Lyrical Analysis “Theives in the Night”
I was listening to one of my favorite hip hop albums, BlackStar, with Talib Kweli and Mos Def, and a song called “Thieves in the Night” started to play. It grasped my attention due to Mos Def’s rebuttal he delivered after his heavy-hitting verse:
A lot of people don’t understand the true criteria of things
Can’t just accept the appearance
Have to get the true essenceI love this lyric because it compliments how I feel in regards to how we should be. We all think we know what’s going on just by looking at the surface instead of getting the facts to help shape your perception. Let MMIM know what you feel Mos Def was referring to in his lyric.

Talib Kweli to Release Live DVD
This tuesday be on the lookout for Talib Kweli’s first live concert DVD. “Live at the Shrine” features 17 of the MC’s hits and also includes guest appearances from KRS-One, Strong Arm Steady, and Res. The DVD will also include behind the scenes footage and interviews.
“The crowd forms the ceremony. We’re the masters of the ceremony,” Kweli says in the film’s trailer. “And it’s just a beautiful feeling, man, that transition, the energy, from them to us, us to them. It can’t be contained. It can’t be described. It can only be felt.”
I never had the chance to see Talib in concert, so I am definitely looking forward to this release.
