Kanye: "Kweli is the biggest 50 Cent fan" + Kweli news & release date

[Kill]

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

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

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.

thanks bro!

[T-Dogg]

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.

[Darksider]

the pet shop boys could be his fav group...it wouldnt change my thoughts about talib

[Smurf]

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. 

[Lil Jay]

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.

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