Rapper did a cappella performance of unreleased song, ‘Distractions,’ at protest. By Adam Murphy Talib Kweli Photo: MTV News Talib Kweli lent his leadership and lyricism to the Occupy Wall Street protesters Thursday night in New York’s Zuccotti Park. Nearly three weeks into their occupation, the movement has gained strength in numbers. Kweli is no stranger to taking up social and political causes, but these protests have a firm grasp on his attention. “There’s no other place in New York City to be,” Kweli said. “People are taking their destiny in their own hands. This is one of the most American, if not the most American, things that I’ve ever seen. “When I see things like Occupy Wall Street, I just try to align myself with things that make sense,” he continued. “Shame on me if I know something and don’t spread it, you know? If I know, it becomes my responsibility to spread the information.” Hundreds of protesters gathered in silence around the pulpit where Kweli stood, rapping a cappella without the aid of a mic. The audience hung on his every syllable as he performed an as-yet-unreleased song, “Distractions,” a cutting indictment of American complacency in the face of important issues. “People are out here from all walks of life, all colors, all classes, people that have jobs, don’t have jobs,” said Res, Kweli’s Idle Warship collaborator. “People just want to get the word out and say, ‘Look, we’re sick of this, we need a change, and what you guys are doing in the White House is not hitting it.’ ” Following the performance, Kweli used the protesters’ human PA system (the speaker says a few words which are then repeated by the audience) to thank the activists for their dedication. “They want to know what the end game is?” Kweli asked. “This is the end game.” Related Artists Talib Kweli
‘A lot of us artists are afraid to speak on obvious stuff that’s going on in our ‘hoods … because of things like this,’ Tyrese tells MTV News. By Rob Markman Tyrese Photo: Jerry Markland/ Getty Images Tyrese isn’t afraid to speak his mind, and though his music is currently banned from 101.7 Kiss FM in Delaware, the R&B singer will not back down. During a September interview at the station, the singer and “Transformers” actor aggressively spoke out to keep liquor stores from opening in the proximity of schools. “People drink — it is what it is — but the personalities and energy that liquor stores attract, I think, need to be much further away from elementary schools,” Tyrese told MTV News when he walked the black carpet for the 2011 BET Hip Hop Awards. The singer, who is a national spokesman for Communities in Schools, had a speaking engagement in a Delaware school when he noticed a liquor store directly across the street. Instead of promoting his new album, Open Invitation , during a scheduled radio interview later in the day, Tyrese got on his soapbox and chastised community leaders for allowing the liquor store so close to the school. “I transitioned into talking about that because it had just happened, and that’s when they kicked me off the air and banned my music,” Tyrese said. “Get them cats outta here, man, sellin’ alcohol right across from your kids’ school, homey,” Tyrese said during his radio interview. Kiss 101.7 owner Tony Quartarone told TMZ that it wasn’t the singer’s message that prompted the ban, but more how Tyrese spoke to the listeners. “Tyrese was not kicked off the air for pointing out that liquor stores should not be located near schools … I totally agree with that. But … he proceeded to downgrade my audience by calling them ‘homeys.’ ” Still, the “Sweet Lady” vocalist will not change his position. “I think a lot of us artists are afraid to speak on obvious stuff that’s going on in our ‘hoods and in our communities because of things like this,” he told MTV News. “For me, I don’t want them to play my music. I don’t care; my position won’t change. I didn’t even get on there to do it on purpose, like, ‘Let me start some sh–.’ I got on there to talk about the album, and because it was fresh on my mind, and I spoke on it.” Related Artists Tyrese

Kristin Cavallari was surprisingly eliminated from Dancing With the Stars this week. She’s taking it pretty well, but that doesn’t mean she’s not surprised and upset. The 24-year-old scored high marks and praise from the judges, tallying 24 out of 30 points Monday. But despite finishing tied for third (out of 10), she’s out the door. “I’m really sad,” Kristin Cavallari admitted. “But, I’d rather go out on top and have people be shocked than be like, ‘Thank god she’s leaving, it’s about time.'” “It was the best experience I’ve ever had. I could not be happier.” As for why she was voted off? “It is what it is,” she laughed . “That’s the thing with Dancing with the Stars , you never know. It’s clearly not a dance competition!” Sentimental favorite Chaz Bono, whose mom Cher vowed to cheer him on in person next week if her son made it, survived despite a second straight week in last. Despite her own elimination, Cavallari is definitely on Team Chaz: “Chaz is so cute! I think he’s great and he tries so hard, and I loved watching him dance every week. It’s inspiring, and it’s sweet, and I hope he does really well!” The week was also a net positive for Kristin. Jay Cutler , who cheered her on during Monday’s show, has reportedly reconciled with the former star of The Hills . What do you think? Did Kristin deserve to be voted off?
