Talib Kweli

Last week the internet went in a frenzy after rumors began to surface across the internet that rapper (1/4 Actor) Mos Def, or Yassin Bey, has been banned from the United States of America, the country he was born in, due to immigration issues.

Talib Kweli recently appeared on Arsenio and talked about some very interesting things that people may not understand about hip hop and the community that produces the artists.

The way rappers string their words together with such flow and fluidity is a great art form. And for the fans who adore their work, their rhymes have become a source of inspiration. While some loyal supporters are inspired to become lyricists themselves, others show their devotion by putting paint or charcoal to paper...

This song right here is for everyone who doesn't think "real hip-hop" is being made any more. Dope collabo with Talib and Jon Connor. Throw this on whenever you are having a Lil Wayne overload.

Friday (April 19) marked the three-year anniversary of the death of Gang Starr frontman Keith "Guru" Elam.

Rapper Talib Kweli has released the tracklisting for his upcoming album, 'Prisoner of Consciousness.' The album was expected to arrive in stores on April 23 but the release date has been pushed back to May 7.

This week's definitely been a busy one for hip-hop. Between Jay-Z's tourism troubles and his response to them, Ray J's ratchetness and Rick Ross' cost of being the "boss" it's easy to overlook other gems. We've got you covered, though.

On this NewTube Thursday 3.21.13, we encourage you to "Push Thru" the "Crack" in the "Bad" "Mirrors" and "Celebrate" with new music videos from 2 Chainz, Talib Kweli, Mack Maine and Justin Timberlake.

Tyler Perry has been hard at work filming his new film "The Marriage Counselor" due to release in 2012. The cast is, as usual, star-studded and looking great! The only unsual thing about this cast is that one of its members is causing major contraversy for Tyler and the film. Who is she?

Over the weekend, the rap world went nuts after a video of Lil B announcing the title of his new album went viral. According to reports, B told the crowd at Coachella, during his performance last Saturday, that his new disc will be called “I’m Gay”. Onstage, he explained the reasoning behind the name of the LP.

As we are just days away from the start of Black History Month, I felt it appropriate to write this morning about how this month-long celebration came into being.
