Few hip-hop artists have made as profound an impact in as short a time as Talib Kweli. After releasing a few revered singles with partner DJ Hi-Tek, Kweli teamed with fellow New Yorker Mos Def for 1998's Mos Def And Talib Kweli Are Black Star, one of the best albums of the '90s. In addition to introducing the world to two of the most talented rappers of their generation, the album—along with likeminded recordings from The Coup and Lauryn Hill—played a major part in bringing a sense of spirituality, social conscience, and moral balance back to hip-hop. Since Black Star's release, Kweli has been busy, purchasing a bookstore with Def, traveling to Cuba as part of the Cuban Rap Festival, performing in countless benefit concerts, and helping to organize the Hip Hop For More...

I was back home in chicago and a dj played the piano riff for this song first and then switched over to talibs song. if anyone can help i would appreciate it a lot thanks guys emidio So True | Reviewer: Mia ------ About the song Black Girl Pain performed by Talib Kweli I am only 13 years old, but I have an amazing voice. My boyfriend and I live in a majorly white community(not together) with some of our black friends. I sang the hook of this song for our talent show. I also rapped the female part. We ended up winning the talent show. This song speaks to me in so many ways. It baisically says "Black girls, you have been through so much, You have so much more to endure. You have to be tough, don't be pulled in by the influence that we aren't good enough. You be proud of what and where you came from." There's so much more this song says to me-" Look at Big Momma-96 years old,living in the original slave cabin from the 'times' TODAY, her own grandmother forced over here, she endured, and her daughter endured, and the same process for 4 generations. This is the 5th generation, so lets keep it going. Show them they brought us over here, so we're going to show them 'we are equal, and we can do so much as them'". I listen to this song every day to say, I know what I am going to do today- Live in the "BLACK GIRL PAIN" What's the fuss about? | Reviewer: Eric ------ About the song Ms. Hill performed by Talib Kweli Okay, he shoulda given cred to Ben Kweller. But being a Kweller fan, I think it's pretty cool that he is being sampled. Kweller and Kweli are both the real deal. They could both be more successful if they sold out but they didn't. Ben Kweller who? | Reviewer: LA ------ About the song Ms. Hill performed by Talib Kweli Ben Kweller did the chorus... not the song. the chorus was sung by a girl not Talib. talib is amazing. listen to his other songs he's the of the most creative MCs. this whole Lauryn thing is so sad. She's truly a Queen. Ben Kweller Sample | Reviewer: nah? ------ About the song Ms. Hill performed by Talib Kweli Yeah the chorus was used without permission, but thats not Kweli, thats the producer who made the beat who sampled In Other Words. around my way | Reviewer: thabani a.k.a. mc nduku ------ About the song Around My Way performed by Talib Kweli i alwayz say nigarz from ma hood they'll give me the gift i will never have a chance to say thanks for thatis the last room (grave) so da hood is where ma heart is i stronglly relate to this track.

Kenyan Hiphop | Reviewer: Wincy ------ About the song Africa Dream performed by Talib Kweli Hey Talib. Good lyrics man.Seems Kenyan Hiphop is letting go off the ancestral possesion. We've always been building on a fast growing true hip hop in Kenya but as a rapper i feel the whole concept is changing since the hallo-baloon of crunk this sides. Through those kind of songs the media has socialised us into accepting artificially or rather superficial way of thinking and many hip hop artists too have been swayed into aping this flawsless crunk shit. This whole ideals of imitating false perfection has realy spoilt our national I.D. I just hope soon the youth hear will realise whats happenning and unless they realise such songs like Africa Dream they will be shocked to know how many of the black people in America yearn to come back to Africa to find and thrive within their original african values. Thanks man & be good. Did Anonymous Listen!!! | Reviewer: L ------ About the song Ms. Hill performed by Talib Kweli Kweli's not creative because he used Ben Kweller's lyrics in the chorus?
