“A lot of these people, these program directors, just like anybody else in the world, even though they're supposed to be leaders in the world, they're followers. They follow what they think someone else is doing, instead of trying to blaze a trail.”

American rapper

Talib Kweli Greene is an American rapper, known for his work as one half of the hip-hop duo Black Star. He formed the group in 1997 with fellow Brooklyn rapper Yasiin Bey. Black Star’s 1998 single “Definition” reached the Billboard Hot 100 and led to the duo’s self-titled debut album later that year, which entered the Billboard 200. Kweli and Bey then pursued solo careers, though they later released one more Black Star album, No Fear of Time, in 2022.
