Talib and mos def changed my entire hip hop experience. To this day I still rock their cds. Blackstarr was next level.
Shame its taken 20 plus years for a sequel...
You just took me back to rocking their CDs in the late 90s in my buddies (first friend that could drive) 83 Chrysler Leberon through home theater tower 12s lol...oh the good ol days of salt lake UT.
Most definitely
Yawp!
Sup Kane!
Talib: “did you do the black voice”
🤣🤣🤣
SUUUP KANE!
AYYYE YOUNG
Time stamp?
Around the 6 minute mark
Tom straight holding down THREE podcasts AND about to go in this huge tour. What a monster
What champ can do anything
Respect to his team as well
Uh HUNDRED percent *click click*
When I was 8 me and my dad were walking in LA and all of a sudden he was freaking out and he picked me up and ran across the street and dabbed up a random guy and told him how big of a fan he was and he was on the verge of tears. That man was talib. Crazyyy
The joy on Tim’s face when he gets props from these guests is what I’m here for lol
My favorite Comic and Lyricist… literally couldn’t be happier
I was hoping to see a bit of one on one though....
How happy Tom got when he got rap knowledge acknowledged by Talib.
“You know what it is. I just got props from Talib Kweli” 😂😂😂
Watching Tom's reaction when Talib said he'll play the second Black Star album. Is the most sincere thing.
Best hip hop show I was ever blessed to witness was BlackStar perform their full album in 2013. Yasiin and Talib and a single DJ. Dressed to the nines. Thank you Talib and Yasiin ❤️
One of the greatest albums ever!
I can’t have been the only one shouting “AESOP ROCK” when they brought up the cloud chart…I wonder if Aes is on Tom’s radar. I know he’s a divisive figure.
Yeah I was waiting for them to bring him up too!
Edit: He's not my cup of tea.
Facts
I know I was.
Most lyrical rapper of all time
For real.
The dude who actually dominated the chart.
Thieves in the night is still one of the best songs in any genre...
The Beautiful Struggle is one of the best albums of its era.
Reflection Eternal and Black Star are 2 of my favorite albums of all time!
The Outro on Reflection Eternal is tremendous!
^^^ Straight up. Reflection Eternal changed me forever. Saw them perform it many times as it was breaking.
That whole recording crew he was talking about really.. The Roots, De La, Tribe, Common.. they're just built different
Saw Black Star back in the day. Kweli is one the best to ever hold a mic.
Beautiful Struggle is an excellent album, in any genre.
This is fucking great. If Tom could get Badu on here that would be next level.
Why would anyone listen to her?
@Erik Williamson 😐
I bought a Talib Cd "Eardrum" awhile back not knowing who he was but boy was I surprised with how amazing and meaningful the music this man makes is!
Check out Quality and The Beautiful Struggle if you haven't
Eardrum is dope
As someone who is a punk musician, consumes 95% rock music... Blackstarr still changed my shit when I heard it for the first time. Same with Tribe.
Keep this train rolling and have Slick Rick on 😁
I feel like Quest Love would be a great guest too.
I was sittin on my lunch break grinnin my teeth. Its the last day of the week boy what a relief
Wow just wow!! Damn every single Tom Talks just tops the prior!
Right?
@@fukuuu Yes. She is correct. ✌️😎👍
That trip to Europe really changed Bert. He has never sounded more concise and reposed
Aesop Rock is #1 on that list. Talib needs to have him on his podcast.
I'd love to see that. Most Def should be there too as the (Andy Richter) sidekick. Aes is definitely #1 on that list
yup, Aesop killed everyone on that list.
Hell yes! I also comment this. No one touches Aesop. Impossible kid is such a killer album, not one weak track.
That newest aesop joint 😱
Lupe Fiasco recently put out a 45min video talking about why Aes is so dope.
Glad Tom mentioned Reflection Eternal- Train of Thought. That came out when I was in high school. I used to play that in my Sony CD player everyday, in the bus rides to and from school. I even did a Hip Hop magazine for a school project and in the magazine I reviewed that album (as well as Necro- I Need Drugs and Prodigy- HNIC). Those Rawkus days were great times.
Also, Electric Lady is near where Fat Beats used to be. That little section of Greenwich Village was the Mecca of Indie Hip Hop in NYC for years. Then a few blocks away is The Cellar- legendary comedy venue in NYC. A lot of history in Greenwich Village.
Blackstar changed the game for me bc all I listened to was Jeru, and Jedi Mind Tricks. First Blackstar album is a stick in the spokes and immediately made smart, thoughtful rhymes legit. This was a fucking fantastic interview. These Tom Talks episodes are incredible.
I love that Jedi Mind Tricks is up at the top with vocabulary chart.
