talib kweli and bomani at it on twitter.

[Mike Otherz]

While Meek Mill didn’t make his way to Funk Flex’s radio show as planned, there was another event taking up Rap Twitter’s attention. Talib Kweli and ESPN personality Bomani Jones tweeted a whole lot of words about the latter’s feelings towards the former over a two hour period. Accusations of subtweeting, shade and general disrespect were abound.

It all started with a random, innocent tweet.

Bomani had a strong opinion about this.

Talib found this disrespectful.


This tweet from 2009 was then brought to Talib’s attention.

He was not pleased.

Someone then explained to Talib how subtweeting works. He still didn’t appreciate the sentiment.

Bomani, for his part, stuck to his guns.

And we’ve learned a new lesson in Twitter etiquette.

Talib then closed with the following set of tweets.

Which seemed fine by Bomani.

So remember folks, if you’re going to disrespect someone on social media, be ready to answer for your opinion directly.

Just scooping up extra first page space on a future rafters thread.

 

[dubs]

Talib can't even tweet one of his bars.

Not nearly enough characters.

 

[Paper Boi]

i'm not gonna read all that. talib kweli is mad because another grown man prefers a different rapper? sounds petty.

 

[Fallacy]

lol Why is Talib in his feelings over someones opinion of him? Does he hold Bomani's opinion in high regard? Are they friends? Why waste 2 hours arguing over this bullshyt?

 

[thirdeye]

So Talib upset over an opinion. Ok.

To nikkas sayin Talib is mad over an opinion. It's not as simple as that. Bomani took it past that and into the realm of disrespect.

 

[spliz]

what is the argument over?

The nikka said everyone in the world knows Big Boi is better than Talib Kweli. Something to that effect.

 

[Grizzly]

Bomani needs to learn how to give an opinion without coming off like such pretentious fakkit and Talib needs to stop using the word "shade."

The nikka said everyone in the world knows Big Boi is better than Talib Kweli. Something to that effect.

yeah, that is true.
if big boi, never became the highest selling ramped up skill group member in rap history.
talib could possibly have some type of foothold in that argument.
yet, big boi did ramp up and also has a higher output in quality of song as a solo artist than kweli.
plus, big boi, ramped up and solidified his skill set first completely.
before partaking in a solo career.
whereas talib rode the coattails of mos and a production quality vet in hi Tec From mood.
where he never carried the hi Tec production in the same manner as big boi carried his production team.
