BLACKSTAR - What's Beef

[@Swooshman_3]

They shredded this beat... period. Best Chappelle Guest Musical guest spot ever

[@darkknight3769]

Clifford Brown-Robinson that beat is Bizmarkies "Nobody Beats The Biz".

[@corrces]

They were honestly all great Erykah Badu Common and Kanye De la soul Anthony Hamilton

[@JS-ri8qc]

@@corrces yes they were all amazing then and still greats now. Dave chappelle has impeccable taste in music

[@killuminati8174]

Talk about timing man ..this is so classic

[@weebtrash6119]

@@killuminati8174 they were so ahead of their time it’s crazy, it’s almost as if this track was made today

[@humanmold]

The realest lyrics with a slammin dope ass old school beat,doesn't get much better.

[@CancerExl]

"Beef when a gangsta ain't doing it right, and other gangstas done decided to do with his life" man tell these young people the truth! 🤔

Nigga dat shit was cold ❄❄❄❄❄

[@MarianDouglasUngaro]

What's beef? "... Beef is when the judge is callin' you a defendant. Beef- It comes with a long jail sentence...Handed down to you in a few short minutes." - Mos Def and Talib Kweli, Blackstar

[@chrisrobinson8339]

[@chrisbrew8132]

These were the best lyrics EVER in any song period they should have put this out cause this song was the best ever made

[@mostlyharmless88]

[@JamesThomas-fo2yc]

Man! I'm speachless! This is real hip hop.

[@ernestmurphy8275]

[@numberslettersstuff]

Golden era lives on. 2020 and this kung fu is still strong.

[@andrewmcclain3968]

Real hip hop is eternal.

[@strongtrillion4235]

Talibs verse is like an episode of roots on wax. Real emceein right there.

[@makani9004]

I remember the first time I heard 2:20 it hit me in the gut like a physical blow.

[@henrywilliamsjr2723]

[@andrewmazaik8407]

Ian Andersen same here

[@dastardlywun]

Best version I've heard so far. Great job

[@kpowell927]

Revisited this because of the Drake/Kendrick disses juxtaposed with the situation (still) in Gaza.

[@HOTHEAD11234]

Mos killed it

[@UltraMegaFail]

Why didnt they put this out

[@stemid85]

I always felt that this was like a graffiti bombing, temporary street art that you had to see then and there. An artist keeps reinventing themselves.
