A Soulful Noise
Talib Kweli Decodes Lyrics Upon Request
While we could all agree that Talib Kweli was pretty cool before, he has permanently removed any room for doubt by giving extreme praise for Jay-Z's Decoded, which maintains its place in the top 10 on the New York Times Best Sellers list since its debut at #3 in November 2010. Inspired by the novel concept of allowing fans to uncover the true meaning of lyrics as well as the motivating thoughts behind songs, Talib has decided to do the same. Respectfully refraining from imitating Jay-Z by writing a book of his own, he is allowing people to gain the same insight into his songs by breaking down some of his lyrics. Once his fans respond to a blog post on Year of the Blacksmith and request songs to be discussed, he will decode the top eight requested tracks. Clearly busy with the upcoming release of his new album, it's refreshing to see Talib take time to respond to his public.
