Talib Kweli and Res Tell Hillary To Fall Back

Things were so hopeless in the 2004 election that Talib Kweli didn’t even bother voting. “You try to vote and participate in the government/And the muthafuckin’ Democrats is actin’ like Republicans,” he rapped. But this time around, the Black Star MC seems fully invested in making sure Barack Obama gets into the White House.

He recently formed a new side project group with Philly singer Res called Idle Warship, and they’ve recorded a track called “Fall Back” with Star Trak’s Chester French. The song is a response to Hillary Clinton’s insistence on staying in the Democratic primary race, even when it’s mathematically impossible for her to surpass Obama. After the jump, listen to the song and watch accompanying Clinton-filled web video.
