Whether he's attempting to bridge the underground to the mainstream or simply pull away from the former, the results aren't wholly convincing. Talib Kweli - The Beautiful Struggle 2004.

The album was released in 2004, and features guest appearances by rappers such as Common and Jean Grae. The Beautiful Struggle, as with all of Talib Kwelis work, has a much more serious and conscious focus, providing an alternative to the norm of mainstream rap and hip hop. The album name, The Beautiful Struggle , from a inspirational quote from Yasiin Bey. The quote found inside the album liner notes is: Life is beautiful. Life is a struggle. Life is a beautiful struggle. Genre: Hip Hop. Talib Kweli takes a few swings for mainstream appeal after getting a few extra ears on him thanks to Jay-Z's if lyrics sold, truth be told, I'd probably lyrically Talib Kweli co-sign. Some, surprising, hit The Neptunes produced Broken Glass and Just Blaze's Never Been In Love while others are just outright misses what is the hell was he thinking with We Got The Beat. It's when Talib is staying in his own lane that the album works best,. read more. The Beautiful Struggle, 2004. We Know, 03:44. A Game, 03:35. Around My Way, 04:47. We Got the Beat, 03:19.
