Talib Kweli@Brooklyn Bowl

Talib Kweli and friends just threw a show at Williamsburg's latest and greatest addition, Brooklyn Bowl. This venue is killer, they have about 15 or so bowling lanes, Blue Ribbon food and live music. I got there in time to see Jean Grae rock the mic for a bit. Jean has excellent delivery and is definitely a skilled MC. But damn girl stick to rappin' cause the lackluster jokes and backhanded comments in between songs is brutal. Then came out Talib and this dude is a great performer as well but it seemed to me that he wasn't that into it on that night and on top of that the selection of jams he pulled from his arsenal of raps was not too impressive. Nonetheless it was a good night and definitely cool to see Hi-Tek and him together again.
