Hes probably trying to break out of this box we put him in, but I doubt it will work. If anything it will turn his existing fanbase turn their heads.

Nothing these (w)*rappers do surprises me anymore. Talib signed with Jimmy’s slaveboat and lost his “knowledge of self”. I had the misfortune of attending Talib’s show here in London, it was truly atrocious. We jus’ got drunk and shouted Blackstar lyrics in between his tracks.

*wankers.

1 must b’ willing 2 embrace other types of music as long as the beat ,lyrics,storyline,flow are on point & he makes us LISTEN…………….!!!!

talib is not a concious rapper but he gets lumped into the group. its very few truly concious rappers. talib just spits hard, he is a bragadoucious rapper, and he talks about more than money cash hoes YET he will use them in his lines. its how he does it tho. blogs like this only add to the problem. its one thing to be a critic and another to destory hip hop.

Gucci does talk about money cash hoes BUT gucci still can rhyme. I’m not saying i’m a gucci fan but you have to give him credit for spittin. if he changed up his subject matter people would like him more.

keeping hip hop in a box is not the way to go.

So calm down folks Talib will continue doing so-called conscious music and Gucci will continue cashing in on his LCD royalty status until he is replaced by the next flavor of the month in the LCD rap world because LCD rappers can’t go pass 30 unless they are lying about their age ask JUVE,BG,pastor troy and all of the previous LCD rap lords forced back to independent life due to their career being done at 25-27. While Talib can play his cards as long as it is profitable because he tends to write about real life and human emotion, which has beatiful points and ugly points. But at the end of the day all men want to get the hot chicks and in a capitalist society they are going to be chasing paper. They may do it differently and with a different message but it all plays out similar.

also, kweli fell off a while ago. he was always best playing robin to mos def’s batman anyway.

completely off topic… i just heard this joint by lil b called the world’s ending. i’m officially taking him seriously. the second verse on there is a hip-hop quotable.

not to mention, t-shirt & buddens >>>>

bottom line is Talib is HIGHLY inconsistent as an mc, sometimes dope, sometimes lousy, with very little charisma so he throws shit again the wall from time to time to see what happens.

Gucci?

But a collab w/ Gucci…wouldn’t even listen once in a lifetime, let alone twice.
