Talib Kweli - Great Expectations

[cambodia73]

Great song!!

[GrimmjowProduction]

and I like how he says "Im able to keep it fresh like vegetables & kous kous" xD Kous kous being a marocan dish that tastes really good :D

[murphyhurtme]

@GrimmjowProduction yeah uh, cous cous being really good is questionable at best. that shit is fucking nasty.

[GrimmjowProduction]

@murphyhurtme thats cuz u eating that fake shit... u been to morocco b4?

[murphyhurtme]

@GrimmjowProduction no, i got to admit that i haven't. so i guess the cous cous you get at the grocery store isn't as good? because that shit is nasty. actually i would rather punch myself in the face than eat one bowl of it.

[GrimmjowProduction]

@murphyhurtme Yeah you should probably don't even expect it to be 1% as good as the real home made one... but you know, each taste to it's person right? plus cous cous can have various tastes depending on how you make it and with what ingredients...

[murphyhurtme]

@GrimmjowProduction what an odd thing to talk about on a talib kweli video

[GrimmjowProduction]

This dude, and Mos Def... are the best...

[ThePoetOflove7]

Talib Kweli !!!! love this joint lolz

[keysib]

Some feel good shit right here! Kweli = your favorite rappers favorite rappper

[juggernaut0701]

very chill song, memories.

[HulkAndrei1992]

Mos Diddy :)

[pSmurf954]

Baby Jesus, what cd is this from....I must know..

[thatguyfrom03]

@pSmurf954

Off a Japanese CD called SYNCHRONICITY by Various Artists released in 1999.  If you search with "Great Expectations" hard enough you'll find it.

[MrBonez15]

this song is motivational and what people need to hear to get they head straight but the contents of it only makes sense to those who listens to the words and uderstand the meaning of the terms and examples he uses. true love and care for a future we dont see so clear.>Fly Guy Majestic<

[boozinyalosin92]

makes everything feel right

[ItsShadyP]

[MasterDusk]

A genuine classic; graceful instrumental and real lyrics. Kweli stays true.

[tghetto5]

LMFAO ahhaahahah aye this Talib is tight. If you're not gay though, you will come to my page and listen to all my raps. The more you listen, the less gay you become and if you subscribe you're super not gay.However, if you are gay, you will just ignore this comment and not come to my page. The choice is yours.

[bbasketballstr11]

@tghetto5 so you're saying gay people aren't allowed to view your page?

[tghetto5]

@bbasketballstr11, I was just trying to get some shock views.

[merkseason09]

2 thumbs down for this song is to much.

[thamiiiitha21]

Real Hip Hop period.

[ccspence8]

Damn 2 yrs later and I still love this song hahaha

btw I got the first comment on this video

[arjones17]

this track has been fire since I got it 3 years ago. Everything he spit he kills! BLACK STAR baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rubikscube79]

I don't think talib has ever really been under rated...maybe under appreciated would be a better phrase to describe. I say that only because I remember when he first hit the masses and he was immediately crowned best lyricist that year.

[chris45322345]

I think the opposite really. I don't know anyone who likes hip hop and doesn't appreciate talib kweli. Yet I know plenty of people who aren't appreciated as much yet get mentioned much more and higher pay. See where you are coming from though

[clowneska]

lupe fiasco

talib

eminem

jay z

lil wayne and soulja suck

[Take2nPass]

you pop-homo :D

[clowneska]

[jjsmit1993]

Damn he killed the track. I felt his flow on this one. Hope he has one like this on the new reflection

[aznbbe01]

dopest mc way to underrated

[konzzt]

[hiphopisntdead]

[outofAlog]

[Bmoony42]

When Big L said "only niggas wit skillz should get dealz" he was definitely talking about this cat right here. Big Ups to Talib! & r.i.p to my nigga L, we love you nigga

[revolutionarywarfare]

i heart talib kweli (no homo)

1

[ballingangsta4]

saying no homo just makes it gayer because you know youre saying something that is gay

[revolutionarywarfare]

haha i dont even know what i was on when i wrote this! but yeah, youre right

peace

[RisingTidesNewSun]

@ballingangsta4 thats g.a.y

[8bloc]

@ballingangsta4 Ha.....no homo, but that gay joke was funny as hell..LOL.right? Damn. It's like a thug sayin: No Homo, but fuck yall niggaz. LOL...wow. Good point.

[RickIgnorant]

@ballingangsta4 what about no racial?

[jabba12000]

@ballingangsta4 saying no homo is supposed to let you know it is not ment in a gay way. technically yes you are saying something that is gay but by saying no homo you are letting everyone know your intentions are not in a homo way.. still tho dont fuckin say gay shit so im gunna thumbs up that shit anyway

[ccspence8]

I just noticed I had the first comment on this song over a year ago haha. And I said I can't stop listening to this song. Just so good to listen when chillin or at night.

[ccspence8]

This song always makes me smile. One of Talib's hidden classics.

[OhYeah88]

[Richie2k6]

Whenever I write with my pen and make a point

Y'all be like "damn, that's the joint!"

[Prodigy51992]

"Classics, it's the best of Brooklyn, New York City, so we're never comin' shitty

I get more love in Japan than "Hello Kitty"

Such a pity, these MC's think they hangin' with me

Catch me on Japanese MTV with Mos Diddy"
