The unique insight and perspective of Talib Kweli and his team never fails to teach me something new about the guest and their conversations are both entertaining and inspiring! Mad love

Edited after seeing a recent instagram post from TK! Appreciate all the hard work gone into the podcast and most of the guest lineups have been good. Buuuuuuuuuuuut, So much consistent talk on racism and “white privilege” I’m Caucasian and felt really uncomfortable listening to Talib Kweli in the...Read full review »

Great host & fascinating guests. Insightful discussions of hip hop, comedy, activism, and, occasionally, politics. Talib Kwahli is an excellent interviewer who asks great questions. The overall tone is smart and positive, with plenty of humor sprinkled in.

The interview with Havoc from Mobb Deep made me need to leave a review. Talib guides the conversation like only someone can who has the deepest knowledge, respect, and love for their guests. As a listener you don’t even need to be familiar with the guests to be inspired. Highly recommended for...Read full review »

Where is the Rockness Monsta interview?

Yo! Talib! Thank you for digging deep into the culture and history with these foundational figures of hip hop. Every podcast inspires me. Thanks to the individuals involved and the positive vibes. This will end up in a library some day. It’s hip hop history, straight from the horses’ mouths.

I love the interviews, the content, the guest, the vibe, everything. I would have given this 5 stars but there’s just 1 thing I don’t love and it’s the cohost. She throws the vibe or the conversation off a lot to me. Seriously this podcast is definitely in the top 5 for me. The research and...Read full review »

You need this dude, he’s a podcast king, and his life story is amazing to boot! He has his own Podcast Take Your Shoes Off (TYSO) and has been on Tigerbelly, Bad Friends, Trash Tuesdays, and many other more… He knows Will Smith Ask about Magic the Gathering cards get him to rap then ask him...Read full review »

The Monche interview is my favorite so far. I used to listen to it consistently but since it moved behind the pay wall I stopped. I would rather listen to commercials. Oh well

I don’t know if the recent uploads are just snippets but I wanna hear the whole thing. I like to drive and listen to these and I cant have youtube up while using the GPS. Help us out.

The Tom Morello interview was only 5 min long? The interviews never used to be like this?

I know the aim is to have more guests on the show but Seth Green ain’t the one

Why?!
pomjjjvcc via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/16/21
This show has provided me more background and understanding of Hip Hop than any other source I’ve ever heard. The research done by Kweli and the team and the thoughtful questions makes this my favorite podcast.
AndyLaPointe via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/04/21
Large up to Jasmin Leigh! Just saw the Bob Saget interview and she is featured more prominently in that episode. Keep up the great work sister👍🏿👋🏿. And Kweli is doing his thing with having dope guests🙏🏿

When it got to the Skyzoo interview the posted content is only 10 minutes max What happened
LightsOn81 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/26/21
Everybody cool with Kweli whitewashing gang affiliation like it’s just a form of community uplift? Couldn’t listen to it, Kweli so fake in terms of the ethics he espouses and the silence he exhibits. SMDH.

Talib is a great host, he has amazing guests, I can’t get enough of this podcast! So informal, it really gives you a great peek into the hip hop world and lessons about life! I feel like everyone should listen to this podcast, if you’re not, what are you doin?
Shawn Syrba via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/16/21
Love the premise of the show, just wish they had a different host. If you scroll through you’ll see talib focuses on black men. Given his problematic history with women, it’s a bummer he takes no effort to promote or rectify that with this new platform given he’s been banned from other platforms...Read full review »

So now we have to pay $4.99 for podcast now. I think not bruh. The show is awesome tho. But it’s not like drink champs or big facts.
Jason.bolden229 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/06/21
If you love black people and black culture then this is FOR YOU!! I love Talib’s music and have been a fan since I was a teen (I’m in my 30’s now) and he may be even better at interviewing and podcasting than perhaps mcing (with respect)
valrid dk via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/05/21
I learn so much from these interviews. T.K is a true triple threat: an amazing artist, interviewer, and activist.

Bummer
12FootDinghy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/03/21
The thing that sticks out the most for me listening to this pod is Kweli’s skill as an interviewer/conversationalist, which, I think, stems largely from his intellect and gracious demeanor as a host, as well as the breadth/depth of knowledge about hip-hop music and culture he naturally displays...Read full review »

Thank you Kweli. We the people appreciate what your doing for us. Great conversations, great guests. Excited to be given the opportunity to listen to some of the most influential icons in hip hop and hear stories many haven’t heard before.

Love Talib and Jasmine!!
drogasenmilingua via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/08/21
Talib and most of the guests are great but... Every episode is ruined by the co-host Every question she asks feels laboured and unnatural Every time she tries to join in a riff between the guest and Talib it’s like a child amongst adults and hurts the flow of the interview
@iloveyouyouareloved via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/03/21
Kweli and Jasmine Leigh are engaging, ask smart and intriguing questions at a good cadence, and offer different perspectives on topics. I learn so much from each episode about a variety of topics, not just hip hop. I recommend this podcast to all my friends.
Allipyne via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/15/21
Fantastic Podcast overall. Intelligent declarations, and interviews from a true Student of Aristotle. Master Kweli delivers real, in depth conversations, with unique, and interesting guests. The maturity he demonstrates when engaging those with a difference of opinion is especially refreshing....Read full review »

Thanks so much for this awesome podcast and all of the talented guests who have real conversations about important issues related to history and current events.

I’m more of a music head than someone who typically listens to podcasts. I’ll typically put on some music while I deliver the mail for the day on my route and that works for me. That is, until I found this podcast. It’s intelligent, thought-provoking, genuine, and highly enjoyable. I’m a fan.
Josh Riffhouse via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/16/21
I listened to that podcast and I really liked it
#cuebas via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/14/21
Discovered on YouTube. Great show. Talib and Jasmin are great interviewers.
Sfahey_imp via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/07/21
I love this show. It pulls at the stories of each guest. A great contribution to humanity.
scatterbadder via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/23/21
Great guests, awesome chemistry with the hosts and touches on so many different topics that it cannot be considered solely a hip hop podcast
Ilnino86 via Apple Podcasts · South Africa · 03/22/21
Really enjoying this podcast, getting deep with some big names in the music industry.
