There’s no question as to the effect Talib Kweli has had on Hip Hop over the past few years. The Brooklyn MC has been a steady fixture in music since the mid-90’s when he first caught the ears of fans on Rawkus Records, appearing on recordings such as the Lyricists Lounge and Soundbombing series’, as well as on his own collaborative recordings with Mos Def (Black Star), DJ Hi Tek (Reflection Eternal), several solo albums and mixtapes, his own latest group project Idle Warship, and with his own music label, Blacksmith.
And it is no secret that Kweli has collaborated with a diverse array of artists throughout his career, including Snoop Dogg, Ghostface Killah, Busta Rhymes, Killer Mike, Saigon, Mary J. Blidge, Anthony Hamilton, UGK, Norah Jones and Justin Timberlake, to name a few.
But Kweli’s latest collaboration, the song ‘Poltergeist’ on which he is featured with Gucci Mane, has drawn some criticism from the Hip Hop blog sphere. In a story that appears on HipHopDX.com, blogger Mychal Smith, in an article entitled “The Demise of the Conscious Rapper”, takes Kweli to task for the collaboration. Smith writes that “[Kweli] wants to serve everyone...I understand not wanting to be singularly defined, but when you try to be everything to everyone you end up being nothing to no one."
In response to the article and in talking about his upcoming release, Prisoner of Conscious, Kweli is quoted as saying that Hip Hop “is like bipartisan politics these days. Everyone chooses sides and argues for the sake of the argument, not to actually achieve any clarity." He also talked about the importance of reaching various types of fans. “I am a man and an artist of the people. When I say that, I do not just mean people I agree with, people who understand me or people I can relate to. I mean the people in the truest sense of the term.”
Responding directly to Smith and his article, Kweli had this to say: “Now I don't know Mychal Smith, but what I do know is he is a blogger that follows me on Twitter, and I guess my decision to record with Gucci Mane bothered him enough to blog about it, declaring my move a part of the demise of the conscious rapper. I offer a different take. I say people like Mychal Smith are every bit as caught up in the flashing lights as the 'ignorant' masses they like to judge. Instead of celebrating it, they get joy from speaking against it.”
A date for the release of Kweli’s latest album, Prisoner of Conscious, is yet to be set. Fans can visit Talib Kweli on MySpace, Twitter and on his website YearoftheBlacksmith.com
These days the lines between the rap games’ veterans and rookies, and everyone in between, seem to be blurring every minute. For example, by the buzz he’s been able to create, you’d think Drake has been involved in this rap ish for years. And there are countless MCs resurfacing to reclaim their place among Hip Hop’s elite after many a lengthy hiatus.
And then you have someone like Consequence, who literally HAS been in the game since ’96 with his much talked-about debut on Beats, Rhymes and Life by A Tribe Called Quest. And then there were a series of stops and starts over the course of Cons’ career that would have made a lesser MC go and look for that day job (pun intended). In between, he released both a debut mixtape with Take ‘Em To The Cleaners in ’04 and Don’t Quit Your Day Job in ’07, respectively.
To put it plainly, it’s been a long and winding road for Cons in becoming a household name in Hip Hop, even with a co-sign from the one and only Kanye West (remember “The Good, The Bad, The Ugly” from … Day Job?). For these and a few other reasons, many heads may still not know much about who Consequence is and what he’s accomplished thus far in his career. Therefore, it’s not stretch to say that the Queens native is treading a fine line between being a seasoned vet and an MC on the verge of stardom.
But these days, things are truly looking up for the Con man and everything he’s doing. He released the mixtape, Movies On Demand, earlier this year in anticipation of his sophomore album. Interviewed by HipHopDX.com earlier this year, Consequence commented on Movies…, “I think Movies On Demand definitely mirrors Take 'Em To The Cleaners. You can definitely see the growth in Movies On Demand though, and it's crazy that there's growth at this present moment though.”
