Realist song I've ever heard

[@barteechris]

“We’ll SURVIVE………”

[@williamgardner5760]

20 years later and shit still hasnt changed. Gotta keep fighting yall... all love to those that deserve it

[@mathewmara2184]

"If skills sold, truth told I'll probably be lyrically Talib kweli..."

[@roflDRG]

It's more complicated than black or white - To give your own life is the greatest sacrifice. - Talib Kweli

[@trentyates418]

This year of 2020, we lost another innocent African american from police brutality. And we are still fighting and we wont stop until justice is served. RIP G Floyd

[@AYATOLLAHBEATS]

Talib Kweli And Ayatollah On The Beat...GREATNESS.

[@chancregister2714]

“Business enforcers with hate in they holsters, shoot you in the back won’t face you like a soldier “ 💥

[@thomasharlovic7470]

This song makes me cry, cuz of how beautiful it is but also because it makes you realize every problem we American people face is deeply complex and has no clear answer and is going to take a while to solve. I'm shook

[@gravityhammer25]

Sometimes its best that hip hop like this doesn't get many views real hip hop is a treasure and it cannot be desecrated by the greedy corporations.

[@MurvMuzik]

that second verse is so relevant to the world today. 13/14 years later. talib is a prophet

[@grateful_living]

9/11/2021 this song still reigns true

[@edmpropertymanagementltd803]

this dude DEFINES hip hop. thank you for this masterpiece.

[@haroon19able]

" Shoot you in the back won't face you like a soldier " ......

[@skankhunt-sf1to]

sadly this describes way too many cops

[@S3BaZxh]

his verses are unique, he makes real hip-hop with lyrics that are real poetry.

[@crypto_que]

All the way from 2002, & still way ahead of his time, way ahead of weak rappers today.

OG TALIB KWELI#1

[@iamshyni69]

[@poetryselite]

Talib Kweli is simply what my generation needs. And yet, I pity my generation cuz some will neva know the difference between and Hip-Hop and cRap.

[@aJazzySymphony]

Quality one of the best albums of all time.. hands down!!! **we survive, it's more than pride, we stay alive, ready to ride*** Love you Kweli!!

[@YoungRebel81]

What happen to real Hip Hop like this, when things derived from a higher sense of knowledge and conciousness of true revolution. That's why I only listen to people like this because that mainstream shit is bullshxt, real Hip Hop isn't about the bullshit we possess and the figures we get or the clothes we trend, giving everybody false perceptions on a ideal life they can't reach. I rather enjoy the lyrics of truth rather then then the lack of effort the mainstream people put out. Who agrees ?

[@scalvarese1]

remember when you could watch a video without having to sit through a commercial? Remember when music videos were uploaded by users and not VEVO Remember when all the info was to the right of the video? Remember you could rate a video 1-5 stars? Remember the famous yellow subscribe button? Remember when the users controlled the site and now corporations? WE MISS THE OLD KZbin! Post this in every video and lets start a youtube revolution!

[@AYATOLLAHBEATS]

Talib Kweli. The Proud. Produced by none other than AYATOLLAH.

[@deezy81]

25 II Life/Old Nigga Spirituals!!!!

[@JamesAlexanderinternet]

kills these verses

[@SunShine1732]

FIRE!! I hope that a lot of you are really listening to the lyrics because he's talking some real shit!!!!! Some of y'all might learn a little something!! I love it!!

[@mrbigtime4420]

Talib Kweli is truly the realest. This dude keeps it deep hundred in every one of his tracks. Talib is the man even til this day. A true rap guru indeed.

[@SunShine1732]

[@charlesjulion6011]

Forever Relevant. Peace to ALL. Hip Hop will NEVER DIE.

[@johanesambroseochieng44]

true

[@SwineFluInCompany]

We need some more Talib Kweli playing on the radio.

[@PrintKingdom904]

brother Kweli song is more relevant than ever !

[@kingnas775]

Probably my favorite song off the album...Hard-hitting.

[@royalnaz1]

man this guy has a lot of good songs. HIGHLY UNDERRATED.

[@RaiRaiBrown]

Talon Kweli came out swinging this year. He sounds amazing ❤️!!!. ⭐ Black🖤 Star keep shinning 🌟💫😍!!!.

[@somendnguy]

'niggas wit knowledge is more dangerous than niggas wit guns' - people need to embrace his lyrics...

[@ty.lowkeyy]

my teacher was playin this in class this song is hot

[@mkaznthy9919]

I like how you didn't mention Rakim, Rakim doesn't need a chance......the second that he touches the microphone everyone goes wow

[@ahanja1]

While it may be of little financial comfort to Talib, is music will still be relevant 100 years from now. A synopsis of the conditions of the realities of inner city life (globally) at the start of the 21st century.

[@dunkfanatic]

give me thumbs...if u agree this is music artistry at its best

[@ghart22]

9/11 never forget my people the last verse says it all, thats kwelity right there

[@TheGamekid93]

this isn't the world i use to know or did i ever know the world that i walked on for the last 17 years?

[@Midas777Touch]

What an inspiration for humanity. Talib Kweli makes me proud to be a human being.

[@calumduke2060]

Finally, rap music that actually means something. Don't listen to all the mainstream crap, none of it even makes sense. This stuff is a memory of when you made music for emotion or to convey a message, instead of just for fame.

[@alizeswigger]

If it listening to this in 2022 ur a Legend Song was made in 2002 before you tube

[@adriannurse5245]

Taklib kweli .... this one is DEEP 💥💥👊🏿🇧🇧

[@optifreex]

Jonny, I don't know if I can comment on Talibs best song but I think the difference between hip hop and rap is that Rap is about having fun, partying, and showing off what you have. Hip hop more often speaks to to us about social issues and makes social commentary. It tries to enlighten us and open our eyes to the world around us. Thats how it was when I was a kid in the 80's, at least.

[@JamesJones-mk8we]

One of my favorite songs,we survived 400 years of slavery,we will survive the devil

[@corylatimer]
