If someone ever dares to dislike this track: I'm going to find myself a big, brown bear and walk it to their house, so that it can personally pimp-slap THE FUCK out of them, with this song playing on repeat in the background :0).......!!
For Talib Kweli fans who live in Southern California I have tickets to see him LIVE on Nov 25th is Santa Ana tickets are only $20 message me if interested.
@knicksfanatic4eva YT always messin with stuff ....can't thumb up comments anymore but damn, yours is powerful....i have a kid but i know exactly how you feel
That actually means something. Like they have in the past and as far as breathing life into you are right absolutely But there is not enough of it in the business today. So read my comment I first wrote again and understand what I was trying to say.
Hip hop is getting killed by the ppl that put the solja boys and the roscoe dash's in the category of hip hop. It's about the money in hip hop now otherwise everyone would be independent I know the music industry fam believe me and it's a horrible path that it's going down and the only real way an artist can make money off of this business is to go independent. Some say it's not about the money well if that's true or true lyricist wouldn't take 3 years off to keep putting out music.
I'm not a fan of commercial music but yes it is necessary in hip hop. Not saying it's the way it should be it's the dirrection hip hip is going. Underground is where the true hip hop lies but if we didn't have that commercial influence (like I said before) we would not have the 12 yr old little white girl buying a jay z record b/c she heard him singing hollywood w/ beyonce. And you twisted my words there will never be a hip hop word with just kweli, common, rakim's but would be great.
One of the best to do it. I could only wish that hip hop was based on lyrics again and not on marketing individuals celebrity. For the hip hop fans know that it will never die if ppl stay true intelligently compose meaningful songs. Commercial is needed for hip hop to thrive but Lyricist are the backbone of what it means to be HIP HOP
Your statement that hip hop needs to be commercialized is incorrect. The best hip hop is from the underground where people give a fuck about jewelry. Making music for a living is cool, but if you weigh your money higher than your music, you're usually a sucky sell-out rapper like most of the "rappers" on MTV nowadays.
Commercial "hip hop" is actually killing the real essence of hip hop instead of making it thrive. People like Talib Kweli keeps breathing life into it.
One of my favorites and I so thank you for taking the time to post this because this is inspiration to everyone no matter who you are. But that is the wonderful dynamics of such an amazing lyricist, artist, MC that is Talib Kweli!

"I don't love you to death, cuz I love you to life
And you a teenager, you might not want my advice
You might be full of spite, think you're grown, still a tyke
And say things that cut like a patient under the knife
I say this, cuz I was once a teenager too
And respect from my peers is really all that I related to
But I made it through, you gonna make it too
So much I wanna say to you"
POWERFUL...I don't even have kids yet and those lines give me a feeling deep in my chest. It rocks your soul.

I've been looking for this, since the album first dropped...dedicated to my little boy and girl, ages 5 and 4, respectively.
There is nothing more important, than when you find a song that you can dedicate to your babies :)...much love, for the post!!
