Yasin & Talib are timeless.

Kanye knows to bring his A game with real rappers

Talib Kweli is so underrated. But the man is beast

Here from Jeen-yuhs ...I forgot how much I loved this song...

You see, this is real Hip-hop. These are the types of songs that defines the true definition of Hip-hop, not what you hear now. It's a shame what rap has become. Believe me, i am not a hater, just someone who knows what sounds good and what sounds like DO DO.

A strong argument in favour of this being THE greatest advert for hip-hop, I'm really not exaggerating.

This song is legendary, for so many reasons, but one of the more important being that it shows that in hip hop there isn't a solid boundary between underground and mainstream. And Kanye. Kanye is another reason.

How could you not...LOVE THIS! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I had to pause and write this after I heard Kanye say..."if music get you choked up ... this is the tree and the rope..." This is was I call a micdroppable line!!!! Wow. This level of lyrical precision is so underrated and unappreciated in today's world in my opinion. But from some of what I've seen recently I think there's a generation of rappers that are lyrical fundamentals that will bring hip hop back to this level of wordsmith'ing. Thoughts?
