This caught my attention…..
I think Talib Kweli is one of the greatest MCs ever AND he is Hip Hop…. but I can’t agree here. I respect his opinion and I see what he is saying with “the grew up and raised differently” view, but that does not mean Lil’ Wayne should be considered good Hip Hop. I realize Wayne sells because many people don’t care much for lyrics and they want that catchy hook and beat. I can respect the hustle and money making strategy… I just can’t respect the “Greatest of All Time” claim. STOP THAT.
I totally agree with his comment, “If you don’t like it, don’t fuckin listen to it”. I LIVE by that theory. That is why, til this day, I never heard Dr. Carter. But, after I watched this, and he called it one of the greatest rap songs he ever heard, I went ahead and YouTubed it. NOT impressed at all…. AT ALL.
So, Kweli, if you liked Dr. Carter so much…. you will LOVE this mix of great Hip Hop.
Common, Mos Def, Black Thought, Saigon, Chino XL, Talib Kweli
