lol why is Talib Kweli on the Donaeo album

also lol: Donaeo's James Brown impression

Is Kweli the first US rapper to appear on an (I'm assuming) UK funky track? As a guest in his own right rather than remix form, I mean.
He strikes me as the worst possible rapper to put over funky but that's neither here nor there.

ha i didn't realise that was talib kweli, the promo version came without guest vocalist info (SO ANNOYING WHY CAN'T PEOPLE FIX UP)

I guess this is maybe not the best existing thread for it, but here's an excellent interview with Rizzla about appropriation in dance music:

love "bank head". the part where the vocals keep jumping up to those high notes kept reminding me of something, finally figured out that it's 'stillness is the move'.
(rizzla article is great too)

"Bank Head" is totally on slow burner status
― sandra dayo connor (The Reverend), Monday, 8 April 2013 21:42 (eleven years ago) link
it hasn't burned for me yet, felt a bit like a lesser "take me"
though this whole axis has been disappointing me for a year or more now so *shrug*

f2m/ns/qb camp's been hyping kelela for a bit, i haven't listened to other stuff she's done yet. she was opening on the solange tour, dunno if still.
but yeah this rules, he's been dropping it in his mixes for a while now and it's always stood out.
