Author: UPROXX August 12, 2019 Duration: 1:07:12
Talib Kweli and Jasmin Leigh sit down with Talib’s longtime friend and collaborator, Evidence. They discuss how his upbringing in Venice Beach and living next door to Quincy Jones’ son helped shape his love for hip-hop music and culture. They also talk about how he got his name from rapper and collaborator Everlast, showing LL Cool J one of his first songs, producing for Kanye West first debut album “College Dropout”, and the story behind his past “beef” with Eminem.

Each week on People's Party with Talib Kweli, the acclaimed rapper and thoughtful observer hosts a conversation that moves freely between the studio, the street, and the broader world. This UPROXX podcast is built on the premise that music, particularly hip-hop, is never created in a vacuum-it's a direct product of and commentary on the society around it. Kweli brings a lifetime of experience and a genuine curiosity to these dialogues, sitting down with iconic artists, producers, and cultural figures. The discussions are meandering and deep, often starting with a classic record or a career milestone before spiraling into examinations of history, social justice, creative process, and personal philosophy. You'll hear stories from inside the industry, unfiltered opinions on current events, and reflections on how culture shifts and is shifted by the voices in the room. It’s less a formal interview and more like listening in on a crucial, ongoing conversation between peers who have shaped the soundtrack of a generation. The tone is insightful, challenging, and grounded in a real love for the art form. For anyone interested in the forces that shape music and the people who make it, this podcast offers a unique, front-row seat to a party where the guest list is impressive and the talk is always substantive.
