Talib Kweli - Better Businessman

[ThePrez3000]

common sense

[Gjkl345]

Ahh, rappers that will never be as popular as Souja Boy simply because they didn't fucking sell-out for a quick high. Funny how youths need to traverse youtube to actually run past the banners full of advertisement-over-quality rappers to see true shit.

[AmandaNicole72891]

He's so sexy! ;)

[esconyfinest]

yoo I would love to see a collaboration with Az, Nas, Kweli, and maybe Cormega they would make history in Hip Hop that joint would be priceless

[jaymitch23]

@esconyfinest

Az, Nas, Kweli, and Jay Electronica.

[esconyfinest]

@jaymitch23 yeaa yo that'll be Ill and we could throw in Termanology too

[MikeFromNewYork]

I like your thoughts Talib. i too have been very analog & in my 40s, but the last couple years have been better for me networking wise, as a result of digitally consolidating all my connections & ideas.

still lovin ur music man!

.m.

[atennis55]

yall need to quit talkin bout weezy, he dont even deserve to be talked on kweli's profile

[blackice98]

to the dude under me thats a dam good point. i hate weezy and all that shit. heputs out a good sound to get ppl to like him again than comes out with some other b.s. song

[thefloatingpankakes]

the truth is people like the mainstream shit because theyre afraid of broadaning their horizons, or mabie just to fit in

[royalnash]

most rappers dont sell thats why i like lil wayne he has street credibilty and he is selling millions

[Neeks4215]

but he's not a good rapper... record sales shouldnt even be a factor lol

[DjLooN]

he lost all cred when kissed baby on the LIPS fag. and hes not a blood fucking all of a sudden hes banging like hes from Cali

[warhero23]

hahahaha Get'em

[MistaWordz]

@royalnash

what kinda street cred is this????? Drake got more street cred than that nigga and he softer than cotton...but anywayz...I agree wit' da nigga that said that that lame ass nigga'z name shouldn't even be disgracin' Kweli'z page...

[indefinitequest]

yeah, exactly and well he puts out a lot of songs so people scrutinize his lyrics and deliver more than others.

[Milkybuns]

the reason he doesn't sell is because he is real, and if they digested his message then there wouldn't be a problem.

[ramostar]

I don't know how Talib doesnt get recognition for his work.... He should be selling millions of albums. He's better than almost every rapper out now. And he doesn't spit BS. Its all real... Talib is def. very underrated.

Keep it Kweli...

[daveibukun]

you the man Talib.

[spektakk]

talib iz the mann with the best floe and beats kant beat him.. he uses words tht no1 else thnks of ptting in.

[bucktoofus]

niggaz iz l33t n shit

[sanmuhammad]

Intelligent Brother.

check my vids........

[NuksuiArt]

"We need a black man, whos down in da hood, and can represent technology to them ghetto folk who know nothin about fancy internet gizmos.."

"How bout Talib Kweli?"

"Come now Johnson, we dont appeal to muslims"

"He's a popular hip-hop artist."

"Talib Kweli it is!"

[dntbehtn]

You're a fucking dumb ass faggot.

[nd00360]

I admit my last comment was totally lame as it was not gramatically correct.I know that there is an option of flagging comments that are inappropriate.Thanks for your input! However, I believe that your comment about using spell check and buying a English primer is totally condesending and fucking rude.I never knew that comments were being graded on English and gramatical errors.Maybe you should lighten up!its only youtube..

[nd00360]

i think u should shut thaa fuck up dude!!! i didnt i was being graded on my english literacy fuck face!

[nd00360]

wow cant believe how racist ppl are on here!!!!talib is an amazing emcee!!

[Manimal347]

Ah, this shit's quite tame. Yes, Youtube has a generic, "we don't accept anything hateful, illegal, harmful to minors) .etc AUP, but they either don't give it credence or don't have enough moderators to actively police anything but video posts and responses. If things both offend you and violate Youtube's AUP, just flag it and tag it as spam. Also, please add spell-checking facilities to your browser and buy a primer on English grammar.

