Talib is a top 5 MC, yet nobody gives him the respect he deserves. I remember bumping this CD on repeat in high school. Talib holds it down for true hip-hop!
Just Blaze always been one of my favorite producers. He always had some hard hip hop beats but at the same time he knew how to put some soul into the music too. Can’t too many producers do that.
If I could rap, I'd want to rap like Kweli. Oh well, I can enjoy their music all the same. Its a shame all Hip Hop can't be even half as good as Kweli plus Def, Common and Nas
this is actually a pretty simple sample i think its only one loop then he chopped the ooo ooo part so it could just keep going over and over like he did with the what we do sample for jay z and beans.
This song is so beautiful it reminds me of me and my baby girl man like she's so beautiful and when I layed eyes on her I feel deeply in love like I never felt before and I want to spend my whole rest of my life with her and have our own beautiful family
Treetops wait...isn’t TALIB the first MC to actually put KANYE on,even let him tour with him,KANYE even Thanks him on the last track off his debut album THE COLLEGE DROPOUT(I think the joint is LAST CALL if I’m not mistaken)...i stand to be corrected though.
Songs like this made me😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 real tears.....I was the only hip hopper in my crew....and I didnt care...this how rap should always be....shoutout to just blaze...producers dont get enough credit for the great feels WE😉 give ppl💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
this is the song that introduced me to Kweli. One of the first cd's I bought at 17 when I got my first job too. been a die hard ever since and that album introduced me to Jean Grae... not a regret
damn only 600,000 views?? this mans lyrics explain love better than most mainstream songs out there. not only that but the beat is hip hop at its best.
Its 2020 who else is rocking talib kweli with me? Bc this joint is knockin. Wish i could find a woman who bangs this good ol hip hop and not mumble rap.
An under rated song by an under rated Artist. This a Classic.

This guy is a genius. It's that's simple

its getting back slowly bru
It really is fam. Alot of good acts out right now.
Don't forget Dead Prez.
Novak Delija and living legends, they were so underrated
*Pharoahe Monch out of chat*
"shorty bi-coastal, thick like bifocals". Dude went in
Perfect example of a Hip Hop love song. Talib Kweli = G.O.A.T status
I GOT LONG ARMS AND A BIG NET, CATCHER OF MY BUTTERFLY. 😘❤️🕊
Talib is a GOAT, I've been saying that a long time ago.
After twelve years it's still a HIT❣️🔥
This was released in 2004. 19 years old since this dropped.
And it always will be 🎉 🥂 here's to the next 20 years
"Gave the rest a try, now give the best a try." So using this as a pickup line haha
Real hip hop- real music- real artistry- real lyrics- REAL!!!
And they've NEVER Gave this One OUNCE OF RADIOPLAY! THIS WHOLE WIDE WORLD IS BUGGED OFF
😍🌹
its 2016 and STILL better than any love song out on mainstream radio.
Vic bio
Are there any love songs on mainstream radio today? Like *actual* love songs?? lol
Any song*
@@sthembiso4818 Ariana Grande has had some and others
Love songs don't even make radio anymore lmao. Not from hip-hop. Mos, Jean, Talib, Common, etc. If it ain't them, it's not being made at all.
just Blaze killed this beat wish I knew how to sample
+kapone815 Knowing how to sample is not that hard, but sampling the right way is not for everyone.
+kapone815 Because I Love You by The Imaginations (1974)
Nate D Thanks bro but I was saying I wish I knew how to sample not what the sample is
+kapone815 ha, my bad. I see that now that I re-read your comment
this is actually a pretty simple sample i think its only one loop then he chopped the ooo ooo part so it could just keep going over and over like he did with the what we do sample for jay z and beans.
i like how just blaze is like 'awww hell no" and pushes his way onto the show
It's always magic when two giants link up on a record...
You gotta love the samples from Just Blaze. Timeless!!!
Good music with a hot beat is never out of style.
"juss blaaaaze" hahaha
Kweli is one of the most tightest and underrated lyricists in rap, and of course Just Blaze is one of the best beatmakers ever.
