Talib Kweli – Words of Eardrum

Talib Kweli is a funny guy. How can he not be, with words of wisdom like: “Nothing is as simple as it seems” and “There’s mainstream music that’s very good and there’s underground music that always sucks”?

And for the record, New York did not create hip-hop music. Pimp C did.

    I think this one will be solid as always but I think it will be the first time he gets mainstream acclaim…thats a guess.

    Ps-I’ve been sleeping on this for a minute I know, but can somebody tell me how long BLack Milk has been out and where he’s from?

    Hmm.. Quality and Reflection Eternal are probably better, but I’m really liking Ear Drum.

    I feel like the best tracks on Quality > this, but overall all the tracks on here are great.

    It’s the best album of the year so far, bar none, better than Desire, Finding Forever or Return of the Mac

    I forgot about Brother Ali’s joint but its up on that level too

    R.E. remains Kweli’s best effort..but imo, what I’ve heard thus far from/of Eardrum its arguably better than Quality.

    I’m buying it because every song I’ve heard is nice. Especially “the perfect beat ft. KRS”.

    As a guy who blogs (i guess that makes me a blogger) I’m recognizing his lyrical skill and waiting to get more information on these bloggers he’s dissing before I make a judgement. I have every confidence that he ain’t talking about Nayschola.blogspot.com. And even if he was, I respect it the way that even Jay-Z thought Ether was kinda ill.

    ps- was he saying beat-bloggers as a term or beat bloggers with beat as the verb and bloggers as the direct object?

    Googled “Perfect Beat” and got a link to the site while listening to the Talib take. That is mos def a hot track. The reminisce of Nas’s “GetDown” is taking me away…
