  • My favorite rapper

  • We need to take back the radio, take back music period. We need to call radio stations and request this type of music. Stop complaining about Gaga and Wayne, and start doing something to get rid of them motherfuckers.

  • More fresh goods for purchase

    Less liquor stores

    Less churches lookin like they corner stores

    More rap songs to stress purpose with

    Less misogyn and less curses

    Lets put more depth in our verses

    Till they left on the surface...

  • More Reflection, less... Gaga

  • Yo this is a shame this is the music that people need to hear but the song or the video get no play. Where has the music gone

  • I love Eardrum - This is THE song too - entire album rocks!! Gives me energy at work when I think I'm not gonna make it - a more immediate rush than coffee!

  • this is da shit, u know round like 360 degree bringin good old reflection eternal shit back on da landscape... of course is reflection

  • this is hott

  • I like Kweli a lot, and have for years, but do you guys really like the Eardrum album? Maybe I just need some time with it, but I'm not so sure.

  • love eardrum.

    best songs for me:

    More or Less

    Hot Thing

    The Nature

    Eat to Live

    In the Mood

    there are only 3 songs i don't like out of the cd.

  • what about listen!!!

  • hahaha...def listen but i played it out, and had for months before eardrum came out...reflection eternal 2008

  • eardrum is tight

  • i can't get over this song... infectious !!! but to b honest i care not for Brit nor B...more Mary j or Amy W but hey ... I'm a chick:)

  • i say more Erykah Badu :)

  • absolutely!! i'm ashamed to have omitted Ms Badu :(

  • Talib is back!!! HIP HOP still standin people!! Its Crazy how people label Talib as a conscoius rapper. Even He's against the idea of being labeled. (Check 02:23-02:29

  • Most rappers dont liked to be called"a conscious rapper". So its Reality Rap. like Mos Def,Immortal Technique,MF Doom etc.

    and you spelled it wrong its conscious not conscoius rapper

  • yo kweli release that jean grae album f*** the industry

  • OMG!!!im listening thru the entire Eardrum album (JUST BOUGHT IT)...holy shit man it slams,and VERY soulful which i respect...so far, this album deserves some award, deserves appreciation from everyone...ive heard most the songs already, and combined w/ wat i just heard...its amazing and prob my fav album this year so far....or equal to only a couple others.

  • Hahaha...More Beyonce less britney...AMEN!

  • More Beyonce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!

  • hell yea talib preach

  • la da dah.... Man this beat hits hard as hell in my car, Talib, man, you and Hi Tek need to team up again for another LP. I`m still listening to Hi Tek beat Ol English that he made for GAME.

  • did i hear more beyonce less britney

  • Yeah Beyonce rocks!

  • hot fire

  • Yo kweli this is fire keep doin your thang gonna BUY two copies of eardrum when it drops man I've been listening to this song for an hour the lyrics make the beat that hotter holla great video to this is what needs to be on 106 can't wait for the album

  • Great! Can't wait for the album!!!

  • What we need is more enterprisin less sympathyzin!!!!! Kweli is the best MC PERIOD......And he leans republican!!!!!!

  • Amazen song. Righteous Hiphop baby.

  • whats wrong with em n luda?? lyricly they are par with anyone out there, and i gotta add clipse to that list aswell

  • clipse suck. ludas last album was horrible.

  • so was jay's, but hes still the greatest emcee out there

  • Hell no she can really sing unlike brittney who cant

  • simply put, inspiring

  • Theres nuttin wrong with his flow, the guy is evolving and this track is hot. Whether its commercial or not, its good.

  • i dont like talib going main stream, hes gonna turn into a rapper hes not. hes gonna turn into fcking 50

  • This is NOT commercial. Do you hear a fuckin crunk/hyphy bullshit backdrop? Nope. Listen to his lyrics, he is speaking logically like a REAL Emcee, teaching..fuck all that gangsta, down south bullshit rap, its fucked up the whole industry. All you got is Kweli, Clipse, DMX, AZ and Nas now

  • Don't forget Mos and Common too

  • The Roots, Kweli, Common, Mos def, Dead Prez and the new commer Lupe f n f

  • and apathy

  • yeah lupe

  • Dude what are u talking about. its even worse when people try to categorize kwe as a specific try of rapper a so called conscious rapper but if the guy a chance to break out but one thing is for sure kwe will never be like 50 or those other rapper

  • Yeah, Its crazy how everybody's labelin Talib Kweli. It's not right. It may be for positive reasons, but nobody likes being labeled. Even HE's against it. (02:23-02:29)

  • why you all talkin about white kids? haven't you seen talib's site forum. its all white kids and europeans. talib needs to drop his album soon. at this rate he'll need to drop a 3rd vid right before the album just to keep hype up.

