KweliDia

Let me start off by saying that I’m a fan of both of these artists. I’ve been a fan of Talib since the Soundbombing days and a fan of Diabolic’s after that Fightin’ Words LP. That being said, this “battle” that is going on between them is a product of social media. Twitter has given people the power to communicate with millions of people from the luxury of your own home, car, office, etc. With this power comes great responsibility. You can’t go on Twitter and disrespect someone and not expect a reaction. Diabolic accused Talib of of generalizing his views of white rappers and Talib called him a bitch. This is where the Twitter conversation should have ended. Instead, Diabolic made threats toward Kweli and they went back and forth for days. Talib penned an open letter about the situation and then diss tracks were made. What would Freddie Foxxx do in this situation? Would he make threats on twitter? NO! He’d be on your doorstep within hours and the problem would be solved. The point of my post is this, Let’s not make threats on twitter…..make music. Hopefully these two can keep this in the music and get past this. Perhaps meet in person and discuss the problem instead of arguing in front of millions.

Here are the diss tracks from Diabolic and Talib Kweli. Listen.

Uncalled for…..totally uncalled for.

Go to Twitter for support the only weapon you have
But I don’t care about those kids like Mos Def as a dad – Diabolic

I know you mad that I top so many white people’s favorite list, I’d go to one of your shows but they don’t fucking exist! – Talib Kweli
