I find it amusing that during times of strive, and blatant injustices such as the Sean Bell verdict, BET allows the “consciousness” rappers to speak and bring forth their assessments. But as soon as the case becomes yesteryears news in a few months, its back to makin’ it rain on these hoes. Regardless Nas, Talib [...]

I'm about 20 hours late on this, but just in case you didn't see the five million sites that probably posted this yesterday when it dropped, here is the Mick Boogie/Talib Kweli mixtape, MCEO. I have not listened to it yet (I was in an old school mood last night), but it contains original tracks from Kweli and his Blacksmith label.
Also, a little "Making Of...." video to go along with it
If you thought Mick was done after the acclaimed release of “Busta Rhymes + J Dilla = Dillagence” think again. This new mixtape (or as Mick Boogie puts it, a mini album) features brand spanking new, exclusive Talib Kweli songs in plentiful, not to mention ample appearances from the Blacksmith Movement. Mick also mentions that [...]

Well after thorough scrutiny of “Hi-Teknology 3“, (in stores 12/11/07) I have firmly asserted that “Hi-Teknology” > “Hi-Teknology 2” > “Hi-Teknology 3“, yes folks his solo projects have progressively worsened, not a good look. Don’t get it twisted though, I still have much faith in the brotha, because after listing to this instant classic, its evident that Tek still has it.
My biggest issue with his most recent work (which has to do with Tek’s creative inclinations), is his attempt to create some sort of juxtaposition, (similar to my coined phrase “NerdwithSwag”) in his choice of featured artists, just think substance vs. senselessness. On one hand you have this absolutely banger from Tek, Kwa’ & Dion (who has next), with meaning and a message, that’ll evoke in any fan of real Hip-Hop a serious yearning for a “Reflection Eternal” part deux. Then on the other hand you have tracks such

This brotha Kwa’ cannot do any wrong this year, the remix to his single ‘Hot Thing’ features the legend Luther (not the little Luther…) Jean Grae and Neo. “EarDrum” is in stores now… Oh yea, you gotta love that reference to The Floaters in the beginning of the joint too…

This would be the remix to N.O.R.E’s official single ‘Set it off’ which is produced by and featuring Swizz Beatz, but it doesn’t take a brain surgeon to come to that conclusion. Seriously, Swizz Beats needs to reinvent himself once again, becuase his productions are becoming more and more monotonous and un-diligent it appears. But other then that the song is aight, everyone comes so so on this joint, nothing spectacular here… N.O.R.E.’s “Noreality” is in stores now.

Talib Kweli held another album release party for Eardrum last night at Lotus in NYC. Diddy, Danity Kane, Michael Bivins, and the MTB4 boys were all in attendance. Too bad Diddy and his crew took all the spotlight. I heard Michael Bivins will be managing the new MTB4 boys...that's a good look for him but I don't know about the boys. RCheck out Aubrey pretending to get her diva on...meantime YBF reports D.Woods & Yung Joc are the new hot couple. The pair was spotted getting real cozy and enjoying each other's company they took their party elsewhere...hmmm.

Janet Jackson was spotted at the US Open yesterday looking extra thin...you never know with Janet. One minute it's chubby Penny the next she's skinny Penny. Either she's still got it!
Clinton Sparks had to use his signature motto when titling his latest free.99 mixtape featuring Kwa’. This mixtape features ‘The level ft.

Although it rips off those cool ass HP computer ads, still pretty dope!! Also, why does Kweli constantly go with the psuedo-love & party songs? It hasn't worked (check the sales numbers), so why not go back to what you do best - being a lyrical creature!! But whatever, still diggin' this track......
First we had the brotha Com, and next up is Talib on AOL’s 16 bars. Considering its Talib spittin’ and if you know what the brotha is capable of, I’d say its a luke warm 16… Watch it after the jump. (more…)

UGK spitin’ over a soulful beat with my favorite MC, thats what im talking about. UGK takes the beat from Raheem’s ‘Guess who loves you more‘ for this track and with the help of Talib Kweli speak on a rare commodity that you don’t come across that often in America. The non-groupies, the non-gold diggers, the uplifting women, the down ass chicks and queens alike. ‘Real Woman’ is a confirmed track off of UGK’s upcoming and self titled album “Underground Kingz” in stores August 7th…

Rapper Talib Kweli will release his eagerly awaited sixth album Eardrum on August 21. The new album features appearances from Justin Timberlake, KRS-One, UGK and Norah Jones.
Dr. West drops some knowlege with the help of Talib on this track which is off of Cornell West’s upcoming album,“Never Forget: A Journey of Revelations” .Considering the man is a 54 year old professor at Princeton you really can’t knock the track nor his intentions when it comes to this song, his agenda is where it should be, and the content is on point, these brothars are telling it how it is, how it should be told… Judging by the collaborations throughout the album, it does seem like it’ll be a pretty solid piece of work, I know I’am goning to check it out.
