+Kj Carrier So true, I've seen him live twice and was more then impressed. He was always in my Top 5, but I was mesmerized by incredible he sounded live. He stayed late to kick some freestyles on stage with Common and it was amazing. Everyone should seriously hear this guy live...
There's rappers and then there's talib kwali. He's a LYRICIST. Talib...Em...nas...and most of all krs one...those are lyricists. There's prob a few more but those are the nicest imo
Yee but longevity is worth something. Until he shows me that he can keep producing, he's not of the same caliber as those 3. I do agree that he has the potential to be. I love joey.
When I was in Eighth grade, I had just survived cancer, “The Blast” was out and that’s all I wanted to listen to; years later in High School my heart found it’s back to Talib Kweli. I’ve been an aficionado since 1998!!!! Still in my Top 5!!!!
listen just because it's a Free don't mean that the artist hasn't practiced these lines in there head long before the free, and then mix, blend, twist bars during the session to see what sounds feels right together for later frees or even tracks...
Yo, real talk....best CD I've heard this year's so far. Hip-hop is in this dude. I just hope it sells, cuz the game just ant the same. Keep it up Talib
Tanner Billings The first part was The Actual where, he started spitting of the top in the parts where his bars were not connecting, after he asked if he should keep it going he started spitting bars from Distraction.
"They say it ain't about the spoils of war, and turn around and tell you how much more the oil will cost" fucking WHAT. Homeboy got the answer and making it rhyme like it's nothing
I heard these rhymes on some of his songs like distractions. I think there are two versions of that song. These are not freestyle rhymes. He is still one of my favorite rappers though. Rakim, Mos Def, Black Thought, KRS1, Eminem, DOC, Twista.
this freestyle was great, but i think people are overdoing the comments about this is real hip hop, as if Funk Flex doesn't have many other very good freestyles on his channel, and Kweli is what they've been waiting on all along or something. on that note Kweli you went in. Can't wait to cop ur new shit.
Swallowing medication like a patient to a degree like a doctor give remedy expect the doctor is me. -Talib. I definitely needed that album welcome back Talib.
He sounds exactly the same live, or free styling on a mic as he does recorded on a song .. Crazy
+Kj Carrier So true, I've seen him live twice and was more then impressed. He was always in my Top 5, but I was mesmerized by incredible he sounded live. He stayed late to kick some freestyles on stage with Common and it was amazing. Everyone should seriously hear this guy live...
Truth. His voice and style are always on point.
Talib is the fuckin Einstein of rap...on a whole other level than 99% of rappers
The flow and delivery is so smooth and consistent shits amazing
There's rappers and then there's talib kwali. He's a LYRICIST. Talib...Em...nas...and most of all krs one...those are lyricists. There's prob a few more but those are the nicest imo
This dude will set your favorite artist on FIRE!!!
Word
Nah man. Just shaking my head. Talib you are the illest MC.
Absolutely one of the top 10 greatest rappers of all time, Talib Kweli. Underrated king of rap, pull a freestyle like it's a walk in the park.
One of the best lyricist of our time.
Damn! These bars need to be all over the radio. I hate how they've dumb down hip hop now.
Me too
Now THAT'S A FREESTYLE!!! :) Talib Kweli is a freestyle KING!
Hip&hop!
Top 3 in my opinion; in order btw
1)Yassin Bey (Mos Def)
2)Talib Kweli
3)Common
mjdprince75 1. Jayhova
2. Talib
3. Phonte/Shad
mjdprince75 but um Kendrick is an army too
Terance Haight Nice List man, Jay is on my top 5. Joey Bada$$ is a dope artist as well
Yee but longevity is worth something. Until he shows me that he can keep producing, he's not of the same caliber as those 3. I do agree that he has the potential to be. I love joey.
Well, those 4.
Talib is the truth.
Real hip hop... This is the shit that can change the world for the better

..."skip religion and the politics, and head straight for the compassion/ everything else is a distraction, don't be distracted ni66a"
dope freesstyle
One of the most underrated mc ever
Whoa!! That was too effortless. No one should be able to drop that many bars of straight knowledge THAT effortlessly.
Im 35 now. Was 'late' to talib when my dad put him onto on him at age 15. I was obsessed and dissected rhyme schemes for years.
8 people don't like this?
Da fuq is wrong wit you. Talib is the truth.

Yo, real talk....best CD I've heard this year's so far. Hip-hop is in this dude. I just hope it sells, cuz the game just ant the same. Keep it up Talib
I feel like Crooked I has this type of flow and lyrics mastered alot farther
Crooked I is all technicality though, he hardly ever has substance behind his lyrics, only the standard dissing of a non-existent person.
that classic Kweli flow. nobody touchin this
Living Legends.
DAMN! Now I gotta buy this.......tomorrow first thing.
If he didn't prepare this, it's the best freestyle ever made.
Tanner Billings The first part was The Actual where, he started spitting of the top in the parts where his bars were not connecting, after he asked if he should keep it going he started spitting bars from Distraction.
Tanner Billings The Actual is the name of the track.
cool ill check it out. what album is it on? still a sick written
Don't think it's on any tape.. he spat it at Occupy Wall Street.
Yeah, true, I miss the old Talib. Nowadays it doesn't sound like him.
My Number One the Real MC_From Angola_One
Real Hip Hop! Bars!!!!

"They say it ain't about the spoils of war, and turn around and tell you how much more the oil will cost" fucking WHAT. Homeboy got the answer and making it rhyme like it's nothing
