Talib Kweli – Ear Drum Cover Art

I’ll probably receive a slew of death threats from Warner Bros. publicity department for this, but I couldn’t resist the urge to share.

Ear Drum arrives July 24th, via Blacksmith/WBR.

(Shout out to Jerrell for the tip-off.)

Awesome….definitely digging this more than the other, although the flashiness of it is a bit uncharacteristic of Kwe’ himself. Looks like he’s going in the Kanye direction…

Nice, I agree with Ivan but I think it’s a smart move. It’ll speak to the mainstream without estranging his core-audience.
I wonder how long ’till this post is taken down.

How come we always see Talib with a hat on? Is he hiding a monstrously large forehead like his fellow BK native Memphis Bleek?
