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

[Ronnie Lott]

remember when people used to pretend he was just as ill as Mos Def, if not iller?! Looking back on those struggle convos

Talib isn't terrible. He has some dope tracks. He's got a good pen game. His voice is a lil questionable but depending on his flow and the beat he can still sound good.

Mos would body him on every track. I know Mos used to be lookin at this nikka record in the studio like

 

[IronFist]

he does go off beat sometimes but not silk the shocker off beat

this.

 

[Ronnie Lott]

............Talib ripped those tracks lyrically and flow wise

What "flow" He was all off beat and it's not even debatable.

 

[H.S.]

Talib used to be overrated, but he's probably underrated at this point. Rap fans have been shytting on dude relentlessly for the last decade.

OP ain't saying nothing controversial.

TOT > BOBS

Yeah man! I never understood it. My boys would SWEAR that Talib kept up or was just as nice. Mos bodied him 90% of the time.

I think the Talib slander is a lil much. Dude definitely has classic songs. "Memories Live" is crazy. "Move Somethin", "Holy Moly", "Love Language", "The Blast", his verse on "The Truth"....

Nah not sometimes...he go off beat A LOT.