The former 2007 BHFer has also had a busy year by collaborating with the likes of Common and Talib Kweli on the song “G.O.O.D. Music”, as well as Asher Roth on the joint “Childish Games” (available on YouTube), as well as doing a remix of one of the year’s most popular joints, Drakes’ “Find Your Love”, available at musicblips.dailyradar.com.
Consequence is also currently featured on xxlmag.com for a partnership between XXL and Heineken entitled Up Next: A Collaboration to Find the Next Rising Star, complete with a short bio, uploaded songs and a bunch more that fans can savor. There’s also video on xxlmag.com of Con commenting on the emergence of fellow G.O.O.D. Music affiliate Big Sean and commending his work ethic.
So, like many a BHF Alumni before him, Consequence has had a year that’s seen a lot of growth and a lot more attention. We’ll see how the rest of the summer plays out for this Queens MC and his new project. Stay tuned.
Consequences’ sophomore offering, Cons TV, is scheduled for release later this summer on G.O.O.D. Music/Universal Motown, is executive produced by BOTH Q-Tip and Kanye West and features contributions from both.
"If skills sold, truth be told/I'd probably be, lyrically, Talib Kweli." - Jay Z
If skills sold, Talib Kweli would have been one of the most commercially successful rappers of his time. His resume speaks for itself: Black Star, appearances with the Roots, multiple albums with Hi-Tek and the creation of the Blacksmith label. If you can make it out, go see this guy.

J. PERIOD: NO REST FOR THE MIXTAPE HEAVYWEIGHT!
By Ron Grant
The presence of mixtape master J. Period has been felt BHF for the last two go rounds in 2008 and 2009. And ever since, it looks like there haven’t been many restful days for one of today’s most sought-after DJs.
Just take a glance at the 2009 J. had: the release of five big-name mixtape tributes for artists including Nneka, Biggie, Q-Tip, Talib Kweli and the late, great Michael Jackson. A multi-tribute mixtape composed of work by K’Naan, Bob Marley, Bob Dylan AND Fela Kuti. A feature on the biggest game of 2009, DJ Hero. A total of 800,000 downloads for his online mixtapes. Even a video remix collection for B.I.G. available at www.jperiod.com/march9 that was made available in April 2009!
And it hasn’t stopped there. According to info from http://www.jperiod.com/news/, the L.A. DJ and mix master is featured in DJ Times magazine as one of the premiere DJs for career advice and studio tips. J. was also recently featured on an episode of BET’s “The Deal”. Viewers were treated to an interview between host DJ Diamond Kuts and J. about his time in the industry; his accomplishments, collaborations, production techniques and much more.
To add some icing on the cake, J. was the featured DJ at last weeks’ (May 20) BRM “Not Without A Fight” benefit event, a fundraiser to help save Beyond Race Magazine right here in NY. At the Santos Party House, J. rocked an early set with some of his most exclusive remixes from the likes of Black Thought, Kweli and Q-Tip, and held it down all night long in between artists. And it was all for a great cause.
It’s clear that the life of a DJ in today’s hip hop game is not for the faint of heart or for those that value sleep, and J. Period is a big-time example of just that.

From North by Northwestern
Over 2,100 students attended the spring A&O Ball at the Riviera Theater on Friday, according to A&O Productions. Buses loaded up in front of SPAC and Cahn to transport students downtown to see rapper Talib Kweli and synthpop band Passion Pit.
“Where’s Northwestern at in this motherfucker?” Kweli shouted as he opened the show dressed in black jeans and a gray jacket.
With accompaniment by DJ Hi-Tek, whom Kweli records with under the name Reflection Eternal, the show wasn’t entirely solo. Kweli kicked off his set with “Move Something,” a song from Reflection Eternal’s 2000 debut, Train of Thought. It’s been a while since Kweli went solo, as his last album, Ear Drum, came out in 2007. But with Reflection Eternal due in May – the duo’s first album in 10 years – Kweli still had something to promote.
