On the fourth single from his third solo album Eardrum, Talib Kweli preaches the Hostile Gospel; a request for deliverance from our surrounding community’s crises.  Evidently, Kweli’s message is vibin’ through neighborhoods across the country, since two underrated underground MCs have hopped aboard the remix subway.  Fellow Brooklynite, Joell Ortiz, rhymes about staying true to yourself (and in his case, it got him released from Aftermath) and West Coast rapper Blu discusses the stereotypical nature of hip-hop.  Hopefully, with this boost of underground support, the Hostile Gospel will spread sooner rather than later.

The original version of this song was SICK. I think this just continues upon the original as a remix should. The beat is FIRE and everyone actually rips it on here. Good flow from everyone! BANGER!

JO has been on point with his lyrics. Kweli ... what can I say, the man is gifted. Remix is as good as the original.

How many times do I have to say it? "Eardrum" was mad slept up on! I gotta give respect for Talib Kweli for being one of the few MCs out there to still represent the underground after gaining mainstream recognition. Joell Ortiz is going to BLOW UP sooner or later and these remix appearances are just samples for what's ahead. My man Blu throws it down, Left Coast stand up! PLEASE listen to his debut album with producer Exile entitled "Below The Heavens." It was the top underground release last year and I'm still bumping it today.

TONE+Chef: Below the Heavens is tight. However, I would like some better production. never grew up in NYC so that kinda street production doesn't relate haha<br><br>
I think Talib lost alot of his popularity after The Beautiful Struggle and hasn't gotten it back. I liked that album alot too... Still one of my fav MCs

Talib is a great MC, but the man gives an awful interview. <b>Talib, if you are reading this, please call me and we can hash it out</b>. Joell Ortiz is better off without Aftermath, that is the black whole of the industry; my grandkids won't be able to enjoy <b>Detox</b>.

I like the subtle changes on the beat and everyone on this is too talented to bring it down! I LOVE the beat, the flows are on point, lyrics are kryptonite for Soulja Boy.

Talib Kweli's the best rapper hands down. Nobody even comes close to him. Name somebody who's better than him.

1. Talib Kweli
2. The Game
3. Kanye West
4. Young Jeezy
5. Juice
