More From Talib Kweli

Socially, hip-hop has done more for racial camaraderie in this country than any one thing. 'cause guys like me, my kids - everyone under 45 either grew up loving hip-hop or hating hip-hop, but everyone under 45 grew up very aware of hip-hop. so when you're a white kid and you're listening to this music and you're being exposed to it every day on mtv, black people become less frightening. this is just a reality. what hip-hop has done bringing people together is enormous.

To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?

Quentin tarantino is a hip-hop artist. i told him, "you're hip-hop!" you keep seeing surprises, and a clip here and there, because quentin is hip-hop. a hip-hop artist will drop a single, leak something over here, and drop something over there 'cause he knows it's hot. he's on the spot with the way he does things.

Hip-hop is diverse. but the white, capitalist producers and distributors of hip-hop are most interested in the hip-hip that is misogynist, that is black-hating, that is pugilistic, that is to say all about fighting and war and killing and gangsterism.

The beautiful thing about hip-hop is it's like an audio collage. you can take any form of music and do it in a hip-hop way and it'll be a hip-hop song. that's the only music you can do that with.

Similar Quotes
There are two kinds of love: we love wise and kind and beautiful people because we need them, but we love (or try to love) stupid and disagreeable people because they need us. this second kind is the more divine because that is how god loves us: not because we are lovable but because he is love, not because he needs to receive but he delights to give.
Beautiful Wise Stupid
I thought of all the others who had tried to tie her to the ground and failed. so i resisted showing her the songs and poems i had written, knowing that too much truth can ruin a thing. and if that meant she wasn't entirely mine, what of it? i would be the one she could always return to without fear of recrimination or question. so i did not try to win her and contented myself with playing a beautiful game. but there was always a part of me that hoped for more, and so there was a part of me that was always a fool.
Beautiful Song Winning

There is nothing on earth more beautiful to me than your smile...no sound sweeter than your laughter...no pleasure greater than holding you in my arms. i realized today that i could never live without you, stubborn little hellion that you are. in this life and the next, you’re my only hope of happiness. tell me, lillian, dearest love...how can you have reached so far inside my heart?
