"I went on tour with Kweli, and all he played was 50 Cent"
That's what Kanye said in the new XXL..
Hiphopsite.com:
A NEW ALBUM? MOS DEFINITELY.....
Great news for hip-hop fans as Blackstar is coming back! Well, sort of. While Talib Kweli's The Beautiful Struggle has already been tabbed with a definite September 28 release date, his Blackstar pal Mos Def plans to release The New Danger, his next solo album, just two weeks later on October 12, which will ALSO unofficially coincide with the official re-release of Urban Thermo Dynamic's (Mos Def, DCQ, & Ces) lost classic, Manifest Destiny, which will see release October 26th, via Illson Media. In addition to the new solo album (not to mention the various acting roles that Mos Def has been involved in lately), Mos Def should also be launching a tour sometime after the album drops. Talib, meanwhile, is currently scheduled to open up shows for the Beastie Boys on their "To the 5 Boroughs" tour... -

I wonder what the Kweli fans gonna say about this :D?
-
He is a good rapper with a bad taste.

He's jusr prolly feelin some 50 at the moment lol
-
50 Cent >>> Kweli
-
50 Cent >>> Kweli
lmfao
-
50 Cent >>> Kweli
You're funny ;D
Anyway, yeah, I've heard it before that Kweli is really into 50. And if I remember right, I think 50 gave props to Kweli in that XXL issue where he was the guest-editor.
-
fifty>>kweli ;)
-
fuck that categorizin shit, I'm not really into 50 (no more), but i think it's dope that this seperation into the stereotypes of "gangsta" and "conscious" is not ubiquitous in hiphop...i remember sumbody said that back in the days u could put sumbody like Kane or Kool G Rap on the same stage as KRS-ONE for example...50 & Kweli on the same stage in front of the same crowd seeming kind of absurd is actually sad IMO, so I'm glad artists give each other props like that

amen
they ain't into the bullshit like we at dubcc are ;D...Kweli knows music is music, if you like it, you listen to it.
Smurf is Killa Kain? :)
-
yea.. thats kinda funny.. i could see kweli playing shit like rakim, public enemy, dead prez, etc.. but 50... w/e
-
how's that strange. 50 makes good music. he isnt the most talented rapper as such, but the music is pretty good. that makes him kind of the opposite of ras kass.
-
alittle news for you Vancouver cats out there. Its rumored that Talib is scheduled to appear and likely perform at the Beautiful Struggle CD Release party in Vancouver after his performance with beastie boys on sept 20th.

Good to see a confirmed date for Kweli and Mos, and I didn't realise that UTD album was being re-released so I'll be picking that up as well.
As for Kweli liking 50, I've got no problem with that, it's his choice if he wants to listen to it, as long as it doesn't effect his own music then it doesn't really effect me. But to Smurf and Sikx, if you truly believe that 50 is better than Kweli then I think there is something very wrong with both of you.

lol, 50 ain't even bad at what he does. I think u can back up sayin "50 > Kweli", ain't nuthin objective. You can hardly back up "50's lyrics > Kweli's", but u can prefer 50's voice, his flow, the type of songs he does etc. I'm the last one to say "50 > Kweli", but i do see how sum people can say that
-
I've read a few interviews with Kweli and one thing that always comes across is that the man loves hip-hop for what it is - not what category it's meant to go into or whether the artist gets respect from a certain type of listener. He's a true fan and it's the only honest way to approach music.
Fuck it, I've got Train of Thought and Quality sitting right alongside Get Rich Or Die Tryin' and Beg For Mercy in my CD rack - wouldn't have it any other way :P
-
I wouldnt take anything Kanye says to heart wither, since he thinks his album shits all over anythign Nas did.

yup. only there's a few cd's in between cuz it's alphabetical. But between Talib and the Three 6 Mafia there is only Tech9e and Terror Squad 8)

thanks bro!
-
I ain't surprised. I was when I first heard about it though - in the XXL issue where 50 was the guest editor. They had a transcript of a phone call 50 did to Kweli. They just praised each other back & forth.
-
the pet shop boys could be his fav group...it wouldnt change my thoughts about talib
-
Before 50 dumb down his lyrics for the Southern audience he was much better lyrically than Kweli

hahahahahaha.
Even during the "Power of the Dollar"/"Guess Who's Back" albums 50 was still half the lyricist that Kweli is.

Yea I came to that same conclusion in the last few months
