After closing out the Dickies x Karmaloop Showcase at SXSW 2013, Talib Kweli and LilInternet get deep on the skewed morality of hip hop, his opinion on rugged youngsters rapping about the streets (Chief Keef, Lil’ Poopie) and past jobs he’s had.

Talib Kweli talks to Hard Knock Tv’s Nick Huff Barili after his performance at the Samsung Galaxy Sound Stage during the SXSW 2013 festival. The interview starts off with Kweli reminiscing about how he was inspired by Doug E Fresh growing up. As topics switch, Kweli talks about why he chose to name his up coming album Prisoner of Conscious and shares what we can expect from it. Talib goes on to share his opinion on MTV’s Hottest MC In The Game list, saying that its a popularity contest and that if the list was Best MC in the Game then his name should be on there. Before we let him go, the BK MC shares a J Dilla memory, whom he shouted out during his performance.