“Ya’ll sound good out there,” he said before introducing some upcoming material. “We’ve got to give them something for that. Let’s give them some new shit.”
The acapella “Revolutions per Mindset’s” showcased his rapid-fire rhyming ability while “Midnight Hour,” another upcoming Reflection Eternal song that features Estelle, had its live debut that evening. Kweli didn’t ignore his bigger hits either, performing his verse from Kanye West’s “Get ‘Em High” as well ”Definition,” a song by Black Star, his side project with fellow rapper Mos Def.
The crowd’s biggest response came with fan favorite and set closer “Get By,” one of the breakthrough songs off his 2002 solo debut, Quality. As screen images of civil rights leaders accompanied the song’s recognizable bass line, Kweli called for all hands in the air.

Only in New York City – scratch that - only in Brooklyn, can you casually run into an iconic artist and actually have a conversation with them. At least that’s what happened to me one random evening at BK Bowl. I saw Q-Tip along side ?uestlove while spinning at the DJ Booth and took a chance. Being a journalist, I’ve found meeting some artists proves disheartening. They sometimes say or do things that ruin their image for you. I was happily surprised when Q-Tip proved to be as humble as he is talented. He allowed me to pick his brain about everything from his relationship with Dilla, the future of hip-hop and working with Apache.
Check out Tip's thoughts on all the above along with his special message for Jay-Z:
BB: Do you still feel like you have something to prove musically after being in the game for so long?
Q-Tip: It’s not that I have anything to prove, it’s that I still feel I have a lot to find out. It just don’t stop you know what I mean? Music is an ongoing process, a journey, so it hasn’t stopped for me.
BB: Who are you listening to now?Q-Tip: I stay listening to anything Dilla, cause that’s just where my head is at. The Reflection Eternal album, Talib, Hi-Tek, Jay Electronica - stuff along those lines.
BB: Do you have a favorite Dilla track? Or is it too hard to choose?
Q-Tip: Yeah you know I don’t have a fave one. I’m just happy to have been associated with him and to watch him work and just to be down.
BB: Are there any new up-and-coming artists you are checking for? People we should look out for? Q-Tip: This cat YP from Chicago who is nice. This group SKI, Spree Wilson, Rocky Marciano from Brooklyn – he’s nice. Amanda Diva – I also fucks with her.
BB: What do you think is the future of Hip-Hop now?
Q-Tip: Jay Electronica. I think he is the future. I think he is the shit. Hopefully we can continue to go in that direction of cats like him and Lupe. Hopefully, we can get more musical and less critical and opinionated.
BB: With the recent passing of Apache (R.I.P), do you want to reflect on how you came to work with him on the beat of "Gangsta Bitch"? How was that experience?
Q-Tip: That was on me. I just knew him for a while, he was fucking with 45 K and Latifah so he was just always around, and he was a really cool dude. He was working on his shit and he wanted me to fuck with him. So, I made the “Gangsta Bitch” beat for him. He was just a cool, cool dude man. Just watching him in the studio with Latifah all the time, he held her down on a lot of shit. He was just a stand up dude. I just feel sad that he is gone.
BB: You seem to be very selective when it comes to picking artists to produce for. So how do you go about choosing projects?
Q-Tip: I just try to work with people who I admire or whom I think has got it. So right now I’m working on Nas’ shit, about to work with Kanye on his shit. Just trying to keep up my momentum. I’m about to work with Talib on his project. I been trying to work with Hova for a while so hopefully he’ll realize the heat I got and come with it [laughs].
BB: Do you have any other solo projects coming up?
Q-Tip: My solo shit is on deck for sometime this year. I can’t reveal what the name of it is just yet but I’m real excited about it. So for all the people that fucked with the "Renaissance" and knew what it was, or for those who are just finding out now –- we going to come crazy on this one. And the Nas shit is going to be fucking bananas. Look for that at the end of the year.
