I’d love to see Black Thought & Black Ice create a classic, together. The worlds best poet that can rap beside of the worlds best rapper who creates poetry.
I'll put it this way: 2Pac - Nas (or Nas - 2Pac) Biggie - Jay. Z and hmm... (Black Thought or Jadakiss). 2Pac & Nas because of the awareness, depth of knowledge and lyrics of their music. It's not enough to just rhyme words. You really have to make sense and be thoughtful!
@@kouamek.samson7626 When all is said and done, Thought will be the GOAT. Why? Well, two of the others are dead and the other two aren't as committed to being productive artists as they once were. Thought is dialed into pop culture and the streets. He has cred across multiple audiences. He has been producing top level lyricism since the mid-90s and shows no sign of letting up. He can spit on any topic. His themes and style can be street, dope game, jazzy, futuristic, romantic, experimental, political, black consciousness. Live band, turntable, studio, small venue or stadium, even Broadway musical. He sounds as fresh and current on Organix as he does on Yah Yah with Em and Royce (another track he owns) from earlier in the yr, as well as this Roots Picnic mix. His "features" catalog is better than 99% of rappers discographies. He's as flawless as it gets in terms of career output while maintaining the highest standard. If he isn't know as the GOAT it'll be because he's transcended hip hop.
@@dipthongthathongthongthong9691 I do agree with what you said. But we can't disregard the body of work done by Nasty Nas even though he ain't that committed anymore. Let's remember some of his classic albums; 1- Illmatic 2- It was written 3- God's Son 4- Stillmatic 5- Distance Relative 6- I am 7- Streets disciple, etc. I have no doubt that Black Thought is an incredible artist but no matter how good his music gets, it'll be almost impossible for him to prove that he can do better than Nas discography. If we only have to consider those alive, I am comfortable saying that he might be the second greatest rapper alive right after Nas.
Thought's always amazing lyrically but what some people who've never rapped live fail to recognize is how amazing Black Thought's breath control/delivery is. he'll rock 2-3 hour Roots shows and be able to deliver every bar while some rappers need to have their hypeman finish every 4th bar or so for them. just something to think about next time you see him live.
You can really tell the difference between a rapper who comes up performing live and one who just records and releases things online. I remember seeing Chance the Rapper live and you could tell he came up performing -- good stage presence and great breath control. Tarik is that, turned up to ten.
Right, It's amazing. He uses circular breathing like a trumpet player would use. He stores air in his cheeks and uses it to help him breath so he doesn't have to pause for a big inhale. The guy is just on a level of his own at this point. Nobody can touch him.
@@rocklee6812 agreed, but two measures of greatness must be longevity and productivity. Big L was also incredible. Unfortunately their careers were cut short. A rough analogy would be Bo Jackson - arguably the greatest ability as RB but wasn't able to amass the body of work

I don't fully get that line. I know America got a Hella dark past, but I don't get why his heart is darker. Can someone please break that down for a slow dummy.
@@nativesun9865 It could be a reference to his upbringing and what he had to endure. He lost both parents at a fairly young, both due to murder and he had to witness his mom suffer through a debilitating crack addiction. Maybe his heart still carries the trauma of living through all that.

I heard some joint of The Roots first, and thought it was a promo for 88.5 ATL. When I heard the "Proceed" Remix with Bahamadia, I was hooked forever more. 🌋👏👍👌✔️💯

David Love TV Because music evolves, and everything is relative, I’d argue that Rakim, Kool G Rap and Nas completely changed the game in their respective eras and elevated the MC to what we see today. That being said, you have a point. Tariq is and always has been my favourite MC because he is the total package. Today, nobody comes close to his uncanny ability to write, include cadence, and link metaphors that sometimes take days to recognize. I was lucky enough to meet him backstage during the Illadelph Halflife tour, relax with medicinals, and have a 20min conversation. To makes things even better, he’s as good of a person as you’d come to expect.

Black thought is the greatest rapper to ever touch a mic . It's not even close . I have other favorites and other artists I respect , but nobody touches the level of complexity in his verses along with the exceptional flow he displays. Not to mention the musicality of his songs ( if that makes sense ). Alot of great Lyricists have great verses and not alot of great songs . This man has both .
Who’s been more consistent? Effortlessly tho. People didn’t tune in because of the Roots sound is ridiculous. This is greatness. Give this man his living flowers
I always think I'm ready when Black Thought drops some new bars, but I never am. This man is a scholar and poet rarely seen, rarely heard, and the truth spoken hits like a train every time; I'm always surprised, but it's always expected.
What an experience! The virtual 🧺 is crazy...So glad I’ve invested the time following an supporting the Roots ever since I brought that “distortion to static” cassette tape from Right On records, a local ma & pops record store in my hometown.🙏🏽
