Talib Kweli ft. Ace Hood - "Let Em In"


I know I'm not the only person that looked at this and sighed. I don't know if it's coincidental, but the last time Talib went on a twitter rant about Hip-Hop and lyricism and getting back to the essence, etc, I found out he had a song with Gucci Mane. Let's just say I was NOT feeling that combination at all. Yet, here we are again, seemingly in the same predicament. He's ranting about lyricism and then releases a song with Ace Hood. HOWEVER....THIS SONG IS ACTUALLY DOPE. Ace Hood was actually spitting on this. Talib killed it. The beat is dope. I guess, don't knock it till you've heard it, is an appropriate response.

SuckasSeries: Nick Cannon ft. Talib Kweli "Child of the Corn"....

Let me clarify that Talib is NOT the Sucka here...
 


Sigh... I'm tempted to break into Nick Cannon's studio (his play area that Mariah put together for him to keep him busy) and take a hammer to all his recording equipment. Then I'd take some gasoline and set it on fire, let it burn for a while then piss on the fire to put it out and give it back to him! This dude is the poster child for "Lame Ass Wack Artists who need More Attention than a New Born on Life Support!" What is this dude trying to prove with this song man.
"We don't know no lawyers, know no doctors, never thought about college...See the pimps on the corner pushing that product"
I don't know if Nick is bored. I don't know if Mariah popped her nipple out his mouth months after she stopped lactation so he'd DO SOMETHING WITH HIS NON EXISTENT EXISTENCE, but please give him the nipple back. How could any mother be proud of this. Didn't dude's brother get pop'd a while ago for robbery or some shit. WHERE WERE YOU NICK! Oh, right! You were in the studio making them hits. Maybe he's using Lauryn Hill's studio to make a mockery of Hip Hop while she goes on tour and makes a mockery of The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. I can't tell at this point. We were rid of this gigolo. Nick had a good job hosting an amateur talent show, sounds like a perfect fit to me. Sounds to me like the douchebag had finally found his rightful place on tv and none of us were mad at him for that. I actually applauded his mediocre comical antics as a host for a America's Got Idiots w/ Talent! But no, that wasn't enough. Nick Cannon started to feel worth. And worth is a terrible thing. Worth to a has-been is like the Bible to DMX. No good is going to come from this dude, just a lot of LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME! Lawd, either strike us blind to his idea of quality or strike him with a bus!

The beat to the song isn't bad.  Kweli even fits.  Why didn't someone just give the beat to Kweli and let Nick Cannon push the record button, or set up the mic stand, or get Kweli a Sundrop from the vending machine so his throat wouldn't be parched.  I wouldn't even mind if Cannon just signed some TALENT to his N'Credible Records/Entertainment label.  I fucking hating when wack ass emcee create their own labels and sign themselves as the main act because Def Jams, didn't think the were Def or jamming, or because Interscope new it best to keep an outer scope on that person's music.  Even Rocnation knew he couldn't rock gravel.  They signed Willow before even giving Cannon a call back.

Look dude, take the hint.  We don't like you.  You're not relevant!  You suck.  You're a sucka!  You're wife is the only reason we still remember you.  Drumline was a great film before we all saw Stomp the Yard.  What has Drumline done for you since then? Love don't Cost a Thing?  Roll Bounce? Short Circuitz? The damage is done Nick.  You had you're run-- more like an overzealous jog.  Let other people be great now-- like you were ever in their way in the first place..HAHA!

Stop gassing these dudes Talib!

Talib Kweli " I'm on one " (Prod. by Khrysis) @realtalibkweli @khrysis [VIDEO]



If you put all Khrysis's most recent beats on one tape, you'd never know they were from the same producer. This beat is straight vintage cypher sounding, with a touch of scratching, and boom-n-bap bass to match. Then here comes Talib Kweli spitting that intelligent street truth that's a perfect promo displaying what we can expect from something titled Gutter Rainbows. Honestly, I'm waiting for a remix to this track featuring maybe Rapper Big Pooh or Sean Price, anybody that can hit em with the rawness to back up that Ohhhh Ohhh! sample.

Top 10 of 2010 [Rap Edition]: #8 Reflection Eternal ( Talib Kweli & Hi-Tek) "Revolutions Per Minute"


Yes! I am one of those people who hoped, and prayed, and begged, and cried for another Reflection Eternal project. I just felt like Talib wasn't Talib without Hi-Tek. So when I finally got my hands on this tape, I dayum near excited myself into a coma. The albums is dayum near flawless except for one awfully placed tracks with a female pop/soul singer who Shines in the UK and shall not be named. Lifting off was undeniably one of my top 5 tracks of 2010. With other tracks like Just Begone, In the Red, City Playgrounds, In This World, Get Loose, and So Good, this album is easily a top 10 drop of 2010! Get loose, Yeah Right!
