This was the kind of music that make you think, while at the same time, make you have a good time, it was real, from the heart, filled with truth and soul, one part of the 90's I'll always remember back in my days of youth, when the real outweighed the bullshit

I remember this song, and the message was outstanding. This made me respect Talib Kweli so much. He was a unique MC than these mainstream rappers. The production from Hi-Tek was pure genius! I'm so happy they reunited to release their new album, "Revolutions Per Minute."

Talib Kweli came to be a little b4 his time. If he had come 5 to 10 yrs later he would've been received much better. Rap/ hip hop was still very much violent and ignorant in his prime yrs. Whosoever had a TRUE purpose at this time was overlooked.

What goes around comes around dude. From extreme to extreme. Sure lil wayne drake and all those fools are supposedly the most famous but that doesn't make them the realist. I think more and more people are seeing what kind of fools these "rappers" are and more and more people are coming up that have content in their rhymes. Hip-Hop is still pretty young and increasingly growing. Don't count the people out yet. The more struggle we see the more real shit we'll hear. It'll get better.
