After being cut off in the middle of his hit "Get By" at last weekend's 80/35 Music Festival, rapper Talib Kweli went on a Twitter rant blasting the festival.

On Tuesday night festival organizer Amedeo Rossi apologized to the rapper via email and tweeted that fact out at Kweli's request.

Today I apologized to @TalibKweli for his set being cut short @8035. Lets remember the awesome crowd and performance. Pls come back soon.
