It all started Friday when Res tweeted @TalibKweli, “Why havent you responded to me about this album i have for you to release? U made it impossible for me to communicate with you.how can i turn in 12 songs when you refuse to talk to me or respond to my emails?”
Kweli responded, “Cuz you falsely accused me of sexual harassment and it got thrown out in court cuz you’re a liar. That’s why I don’t respect you. That’s why you get ignored.”

No label. No middle man. Just YOU and me, finishing this album TOGETHER!”
