uhh.. i decided to make this topic cause i feel like he's soooo underrated.. :'( and he really got some sick stuff that gives me goosebumps like 'Get By', 'Africa Dream' or 'Old School' with Doom.

he's got flow, he's got lyrics and people are like 'meh, Talib.. ' :'( i say thou shall listen to Talib!!! :shifty:

I like some of his stuff, but i cant listen to him religiously.

On "oldschool" Doom lyrically outshines Talib :shifty: :shifty:

^ i don't listen to him religiously either lol but he definitely deserves more credit. i've heard singles form "Ear Drum" and to be honest, can't wait to hear the rest. :smoking:

and i guess both verses on 'Old School' are great, and Doom's got some sick rhymes there :smoking: but Talib's verse is dope too, my fave lines would be
/I was, makin up a miracle flow, over a cereal bowl
And a paused beat from my stereo/ from Talib's

and

/Ooh wee, like a Hong Kong Phooey kick
Or a weekend afternoon, karate movie flick/ from Doom's lmao it's great :D

The sound of his voice makes it hard for me to focus on his lyrics and makes me contemplate suicide. When I read his shit it's cool, but I can't stand listening to him. But yeah props to him cuz he's pretty good

^ lol hope Asp won't read it.. - i can't listen to Doom for the same reason, but shhh.. :shifty:


but in this case i ain't got problem with Talib's voice, actually i've never had. :-k i got to like him from the first time i've heard him and i'm kinda happy about it, he's really good. :8)
