@SJALORBLOCKZ Heaven is a metaphor for ecstasy, and hell for suffering. They are two sides of the same thing which exists in the hearts of men. Emotion, you want to find it? Look inside, and see God.
It's encouraging to see someone look at religion from a logical and historical perspective. It gives hope that in this new era, people are looking towards themselves, rather than an oppressive ideology for answers and love.

Despite all the criticism about today's hiphop artists, there still exists some talent worth listening. But it is still so rare to find a gem like kweli where he flows so naturally and passionately. Perhaps his distinguishing feature is that he rhymes with so much depth and meaning.
For those Talib Kweli fans who live in Southern California I have tickets to see him LIVE on Nov. 25th in Santa Ana for sale, they are only $20 and they are legit.

Jesus was labeled the king of the Jews but that doesn't discredit who he was (Gods Son) and what he lived to do (Die on the cross for our sins). No where in the bible does it say hate Muslims and i sure don't. Yes politicians have and will push Christianity on people and they have even killed those who denied it but that is no reflection of God who doesn't push anything on us because he a true gentlemen. But he does makes it clear there is only one way to him...through jesus!!

@paleriderhater he has been consistent with bringing "real" hip hop to the masses, but mainstream neglects to put anything out that doesn't fall in line with the ignorant outlook ex. cars, clothes, and hoes
every now and then theres a big hype over some over rated rapper and i remember when talib was coming up there was a big noise surrounding his name as 1 of the few rappers whose capable of saving hip hop wit bringing the essence of what hip hop is about wit cauntiousness that up lifts its people wit hope 4 the bleak life there surrounded by and am fraud 2 say talib has not kept up[ the work rate which bought him 2 prominece as if he did we b hearing a lot more albums from him we need him bac

To be honest, every person is entitled to a belief and a point of view, why are some beliefs discriminated against and stereotypes made? Why is it that hate has become spread on every corner across the planet? Why can't we as humans live and leave other beliefs alone? Are we going to die if we keep the hatred inside... or not hate at all? Think about it.
Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Common, Black Thought & Pharoahe Monch never cease to amaze me with their consciously driven subject matter and lyrical talent. Support real Hip Hop!
Well said. Im not one for trying to get anyone to commit to my views and most people I cherish will say the same. That's why I never tried to convince anyone on my views or anyone elses.

Christianity does not promote hatred towards other religions. Read Romans 14, However I do agree that for any religion that they are selfish people that claim to do things in the name of God.
Anyway for whatever God or Gods you believe in peace and much love to ya.
hey i would really appreciate if you were to check out my channel im just a rapper that's trying to make it and give people good quality music to feel and listen to
if only spoken word was delivered in this way...All the (US) spoken word artists sound/deliver so sameish and generic too me, it's almost like a monotone their voices
@dxc5698 I know his is good, but I guess were talking in the subjective sense of the word. I just believe Kanye's arrogance and personality in general give him that necessary push over a more humble figure like Talib, i.m.h.o
@Akinwale1 I know what you're saying. ya ya Talib is getting his just dues and respect he deserves.. it just says something when one man displays such humility in his craft and the other is up on stage interrupting awards ceremonies. there two different people and I guess its reflected in their artform and fame
There is no one right religion in reality. They way to be at peace and balance is to acknowledge them all and live with them. All this rivalry and dispute is what causes wars and violence. Swallow your pride and look at the bigger picture which is to love one another.
I forgot where I got it from but there is a quote that goes, "Religion is for those who are afraid to go to hell. Spiritual is for those who been there and back."
@alexlanderos43 The way to be at peace and balance is to be willing to acknowledge them all and live with them. Loving one another is a result, not the bigger picture.
Going from accepting all in the hopes that you might get into some omni-religious communal eternal paradise to realizing that while even though on the surface they all seem to want the same thing that they all have different ideas of what that actually is and how to get there is another step of enlightenment. That's faith.

This is some brilliant spoken poetry. I've definitely been missing out on his talent.
"If we are all made in God's image than that means his face is mine" --- beautifully simple.
His discourse is poetry. His thoughts and hurts beget rhymes and words.

New artists should learn from Talib Kweli. Only news artists even remotely near this talent level are Fuze the Mc , J.Cole, and Kendrick Lamar.

Wow! This guy is intelligent and DEEP!
To be honest, every person is entitled to a belief and a point of view, why are some beliefs discriminated against and stereotypes made? Why is it that hate has become spread on every corner across the planet? Why can't we as humans live and leave other beliefs alone? Are we going to die if we keep the hatred inside... or not hate at all? Think about it.

Christianity does not promote hatred towards other religions. Read Romans 14, However I do agree that for any religion that they are selfish people that claim to do things in the name of God.
Anyway for whatever God or Gods you believe in peace and much love to ya.

@dxc5698 I know his is good, but I guess were talking in the subjective sense of the word. I just believe Kanye's arrogance and personality in general give him that necessary push over a more humble figure like Talib, i.m.h.o
its often the case with this world, is it not.

There is no one right religion in reality. They way to be at peace and balance is to acknowledge them all and live with them. All this rivalry and dispute is what causes wars and violence. Swallow your pride and look at the bigger picture which is to love one another.

@alexlanderos43 The way to be at peace and balance is to be willing to acknowledge them all and live with them. Loving one another is a result, not the bigger picture.
Going from accepting all in the hopes that you might get into some omni-religious communal eternal paradise to realizing that while even though on the surface they all seem to want the same thing that they all have different ideas of what that actually is and how to get there is another step of enlightenment. That's faith.
