Listen free to Talib Kweli Eardrum Everything Man, NY Weather Report and more. 20 tracks 77:39. Album 2007 20 Songs. It turns rhymes into song, into something you can feel, something that moves you. And while Talib Kweli certainly has the lyrical aspect down, often his albums - and to be fair, those of other so-called conscious MCs - tend to suffer from a dearth of good beats.

Album release date: 7 August 2007. Everything Man. Not available in Russian Federation. On Talib Kweli's most recent studio album, 2004's uneven The Beautiful Struggle, he couldn't leave a bad idea alone. Every concept was weighed on triple beams, each line raked over with a fine-toothed comb, and each beat polished to the point of oblivion. The good news is that Talib rebounds on Eardrum, continuing a trend he began with Liberation, his net-only collaboration with Madlib. The BK MC here sounds confident and relaxed- he doesn't try to knock it out of the park with every turn at bat, instead letting the album's themes and motifs slowly unfold over 20 tracks.
