Talib Kweli – Push Thru Feat. Curren$y & Kendrick Lamar

Posted by Baseer Ahmad - July 19, 2012

Talib’s newest single from his upcoming Prisoner of Consciousness album is certainly one of his most unique ones to date. Spitta leads you in with his trademarked deceptively sleepy-eyed flow, while the energy continues to intensify until you reach the final verse featuring Kendrick’s stream-of-consciousness, spitfire flow. While the two youngsters’ styles greatly contrast each other, Talib is able to balance things out enough to make sure everything sounds perfect.

[Hip-Hop] Das Racist & Talib Kweli – The Actual

Posted by Ash El Gamal - July 11, 2012

Two NYC legends link up for a showcase of east coast lyricism. Das Racist has one of the most unique sounds of anyone making rap music and on this track Heems, one half of the group, goes off with his stream-of-consciousness flow. We already know what to expect from Brooklyn MC Talib Kweli, who spits effortlessly over the classic, horn-driven production. A must listen for anyone who thinks hip-hop is a dying genre.

[Hip/Hop] Talib Kweli – Gutter Rainbows (Album Review)

Posted by inyourspeakers - March 3, 2011

If Rakim is your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper, and Jay-Z is New York’s native son, where does that leave Talib Kweli? He’s the socially conscious, forever-underground guy, continually burned by the rap “game”, or, the money game — where lyrical talent and flow take backseats to branding, image, and monetizing talent.

But Talib carries his burdens well. He does what he wants to do, fuck all, and in the end, we’re the ones who benefit, especially when it comes to Gutter Rainbows. The latest from the BK MC has a few stumbles, but mostly gems. Gutter Rainbows was released January 25th. Read the full review here.
