Since Frost's been talking about Soulja Boy and Everywoman expressed her love and distaste for certain music, I wanted to post a song that kinda addresses both issues. In MrFrost's posts, there have been discussion about why vets (Ice-T mostly) feel the need to blame Soulja Boy for the fall of the industry, whether or not their in the right, and the real pitfalls for Hip Hop. Imeverywoman posted a general statement about how she respects, but doesn't necessarily like (... MORE

Although it's a little depressing, this is a great song. I'm glad Talib is still making visuals for "Ear Drum" even though the album fell off of the charts long ago. He and Lupe Fiasco have been really good about making videos for fan-favorite tracks on their albums. check the lyrics... My rhymes got nutritional value

Man, this is a track that off of a mixtape I picked up a couple years ago, but lost track of. First time I heard Jean Grae. Love the beat on this one. Kweli's flow is nice as always, but Jean Grae rips it in half!

Exclusive new video from LOUD.com for the track The Perfect Beat from Talib Kweli’s 2007 LP Eardrum.

Busting out the big guns for this edition of Hip-Hop Thursday... usually for songs that I love as is, I don't love the remixes, especially the ones that featuring a ton of different artists. This is an exception. They keep the original classic beat from the song and some of the better known hip-hop acts are featured... And a really cool video featuring Dave Chappelle/De La Soul, etc on some of the "behind the scenes" stuff from the making of Talib's & Hi-Tek's classic ... MORE

It was refreshing to go back a take a listen to Talib Kweli's Quality LP yesterday. Back in '02 this was his solo debut as the "keynote speaker" as Dave Chapelle refers to him a guest spot on the plate's intro as TK gets down to business. Kweli sets it off with the show starter “Rush” followed by “Get By”, a churchical ode to survival which seemed prescient on the 1st anniversary of all that Katrina shite and that's word, son. The next track, “Shock Body”, is a battle-sty... MORE

This song served as my intro to Talib Kweli. I've been searching him out on MOG and the more I hear the more I like. Love the chorus and the verses and the snaps and the keys and the little flutey thing goin on. This is catchy as the common cold.

get right back up

I hope this mid-March Monday finds errbody doin well. I know that's not the case, but good vibes don't hurt. I know some of y'all probably already heard it, but here's Kweli's remix for Hostile Gospel. ONE
This track gets murdered by Mr. MCEO himself, Joell Ortiz AND Blu... No mercy on this one.
Really, I've been tryin to get this up since Sat, but oh well. There's a few more tracks I'll try to get to out there later. Stay up.

I know I'm probably the last person to see this video, but I just caught it for the first time this morning. I think they did a great job.

This one's hot of the presses, maybe it's not completely finished because Warner is aggressively taking it down all over the internet. In any event, the song is called Hot Thang and the video completely rips off the Motion Theory styled ads (you might have seen them in HP commercials). Talib's new album Ear Drum hits shelves August 21st.

Even though Talib Kweli just released Eardrum, which is turning out to be his most successful solo album, he's already looking ahead to future projects. Kweli says he feels as if he's entering the third stage of his career, where business and music are working in harmony."I look at the first part, as being a rapper on Rawkus and being excited to be around," he said, "and just wanting people to know I rhyme. And the second part was trying to take control of my career an... MORE

Just heard this remix. This was one of the weaker songs on the album, in my opinion, but I like the remix.
