Great host & fascinating guests. Insightful discussions of hip hop, comedy, activism, and, occasionally, politics. Talib Kwahli is an excellent interviewer who asks great questions. The overall tone is smart and positive, with plenty of humor sprinkled in.
The interview with Havoc from Mobb Deep made me need to leave a review. Talib guides the conversation like only someone can who has the deepest knowledge, respect, and love for their guests. As a listener you don’t even need to be familiar with the guests to be inspired. Highly recommended for anyone who loves to learn about music.
Yo! Talib! Thank you for digging deep into the culture and history with these foundational figures of hip hop.
Every podcast inspires me. Thanks to the individuals involved and the positive vibes.
This will end up in a library some day. It’s hip hop history, straight from the horses’ mouths.
I love the interviews, the content, the guest, the vibe, everything. I would have given this 5 stars but there’s just 1 thing I don’t love and it’s the cohost. She throws the vibe or the conversation off a lot to me. Seriously this podcast is definitely in the top 5 for me. The research and effort put into interviews is beautiful.
You need this dude, he’s a podcast king, and his life story is amazing to boot!
He has his own Podcast Take Your Shoes Off (TYSO) and has been on Tigerbelly, Bad Friends, Trash Tuesdays, and many other more…
He knows Will Smith
Ask about Magic the Gathering cards
get him to rap
then ask him about his autism…
The Monche interview is my favorite so far. I used to listen to it consistently but since it moved behind the pay wall I stopped. I would rather listen to commercials. Oh well
I don’t know if the recent uploads are just snippets but I wanna hear the whole thing. I like to drive and listen to these and I cant have youtube up while using the GPS. Help us out.
This show has provided me more background and understanding of Hip Hop than any other source I’ve ever heard. The research done by Kweli and the team and the thoughtful questions makes this my favorite podcast.
Large up to Jasmin Leigh! Just saw the Bob Saget interview and she is featured more prominently in that episode. Keep up the great work sister👍🏿👋🏿.
And Kweli is doing his thing with having dope guests🙏🏿
Everybody cool with Kweli whitewashing gang affiliation like it’s just a form of community uplift? Couldn’t listen to it, Kweli so fake in terms of the ethics he espouses and the silence he exhibits. SMDH.
Talib is a great host, he has amazing guests, I can’t get enough of this podcast! So informal, it really gives you a great peek into the hip hop world and lessons about life! I feel like everyone should listen to this podcast, if you’re not, what are you doin?
Love the premise of the show, just wish they had a different host. If you scroll through you’ll see talib focuses on black men. Given his problematic history with women, it’s a bummer he takes no effort to promote or rectify that with this new platform given he’s been banned from other platforms for his misogyny and harassment.
If you love black people and black culture then this is FOR YOU!! I love Talib’s music and have been a fan since I was a teen (I’m in my 30’s now) and he may be even better at interviewing and podcasting than perhaps mcing (with respect)
Thank you Kweli. We the people appreciate what your doing for us. Great conversations, great guests. Excited to be given the opportunity to listen to some of the most influential icons in hip hop and hear stories many haven’t heard before.
Kweli and Jasmine Leigh are engaging, ask smart and intriguing questions at a good cadence, and offer different perspectives on topics. I learn so much from each episode about a variety of topics, not just hip hop. I recommend this podcast to all my friends.
Fantastic Podcast overall. Intelligent declarations, and interviews from a true Student of Aristotle. Master Kweli delivers real, in depth conversations, with unique, and interesting guests. The maturity he demonstrates when engaging those with a difference of opinion is especially refreshing. People’s Party continues to climb towards 5stars. Side note: Entertainment isn’t for everyone. JL is never funny, and easily one of the top 5 worst cohost’s of a best podcast.
I’m loving this podcast and hearing all the stories and the culture can’t wait every week ever since I found it!!! Very proud to be apart of our culture!!!
Thanks so much for this awesome podcast and all of the talented guests who have real conversations about important issues related to history and current events. It’s great to hear Talib mark out for people who he is genuinely a fan of . Nothing pretentious or fake at his genuine love of the hip hop culture and all it encapsulates.
I’m more of a music head than someone who typically listens to podcasts. I’ll typically put on some music while I deliver the mail for the day on my route and that works for me. That is, until I found this podcast. It’s intelligent, thought-provoking, genuine, and highly enjoyable. I’m a fan.
The way that some of the most incredible artists of our time share so much with Talib really speaks to the legend that he, himself, is and the quality of his character. Click play on any episode. You can’t go wrong!
Been a fan of Talib since BlackStar. This is one of my favorite podcasts hands down. Thank you for all you do with this show, on Twitter and everywhere. You make a great impact and are helping make a change. And F bar stool sports

Talibs show is fire. It’s great for intelligent thoughtful people who are interested in cool music and culture. It’s the opposite of corny Barstool stuff for insecure bros who listen to garbage music and think they are funny but are really stupid.
Kweli struggles to stay relevant inviting guests to his self righteous echo chamber to stroke his ego with closed minded, one sided, discussions that revolve primarily around race and memories of his mediocre rap career. Cohost has nothing of any substance to contribute to the show. Don't waste your time. Listen to X22.
This podcast is highly intellectual with phenomenal guess that provide great insight on an array of topics. Talib is a master researcher and gets the guess to go deeper into their lives.
