well, first, it's not hate...a lotta time has passed in lives & careers...personally i don't enjoy talib kweli music like i once did...AND THAT'S OK bc im actually NOT upset at what he does bc its HIS ART & he can & should do what he feels...that said i dont have to forcefeed myself the art bc i lived blackstar, RE & Quality...

mos' catalog is better to me bc hes consistentw/ his sound & what hes tryna do...apart from RE, Liberation & Quality (& the beautiful mixtape) i dont see any compelling statements from talib, he makes albums full of songs, not albums in the sense of cohesive projects & WHEN HE DOES notice that there's typically a sidekick involved (Madlib, Mos, HITek, Kanye to an extent on Quality)

its not a grudge fam, i dont know the dude, but in interviews, online AND IN HIS RHYMES he comes across typically as smug, overly critical & dismissive of others and a fence rider not willing to commit to what he professes in his raps...also, he seems like a very smart dude & i feel he genuinely loves his people
