Can we stop acting like Talib Kweli isn't the Silk the Shocker of the East coast

Doom. Classic
Gibbs. Classic

I used to think Kweli was dope. But man trying to listen to that shyt now is a chore.

i agree with a lot of what was said. kweli was the worst on respiration but he didnt "almost ruin the song".

BUT at the end of the day he still made 2000 Seasons


"i'm not a human being gettin on some spiritual shyt
A spiritual being manifested as a human, thas it"

yes Hi-Tek is equally responsible for the quality of the music but the music is still quality. I've rocked with Train of Thought since I was a teenager and a lot of the songs hit even harder as you get older and gain more experience.

I'm not checking for a new Talib album in 2021 cuz like someone else said he makes subpar backpack music with mid beats. But that doesnt make Train of Thought any less of a classic. I'm not checking for a new Juvenile album either but that doesnt make 400 Degreez any less of a classic

I think his flow ain’t bad not everyone can rap or should flow the same, some of the greatest rappers of all time be off beat then catch it, that’s part of the allure a lot of the times.

Nas Ghost Mf Doom all this at certain points.
