Talib Kweli Gets Wrapped Up!

He speaks to our urban music blog…

Talib Kweli was recently in the UK and he caught up with our urban music blog The Wrap Upto talk all things hip-hop.

The rapper claims that he doesn't feel as if he is what many people may see as a 'proper' rapper, because he wasn’t a thug or a gangster:

“I didn’t grow up poor. I’m not a thug or a gangster; I don’t put on any airs.

"Talib Kweli is my birth name, I don’t think I’m a dancer and I don't have a lot of rhythm.

"I don’t think I’m naturally musically inclined, I just have a great love for music and so I had to figure out how I was going to translate that into a career.”
