Talib Kweli Everyone Wanted Kanye’s Beats, Not to Hear Him Rap, Even Roc A Fella (Flashback)

In this flashback, Talib Kweli spoke about meeting Kanye when he came in the studio to give Mos Def some beats. As Mos Def wasn’t in the studio at the time, Talib told Kanye to play the beats, and he admits that he was blown away by what he heard. Talib then pointed out that all the labels were trying to figure out how to get Kanye’s beats and not hear him rap, even Roc-A-Fella. From there, Talib spoke about how Kanye tries out lines on groups of people to get their reaction before it goes on an album, which you can hear more about above.
