Talib Kweli - Hot Thing, prod. will.i.am / In The Mood, prod. Kanye West (Official Video)

[@FrankieB]

Still one of the coldest music videos in 2024

[@MrDJTokyo]

Mad respect to the people or dude that edited this video. All these effects take a lot of time to do

[@drmznvrdie4087]

I was sitting appreciating that same thing right now

[@mrd0t188]

Real talk, most music videos now of days don't even have this its sad. This was done 13 years ago too

[@Florydah]

Mark my words

[@dfree1442]

This was an official video. I remember this.

[@JesseJaxx]

Oh maan 10 years ago already and still🔥.. Back when Will.I.Am and Kanye where creating this soulful vibe❤️

[@Theodore-e4z]

Talib kweli keeps his music going hard all the time and this song is the jam from back in the year 2007 and I'm still listening to this song all the time and I like this song

[@gedaman]

This is one of my all time favorite songs by any artist. How can anyone not like a smooth jazzy track like this? Why can't Talib Kweli be more popular with the mainstream? Albums like Eardrum deserve to sell like these other less talented rappers albums. It's a shame that the fan base of rappers like Talib and Mos Def don't get more exposure.

[@themadlion7634]

I can still rock to this track, I am closer to 50 than 30 years old! I miss with rap music sounded real!

[@TheZuluPrincess]

The poetry in this track thooooooooough

[@JoeBernard10]

Talib never ceases to amaze me, now if only him and Mos Def would drop another Black Star album!

[@takamichinoku4167]

I think the person who edited the video was the one doing the movements. Because as a motion designer, it's way easier to have an idea and know what type of effects you want in the video while working with your own movements and hand gestures. Like it all came together so well. Even if the effects are outdated, it's still one of the most creative music video within the 2000s

[@Tmacman1]

That’s obviously Talib in the video.

[@tysonngubeni856]

Talib Kweli's lyricism is incredible. This is just one of many examples on the amazing album he gave us in Eardrum. He really is one of the most underrated MC's in the game. I'm glad he hasn't conformed to the common style of most rappers. Long-live the realest hip-hop

[@urielriley]

Come on man!!! This was album of the year when it dropped. Still sounds amazing in 2020

[@MatthewACherry]

Was a Production Assistant on this video. Was so cool to see it get made live. There were a whole lot of takes.

[@morrett2]

Kweli KILLLED THis TRACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!FIRE!!!

[@djstitchjones]

My daughter loves this track. Thanks for bringing true joy to my life.

[@davz203]

Classic fire

[@MsMilicaS]

i'm soooo glad this song randomly popped in my head after 14 years

[@MrRoq-fk5os]

Damn i love this song.

[@defigi]

Talib Kweli is a breath of fresh air in the world of hip hop

[@MindBoggle02]

this is my first talib kweli song ive heard. im a fan. dope video too

[@musiCal624]

go back to reflection eternal and black star, those are my favs that i grew up with : )

[@sweecheeks101]

So many great tracks from Talib Kweli! For me though Get By is in my top ten all time favorite tracks. That shit still inspires me

[@azfollowmenothim7]

This is small fry compared to his other. This is about the time Kanye was super dope as a producer. Imagine how HiTek was with him

[@nicolin2003]

This is Hip Hop at its best something I can enjoy. Even my son that is 3 yrs old can listen to this.

[@klymaxx31]

I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH..

[@djackcozyhome]

thats because your a hot thang!!!! :D

[@tysonngubeni856]

Kweli's lyrical flair is incredible... Great artistic integrity

[@kSwissh007]

Dennng i almost forgot how dope this music video was!!!!! Creativity at its finest much love to talib!!!!!

[@dasdafoij]

"Why i make so many songs about love? Because its more than 100 ways of explaining it" - Talib Kweli

[@AdamLacy228]

I miss Talib's music.

[@PrimeraEspadaStark]

He's still making it, whats too miss. His latest solo album Radio Silence and his latest EP The Seven are both FIRE

[@scottyrob82]

Kweli is defintely one of my top five of all time. I've been a fan since Mood to Black Star to Reflection Eternal, Sound Bombing, etc. His use of words and style is simply ridiculous. Like Jigga said "if skills sold truth be told I'd probably be lyrically Talib Kweli." He's never rusty.

