Talib Kweli claimed that “Too many interlopers and culture vultures” are in the way of the album’s highly-anticipated release.
Looks like Talib Kweli and Yasiin Bey‘s highly-anticipated Black Star album with Madlib may never see the light of day.
Kweli offered a new update on the status of the album in response to a fan hoping to see its release before the end of the month.
Too many interlopers and culture vultures in the way. This album been done for over a year. I paid for the whole album myself. Too many greedy people in the way stopping us from working with Madlib. I wash my hands of it at this point. https://t.co/UUz54NHEGP