Vinny Paz is definitely up there
Jedi mind tricks, AOTP, immortal technique was my intro to hip hop. And as a metalhead, I was all fuckin in
Nah Aesop Rock been there for at least a solid 5 years since I last checked it, Jedi up there tho
They're always a step above you like a pharmacist
It's happening just as I said it would...the healing phase of being "scared to death" is pneumonia, aka "flu". So as people are released from the solitary confinement of their homes (because of media and government lies based on the fraudulent Germ Theory), and people begin to get happy and feel less stressed, the result will be the healing phase....of pneumonia, flu, colds, general sickness. You can also see the light sensitivity, appendicitis in some, numerous tooth problems and gum swelling, laryngitis, etc. The fear campaign has caused ALL the illnesses, not a Boogey Virus.
Every disease is based on the Germ Theory, which was the theory of ONE man over 100 years ago. It was never proven to be 100% valid, and has not even been QUESTIONED again. Why? In order for a theory to be valid, it must be reproduceable in each and every person 100% of the time. Every single person exposed to a "virus" MUST get sick from it 100% of the time, over and over again. It's how you PROVE a theory is valid. This was never done. Scientists used to think witches and witchcraft were valid!! Educated people?? hahaha!! If you cannot "catch" cancer, arthritis or diabetes from another person, then you cannot "catch" a cold or flu. There is no such thing that only SOME diseases are communicable, but not all. It's either all or none of them...they are all based on the same Germ Theory. If you can't “catch" someone's lung cancer, you can't "catch" their colds or flu. Upsetting and distressing events in a person's life is what causes ALL cancer and cancer-equivalent disease, cold, flu, pneumonia, bronchitis, etc. A massive fear campaign will CAUSE people to be "worried sick", but sickness doesn't happen until people resolve their fears. Why do you think kids get sick in October? Because their fear of going back to school and being upset about it finally dissolves, and they get back into their routines. What the media and government is doing to people is criminal.
So of course, when everyone is allowed to escape the hostage situation the governments have put their people into, and they start relaxing about the "scary virus" that's not in any way transmissible, they will begin their healing phase (get sick), and the corrupt governments will call it a different “scary” word, a different Boogey Man coming to get you.....repeat the same mistakes that never worked from the beginning, re-institute the same restrictions that only made people more traumatized, and more panic will ensue as well as martial law, a removal of all your rights, and you let it happen. The longer people allow this government to hold them hostage in their homes, the more severe the "sickness" will be. Western Medicine is pure fraud, and people's lives are destroyed because of it. Welcome to the United States of China.
Toms compliment at 3:30, Talibs like yeah, "I paint a picture with the pen like Norman Mailer"
One of the best rappers alive. Todd talks is such a good podcast and Talib joked about which show he was gonna be on hahah
Absolutely killing it with this podcast. Such an interesting and engaging convo.
Leave it to Tommy to host a serious podcast and give the guests water in a “Big Farts Brewing….” Mug. Classy!
This was a killer podcast. Watching Tom fan out was great. You can see his genuine interest and that translates really well as a listener. Much applause
Talib & Mos Def both come across as super talented and really humble, down to earth. it's really inspiring.
been really getting into Tom's comedy & podcasts lately. this is good stuff
Tom's on a never ending journey to prove his worth in saying BIG words
Ok, dork
Talib Kweli man... Fucking legend. Thank to both of you for this episode.
We are in this moment very lucky:) Thanks Big Daddy Jeans!
I love this. I need to watch the other ones with producers/rappers. Thank you, Tom.
“Train of Thought” album (Talibs collab with Hi Tek) still in my rotation til this day
You gotta get Yasin Bey "Mos Def" on Tom Talks
I love Talib!!!! Lyrically he is 🔥🔥🔥🙌🏻
Brilliant pod. So great to see Tom geek out and them still having obvious mutual respect. Thanks.
One of the best podcasts I’ve ever listened too. Thank y’all!
I love this. The respect between the both of you is so uplifting. Great podcast. Subscribed.
Number 5 on the rapper’s vocabulary chart was the legendary MF DOOM RIP
Of Course
Talib Kweli... man Black Star was/is my joint. I'm from Wash DC area and was living in Warsaw, Poland for around 5 years. We didn't get many top artists coming that far. Most stopped at Berlin. So I heard Talib Kweli was coming not just to town but to a little amphitheater just near my flat. Man I can be unmotivated to go out sometimes but I for sure went to his show and represented best I could. Thanks for making it that far man. I wonder if you remember that? Cheers
I love that the beginning of this is a straight up fan talking to someone they admire to becoming homies with the same dude. Saved this once I saw it pop up at work and couldn't wait to hear it. Didn't get the day off so i played it on my route and just finished the last 30 min with a joint rolled up at home. Excellent!
This was an absolutely legendary episode. Keep it up Tom you’re killin it
I grew up on Talib and MosDef. SoundBombers mix tapes.. my high school days
Literal same!!!
Y’all old as hell for real haha
@@jroddhuncho7681 I was soundbombing in college. So oooooold
Just a fantastic conversation. Lots of mutual respect, and great to see Tom get to fan out.
I’m a huge Tom Segura fan and your moms house fan but because this dude sounds so chill and cool I’m going to subscribe to his shit on Spotify that was some good cross promotion boys
THATS AWSOME BROTHER. CHECK OUT BLACKSTARR FIRE
Get By remains a perfect song. Love Talib Kweli.