[@RayRawwTV]

I LOVE this song!!!😍😍😍😍

[@OneHunnedPercent]

Talib is one of the most underrated MC's of all-time with a shadow of a doubt.

[@latoyamorez7781]

Love the song and video!

[@bembolino]

Talib Kweli is the best! Greetings from europe,coatia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@zerodeth]

Ok Talib finally decided to express the sensual side of him. O well!! But In the Mood is the best song ever!!!

[@gogeta88]

this guy is undervalued. His wordplays off the richter.

[@williamsket]

i was in 9th grade when this came out

[@soccergrl354]

"cold blooded i luv how we melt in the ice ur like the sunshine in my life cause all i see is a hot thing ur my hot thin ur my hot thing ur my hot thing, word, u keep my dark sky lit up a night ur so bright that ur blinding my sight cause all i see is a hot thing ur my hot thing ur my hot thing ur my hot thing" i LOVE this song!

[@allcoupedup]

The vibe of this song is so good

[@QueenVenusLove]

Talib Kweli is in my my neck of the woods performing tonight. Visalia, Ca a small bumpkin town we all know who he is and welcome him with open arms. Long live this King!

[@breoganzibreira4528]

Talib Kwelity (Quality)

[@AdamLacy228]

Breogan Zibreira We got it. lol

[@bougiebel]

Talib is so talented. His style is definately smooth and unique. I love him. Always

[@mmmadame]

i love this song, though i almost never listen to hip hop. XD p.s: -18 now ;) hehe

[@aidan2408]

What this is not edited I-

[@choloboi]

Oh man I love Talib Kweli. He is by far one of the most underappreciated artists in our time. I love how some ppl are tryin to compare 50Cent to him...but in all honesty, there is no comparison...Kweli blows 50 out of the water...He is by far one of the most gifted lyricsist out there. And that's all on that. Big Ups Kweli.... You are 2 steps ahead of everyone out there.

[@carolinec9292]

I remember this song from the MySpace days. I had it on my profile and replayed it a ton.

[@Cyndiva]

This is the Kweli, that we know and love. (takes a deep breath) Can you smell that?? Ahhh real hip hop.

[@rb0880]

Being 31 years old, I'll catch BET or MTV every other blue moon, if at all. Saw this joint on VH-1 Soul. I didn't know they made Hip-Hop like this anymore. Hot song! A breath of fresh air!

[@EPICSTAXIS]

love the hp style at the beginning and the supreme clientele shout for the ending

[@timmytibble]

this song is so GOOD! Kweli is one of the most talented MCs out there.

[@MrsKianaP]

I'm in love with this video. TALIB THANK YOU FOR YOUR ARTISTRY AND FOR THE CREATIVITY THAT YOU BRING TO THE LOST TAPES OF REAL MUSIC.

[@hyperfunkd]

Talib is one of the best rappers EVER. Why he doesn't get acknowledged is beyond me. Talib - you kill it each and every. Peace.

[@lilcrumpet1]

one of my fav rappers. screw the mainstream rap. this is where its at

[@tysonngubeni856]

Yeah, that's what makes him such a respected figure in hip-hop. Content is everything to him, not commercialism. He's amazing.

[@123serioussam]

good to see over 2 million people know real music when they hear it. ooo for sureeeee.

[@kyleatchley7233]

My wife was just singing this song to our daughter. Took me back to the days we were dating and I used to sing it to her. All the way back to 09’. Favorite music video ever still!

[@popkornjohn]

i cant get over this beat right here...just keep comin back...and that Talib on it...Hot damn!!!

[@BigPerryThePlatypus]

I grew up to this dudes songs to ... good memories man, when music was good

[@DizzyHempstead516]

[@kidlessman]

Now this is the reason Hip Hop Is Still Alive......go Talib

[@ricyrichyoung25]

this song has been getting alot of spins on the radio.

[@coolguy569]

kweli and lupe fiasco are 2 of the few remaining TRUE hip hop artists

[@JaszyGyrl]

this is my favorite song. i keep playing it so much that i think my roommates are sick of hearing it. i love how talib talks about relationships realistically and not just as the hottest cute girl accessory on his arm, ya know? HOTTNESS!!!!!

[@rmcf4eva1]

i think it´s good that talib is on vevo... now maybe more people will be listen to real music, to real hip hop

[@krimpen123]

Great song, great video! Its about time more ppl disccover one of the best rappers alive! Listen to him hes got alot even better songs and albums. Much love to Tali from Holland.

