Great song/video. I loved watchin this back then because it showed that Kweli could make a party song with the best of them although that may not always be his main concern - also, the move at the end is priceless.
That's Bilal....that brotha vocal range is sick.......believe or not he can actually sing opera....peep his album 1st born...or youtube ...his Soul Sista........the brah is hotness lyrically and vocally...
yeah he is rather xtra.....reminds me of that dude from high school who had talent but was a bit annoying....sort of morris day-ish but with a new century swagga
Aiight, that reh629 dude is right. BET wil only play that dumbed down, shallow rap to its audience. But it ain't always southern. I'm from the Massachusetts, and I know that there are southern and northern cats who get no play because they refuse to rap about that shit.
if it doesnt have 32.1 inch chrome spinning vibrating rims or half naked hoochies shaking the asses and rubbing their boobs or dudes trying to kill each other or selling crack, BET isnt going to play it.
Nigga I'm from the south, and every body plays that down south music evry where you go. So I don't know what the fuck you talking about. Down south music get more play then west coast or east coast as a matter of fact. I like it all, but you don't know what the hell you talking about fool.
good music is music where EVERY race can enjoy such as this hip-hop. that crapped up rap and gagnsta rap nonsense in the mainstream is example what music is not to be, and same to go with Nazi metal.

Everyone who likes beats like these should check out Jimi productionz and his song called Make em lean. It would be perfect for Talib Kweli.
