Video: Talib Kweli Interview w/ RubyHornet
We talked to Talib Kweli at the W Hotel in Chicago, IL while the BK emcee was in town for a performance with Rhymefest at The Shrine. In the interview with DJ RTC, Kweli talked about the place he’s at in his career, working with Hi-Tek again, the backlash from Beautiful Struggle and how the fans feel about Black Star, and more.
Props to RH. For the record: Black Star >

^90K and spends 2/3 of your day on nah= zero room for complaints.
***and thus, I’mma STFU, lol…on the real, though, I have a lot of responsibility, and I work crazy hours…I’ve only been on Nah like 3 days in the past couple of months, but when I get on, I pick up right back where I left off (no collecting cans on the street)

*applaud Beezy’s health care plan*
You know the fucked up thing about health care?
my sister was in school & working at a hotel.
she got leukemia & had to quit both. She is beating it & is in remission. Now has social security & medicaid since she has no ins. & my mom is broke. She is losing her car & barely holding on to her apartment. So she is ready to go back to work, but if she does she will lose her health plan & thus not be able to go to all her appointments & do the things she needs to do to stay healthy.
It’s like she will be penalized for going back to work. SMMFH @ this shit.

I never really ventured too far out with pharmaceuticals…being a pill popper is never a good look….I’ll support weed to the end, even though I don’t smoke, but sometimes, dealing with reality head on and changing your circumstances>>>being caught up in the drug matrix

oh and legalizing drugs would definitely increase drug use…but who gives a fuck

Trust me if the gov’t wanted to do any of the shit oyu guys suggested, they would’ve done it YEARS ago. Uncle Sam ain’t like that though. He wants you to fight over the scraps, and doesn’t care if you die, go to jail, or fail while doing it. What these niggas are doing now is trying to centralize the wealth, sucking every penny out your pockets, puttin niggas out of their homes, asher roth up here sayin I love college but aint saying shit about learning. Talkin about some chug. but word up people need to wake up. The gov’t don’t really care about you cuz the gov’t is a puppet to a higher power anyway. they want you to depend on them and dont want you to be self-sufficient
