Get By

Talib Kweli is widely acknowledged as being an underrated and under appreciated emcee, who despite attempts to break into the mainstream on MTV, the Chappelle show, and even basketball commercials, remains an underground staple. Or, perhaps, stapled to the underground.

My favorite song of his (barring the whole Black Star album) is "Get By" from 2002. The song was produced by Kanye West years before he was the vuitton backpack sporting mogul he is today - and he used the best piano sample I have ever heard on a song.

It's been 7 years and I still can't get the song out of my head.
