Talib Kweli is a legendary MC and an old friend so we keep it real in this convo about how he works with Yasiin Bey aka Mos Def and why he loves to argue with people online. Amazing convo. After we wrapped he said thanks for letting get into the online stuff. No one ever asks about that. We kept it real.

Consequence is an MC who’s worked closely with Kanye. Some say he’s Kanye’s ghostwriter. Is he? We talk about it. Plus what it’s like to work with Kanye including how Kanye totally screwed up Cons’s solo career. Also what it’s like to grow up with Q-Tip. This is a real inside-an-MC’s-life kindof conversation. One of my favorites of the year. Host & Writer: Touré Executive Producers: Ryan Woodhall and Ashley J.
