Talib Kweli: Hot Thing
Here is a Hip-Hop/Rap piece with lyrical content and substance, catchy word play but substantial in rich volume. It is reminiscent of great poetry, consistency is the key to this artist and his ability to stay in the mix.
Talib Kweli maintains his backpacker role in the hip hop game, but I must tell you and he will as well, he is no back packer or mad rapper. His ability to formulate a set of ideas into poignant and relevant speech, is one of the many reasons, you should have went over to Itunes and purchased,maybe taken some time out of your shopping at the mall and hit up FYE or your local record store and placed this into your collection.
Talib Kweli is one of the few artist that will give you a glimpse into what his genre of Music is about. Hip Hop, was and is always going to be a voice. However its voice is being drowned out due to sickness, such as irrelevant content and careless attitudes about nothing.
"Super man that Hoe" Soulja Boy, your repetitious babble for our listening pleasure, does not equate to Hip Hop, it is drool over a great beat, and the beat was good.
Enjoy this video and remember that if you like or love Rap and Hip Hop, then support it, there's a big differentiating gap between good music and a scheme to make money.
* Note to Soulja Boy,: Now that you have the money coming in, this is your chance to go from making comedy to making a worthwhile award worthy, critically acclaimed piece; be fluid in what you do, and your career will last longer. Gimmicks don't pay bills forever.
