I didn't know much about Talib Kweli but after I watched this piece I went and listened to everything I could find.

Both rappers are major enough to get sit-down interviews on PBS (Jay with Charlie Rose, Kweli with Tavis Smiley), but while Jay-Z does business with billionaires, Kweli makes fiery tracks like "Bushanomics" with "Race Matters" author Dr. Cornel West (freely downloadable as part of "The MCEO Mixtape" at www.myspace.com/talibkweli).
