In this clip from People’s Party, Talib Kweli and MC Eiht look back at a memorable moment in hip-hop history: MC Eiht and DJ Quik reconciling after their beef. Talib talks working with Quik and asks Eiht about gangsta rappers getting criticized for talking about peace. While MC Eiht still tries to please his fans, he also wants to make records about topics beyond what he rapped about when he was a young hip-hop artist. Eiht says he and other rappers want to still remain true and authentic to their roots while transitioning to music that reflects their lives today. Full episode arrives on Monday 3/9 at 9AMet/6AMpt.
