This is true ghetto good shit music right here. This is the kinda music you hear when you are on the interstate in some crusty area in the United States and the only radio station that works is THE BRONX FM because half of your antennae is ripped.
damn i cant wait i see talib and mose def may 30th in nyc i cant wait its gona be a eargasm. and i dont care what any body says Talib Kweli is one of the best if not thee best artist in hip hop right now in fact hes been at the top of his game ever since his first album came out he is truly a legend in the making
not really......i have a small circle of artist that I listen too.....why? who would you say is up there?.....i left out eminem because he makes alot of play music when he needs to get back on his serious shit. Jay z is nice but he is a lil over rated as a lyricist if you ask me.....his flow is what makes him. Im not saying that they are the greatest but as far as lyrics go i like people like kweli....mos def...and so on
jayz is underated because he watered down his lyrics half his career, bu i think he is better at times, nas is ok, mos is good but if you look it as a whole the battle rappers are probobly on top, true underground rappers probobly got the leg up realistically, jae millz, serious jones, murda mook they are pretty good too lyrically. In the industry common is up there when he was good, masta ace has decent lyrics and i dont know all the guys i like but thats part of my opinion/
i forgot a couple of my favorites, skyzoo, phonte, black thought (at times), One. Be. Lo., and ras kass all are very good with lyrics. i still cant remember all of them.
i havent checked alot of jae millz verses out, he is ok but not one of my favorites but i feel u on ras kass. Also i think lupe fiasco is genuinely one of the best rappers out right now......they say hes too smart but how is that a bad thing.....instead of him dumbing it down i think people should step there game up lmao feel me
I love the way jus makes the beat so soulful and the way kweli rides the track - I remember when I first got this cd I was really feelin the track - just really hot shit - sorry to say that shit like this is missing from hip- hop now a days
fabolus is only good not great. his not a consistant good rapper even he just shines once in a while...he doesnt have even one amazing song...so thats a shitty arguement or statement you tried to justify
Listen to What should I do. That is an amazing song. and Fab is better on "freestyles". and I don't mean off the top of the head i mean no corus and shit.
Fab is underrated. he has sick punchlines and a crazy rhyme scheme. He is a different type of rapper than Kweli. dont mean he aint good
yours nuts if you think Talib would bite a whack rapper like fabolus. Talib is one of the greatest and most revolutionary hip-hop artists alive .. or dead. fabolus is who? a nobody haha.
Lol you are a dumbass. it doesn mater how long kweli been out for if he or fab took it. it maters when the song was made. and Fab has been out since mid-late 90's so it isn as big as a difference as you make it out to be