[@greatlion1981]

In the mood song is sooo perfect the equalizer finest flow i cant stop hearing eardrum. Bitzhes betta learn. the man who s looking the true is showing you the way to do great HIP HOP. Hip hop revolutionaries madlib, 9th wonder, justus, LEGACY and all true hip hopers.

[@ahmatae]

[@exile404]

[@DRONEROC128]

[@HndleWat777]

Beautiful! Eye opening for this era

[@anezkadutschka]

[@bigsllim]

... And everybody on the avenue I know, when they see you say "damn!" Blackstarr keep shinin'!!!!

[@Shadow155]

I love it, when Love meets Lyricism, it makes this! Looks like an HP commercial, makes it even better! Waitin' for a Blackstar now...

[@White.Indigenous.Autochthon]

Beautiful Hip hop work! Lyrics, Production, Beats are incredibly tight. Skill is on the one....just phenomenally Beautiful Song from Talib Kweli! The video is ill, especially when he pulls the planets out and the ending is deep! Let's all buy this album and make it go triple platinum!!!

[@SimplySoul]

kweli has my heart! love this man! he did a show recently in Toronto and he killed it!! :)

[@JerzeeGrind]

This song is sooooo fly. The lyrics are soooo fly. I been a fan for a while but this is my new favorite song.

[@zackywest6802]

talib kweli is sick... hp came out wit the idea he killed it... made it fresh.. way fresher!

[@TriniandVerde93]

One of the best hip hop artists ever!! Today's rap/hip hop music should be like this, like it used to be back in the day when their flow matched the beat!

[@BryMike07]

Creativity and thought proviking lyrics are a lost art in hip-hop these days, (at least with a lot of the mainstream rappers) which is why you gotta love talented rappers like Talib Kweli.

[@ShinRyojin]

god damn this song is incredible, the beat, emotion, the flow, THIS IS HIP HOP! Props to Talib, real hip hop is coming back in full force!

[@patinhanator]

Kweli's amazing... he can even make me like a song with Will.i.am in it!!!

[@yuhhustla]

this track's hot. that futuristic look. i give it an A+

[@aseite]

Talib Kweli U The Best Dawg.....This song is tight, all your stuff is tight.

[@lilcholo5451]

Heard this when it first was released on youtube, I still listen to it. Such as chill classic song (Hot Thing)

[@DlynKane83]

you know what i like bout him..he can make some awesome songs dedicated to women..great song

[@hfd172004]

It sucks that radio stations only play crap while songs like this one are only played every once in a while. I barely heard this song on the radio. This song is great.

[@caling98]

My favorite song in the album! A bit disappointed with A Beautiful Struggle but Talib's back...Cop this album, no skipping tracks needed.

[@leanoleotwane4276]

Yo

[@Johansk182]

His beats are the coolest..! just my favorite ... congratz from Peru

[@DreaLS]

Not only is this one of the coolest videos ever, it's one of the sexiest songs out there, and it puts you in a good mood.

[@WomackJay]

I feel you on that one. Everybodys out to claim their mill, not realizin that they jeopardize the culture of Rap/Hip-Hop.we just need to ride it out. hopefully everything will go back to normal.

[@mickdooit]

The new album is wicked, I absolutely love it, especially the track with Norah Jones, it's amazing!

[@luckynater]

Talib Kwel ! 19-3 Mezz Breda, The Netherlands !!! here we come !!

[@Missionning]

Kweli you're to much for me..." I wear the night like a cloak, coz I'move like the stars, navigate like the truly bizzare..." Progression my friends, that's what this is all about. Constantly reaching for the stars. And when you reach them, you reach higher! Mad nice video king!

[@ISeenACar87]

I remember seeing him in concert and girls rushing the front row to this song. Spent the rest of the night surrounded by beautiful women... thanks Talib ;D

[@NovScrp]

Although I can't see his face for the majority of the video, I am in love with his whole style and aura...He does something to me.

[@jamdobson]

I am addicted to this song! I love it!

[@anelli88]

His style is undeniable!!

[@fistjedi]

I love your work and all of your CD's, Talib Kweli!

[@GetZaaZaaFit]

I love the WHOLE Eardrum album, but these two songs have to be my favorite off the album! Thanks for puttin them in one video! :) E

[@UncleMcFly]

[@thainfern04]
