A peot who refuses to rap about gangstars, ice, and their kicks. Thus, not recieving any love from mainstream (aka TRL teeny boopers, White America). If you want to hear stupid punchlines, used beats with weak lyrics, 16 bars about guns, bitches, bling, etc this is not your guy. If you want to hear what hip hop should be and never will be, you have to cop this mans work.

Nowadays rap artists coming halfhearted/
Commercial like pop or underground like black markets/
Where were you the day hip-hop died/
Is it too early to mourn, is it too late to ride?

TOO LATE! TOO LATE!

talib kweli

One of the illest rappers to come from the Rawkus Records family. Has released albums with Mos Def as Black Star, Hi Tek as Reflection Eternal, and as a solo artist. As a Rawkus member, he doesn't rap about bling, gangsta shit, and girls (unless it's positive). Recently got pissed when a forum member by the name of ImRickJamesBitch put a link to a bootlegged copy of his unfinished album.

kweli is ill man, cop all of his albums (specialy the black star album)

Whale

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.

"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
