In a recent interview with KarmaloopTV, Brooklyn rapper Talib Kweli was asked what he thought about rappers getting younger and younger. Chief Keef's name was brought up, to which Kweli responded, "I don't know who Lil Mouse is but as far as Chief Keef, Chief keef is obviously a product of his environment. He's somebody who comes out of a very horrifically violent neighborhood of Chicago. Whether you think he's skilled or not, what he's doing is extremely positive. Even if he's gang banging on records, I'd rather him gang bang on records than in the streets and if you gang bang on records, you're at some point going to have respect for music and you're going to grow out of that."
Talib continued his interesting theory by bringing up an example.
"Snoop Dogg used to gang bang on records, now he's Snoop Lion. If Chief Keef could get to Snoop's stage, his content will change, you'll see him grow up. I want to see him live, I don't want to see him die."
