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

[Tribal Outkast]

He’s not one of my favorites but he ain’t that bad.. the thread funny though

 

[Saint1]

I whole heartedly agree

I always hated talib. Dude overrated as fukk

Name one rapper who had open access to madlibs catalog n made a dud.

Doom. Classic
Gibbs. Classic
Quas got a better album
Percee p git a better madlib album lol

Mos def gave him life. Hi tek gsve him a career.

Plus hes corny in real life

Broke it down to a T.


I used to think Kweli was dope. But man trying to listen to that shyt now is a chore.
We go through episodes too like attack of the clones

i remember he got into it with a cac on twitter and the cac said “20 years rapping and you still havent hit one snare”

Talib was just at the right place at the right time in the 90s/00s. I want a Talib less version of the blackstar album so bad

 

[Cloutius Maximus]

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

TOT > BOBS

I respect you bro but this is a blasphemous opinion

BOBS top 10/20 rap albums of all time.

 

[Budda]

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.

 

[KingsOfKings]

Pure jokes

 

[Yinny]

Valley Boy Talib be like, like, like

 

[KingsOfKings]

Classic thread.

Kweli you trash!!!! You see me, youuuu trashhhhh!!!

you ruined the respiration you trash goofy!!

 

[IWasntMadeToPlayTheSon]

Nah, thats either Nore or Juelz breh

Nah they got charisma tho...silk and talib have none of that

 

[Heavy_Handz]

Talib just always had a lot to say so he was cramming a lot of lyrics into his bars but he still was on beat for the most part. He definitely didn’t ruin Respiration

 

[Take It In Blood]

Hate all u want but BlackStar is a top 20 hip-hop album of all time and of any era

 

[LevelUp]

It's like he's gradually gotten worse over the yrs
