"If skills sold.... I'd probably be Talib kweli"

[Harry B]

Common used to be called Common SENSE before he obviously dropped the "sense" out of his name.

Do your homework.

Oh word? But on his debut album Finding Forever it says Common.

 

[Ohene]

wow...im so bored listening to reflection eternal. Somebody give me some Drake/Jay/Nelly/Future...or whatever popular nikka of the moment past or present, in order to "excite me". I have to be part of the crowd.

Wack:


Talib Kweli & Hi-Tek - Love Language [f. Les Nubians] - YouTube

in all fairness, thats a top 2 song on the album, you hear that, the blast, and the kinda get disappointed with the rest. thats just from what i remember, i should probably dust it off

On top of that you have Move Somethin, Memories Live, Down for the Count, Name of the Game, Good Mourning, African Dream...these are all 5 star tracks. The album is a classic, bruh.

lol jay-z can tell his fans another dude is better lyrically and they still gonna say something else...

He can say what he wants but Jay-Z is easily as fvcking nice as Talib kweli
and I'm a dude who bigs Talib up on here and even when cats were
saying he was wack and corny.




Jay ain't as nice as Talib is the worst myth perpetuated on the internet.

Talib sounds like a nasally college professor who decided to change careers. And NO....I'm not talking about the subject matter he often touches. He just doesn't sound pleasing to the ear as an MC.

I personally mess with Talib heavy so of course his
voice doesn't bother me but I definitely can see not liking
his voice as a valid complaint.

People have voiced similar complaints when it comes to other
rappers I like, like Kendrick Lamar.

The only thing I can say is dude definitely
has some fly music if you can get past his voice.

The only problem with your comment is that Black Star was produced by Hi-Tek, so it was essentially Reflection Eternal & Mos Def. I.E. Reflection Eternal beats and foundation to songs.

ehhhh. bit of a reach...
and i thnk people r forgetting how great kweli's 1st album was. but i liked all his albums. im only now realizing that he has a very strong catalog, honestly.

 

[Mike Statik]

id rather listen to the Blackstar album than any Jay album thats not RD

thats just me

IMO

they both fell the fukk off a longgggggg time ago

 

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

hes just overcharging nikkas for what they did to the cold crush

 

[CrossBones]

jay came out and admitted that he'd spit completely different if it wasn't for the money and the dumb ass fans who buy his dumbed down music. one of the biggest statement I've heard in hip hop

Kinda off-topic, but his voice changed when he released a Beautiful Struggle. It's kinda subtle, even though most will think he sounded the same his whole career. It was alrite before that Whatever, still one of my favorite rappers.
