It’s not East Coast / West Coast. It’s not Down South vs. Up Top. No. It’s Earth-walkers vs. Moon-walkers!

Can I just say: I fucking love Talib Kweli?

In case you don’t have time to watch it now, here’s a quick excerpt from the video:

Talib Kweli: “The song ‘Whitey on the Moon,’ Gil Scott Heron – what, you thought he was talkin’ about LBJ or Nixon? Naw, he was talking about Buzz Aldrin!”

[Clip from Gil Scott Heron: “I can’t pay no doctor bills / but whitey’s on the moon”]

Buzz Aldrin: “Gil and I are cool now. I explained to him that, we came in peace for all mankind, and… he backed off.”

Talib Kweli: “People think of hip hop, and they think of beefs: we had east coast / west coast beefs, down south / up top beefs… but, it doesn’t compare to the beef between Earth-walkers and Moon-walkers, which I think is a way more dangerous beef.”

Buzz Aldrin: “I don’t have any beef with the Earth-walkers.
