    Saw Kweli live with Mos Def this year, great show. Kweli isn't as good live as Mos Def, but what you realise when seeing both alongside each other is that Kweli has the better catalog. That said, it makes for a great concert, I've also seen Kweli when he supported the College Dropout tour - was more hyped for him than Kanye lol.

    I still need to make a thread about that concert, I got a lot of videos and pictures.. here's one:

    LOL I wasn't sure what to make of the Mic's, although it was cool.

    Don't know about back pack rap, looks more like business rap to me…

    No! Kweli must be one of your favorite artists. Mos Def over Kweli's awkward flow any day.

    I'm with you in terms of an emcee, he's on another level, in most aspects of being an emcee… but at a concert, as much as Mos completely killed Kweli's stage presence, I was more hyped for Kweli's catalog than I was Mos'. Kweli just has a bigger catalog to choose from and he's really got a much more solid catalog when you consider that Black Star, RE's: Train of Thought, Quality are all classed as solid 4/5 albums… his other albums aren't far behind either… Mos Def's BOBS and Black Star are his best works, but I definitely think Kweli released more in the past years and has a nod on him over Mos…
