Are there ppl who are fans of both? Prob but I predict a very small percentage

Doing a collabo with him doesn't add to Kweli's fanbase in anyway shape or form and If anything alienates his old fans (I'm still gonna rock with him regardless cuz he makes good music but I'm still disappointed)
I'll even predict that the majority of the Gucci fans that listen to this song will either tune Kweli's part out and not pay attention to the lyrics, hit the back button before Kweli comes on or find a version that's Kweli-less if a remix with Waka and OJ replacing him doesn't come out in the near future

I understand he doesn't like to be put into the "Conscious" box but c'mon son
Gucci? Forreal?
SMH
If that makes me a hater sign me up for the Buckwild spot with Star; I'm done

Shut up. Kweli ethered cats like you on his Twitter weeks ago.

He maybe a fan for all I know, but do you really think most Gucci fans who have preconceived notions about Kweli and what he raps about are really gonna give an honest listen much less like and appreciate it? 

If Jay does a a track with Waka, u dont thinks his fans ain't gonna be like 

 either?

They still gonna support like I'm gonna but at the same time they still gonna have that 

 face

I'm far from elitist

I'm not one of those dudes that be on some "Screw Lil Wayne/TI/Jay-Z he a sellout, all I like is underground and east coast rap, that real Hip Hop" and all that type steez

But cmon son

he wasnt even hating... half of the music forum is people that try to talk like record execs and you get upset at his reply?

I actually zoned out and didnt even acknowledge talib the first time I played this, I think he's right
