Liquid Lyrics - Talib Kweli Inspiration

To compliment Mos Def we had to get a clip of his fellow Blackstar member at his best. Brooklyn-born Talib is one of the most respected backpack rappers because of his smarts which are both reflected through his opinions and his lyrics themselves. This clip is an excerpt from the Def Poetry TV show (which presents artists, actors and poets alike reciting original verse) and is a critique by Talib on religion. A very philosophical poem, I’ve often listened to this and wondered what the world would be like if everyone had similar values. As Jay-Z said on his track Moment of Clarity, "If skills sold, truth be told/I'd probably be, lyrically, Talib Kweli”. I wish. Enjoy.
