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

[feelosofer]

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.

This.

 

[Lord Mecca]

been saying this forever... he's always trying to cram too many words into each bar... never been a super fan but always supported him up until Eardrum because of my nikka Mos Def.

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

You're very wrong on all accounts... and getting capped like an NBA Salary is a Papoose-esque line.

nikka said nothing is wrong with his flow

 

[Mr. Negative]

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

 

[Ghpstface]

same can be said for E-40..

E40 is entertaining and real as fukk though...off beat as he may be


Can't say the same for kweli

 

[Jimmy ValenTime]

"Hey, guys! Now I know we don't talk about this rapper, much at all, but, join it with me hating on him"

Rep pending

 

[ThaRealness]

He goes a lil off beat, but makes up for it lyrically

 

[Chris Cool]

Fact. imagine u link a bytch for the first time n pick her up playing e40

bytch gon thro herself out the whip on some gucci shyt

What kinda square ass bytches you fukking with? Hoes love e-40.

 

[Jimmy ValenTime]

ear drum my fav album of his cause it was his best flow through a whole project

mos def use to do some of the black star songs by himself during shows and he finesses talib lines better then talib would emphasis certain words / drop word out or two etc

new york rapper of a certain era are more about the words then the flow

mega doom talib

its just a style

E40 is entertaining and real as fukk though...off beat as he may be


Can't say the same for kweli

E40 is a snorefest and his style is corny.

[MeachTheMonster]

Okay....

I like both, they are the total opposite.

E40 fun entertaining flow, light on content

Kweli great content, mediocre flow.


Silk the shocker. Absolutely shytty flow, even worse content

 

[Zero]

Breh, some shyt from that album does not hold up AT ALL



This beat is now
