Earlier this week, Talib Kweli became the latest hip-hop icon to be celebrated at Peter Rosenberg’s interview/concert series, Noisemakers. Previous featured Noisemakers guests include DJ Premier, Questlove, Q-Tip and Raekwon. If you’re not familiar with the event by now, Rosenberg accurately describes it as the hip-hop Inside The Actor’s Studio, featuring an in-depth interview and live sets by Daru Jones and The Noise performing impeccable live interpretations of Kweli’s vast catalog. What makes Noisemakers so enthralling is that this is not just any standard interview, but rather an engaging hip-hop conversation. Kweli shared tons of stories ranging from his childhood up through the current day including his first encounters with Dilla, Kanye West, Hi Tek, Corey Smith, Common and many other central figures in hip-hop. He also told some hilarious stories about Kanye West and also there’s a brief cameo by Q-Tip. Check after the jump for audio of the entire evening, including the complete interview and live performance sets, plus a few videos.

[...] The Soul Brother #1, Pete Rock, was the latest honoree of Peter Rosenberg’s celebrated Noisemakers series. The beat godfather gave an in-depth interview about his career, including some great stories of working with Kanye West (yes, its confirmed), Q-Tip, Nas, Puff and Biggie and a riveting tale of Big Pun eating a bag of onion rings while recording his verse for Verbal Murder. As with all Noisemaker events, the hip-hop icon’s extensive catalog of beats were brought to life via live tribute sets from Daru Jones and The Noize. The Noize consists of Daru Jones on drums, Igmar Thomas on trumpet, Chris Rob on keybass and Jared Jacobs on keys & synths. Pete Rock was definitely impressed by the band, saying “they nailed it to a T!”. The complete interview and tribute sets are below and are a must-listen for hip-hop heads.
