Talib Kweli: John Mayer Loves "taste of his own foot"

Rappers musicans and fans are all speaking out about John Mayer's controversial interview, where among (many) other things he used the N-word and made a vulgar joke about not being attracted to Black women. his friend ?uestlove gave him the benefit of the doubt, while Talib Kweli said on twitter that Mayer must "love the taste of his own foot."

Mayer has since apologized on twitter, and on stage at a concert in Nashville soon after the intervew was released online. He broke down in tears at the concert, thanking his predominantly Black band for standing by him as he performed, and vowing never to play "the soundbyte game" again. But not everyone is satisfied with the apology, and it may be a long time before some of his fans get over the shock of his careless remarks. His rather disrespectful comments about the women in his life also raised eyebrows.

On his Twitter, the Roots' ?uestlove seemed to be in a thoughtfully forgiving mood about the outburst. "Hmmm. I'll give Mayer a benefit of the doubt (remember how people misinterpreted my photo?) and assume that was a punchline gone awry," he tweeted, referring to a photo of an apparently racist lunch menu at the NBC café that ?uest posted as a joke for Black History Month. But the drummer wasn't done with Mayer. He added, "LOL then again on 2nd read ... can't wait to see spin on this. I swear his #1 demographic is the white dude black women would do in a second." But Talib Kweli rubbed it in a bit, writing on his Twitter page, "My man John Mayer must love the taste of his own foot..."
