Kweli is always so artistic.lots of knowledge and respect for music and people.he is 1 of my fav emcees so far since i been a lil kid.i cant believe Eardrum arrives in 1 week! 20 tracks!!!man i can see why Kweli, Mos, Roots, and Kanye like eachother so much. all very talented and amazing.
This is what hip-hop is all about. People don't even know that hip-hop is an acronym. H-I-P stands for Humans In Poverty, H-O-P stands for Helping Other People. For MCs to keep that concept alive today is a rare thing
Talib Kweli represents real hiphop. I listen to alot of hiphop and I feel like a lot of underground artist rap about real topic and conscience things, not like the mainstream artists who have sold their souls for money & fame. Look at Common, Mos def, Hi-Tek, Dilated Peoples, ect. I know they are blowing up now but they rap about some realistic things. I'm going to be watching Talib May 5th at Johnson & Wales in Providence, RI its $5 at the door and starts at 6pm I think SHOW UP! - Visionthought
its sad a song like this prolly wouldn't get much radio spins, cuz this is a deep song. "lets put more depth in our verses...", i couldn't agree more kweli. this guy is brilliant lyrically. and i'm sad to say i JUST started listening to him, like 5 days ago :P
this man's lyrics are fire! i love how he raps about the important issues not only ass and getting high and cars. rappers out there need to look and take some notes.
support kweli and buy his album lets show the world what real hip hop is. hip hop ain't dead it was on vacation!! this summer will be too hot talib kweli, common and kanye all coming out with some hot albums
It's really nice to see a hip hop music video that does not degrade women as objects. A lot of mainstream music videos seem to have 20 half naked girls for some reason...
more talib less mainstream rap...its good to see that talib is still staying the same...so many could learn from this, half of why tupac was better than most rappers nowadays was because he was one of the only rappers who had his own voice and clearly a strong belief that he needed to help his people...talib is one of the only famous rappers that ive ever seen with this trait
Lupe is sick. If you want to listen to rap, listen to Royce da 5'9. However, Common, Talib and Lupe are just as amazing. Royce just has that...'umph' to him that makes his music sound so...GOOD.
Kweli's Eardrum is gona be amazing, by the way, his ENTIRE cd is now able to be heard on his Myspace....i didnt even wana hear many tracks cuz i want to hear it when i buy it...from the parts i listened to, its very good.
this jint is addistive and hte lyrics are fire kweli is the man i will be BUYING 2 eardrums when it drops the lyrics make the beat that much tighter hot hot hot hot fire gotta watch it again
I dunno about anyone else but when I hear a good lyric it makes me smile to myself, and Talib makes me smile more than any other MC. If there was any justice him and 50 Cent's bank accounts would be reversed.
Kewli gets the point of hip hop. its music its an art that needs a message . he is in it for the message and not the money his rhymes are ill and songs have purpose he spits it like no other. if you hate you dont know true music
oi b i feel u true hip hop only lies in da old skool and limited number of brothers like common,talib,mos def,nas and kanye but don't forget dat uk grim is getting more real than ever with peeps like bashy and sway.
Big up to Talib for doing him an keepin it funky. This is the defining era of hip hop nowadays. Let's excede these fake ass clowns of 50-ness bullshyt.
to all of y'all that don't have eardrum, y'all need to get it. cuz that album is a classic...its not up to Talib Kweli's "train of thought" but its right under it...its a very tight album though
talib kweli is one of the only few that really makes very hip-hop but for some people this shit isn't enough "commercial" but i think this thing is better than all 50 cent, lil wayne, and busta rhymes shit...kweli THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE
As to the Nas vs. Kweli debate..as legendary as Nas is, I just can't picture him flowing to the depth that Kweli does. I mean check out this line from the song... "less misogyny, and less curses, let's put more depth in our verses till they left on the surface." And that's just ONE example of the many many uplifting lines that Kweli spits.
1. immortal technique 2. Talib Kweli 3. common 4. Mos def 5. Rakim 6. Nas 7. AZ 8. Big pun 9. Jadakiss 10.lupe o0o and best dj is premier..has da ill scratches ..
the thing about luda is dude is actually talented (ever heard him freestyle i mean for real off the dome)but unfortunately he rarely showcases his talent and just follows suit with the rest of these bubblegum fools. Thank God Kweli got his own label hopefully sony actually backs him like they said they would
immortal technique will be okay after he goes thuru the height of his rebel phase he angry, got a right to be angry I pray he finds spirituality and embraces religon to find peace and balance...... p e a c e
I had an idea for the video to this song when I heard it on the boondocks soundtrack, and it wasn`t far from the one we looking at. Recognize whats real and the rest will fall in place!!!

Kweli and Hi-Tek need to stick together for life! they make sick music everytime they put out a track!
talib kweli, lupe, kanye, common, mos def, nas, rakim, and KRS one are the future of hip hop.
fredmagic09
Wonder if after 10 years you still believe kanye deserves to be in that list 😁
@@rimer82k im sayin lmao
I download allot of stuff. But the REAL music like Talib always gets my dollar at the shop. Respect.
best and realest rapper alive
saving hip-hop from extinction
Kweli is always so artistic.lots of knowledge and respect for music and people.he is 1 of my fav emcees so far since i been a lil kid.i cant believe Eardrum arrives in 1 week! 20 tracks!!!man i can see why Kweli, Mos, Roots, and Kanye like eachother so much. all very talented and amazing.
Ear Drum is the Hottest Cd this year. One of the realest MC's my Dude Talib. I cant wait for Mos-Def to drop his.
This is what hip-hop is all about. People don't even know that hip-hop is an acronym. H-I-P stands for Humans In Poverty, H-O-P stands for Helping Other People. For MCs to keep that concept alive today is a rare thing
thats the truth, way underrated, but when someone notices him they can really feel his music
Talib is such an inspiration man!!! He is just too real.
This is real rap. None of that mainstream shit.
"This aint no marketing strategey
It had to be from the heart in order to be reality"
One of the best 5 stars.
bringing that real shit back where it needs to be!!!
The Biggest, greatest hip hop album of the year. Hip Hop has been risen from the dead!!!
Talib is a must!...He's one of my favorite MC'z, Talib songs are deep and always make u think. He's so ill, more people 2 listen 2 kweli.
lupe,kante,common,talib and mos def are real hip hop
Eardrum is an amazing album. Way to go Talib!!
Eardrum is great, big up's Kweli
Talib is incredible
