Talib Kweli Performs Live At Fat Beats NY on Record Store Day ’09

Here’s the last of the footage from Record Store Day ’09 courtesy of TheUndergroundComeUp.com. Talib Kweli spits a true freestyle for the crowd after he and DJ Premier signed autographs for all those that came out. All I gotta say is boo to the crowd for not recognizing Idle Warship. I mean, props to them for coming out and hopefully buying a record or two, but Idle Warship is damned good music, and even though Talib Kweli says they aren’t hip hop, they do embody the fusion of hip hop with other genres of music.

Talib Kweli announces that the release of the new Reflection Eternal track, Back Again. You can watch the video for Back Again here. All in all, the Record Store Day ’09 events at Fat Beats NY looked to be a success, though I’m sure the fiscal bottom line matters most at the end of the day. With the daily release of music, its tough to justify going out and buying records, but let me say this, if you do support hip hop music, and live the hip hop culture… hit your local record store if it still exists at least once/month and drop that $15. I’m off my soapbox.
