Talib Kweli - “Eat To Live” Video
MUSIC By TSSCrew on June 26, 2008 at 12:46 pmWords By Contraâ„¢
Sometimes I wonder why this guy is still somewhat of an underdog.
I don’t wonder and frown. Au contraire. I breathe a giant sigh of relief. I think it’s actually quite positive that he’s not mainstream.
Talib to me is what Hip-Hop should be: more powerful, more intellectual, more empowering, more selfless, more gratifying, further reaching art. That is what Hip-Hop should have transitioned into, as opposed to having devolved into its current state of severely soulless “negradation” -Uncle Ruckus.
It hurts me when certain rappers with the IQ’s of retarded goldfish on cheap pills sell so much more than this man ever will.
But then after the sting has stung, I smile. Though he’s not selling, that’s probably why he’s not selling out.
“Do you/Don’t trust the critics who doubt you/Try to write shit about you, but they can’t make a living without you/Go hungry, you gotta watch what the media feed ya/ And don’t be a poisoned animal eater either”
He practices what he preaches, children.

Talib is nice with his. One rapper I never really dug, but always impressed me… if that makes sence.
Good looks on that Neptune mix, E.
nice. i like this
anyone got that new A Trak Nike Plus mix?
ive had a search but cant find it
i always dug his quote “what these n****s talkin bout?/livin a movie but the audience is walkin out”
too bad the audience ain’t walkin out
good look on that 8th planet joint!
shit is dope as hell
Did Beautiful Struggle get 5 mics for real?
I read an abridged version of “How To Eat To Live.” I recommend it if you wanna go on a diet.
@ Doug
Hell nah. It got 3.
Love it!
Your favorite rappers favorite rapper.
