On the real thank God for niggas like Talib. Most of these niggas think like NIGGERS. This is what hip hop is for. Speech, since we can't fuck with the devils as for as guns go. Most you niggas ain't gansters, you'll kill ya own bratha ina heart beat, but that devil, you scared of.

War 4 Peace!

Never seen another rapper take it back HOME (yes home, AFRICA, not "the hood") this is some deep stuff.

He is talking about PROBLEMS that EFFECT ALL OF US, not just one person!
(like most otha rappers do).

Kwali a legend, he has never switched his style up to go commercial, he knows the fans who will stay loyal to him, ear drum is a classic droped at the time when ppl are blazing that soulja boy and snappin der fingaz, wotever, trash ma comments but kwali loyal to the game

im feelin da beat and da chorus. talib do get enough exposure. people aint ready for rappers like him, lupe, and many others, thats why he dont get as much publicity as he should some people have to think to hard to feel and get a good concept of their songs.