Word. Kanye produced that way back as well.
i am so happy for tom. these tom talks are some of the best interviews ever
I absolutely love these deep dives with the hip hop OGs. Super dope
Great interview - I learned something. blessings / i gotta listen to this podcast more often. thanks for sharing
Fantastic. Love the rappers. Good stuff tom, keep em coming
One I been looking forward to
Whoa Whoa Whooaaaa 1. 2. 3. Tommy Buns and Talib Kweli. Came to rock it to the tip top.... Best alliance in hip hop...
Love the story Dave told on the Tonight Show about when he and Talib Kweli first met Kanye, and they realized he would be a superstar. “Because my life is dope, and I do dope shit.” 😆
Talib just draws my focus right in with his stories and composure. If I could lock-in to my studies this way anything is possible haha. Tom ty for making this happen and being soo genuine and DTE- it makes your guests do the same.. Talib is the best
One of my favorite rappers and cool guy in person. Also repping the Orlando Magic with that hat. Great job, Tom!
so dope to see talib on this podcast. reflection eternal is top 3 fav albums for me and blackstar so legendary
2 mins in, i had to pause and listen to The Blast first. Then to talk about the reflections eternal and Hi-tek? Dope.. Dope
Another ridiculously fantastic episode. Damn.
This dude makes me wanna check out hip hop. So i will, Thx dude and TOm
This is what i needed today. Perfect.
I will never lose my High-Tek, Black Star, & Reflection Eternal CDs. Honestly I can rotate those three all day everyday pure classic isn't giving the enough justice.
Tom is so happy this is great.
Someone PLEASE clip all the times that Tom said "yuh nahh mean" in this podcast
Who doesn't love love?
Word.
Talib is just an absolute legend. Loved this.
Thank you for this Tom Segura 🖤
Great guest this was a gem. Tom and Talib hanging out that was dope
This was awesome, what a legend
Great interview, just watched you two on the People's Party another great convo.
Great pod btw. this is next level
damn Tom, my favorite comedian and podcaster has Talib Kweli, activist, mc, author and fellow podcast host... just wow. amazing people linking up. I love it.
I disagree with Lauryn Hill not being indebted to paid ticket buyers. Your art IS your product once it's for sale. I can't expect much fun a free show in the park but if I paid for tickets to see you, you owe me a good show.
Or at least the effort
How dare you
Thanks Tom, now I’ve got more new old rap to listen to
I love this podcast. Tom is damn good at interviewing. Learning about all the different types of guests he has on is awesome
Love both these guys.
Why does Aesop Rock never get the respect for ACTUALLY being the number one guy on the vocabulary chart?
THANK. YOU.
I was watching like. "Oh so there just gonna glaze over our boy Aesop?" lol
take money money pigs
Aesop Rock is what hip hop heads call nerd rap and is definitely an acquired taste for most. He really does not fit most people's perception of what hip hop is given that he is so cryptic and verbose, so it shouldn't be a surprise that many hip hop heads dont pay him much mind, since his music is so different than the other people who are high on the list. I mean I bump Aes but when I say "hip hop" I totally understand that he is not what most people think of.
@@N8DulcimerOld I refuse to accept that hip hop is all bitches and bling... and there's already "nerdcore."
Talib and Tom are 2 of the best performers I’ve seen multiple of their live show and all were top level performances
I had not heard any of Talib's work prior to listening to this podcast. I am now interested and will download Blackstar. Tom is getting great guests and is doing a fantastic job despite his pain from surgery.
Such a chill dude, awesome to see!
The Tom Talks have been 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great interview, I knew Talib was cool, but this dude is on another level, humble, confident, knowledgeable, cool, and funny. So amazing!
More Rappers Please. This was DOPE.
Another Blackstar album? Heck yes!
So dope he mentioned lyricist lounge! Mayday mayday!
tom be geekin hard, love it
This is kinda epic. I grew up on Black Star.
they were the soundtrack of the late 90's for me.
dope dope album
Beautiful struggle what a record....its an honest hip hop album.
2 beasts in their genres!! RESPECT
Talib is one of the best in the world at his craft as is Tom I'm so excited for this ep.
Respiration was my favorite song off the black star album. I'm a white boy from ohio and I feel like more people should listen to intellectual hip hop. It definitely informed me more than if I wasnt a fan
That Thursday night show was the shit! Was not expecting these two to be there. Was a real treat and bonus IMO!
Another fire episode!!!
A phenomenal interview!
This is huge! Talib ls important!
Hey Tom, just saw you last week in Greensboro NC, Amazing show man, I already have a feeling you are about to drop on the greatest specials of all time at the end of this tour if that show was supposed to be just workout material. Can't wait to see you again man, true professional comedian, and great episode with Talib as well, keep it up man!
I’m gonna see him September!!
@@GLo1991 Have fun man, actually one of the best live stand ups I've ever seen. Ticket never felt more worth the price!
@@trapperdan37 thanks! I’ve seen him once before but this is at a smaller venue in Irvine I can’t wait
Great episode!!
Oh shit! Two of my faves! 😎 🙏
