"If skills sold, truth be told I'd be lyrically Talib Kweli"
That's from a nigga that many consider to be the greatest, and he's stating how much doper Kweli is technically.

"Go through the seasons of love and never change with the weather"
ARH<3 The Love of my life. We've been through so many seasons of love and we're still going strong for 7 years! This song explains everything. Gotta love Talib!
every week i have a song i would be addicted to for one whole week but ahhhhhh, honestly.......this song has been playing repeatedly this past week. and i think its going to be a month or years or never.
@Redrootsorganization ummmm......Ive never processed the thought of "blending" with someone. Thats sounds deeply ..... i dunno. Spirtual?....Freaky?...... superhuman perhaps? It sounds like something you dont really recover from. I need to "blend" with someone!
Sweet remake of Eddie Kendricks song - Can I - I love both songs and play them back to back all the time. This is SLOW DRAG music. Get close to your girl on the dance floor. Turn the lights down low. Hold her close. Put your leg in between her leg and GRIND slowly to the beat with all the love, passion and soul possible. Grind in unison, like vertical sex with your clothes on. :) Fellows, now you have to know when to slow down a little. If you go to far ...oh my bad

Dis joint right here gives me chills all over my body, I think of one person only when I hear it, my other half, my hubby , my King, my bestie, the father of my babies one day. I luv u Osiris, over a year strong and still going. God is good, all the time especially for placing u in my life over 10 yrs. ago luv ^-^ I'm so happy to be talking to u King <3
Talib def. paints a wonderful picture here, and Bilal just adds some great layers to this. I put this right up there with Liberation by Outkast. So soulful and real
i dont like many love songs but this is just 1 of those songs that make me wanna have a nice slow dance with the 1st girl i c, this song is def 1 of the best hip hop love ballads
The line that gets me is :You must live in (or within, I was too daydreamy to remember) that infinite blackness when I close my eyes. Does anybody know how deep and beautiful that is. Oh goody!
in high school i wrote this on a letter to my ex-girlfriend.. she said it made her cry.. she asked me if i wrote it and i was like "uhh..yeah"... i hit it that day... =)
I luv dis track...when I hear it I think of my Chubby Cheecks...Talib gives me chills when I hear his voice over the track...the way he flows is sick!!!!
The first time I heard Bilal was on Common's 6th sense (one of my favourite primo beats) but I didn't know who the vocalist was. A dear friend put me onto this track. Fucking magical. How there are so many kweli-doubters out there is beyond me
I'd like to hear more of this in hiphop. A really tight band backing up a talented mc and singer. The Roots have been carrying the torch but not too many others have followed.
this is the kind of love you need to escape an oppressive structure. all these sub-oppressors on the radio nowadays are just tokens the people above them use to make money off of
