Talib Kweli - "Get By" (Live in Seattle)
A Message From Talib Kweli
Hello friends and family,
On Sunday night the hectic pace of touring caught up with me and I had my lap top stolen. I put it down in front of a hotel for a minute, and a kid who just shook my hand and told me he was a fan was seen on a security camera picking it up and leaving with it. If you receive any fraudulent myspace/facebook messages, this may be the reason. This was tragic for me because I had important creative stuff I was working on in that computer, but I will bounce back. There will be a substantial financial reward for any email with information leading to the whereabouts of my black Mac Book. I don't want revenge. I just want my computer. Thank you for your time, and stay strong.
One!

This is like the rhymefest shit that happened. You are OFFICIALLY NOT A FAN IF YOU STEAL FROM SAID ARTIST. This includes downloading their albums. *exception granted if you can't afford it. Pay your rent before you buy music, dunnie.

Sample of the Week!
Writer: Johnny Guitar Watson - We're No Exception
Biter: Talib Kweli - Hot Thing
Any excuse to post this AWESOME music video from an AMAZING album.
Also According to Wikipedia:
his music was sampled by Redman (He based his Sooperman Luva saga on Johnny "Guitar" Watson's Superman Lover song),Ice Cube, Eazy-E, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Jay-Z, and Mary J. Blige. He sometimes would enter the studio with rappers, at their request. Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre borrowed P-Funk's adaptation of Watson's catchphrase "Bow Wow Wow yippi-yo yippi-yay" for Snoop's hit "What's My Name."

Kanye West - Behind the Beats Mixtape
This old tape is finally making it's way around the internets. If you listened to "Last Call" on The College Dropout and enjoyed his commentary and storytelling. You'll LOVE this mixtape. Kanye takes you behind the beats, putting a bunch of instrumentals together for people to freestyle on. He talks about everything from what inspired him, to how they're gonna need more mics in the source after his album drops.

Q-Tip interview in Filter Magazine
Filter Magazine's newest issue just hit the stands. The cover man for ya'll DEDheads out there is none other than Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest. The interview wit the Abstract covers a few different bases. He talks about Tribe, and also the current state of music and Hip-Hop in particular..it's a REALLY good interview. Pick up a copy. GOOD READ. There's some commentary afterward too from some good friends of the Tribe.
Here's what Talib Kweli had to say:
"I loved hip-hop but I wasn't dressing or talking like the rest of the kids in my school. Q-Tip provided me with a template of how I could be myself. I was 14 and thought I was in Native Tongues. I had a VHS of Tribe live in Europe. It was incredible; these guys from Queens who I completely related to and were talking directly to me were touring the world.
The first time I saw them was Howard University Homecoming when I was 17......The mainstream media was dismissive of hip-hop; there was still the idea that it wasn't art. Tribe were our saviors for stopping that shit. The music was good, intelligent, clean. Tribe made it easy to defend. Someone says hip-hop is not musical, you say 'What? Listen to Low End Theory. It's got Ron Carter on in.'..."
Drop-Bomb got a Zone.

Prodigy Would Like to Clear Things Up
I wasn't gonna fuck with this until I heard about P dissing my boys (Little Brother). *SMH* Prodigy of Mobb Deep (Sidebar: Why the fuck isn't he in jail yet? Got damn!) writes his little blog every day about nothing in particular, except that him and 50 got the rap game locked and everybody else should kiss the ring.
One of his recent blogs, he goes off on several people telling them they "suck at the maximum amount of sucking." That's ALMOST the amount of sucking P will be doing for 3 1/2 years if they ever put him away. Got damn. Including Jay-Z, Nas, Little Brother, Saigon, EMINEM, Lupe Fiasco, Jim Jones, Fat Joe, Joe Buddens, Talib Kweli, Red Cafe, *gasp* and there's more . Excerpts below:
WOULD SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME TELL THESE PEOPLE THAT ME AND 50 THE FIRST AND ONLY NIGGAS KILLING THIS INTERNET SHIT THE RIGHT WAY.
...
I READ A BLOG A WHILE BACK BY ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF THIS CORNY ASS GROUP CALLED "little brother" AND IN THE BLOG HE WAS EXPRESSING HIS OPINION AND FEELINGS ABOUT MOBB DEEP AND MYSELF IN PARTICULAR (PRODIGY) HE WROTE ABOUT HOW WE FELL OFF AND HOW UPSET HE WAS ABOUT IT. WELL LOOK HERE MEMBER FROM little brother YOU AND YA little GROUP NEVER FELL ON so YA NEVER EVEN GONNA EXPERIENCE FALLING OFF,,,,,YOU WILL NEVER BE AS RELEVANT, SELL AS MANY UNITS, OR EVEN BE ON THE SAME LEVEL AS PRODIGY OR MOBB DEEP SO DONT WASTE ANY MORE OF THE PEOPLE's TIME WITH YA ASSHOLE OPINONS.
...
EVERYBODY COPIES PRODIGY'S RAP,SLANG,DRESS CODE, TATTOOS, HAIRSTYLES,JEWELERY AND MORE. SAME FOR 50.
...
WHO THE FUCK REALLY LIKES ANY OF THESE OTHER RAP MU'FUCKAS? YOU REALLY LISTEN TO FAT JOE? YOU REALLY LISTEN TO CASSIDY? SHEEK LOOCH? MAX-B? JIM JONES? CAM? BLACK EYED PEAS? LUPE FIASCO? TALIB KWALIB? RED CAFE? JOE BUDDENS? UNCLE MURDER? FROM THE EAST COAST TO THE WEST COAST AND ALL IN-BETWEEN, IT's TOO MUCH BULLSHIT TO NAME IT ALL, I MEAN THE LIST GOES ON AND ON AND LETS BE FOR REAL HERE, ALL THAT SHIT SUCK TO THE MAXIMUM POINT OF SUCKING. I FEEL BAD ABOUT PUTTIN CERTAIN NAMES OUT THERE CAUSE SOME OF THESE DUDES IS ACTUALLY COOL PEOPLE BUT WHO THE FUCK! TOLD THESE PEOPLE THEY WERE GOOD AT MAKING RAP MUSIC.
...
JAY-Z AND NAS????? FIRST OFF NAS WAS ONE OF MY BIGGEST INSPIRATIONS. HE MADE ME BECOME A BETTER WRITER/SONG MAKER. AS FAR AS JAY-Z ,,,,HE GREW ON ME. BUT THE REALITY IS THAT THEY BOTH LET ME DOWN THE MINUTE THEY STARTED LYING AND TRYING TO FOOL THE PEOPLE INTO FOLLOWING THEM. THE REALITY IS THEY ARE BOTH MUSICAL PUNKS AND STREET PUNKS. I FEEL SORRY FOR THEIR FOLLOWERS
...
WE RUN OLYMPIC CIRCLES AROUND ALL AND ANY OF THEM. THERE IS NO COMPITITION FOR US.
...
WHO THE FUCK LISTENS TO SAIGON, TRU LIFE, KEITH MURRY OR ANY OF THIS HORRIBLE SORRY BULLSHIT
...
YO SOULJA BOY IS ORIGINAL, INNOVATIVE AND UNIQUE
...
WE LET EMINEM IN CAUSE HE GETS BUSY AND DRE CO-SINGED HIM BUT EVER SINCE EM IT SEEMS THAT WHITE PEOPLE/BLACK OREOS FEEL THEY CAN DICTATE WHERE THIS THING IS GOING. NA, YOU CANT.
