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

all 3 are known to rap way off beat..

so.. going by OP.. yes, you can.. :comeon:

Naw they aren't - Talib isn't known for that, or at least it's not admitted.

East coast rappers be gettin' a pass for not being on beat - like it's cool if they do it, but it's "weird" coming from other regions.

I don't know if I'd call Talib wack, but the further away from the Rawkus era and the further away he's gone from his original collaborators, the less and less I've liked him.

:yeshrug:

He's been picking terrible beats, whining and "clapping back" on Twitter, and just generally gives off a whiney and corny aura.

And this is coming from someone who would, at least at some point, consider himself a really big Kweli fan.

At this point I've just stopped listening to new Kweli. His last 2-3 projects have been subpar, and not just in comparison to his own catalogue, but in general. Subpar, semi-professional backpack rap, which is amongst the worst sub-genre of rap there is.

Nothing worse than a rapper with a message rapping off beat on beats made by what sounds like fans living in their grandparents basements.

Talib has been known for that for almost 2 decades.. :mindblown:

whatever else you're rambling about, has nothing to do with what I said..

You nikkas just gotta look cool. Talib is dope and there is nothing wrong with his flow.

And he had the beat verse on the classic Respiration

Get you capped like an NBA salary :banderas:

Best verse on respiration?

Are you fukking nuts bro?

Seriously?

Easily the worst verse. Dude has worse rhythm than a cac at a polka party.

Mos ate him on respiration. Talib damn NEAR ruins the song.

Talib would be lucky to be in a group like sunz of man and hed prolly be worst member.

His hip hop dont even register with me. Zero connection

Plus after 4th disciple shyt on takib i was done
