Talib Kweli - Love Language

I know we are stepping away from the theme again, but much like Common, Talib Kweli makes a strong point to be on here. He, along with a number of other rappers, including Jay-Z, is the face of the 1990s Brooklyn hip-hop scene. Back then, hip-hop actually had a meaning.

In "Love Language" he makes it very simple to follow: "The language of love cannot be translated." He laces the track with a smooth drum beat and a soothing chorus in French, the so-called love language:

"L'amour n'a pas de, frontiere (Love has no boundaries)
Restes car je t'aime comme tu es (Stay because I love you as you are)
J'ai traverse l'ocean du verbe (I crossed an ocean of words)
Et je t'ai trouve (And I found you)"