[dangoldberg4hit]

I hate NIGGERS!!

[123celindion]

I hate assholes whodont no good clean rap

[mymanjay]

Talib Kwali is probably the most underrated.

[blakaxx88]

@mymanjay 2nd.....canibus

[ThaSubzstance]

@mymanjay hes not underrated, everybody who knows him knows hes the GOAT. the word for kweli is underappreciated, because this educated man is actually speaking on relevant topic, even to this day, with that new track ballad of the black gold and many other. I hope one day sociatey will once again appreciate real music.

[livininsun84]

WHO is THAT guy HE Is Gfunny

[teeads1]

Keepn it real and simple wins the race.

[midcityfiesta]

cheers

[MrJ4ck]

Eminem's a great rapper because he's powerful and clever..

Talib is incredible too, he definitely said it right when he said "I keep it real."

[pauloricardoherpich]

orrível

[stiqman]

He HORNISEZ and YOUDALIZES technology. Know what he's sayin?

[RexLaboro]

stigman, he means he's richer than you and your racist broke father. THATS what that means.

[stiqman]

im black. but yes im still racist. actually more of a snob. it isnt his business practices that made him rich. its people like you buying his music. he should HORNIS his money and go to class.

[RexLaboro]

I don't buy his music. Matter of fact, I can't remember the last time I bought a CD. I think it was the KINGDOM COME album. Anyway, who pronounces the word utilize and sounds out the T? Why reach when you can go to a mike jones or solja boy video and correct some real fucked up communication skills. You know Talib ain't stupid.

[chilidoggingfool]

this guy is a nerd

[pointsur]

this guy is smart, and intelligent. who gives a @#$! if he is a nerd. he makes good music. there's nothing cool about being a thug.

[nimibiantribesman]

youre a faggot. go listen to your abaybay shit you dumb motherfucker

[danbo88]

that nerd writes some good music

[patilpazzo]

talib's the best!!!

[rc0609]

but eminem does have something to offer when you cop his album? but an intelligent black man has nothing to offer?

[KillaAllstar]

eminem is a good rapper best there is i wouldn't say but he does offer more than most black rappers especially from the south not hatin on the south cuz like the south has very few good artist that are lyrical but i would say that eminem is better than most southern artist and most other artist but not better than nas

[rc0609]

i agree with you he is not better than nas. actually i was respondin to a white guy who said blacks have nothing positive to offer in hiphop. so i responded and eminem does when he is a very negative rapper (em is a good lyricist). that was the just of it.

[GoddessOfMafia]

hip hop is dead cuz of nas for real

[rc0609]

are you being sarcastic? if you are not i just have one thing to say, BITCH STFU!! stupid ass cunt

[JCantarutti91]

yeah you're fucking stupid

[JCantarutti91]

Talking bout GoddessOfMafia's comment

[rc0609]

i was referring to the GoddessOfMafia

[rekrul]

wow and lame bitch ass sell outs like tpain and a lot of other mainstream rappers got nothin to do with it? nas is the truth and knows his roots. you have no idea what youre saying

[pimpinho3z]

Nas owns your life GoddessofHoes

[alen209]

hip hop has been ded only underground rapper spit truth

[joegar317]

Never did I say that an academic education or having teachers for parents guarantee a smart child. I simply pointed out that he didn't flunk out of any High school and doesn't seem like a dumb fucker like loconosta said. So read a little more carefully next time before taking my words out of context.

[dakabramamutra42]

Word!

[rumcaps]

Talib is corny!

[DanjaVids]

talib is fucken tite and he in my opinion is one of the few great MC's we have and when i mean mc i mean MC not no trah rappers rappin about the cliche's and shit like new dances and money and cars fuck that what ever happen to spittin to something real? nas' quote is true but there still a few good hip hop artist in my opinion nas, talib, krs-one(if he still rapped), and lupe

[knowledgegs]

well in your opinion but theres other kinds of rap, an there are still good rappers who rap bout real shiet an money/bitches, gangster rap for one some of that shit they spit is real, its how they grew up, an they spittin bout they life an how they live, just cause your life aint like theres dont mean it aint real, like cassidys song innocent man, thats some real shit

[mrpower328]

To bad that most black radio stations don't really give respect to rappers like this. Most black radio stations prefer to play bounce, crunk, gangster, and rap without substance. The black youth today is in a very bad condition.