WETTER THAN A PERFECT STORM
Just Blaze.. -_- ..Just Blaaaiiiize! o.O ..
one of the best to do it, no doubt
Ben Varney naaaa. 3:06 best moment
This SENT me 🤣🤣
One of just blazes best productions
Talib Kweli sound is so smooth and dude lyrics flow like water.
"Shorty Bi-Coastal thick like bifocals stacked like 2pac vocals" damn he tore that line up prolly my favorite part of the song
Just now caught the 2pac bar after yrs. Yeah he slid with that//
@@myownisle he sure did my older brother showed me that and this song that's a BAR don't make them like that no more 💯💯💯
We need more of this kind of raps that can speak to peoples soul Talib! Awesome video.
that black guy with the glasses must be the creator of vevo
catarino ocegueda that black dude with glasses? its actually Donte Culpepper lol
+Kevin Newsham hell naw haha
He's a sports broadcaster/media personality from Toronto: Cabral Richards en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabbie_Richards
Looks like Kardinal Offishall, the Canadian rapper
@@ChandraPurnellBond he is in this I saw him
This song is so beautiful it reminds me of me and my baby girl man like she's so beautiful and when I layed eyes on her I feel deeply in love like I never felt before and I want to spend my whole rest of my life with her and have our own beautiful family
2 legends right here...kweli and just blaze
Stack this song up against 90% of music on stations now and it would blow them away.
'Rock on player'... 'Taleb kwaylee' man the whole intro just kills me ahaha!
real hip hop. so refreshing.
I remember when I first heard this song in 8th grade. Timeless
This track still tight Af....
Talib is a genius. And not some kanye fake genius. True.
Kanye paved the way for his success
Treetops97 ummmmmm you know Talib been out since the 90s right
Talib was had 2 critically acclaimed albums before Kanye.
@@MrAugustBlack talib actually helped out Kanye when he was starting off
Treetops wait...isn’t TALIB the first MC to actually put KANYE on,even let him tour with him,KANYE even Thanks him on the last track off his debut album THE COLLEGE DROPOUT(I think the joint is LAST CALL if I’m not mistaken)...i stand to be corrected though.
Maaaaaan, this takes me back, I vividly remember this banging at yhe crib. I am truly grateful to have grown up on this type of music
I know i loved this album one of kwelis best albums
No doubt. That was my introduction to the culture.
Agreed Brotha Khafre... thank God for heads like these who still keep hip hop pure.
Yves Yuri Bien-Aime yes sir
I was 5 when this song was released. I discovered it later on and still love it. Is that what timeless music is?
Songs like this made me😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 real tears.....I was the only hip hopper in my crew....and I didnt care...this how rap should always be....shoutout to just blaze...producers dont get enough credit for the great feels WE😉 give ppl💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Discovered this song today at work while listening to jay-z playlist
This song is so poetic. Rap aka poetry at its best.
Those 193 dislikes must be lil yatchy fans
i jacamo pretty much
They disliked it because it ain't no face tattoos and rainbow hair...that's it
Talib is one of the best artist out there. His lyrics are unique.
"The rhythm is in the words and I watched her dance to my poems", deep and twisty lyrics Kweli. Nice beat by Just Blaze too.
Love this song. Talib is legendary mates.
I so love, Mr. Kweli, I could only dream of finding a man on your level of consciousness!
The first Talib Kweli song I ever listened to.. A year later still jammin to his music. He is the realest.
Hope you good
damn only 600,000 views?? this mans lyrics explain love better than most mainstream songs out there. not only that but the beat is hip hop at its best.
This beat is crazy yo and soulful yo real hip hop music will never die in my heart yo RIP J Dilla
Austin Edwards Yeah J Dilla Is one of the greatest, but this beat was produced by Just Blaze.
Can you read now?
Yep! It's still good in 2016. KEEP REAL MUSIC ALIVE!!!
“Shorty bi-coastal, thick like bifocals, stacked like Tupac vocals, her body so loco!”
