Talib Kweli is a funny guy. How can he not be, with words of wisdom like: “Nothing is as simple as it seems” and “There’s mainstream music that’s very good and there’s underground music that always sucks”?
And for the record, New York did not create hip-hop music. Pimp C did.

Big Homie Says: August 1st, 2007 at 1:59 pm Looking foward to this album. I hear that it’s his best work. Anybody can sign off on that? |

Rizoh Says: August 1st, 2007 at 2:55 pm Quality is still his best work, imho. |

Nahshon Says: August 1st, 2007 at 3:36 pm I think this one will be solid as always but I think it will be the first time he gets mainstream acclaim…thats a guess. Ps-I’ve been sleeping on this for a minute I know, but can somebody tell me how long BLack Milk has been out and where he’s from? |

Illmatic620 Says: August 1st, 2007 at 3:38 pm Hmm.. Quality and Reflection Eternal are probably better, but I’m really liking Ear Drum. I feel like the best tracks on Quality > this, but overall all the tracks on here are great. It’s the best album of the year so far, bar none, better than Desire, Finding Forever or Return of the Mac |

Illmatic620 Says: August 1st, 2007 at 3:38 pm I forgot about Brother Ali’s joint but its up on that level too |

Illmatic620 Says: August 1st, 2007 at 3:41 pm Oh and on Black Milk he use to produce for Slum Village, hes from Detroit too, he had a couple albums i didnt bother to check out from 2004-2005, but Popular Demand is his first mainstream debut and a damn good one too |

esbee Says: August 1st, 2007 at 3:59 pm R.E. remains Kweli’s best effort..but imo, what I’ve heard thus far from/of Eardrum its arguably better than Quality. |

Nahshon Says: August 1st, 2007 at 10:01 pm “I smack internet MC’s and beat bloggers!” Thanks for the info Illmatic. |

Rizoh Says: August 2nd, 2007 at 11:03 am ^You’re buying it because he dissed bloggers? |
| 14. |
Nahshon Says: August 2nd, 2007 at 6:55 pm I’m buying it because every song I’ve heard is nice. Especially “the perfect beat ft. KRS”. As a guy who blogs (i guess that makes me a blogger) I’m recognizing his lyrical skill and waiting to get more information on these bloggers he’s dissing before I make a judgement. I have every confidence that he ain’t talking about Nayschola.blogspot.com. And even if he was, I respect it the way that even Jay-Z thought Ether was kinda ill. ps- was he saying beat-bloggers as a term or beat bloggers with beat as the verb and bloggers as the direct object? |

DJ Jizzy Knuckles Says: August 10th, 2007 at 10:15 pm Googled “Perfect Beat” and got a link to the site while listening to the Talib take. That is mos def a hot track. The reminisce of Nas’s “GetDown” is taking me away… |