[JackDaRipper87]

co-sign, i havent listened to the raido in years....

[immaking1]

It's very true...mainstream hip-hop is so garbage an artist like Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Common, Lupe Fiasco along with others don't get enough air time on the radio. Now everytime I turn on the radio I have to listen to a new dance from soulja or Lil Wayne...as Nas said hip-hop is dead

[mrpower328]

Now thats right on point. A lot of those trash rappers was so upset with Nas for saying hip hip is dead. But as they say, the truth hurts. When Nas said hip hop is dead, he cut them with sharp sword.

[KRSONE4LIFE]

I liked Talib before, when he was rollin with Mos Def, but when he gave his voice to Trane in Getting up, I said: Shit this dude knows somethin. Waaaaaay Good MC. Keep it up Kweli!! U're one of the remaining ARTISTS in hip hop community

[KingUVDJungle]

The common goal of 22 million Afro-Americans is respect as human beings, the God-given right to be a human being. Our common goal is to obtain the human rights that America has been denying us. We can never get civil rights in America until our human rights are first restored. We will never be recognized as citizens there until we are first recognized as humans."

-- "Racism: the Cancer that is Destroying America," in Egyptian Gazette (Aug. 25 1964).

[dubberdubs]

C'mon you sound like it's the 60's (what does that have to do with Talib's business anyway?). We're all human and have our rights. Most people are too lazy to care. We have to realize in this day an age that what's going down is the government is laughing at ALL of us who pay taxes and they could care less about any of us and any of the juvenile-minded mentality like that. It's to sway us from what's really going down. We have to get ready and be open-minded now, especially for the new times.

[KingUVDJungle]

catthemuban is stupid sa fuck. basically what he saying is that the only way for you to be a relevant artist is to have a hot beat. dude you a clown. do everybody a favor and dont write anymore. YOU ARE REMEDIAL!!!!

[cattthemuban]

i thought the year of the blacksmith was last year

so if you wanna keep bein a hot artist

i suggest you hook up with kanye again and make antoher joint that'll be as hot as get by

[mcberry24]

ay bitch don diss my man kweli lik that

[Tanner3000]

00:23 ha ha ha

[hrdtxs]

For all of you posting comments in regards to why people come to this site, view videos with black people and make racist comments, its because they can... Its anonymous, they can hide behind a screen name and pretend to be a billy bad ass behind closed doors and say or do things they would never do in real life...Just deal with it, its not gonna change...

[JuliousMcNeese]

I bet Talib is more educated than you

[GRYDE2000]

Im sure hes a lot more successful too

[badgerdogcatmouse]

@JuliousMcNeese Yeah I think he studied theater at NYU. Also his brother's a constitutional law professor at Columbia.

[dkm07305]

you really are a dick head loconosta, shut up

[mcberry24]

fukin hoe

[skyler2dope]

Talib Kweli said 50snitch is gay

[jexxigirl]

hehe this is amazing! I didn't know that you could time travel through Youtube...how did you do it blatantly racist early man???

[snowliion108]

WHy do you come on these sites if you don't like black people. Words that are written and voiced have a huge power beyond the mind you use bad words to hurt people. Two Blacks will never get the chance to go back to Africa if they have no money to get there so heres how you solve that problem. Three do you believe in god i am sure he does not care much for racism

[joegar317]

And go back to banging your cousin or mother or sister or whoever your dad isn't banging.

[Limekiln71]

I am truly amazed. A guy makes a couple comments about technology, and the racist come out of the woodwork. Truly amazing!

[rc0609]

it's white people you talkin about. what more do you expect from them. that is just the way MOST of them are.

[demobiliza]

Happy new year people. I'm kinda gettin like that with my phone too. Talib, i was at your show in Melbourne Australia, and you did a great job.

