Talib Kweli and Hi-tek talk early years of Kanye West’s career
www.hardknock.tv Hard Knock Tv’s Devi Dev and Nick Huff Barili talk to Talib Kweli and Hi-Tek talk about the early years of Kanye West’s career. From Kanye opening up for Kweli to labels not wanting to sign him as a rapper. Kweli says that people didn’t see Kanye’s vision as an artist and just wanted his beats. Kweli says that he knew “College Drop Out” was a classic when he first heard it. Hi-Tek adds that Kanye is a genius in the same way that Dr Dre is. I personally remember getting the white label vinyl of “Through The Wire” “Two Words” that Kanye paid to press up himself because at that time Def Jam and The Roc weren’t pushing him out. I also remember being at the Def Jam office’s in NY (during CMJ) with the Rap Attack DJ’s telling them that they needed to get behind that record because we were all getting great feedback at our college radio stations. Ye’ has come a long way since then! -NHB For more on Reflection Eternal (Talib Kweli and Hi-Tek) check out www.hardknock.tv.

*ATTENTION ALL HIPHOP HEADS* i found another one, type in “Vinnie Dewayne – Damn ” on here . hiphop heads will understand what i mean. is hiphop coming back?
you guys should take a lesson from here on pursuing yr dreams and stop all these comparisons..
@mpc4000king How the fuck is he riding Jay z’s dick !? you do not know what the hell your talking about! And he can comment on who ever the fuck he wants to comment on even if its not his buisiness.. just like your commenting on him riding Jay z ‘s dick cuz even if he wuz iz that any of your fucking buissnes ….The only time you should use Kanye in the same sentence with drop out is when your talking about THE COLLEGE DROP OUT which went platnium along with ALL of his other cd’s.
Get : “The All Seeing Ty” the Hottest RAP Album to come out of NY in years. You love “The All Seeing Ty” available now on itunes, and amazon.com Buy Now!!! RIGHT!!! Supa-Ty from Queens the best new rapper out- Post
hey check it out….Dj Muggs vs. Talib Kweli..oooooooohhhhh, now that right there..imagine that..i sure hope it does. : )
@mkadoza then i bet your missing a bunch of them “brother”
kanye was bettter in his early careeer, before money corrupted him.
5:00 what song???
Oh, and I’m feelin’ the Yankee love.
@KingJamesai3 Dude… it doesn’t take me three times to get his metaphors… get your mental up brother.
Kanye’s first and second albums were cool. But, I feel he is riding Jay-Z’s dick to hard. He also comments on things and people that he has no business doing. Sort of how 50 Cent does. That’s why both of them “Dropped out”. GOD DON’T LIKE UGLY!!!
i feel like kanye consistently has lines that make you grin and say “ohh i get it” then listen to it again the third time you hear them and understand what it means
1 of the real nigga!

kanye’s a genius even though his ego is gigantic now he changed the game during the time lil jon was dominating he brought real music to the forefront
As much as some ppl say he’s an asshole and all that, i agree kanye certainly got talent and skills. you can’t not talk shit about his skills cuz he keep proving himself on his albums (well, 808 & heartbreak is debatable). And i don’t think he’s THAT much as an asshole as ppl think he is tho. When you look at his lyrics and some interviews, he is humble (sometimes), and CERTAINLY respects those who deserve it.
haha
@Lucifer986 spoke too soon man! New lp is hip hop on another level
Kanye West (and obviously Kweli) is definitely a genius.
As much as he can be an “asshole” at times…its too hard to deny that he has an artist style and really knows what he’s doing (when it comes to the music atleast, lol).
@DrivinMeWild09
How are you to judge LOL
but forreal check out the live version of the song at VH1 storytellers ..its amazing
too bad he changed
