum"(as in pay money for someones hard work and NOT downloaded it illegally from the internet)?

I know I did :D

[illmatic432]

i know i did too.

[Soulrutep]

I download allot of stuff. But the REAL music like Talib always gets my dollar at the shop. Respect.

[tjmack010]

I did too, to be honest, I also downloaded Finding Forever, and I swore never to download any good artists songs and support them, but I do have a good jolly time downloading Lil wayne, Boosie, Gucci Mane, and my very favorite horrible rapper.... soulja Boy, but I did start buying albums like the Cool and the Nigger album and I'll continue doing that.

[wonko76]

i do download alot, even when it is REAL music...but...that definitly doesn't mean i have less respect for talib...it's just free...:-D

[gi5000]

watch?v=vZfXl9BLIXs

[zizoutheman]

Super Kwe's the king of hip-hop

[Westcoastmexican]

talib is a real MC but he's way underrated

[q1hvc7r]

true

[byrdboy44892002]

MORE MARIJUANA LESS COKE

[jizzyjane]

REFLECTION eternal

[illmatic432]

soulja boy, hurricane chris, huey, 50 cent, and flo rida all dropped horrible albums last year. it would've been the worst year ever for hip hop, but kweli, common, lupe, kanye, chamilli, and wu-tang all dropped incredible albums last year, and therfore saved 2007.

[funkdoctah]

Because he made the best rap. 4.Why i think Lupe? Because he has a good voice and lyrics, but he overratted a little bit. 5.Why i think Kanye ? He is a litte bit overrated to.

[Nekkidj]

Talib is awesome but has fallen off a little bit lately. J Live is the best MC overall. CHECK HIM OUT!!!
