So your Kanye West about to put out your first album and you put somebody you wholeheartedly feel in your heart and soul is WACK on the album??!?! Does that make sense? Does that sound like “visionary perfectionist” Kanye West to you?
And how could Black Star be one of the greatest albums all of time if a wack MC is literally 50% of the album?!?! Again that makes no sense.
Kanye was straight up capin. Say what you will about Talib Kweli but him being a wack MC isn’t one of those things. And Kanye is ON WAX thanking him personally for inspiring his OWN craftsmanship.
You gave your thoughts and I Piggy backed off yours to give mine, truth be told it's 2 sides of the story and we are outside looking in and we giving our opinions. Ye and Talib is the only one that knows, we heard Ye say what he say so we can wait for Ye.
When you think of Black Star album everyone talks about Most Def and The Production, Talib is an after thought, come man this ain't the first time you hear this what Kanye was saying. shyt the cats from Freestyle Fellowship said the something that It was Mos Def and The Production that made Black Star great and Talib Kweli benefited from it, I heard this on Message boards ect
2 Live Crew have 2 classic albums, that should answer your question
