Talib Kweli is in the Building By Davey D We caught up with Talib the other day when he rolled through the Bay Area and talked to him about his upcoming album which looks to be his best ever. We also talked to him about his new record label and movement Blacksmith, which includes everyone from Jean Grae on down to West Coast phenoms Strong Arm Steady. Talib is ready to make major moves in the next couple of years and take himself and Hip Hop to higher levels. We talked to Talib about Hip Hop from overseas and where he thinks it stands with respect to cats in the states. We also talked to him about the state of Hip Hop in New York and what its going to take to bring New York back. We also asked him about whether or not he would start getting into movies. He let us know that he’s been hanging out in LA alot looking at scripts, but he may not be built for Hollywood. Lastly we asked Talib the 64 thousand dollar question-’Who is a better emcee-him or Mos Def? If the two were to battle what would be the approach he takes to knock Mos out the box. Talib had a very insightful answer. Enjoy todays interview. Less