  • in swahili (u)kweli means 'truth', and he's speakin the truth..we need more truth in hip hop..seriously, we dont need ppl rappin bout how much bling they got, how many 'bitches' and 'hoes' they've tapped and how much more fly they are than errbody around them. we need more music from the people that bpre0508 named..they're real. We need real. (listen to Saigon ft Trey Songz too!)

  • Its always funny to me how people think they cant like Talib because they like 50, or vice versa. Like theyre mortal enemies when really theyre both fans of each other. 50 got to interview any rapper he wanted for XXL and he picked kweli. One of the first things talib said was, "it's an honor and a pleasure. You changing the game, you killing them. I'm definitely a fan. This interview means a lot to me." and that he wished he could write hooks like 50. You dont have to catagorize rappers

  • i dont like kweli's new flow...i liked the old black star one....but anyways...big ups to talib and hi-tek on this song...still love them

  • the flow is's the lyrics but the flow is kweli

  • "If lyrics sold, truth be told I'll probably be Lyrically Talib Kweli..." Kwe's doing his thing. You don't need to be commercial like Jay to make a difference in Hip-Hop. I support Kwe cause the man is lyrically mastermind, he and Mos Def, cant even be compared to the 50's, Jibbs, J. Jones. Those fools are nothing compared to Kwe's flow.

  • I feel everything that the last commenters had to say. I think its sad that even though you can be lryically handsome like blackstar, you have to be a commercial artist to sell. It's a tragedy, but what we could all do is buy good music. It's sad because neither mighty Mos nor Talib has gone platnium in any album release. Somebody reply...

  • hiphop sucks because of you. nuff said.

  • this shit is better than

    Jibbs "King Kong" featuring Chamillionaire

  • 50 Cent can crush Talib Kweli's rap career in the comemrical game. But Kweli can outlast most rappers in terms of contributions to the art.

  • Cuz 50 raps for white kids, who buys most of modern day hip hop. Commercial hip hop is and has been "pop" ever since the gangsta rap days...

  • Sadly those white kids control hip-hop's lifeblood with their green.

  • Wait a minute, why is it ok for you to put all white kids in the same box, if i said all black kids...you'd have sumin to say! Im White & 16, I hate 50 & Cam, all that shit...Nas, Jay, Common, Talib, The Roots, Mos, Kanye, Dead Prez, Lupe, Em & Luda are all the truth...Jay, Eminem, Kanye & Luda sell well, but they challenge theirselves musicly, 50's found a winning fomula and he'll stick to it, until it doesn't sell. How can you say all white kids do sumin!! Dats jus fukin ignorant

  • Wow how i can tell you must be a 50 fan lol

  • less shaved heads? less irresponsible mothers?

    stop trying to use the racist card. -_-

  • more beyonce less brittiny whats that nigga tryin 2 say?

  • Beyonce can actually sing better than Britney. Though I still think both of them are products of their labels... We need more Jill Scott less Beyonce! lol

  • Yeah, Yeahhh! this tracks the truth

  • realness!

  • whatta you mean talib is back this songs been out for ages now.

  • It hasnt been out 4 ages. I was in the lab when tek mixed it last june and kwel's album hasnt even come out and they jus shot this vid back in dec or jan (cant remember).

  • sik

  • check out my videos! Peace<>< Justin

  • damn thats a sick video

  • "more beyonce/ less britney" ??? what the fuck does that mean. theyre both shit.

    talib needs to sort it out.

  • yeah but i think he's getting at that Britney is not as talented as Beyonce. Britney is a definite waste of space fake and talentless. "More real, less fake"

  • if you look at the hand motions of Tek and Kweli when he says that line, it's evident what he's really talking about

  • More ass, less tits... I dunno, I like all of the above, lol.

  • /agreed

  • more class less trash...I think is what he meant.

  • hes saying more hot black girl less white trash

  • Kweli is BACK!

  • HIP HOP aint dead

  • hell yeah, been waitin on a song that dont involve trappin an shit.

  • Too sick!

  • This vid is sooo tight. Cant wait for Eardrum to drop

  • That's that music i been waiting for. thanks Talib blessings to you and yours.

  • He's been around for quite a while. He's just not as popular because his message, unfortunately, is not what sells.

  • dope.ill.da truth.

  • Black Star(Talib Kweli/Mos Def) - The greatest of all time!
