Talin Kweli “Off The Porch” Interview
We recently got to catch up with the legendary Brooklyn MC Talib Kweli! During our chat he told us what his experiences were growing up in Bedstuy, how his parents influenced him, and how being into music, movies, and poetry shaped his artistry. He shared when he initially jumped “off the porch”, why he started to take the craft and culture serious at 15yrs old. Kweli explained why he thinks people downplay conscious rappers, Jay z shouting him out in a song, and he told us a few stories about the classic single “Get By”!
Also, while we were catching up, he shared with us what it was like to work with Madlib, dropping music on MySpace, working on Liberations 1 & 2. Spending time in Africa, how he met Dave Chapelle, working on Reflection Eternal, what Combat Jack meant to the culture, addressing people in the comments on social media, how he helps his community stay aware, he talked about the book club, meeting Kanye, working with his daughter and much more!