PEACE

[Swiftman13]

unfortunately for you, Talib is more successful then you will ever be. And he isn't a nigger, you are the nigger.

[loconosta]

where did this dumb fucker flunk out of high school? Jersey or South Miami?

[joegar317]

Hmmm, let's see. He graduated from Cheshire Academy in Connecticut. His mother was an english professor and his father a sociology professor. Sounds to me like he's pretty smart and you're the dumb fucker.

[25seda25]

???

[CLRF2]

New Blackstar album?

[druha10304]

i like the old shit only BLACKSTAR the rest of his and mos def's shit is wack

[lico36]

i fuck your mom //////

[joshie24]

Kweli kicks ass

[trippin4]

damn he used some big words

[AhNeedMunay]

listen to kweli when he first started out. reflection eternal is THE sickest CD i've ever heard in my life, i loved every single track on that cd . . . .with the exception of Big Del From Da Natti, hahaha. kweli and hi-tek killed it with that. and his song The Manifesto is the sickest song i've ever heard in my life.

[sockwald]

Talib is an okay MC, just because he doesn't rhyme about money cash and hoes doesn't mean he's all that. His album has 1 or 2 songs that I appreciate, but that's just my personal opinion.

[eaglestriker24]

you are dumber than a piece of shit!

cocksucker... say that shit in public bitch... whats that? you can't, OHH then STFU!

[sharondawbb]

their conditiions must be hereditery(SP)

[navisirus]

thanks talib, for everything you do.

[dokedyaunhe]

you are a fuckin fool. its people like you that are bring this country down. i cant wait till Obama becomes president and you are lead by a man that you dispise, so for at least 4 years you will hate everyday of your life.

[yohonisburg]

he starts to "harness and utilize the technology"..maybe it's the way he says it, or the hat, or..some sort of pretension. But..he's really not a good example and he seems nice and not conceited and makes sense.

I was just annoyed at the moment and he was the final tiny straw

[yohonisburg]

all the rappers are buffoons when they speak.

[mizzphilly60]

What was so bufoonish about his speech? Be a little more clear, because I understood everything he was saying.

[775hiteenaa]

they said a lot of puerto ricans are half black because their kind of brown skin is honey looking like a beautiful black girl

[hillscottc]

Puerto Rico, like the rest of the Carribean countries, is populated by people who are descended from African slaves.

[wwp1989]

看不明白

[devcolbert]

cool

[wRecK18]

your gay you suck

[curtisc804]

his cd is tight

[maevadumena]

T.K. you always did like them puerto rican lookn chicks!!

[zanjanestan]

Sound like a dinosaur! That's dope. I love Talib cause he's hiphop. No body can touch him in having maintained pure hiphop legacy since genesis. Peace

[iktubeniet]

It appears he has gained weight, he looks like a frog. Great mc though

[bcbcbcbudsbudsbuds]

its the yeear of the blaaaacksmith

[coMpLekS1]

talib for prez

[devastatind]

damn! i was just thinkin' the same thing, Talib for President!! (lol).......... he's extremely-intelligent!!

[Fuckyou9times]

The new album ear drum is nice.

[capslock86]

His name means "student" in Arabic, that is very true. This guy is a very wise man.

[trippychild]

hahahahaha

Much respect to Kweli, keep it up bro

Love, from NZ

[sarah87k]

I love you Talib <3

[WWProductions62]

yo talib, i saw you live at the U. you were good man but your reaction when the speakers turned off was like u were pissed at the fans for it...weak. it was during what i thought was your best song of the night, remake of beatles lonely people

[imishungry]

you must be a real good cocksucker...what trailer park are you from, so me and my boys can get a taste?

[oneluvsun]

very good!

[ollyuzr]

hahahaha !!!

[mrcrews]

you must live in a trailer park or lonely or both get a life

[jaypay09]

talib kweli is one of the most realist rappers out there today

[dazzelya]

I want to know why they are all so damn short.

[ilovebutterfingers]

y is everyone making these videos?

[becky45328]

They're made for the fans, and this is a video website after all...
