TALIB KWELI IN CONCERT:
When it comes to socially conscious hip hop, Talib Kweli is in a class all by himself. Combining a distinctly stylish delivery, a gift for intricate rhymes, and a passionate political message, his expertly produced tracks are just as likely to inspire debate as they are dancing. Whether he's collaborating with DJ Hi-Tek or rolling solo, Kweli always delivers a top-notch performance -- which is precisely why fans are so fired up about his 2014 Black Star reunion dates with longtime collaborator Mos Def.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Brooklyn-born rapper Talib Kweli Greene initially broke into the rap game through the Beat Junkies' Lyricist Lounge mixtape project. His subsequent work in Cincinnati with the group Mood resulted in a collaboration with producer Hi-Tek, with whom he has enjoyed a career-spanning creative partnership. While these projects made clear his prodigious talent, it wasn't until he linked up with Mos Def as Black Star that he really achieved widespread success. The critical and commercial success of their debut album Mos Def & Talib Kweli are Black Star played a major role in the record industry's growing recognition of underground hip-hop as a serious force, becoming a genre classic in the process. With six solo records now under his belt and a Black Star reunion hitting venues in 2014, the sky is the limit.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"Never seen Kweli live before, but I'll never forget it. Went out and bought Gutter Rainbows after it, and it's the real deal! Please go support our indie artists!"
"This bought back memories of being a teenager and jamming to REAL MUSIC. It was worth getting home late. Great show. Lots of energy."
"Absolutely amazing! These guys played their hearts out and rocked the place."
There was heat this time in the Asylum room which was a plus. The show ran on time. The two opening acts were full of energy. Talib was top notch. One of the best shows I've seen. Drinks are quite pricey.
Ticketmaster rooks you by making you think that you can get insurance on your tickets free. It doesn't give you a price and next thing I know I got to charged $16 for two tickets. Not talib kwali's fault, but I'm still not happy
Talib put on a great show. Just wish it was longer. The venue was perfect size and easy to find parking.
I missed the fact that Jay Electronica was not there but Dead Prez and Talib Kweli put on a great show
Talib Kweli didn’t even come on until midnight! His style live, left a lot to be desired.
GREAT! ALMOST FANTASTIC. ALL ACTS WERE ON POINT....MY CONDOLENCES TO JAY ELECTRONICA
Still one of the dopest mc's to grace the microphone. I had a choice of going to a Nas concert or Talib this year. Guess who won! Because i choose Substance and Crowd Presence over all. Nas is great dont get me wrong.but last time i seen both and Talib open for Nas, Talib did better. And i wasnt dissapointed coming from Carolinas to ATL to see him at the HEll MAsquarade. A++ performance Kweli!!! -Oldskool77
If you are a true hip hop head, this show did not disappoint! No gimmicks just bars!
The concert was great! Talib is a true wordsmith. So much positive energy throughout the venue. Would definitely see him again!
Pete rock and CL smooth were great. Something went wrong with talib's sound and he performed nothing. He was a dj for the night. I paid for VIP seating with the idea is see Talib. He's whack for not want to give his fans what they expected...a decent performance.
