Talib Kweli showed up in Zuccotti Park Thursday night to perform for the protesters of Occupy Wall Street.

After a lengthy General Assembly meeting that had left some protesters feeling spent and frustrated, Kweli arrived and stepped up onto the stone bench that is being used as a podium.

Kweli is soft-spoken, and the occupation is not allowed amplification. The listeners crowded round him in a seated circle, quiet, cameras aloft.

Kweli told the audience that he used to tell everyone "If you were the coolest, most interesting person where you live at, at some point in your life, you have to come to New York City. You have to walk down Broadway. Me being from New York, I'm proud to say, that now I can say: at some point, if you are the most interesting person in your city, at some point you have to occupy Wall Street."
