<p><a href="/profile/KanyeWest" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Kanye West</a> had a lot to say about&#8230; well, most things during his legendary interview with <a href="/profile/nore" class="text-word" target="_blank" >N.O.R.E.</a> and DJ EFN on <em>Drink Champs</em>. During his three-hour conversation with the hosts, <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/kanye-west-admits-he-posed-as-a-backpack-rapper-news.142797.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Ye admitted that he &#8220;used&#8221; backpack rap to elevate his career</a> and build a platform for himself, despite being more in-tune with street rap, and having a personal preference toward artists like JAY-Z and labels including Cash Money.</p>
<p><a href="/profile/talib-kweli" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Talib Kweli</a>, who has historically been an integral part of Kanye&#8217;s team over the years, took issue with many of the things Ye said during his interview, including his claims about backpack rap. Talib shared a clip of the artist admitting that he &#8220;posed&#8221; as a backpack rapper for years before revealing that <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/talib-kweli-offers-an-in-depth-response-to-kanye-wests-drink-champs-comments-news.142345.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">he doesn&#8217;t know whether to be offended</a>.</p>

<p>&#8220;Poser (noun) &#8211; a person who pretends what he or she is not&#8230; an affected or insincere person,&#8221; wrote Talib on Instagram, offering up a definition to the word. &#8220;Real question- since when did we celebrate posers in hip-hop? I don’t even know whether to laugh or be offended anymore.&#8221;</p>
<p>N.O.R.E. actually commented on the post, writing in laughing emojis and leaving it at that. Kanye has not addressed Talib&#8217;s post.</p>
<p>Previously, Talib shared a lengthy response to Ye&#8217;s interview. He also shared a <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/talib-kweli-responds-to-kanye-west-with-photos-of-yes-ghostwriters-news.142778.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">photo of Ye&#8217;s alleged team of ghostwriters</a> in response to more of the artist&#8217;s claims, <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/waka-flocka-reacts-to-talib-kweli-trolling-kanye-west-with-ghostwriters-post-news.142763.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">which led Waka Flocka to leave a comment about &#8220;tearing our own down.&#8221;</a></p>
<p>What do you think of Talib Kweli calling Kanye a &#8220;poser&#8221;?</p>
