The other day Talib stopped over by the Occupy Wall Street protests in Manhattan and performed the Black Star classic “Thieves In The Night” and verses from an as-yet-unreleased track, “Distraction.”

Look I don’t really know what the whole movement of Ocuppy Wallstreet is.. The message seems to be scattered and everyone interprets it in their own way.
It makes me glad people are standing up for themselves and speaking out but we need to know what we are fighting for and if the means of our fight can actually cause a change. If not to direct our energy at things we are able to control. We need young politicians to speak for us and represent us and what we believe.
Talib might be pro occupy wallstreet but all these cameras and flashes just look like he is trying to reach his demographic and sell HIS product. It’s not that by him being there is a bad thing it’s just that remove the camera and make it real homie don’t come with your camera man and hype man and try to feed off this energy. Certainly it’s a boost to moral by having celebs come through and show love. This just looked like it was set up by him he even dropped the name of his new project. C’ Mon isn’t that a DISTRACTION
@ B-Line- You don’t really know what the whole movement of Ocuppy Wallstreet is… but “This just looked like it was set up by him he even dropped the name of his new project.”
Kill yourself with the irony you just professed.
^ I would have to say you are correct…the man saw an opportunity to get his ass on TV / the net talking about his new project..Talib has fallen off hard.
@Young Cosby, you are a F’N idiot. Occupy Wallstreet is the Lefts Tea Party Movement. Do they have actual solutions for there problems. It’s not that I am not on there side. I just want to know what exactly are they fighting for Mixed messages do not constitute a clear agenda.
To me all this shit starts with the voters and ends with the politicians, WE as young americans vote people that represent what we are about.
Young Cosby, Tell me what they stand for?????
@B-Line if you weren’t lazy and expected to be spoonfed answers you’d probably actually know about the whole movement.
@noahxzark , actually funny you said that I did look into it and was not able to get a coherent message emanating from the group. Last night on Real Time with Bill Maher a hell of a show I may add. There was a former elected representative from Florida, sorry i forgot his name but HIS message was not lost with me.
Wallstreet a couple years back crippled the US economy and Occupy Wallstreet is letting people know that no executive have been held responsible (no jail time). That the unemployment rate is high as hell. That a lot of people owe more on there mortgage than their house is worth. He added that we need a person in charge to stand up and say this is not okay. Damn this guy sounded like the person I want to be president. But anyways I did not hear that message in the way this man put it out from the Occupy Wallstreet movement.
I’m all for it (Occupy Wallstreet) don’t get me wrong. All they need is DIRECTION. And all Talib was talking about was DISTRACTION.
Suck it with your lazy talk son
this movement is much bigger then your music talib. fuck off.
