Talib Kweli

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)

EBK stands for "Elite Ball Knowledge." 1 In internet slang, "ball knowledge" originally referred to a deep understanding of football/soccer or basketball, but it has evolved into a broader term for having a highly sophisticated, deep, or niche understanding of any specific topic (such as music, movies, or subcultures).
Person A: "That scene was a direct homage to an unreleased 1982 Japanese indie film."
Person B: "Wow, EBK."

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.

Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
