Res Goes In on Talib Kweli For Not Releasing Her Music; Kweli responds

[Indiglow Meta (R$G)]

All of the above reinforces exactly what I just said. You're kinda making my point for me.

She's not some run of the mill rapper trying to get put on who can just record anything fairly inexpensively. I think you're severely underestimating the time and cost it takes to hire bands for live instrumentation, professional singers, and song writers or co-writers.

I don't know if you've followed her career at all, but the fact that she puts so much effort into her song making process and doesn't fit into any category that can be easily pigeonholed (she's definitely not "neo-soul" and even resented that label) is one of the major reasons she's had such a rough time getting back into the industry. Labels figured the cost and risk of producing her music the way she wanted it to be wasn't worth the investment considering it was so hard to market what she does.

Golden Boys was one of my favorite songs...and the jawn with Nas.
I was more of a Santo/Santigold fan myself....you keep mentioning rappers and that proves you're out of touch/don't know how equipment works. Most of the interfaces are designed with inputs for instruments: aka the equipment was madw for SINGER/SONGWRITERS. I even mentioned a low level one, without mentioning that group KING or any new folks like ABRA. "It's what she put into her music" That isn't required anymore and crowdfunding is a real thing for people like her with niche fanbases.
You said "soundclick" but there are singers, retro groups like TUXEDO, etc with midi controller, interface, computer, inputs for extra instruments.
They have portable "head booths" like the kaotica eyeball that make the sound even CLEARER.
It's not 2002.
Lol at "trap rappers in a basement".
No: girl in bedroom with guitar, keyboard, mic, interface, camera, grinding.

WHO IN THE FUKK IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD SIGN TO TALIB KWELI???



I get that they were friends, but she really thought, "My career aint poppin, what I need is that Talib Kweli stimulus package to become top bytch in this game "

This is like Blu Cantrell going on a twitter rant talkin 'bout, "I got new music I recorded for my fans, but Mic Geronimo is being an a$$hole and won't release any of it."

Talib Kweli is ugly, odorous, has razor bumps and is laughed at by his peers when he leaves rooms. Discog is buns too.


Res’ How I Do is a great album.

Well look who it is

 

[Guvnor]

Damn she tried to Me Too Kweli but I believe his story.

didnt read but if she got his number then going on social media was uncalled for

Maybe he didn't answer her calls.

How I Do >

Never even heard of that album, I only know of her by the work she did with Talib as Idle Warship.

It dropped in 2001. I think Santigold was a producer/writer on that album too. You should check it out when you get the chance. ;)

 

[Guvnor]

Am I buggin or is this this nikka basically saying, "yeah I did try to fukk but the judge said it wasn't a work environment so ha-ha!"

....making a pass is not sexual harassment.

I totally forgot about Radio Silence.

It's silent for that.

"It get quiet when facts come out!!"

Shame on Res

 

[Yaboysix]

I like fukkery . But im on kweli Side..


Im no creep, but me and a bytch in a hot tub alone and there are drinks.... Im only a man dammit! The fukk im supposed to feel? Lol

Female employees shouldn't be in no bathing suits round the male employer anyway ..nothing good can come from that

 

[Wiirdo]

This is like Blu Cantrell going on a twitter rant talkin 'bout, "I got new music I recorded for my fans, but Mic Geronimo is being an a$$hole and won't release any of it."

 

[KingsOfKings]

Damn if that aint the truth.




But on a related note, and a fact that we all seemed to have glossed over.......

Dead at the last part.

 

[TheDarceKnight]

randomly bringing up the fact that he made a pass at her in a hot tub at some resort YEARS ago is some slanderous sh1t

these women are evil man

Talib can be annoying on social
Media but I’m Glad he called this out for what it was.

 

[TheDarceKnight]

Tryna MeToo the GAWD Talib.



You gotta be careful how you move it seems cause one moment
of weakness (or stupidity) can totally tarnish your social image.

The ironic thing Is these type of false claims end up damaging their movement. The girl that accused of Aziz Ansari when it was really just a bad day ended up hurting their movement a little bit, and Talib isn’t as big of a name but this has the same feeling

The idea that you can be falsely accused is definitely scary given the repercussions these days, but I do ultimately think these kinds of things can backfire and there will be major consequences for this movement. I’ve already heard people that work saying they don’t want to hire women out of fear of an accusation

 

[daemonova]

Last thing she put out was that Fleetwood Mac cover album, right.

Yeah, WAY past time.

is that talib at the 2:40 mark?

 

[Supa]

Word? If you were in his position you would cuss out your fans?

I mean I was telling the nikka to chill on some "yo, it's not worth going back and forth with random people on Twitter" and the nikka just lost his shyt.

fukk that nikka though, low key Mos carried him for years anyway

You're a random person on Twitter. You don't know him so why are you trying to talk to him and give him advice? Social media got yall thinking you can reach out to these people on a level playing field.

How Mos carry him when they only did one album? Don't be scorned.

Well that was my point to him. Why was he damn near foaming at the mouth arguing back and forth with random people on Twitter lookin crazy as a muthafukka.

Son proved he's a cornball.
