i remember "follow the leader" has not one cuss word in its entirety. my mom challenged me to find an artist rapping, that WASNT full of cuss words... and i found THIS album. i can say for a fact and i challange anyone to pull that album out and give it a listen not 1 cuss word.

Got connected through the bob James interview. This is a really good interview. And 49 this fall 2021 what Talib is saying about stings album was real for NYC that album was a deep album at the time. A really good interview I’m looking to your other joints. Music then was a whole different vibe...sigh. We will never get that back. And it’s the backbone of so much of hip hop/house era of mid to late eighties NYC scene. Just a really good interview. Appreciate the de la discourse on shorty no mas cuz I wondered the same. Thank you for this.

I agree with Talib Kweli about Eric B. & Rakim being the pinnacle. RAKIM is ALLAH--GOD. THE style, ETERNAL.

Great interview. The “behind the scene” surprise of Talib, that he can keep the records, makes me dig the show even more!

[@reicartelonline8563]

Talib introduced me to Nina!!!! I friggin love this!!!!

[@ericdavis1758]

Same, the way he flipped that Four Women was crazy and how I learned of Ms. Simone

[@reicartelonline8563]

Exactly Bro! True story!!

[@iamkanephotography]

Someone should make mention of the Steely Dan sample in Gas Drawls. That track was an event in hip hop as far as I'm concerned!

[@mr.x3906]

Right on. Black Cow was sampled very smoothly in that record.

[@bencollins51]

Thank You!!!

[@BigRobVTheOriginal]

That's Slave playing on the Oddysey record.i know that's the late Mark Adams on bass!

[@LetTheRecordShowTV]

That's right! Just Blaze picked the Slave record when we had him on the show and told a great Steve Arrington story.

Kweli says Eric B & Rakim's "Let The Rhythm Hit 'Em" has the best lyrics written in hip-hop of all time. Disagree? If so, what in your opinion is a stronger verse?

[@AbuOmar]

The imagery was razor sharp. I could see it all in my mind when i was only a kid

[@thasski8802]

visually ... yessir .. but straight raw lyrics 🤔 ... I'm leaning more towards Lyrics to fury

[@1SUNGODELBASIR]

Who's the softest in the interview?
