Isn't it exhausting and mentally draining trying to fully appreciate his exceptional wordplay? Every time I re-watch it, I find something that, I missed the first 1000X😅. His talent is asolutely criminal!.
He was 44 when he did this. That's old in hip hop terms but he's a middle aged man at the top of his game. He had a very rough younger life. Maybe that's what you're hearing. Whatever the case, the man is a genius, super well-read, with a ton of reference points to draw on. It's some next level shite. When he was coming up, everyone had to prove themselves. That was part of being successful. The man has worked for everything he's got. He is not gonna just lay back in the cut. The Talented Mr. Trotter indeed.
Black Thought is the definition of the phrase "be wary of the old man who thrives in a field where men die young." He has turned himself into the old man in anime... and you do NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, FUCK WITH THE OLD MAN IN ANIME!!!!
The art of free-styling...He took the story full circle..Starting From a body dead in the car....to finishing with telling a story like fingerprints and blood splatter...!! He really just wanted to show what it's like for an OG who still has the ability to crash any record....Someone who love's the art...and he also heard a vlogger (Vlad) question his ability and place in the top rappers....
“Just because they give you shit don’t mean you have to take it.” is a BAR!! 🔥 Heavy double-entendre that went right over my head the first two or three times
Thought has the ability to spit bars at u like... he is having a conversation with u... by the time u hear the bars, u realize he just talking at u with that hood eloquence...
I think modern rappers pissed him off "Yo the game went its own route. I can't explain what these lame kids is talmbout. Or how they fit they whole foot into they own mouth."
Soooooo many educational bars in this! Black Thought is an Avid Reader. Very well read!! 1. Henrietta Lacks- Black woman whom after her death, her cells were stored to fight polio. 2. F. Scott Fitzgerald- Poet / Novelist of The Great Gatsby. 3.Griot - African traveling poet, musician, story teller. 4. Amalgamism - A mixture of different elements. 5. Algorithm - A process or set of rules in calculation. 6. Anomoly - Something that deviates from it's normal pattern. 7. Tigris & Euphrates- Rivers located in West Africa near Turkey, Syria and Iraq. {Birth place of man} 8. Similac- Baby formula filled with protein. 9. Fentinal - Synthetic Opioid, similar to Morphine. 10. Seoul {Soul} Capital of Korea. 11. Apex Predator- Top of the food chain. ie, Great White Shark, Dinosaurs, Lion. {Hard to defeat} 12. Henry Kissinger- Politian who wrote war policies, and treaties. 13. Sharia Law- Muslim Law {Derived from the Holy Quron} 14. War & Peace- A book with more than 1,000 pages. 15. Excalibur- A steel forged sword made of dragon fire of King Arthur, that can only be held by it's true master. 16. CB4- 1993 Chris Rock film about a fake gangster rapper {Rock} who gets checked by some real O'G's. 17. Long In The Tooth- Grow Old. 18. D.O.C. Legendary West Coast Rapper- Lost his vocal cords do to a car accident, whom rapped like an East Coast Artist. JUST A FEW I CAUGHT!
Props for respecting the god tier skills of Black Thought 🔥 The Roots albums Illadelph Half-life and Things Fall Apart are classics. Very worth listening to in full. You were on point with your comment that someone must have pissed him off. If you want to know why he was pissed, this is why (DJ Vlad debated Lord Jamar, another OG, that BT wasn’t a GOAT tier MC): th-cam.com/video/qiij-IfgBjw/w-d-xo.html Vlad reawakened a sleeping dragon. BT has been cranking out fire content ever since.
@@chest_is_unlocked You gotta! If you are fucking with this stuff you missed out on from the past. His content isn't as deep as this, but his lyricism was incredible. RIP Big L. He was stupid ahead of his time with polysyllable/compound rhymes, and he had heavy punchlines, too. True legend
This is the type of freestyle that requires two videos. One, a real first listen. And a longer second one to dissect the bars.
This freestyle requires a Master degree thesis to present proper analysis.
Y equals self

lets goooooooooo, thats one of the ancestors right there
Facts God Talk!!!
DJ Vlad said Black Thought wasn’t in his top 5. Black Thought contacted Funk Flex to prove him wrong…
The art of free-styling...He took the story full circle..Starting From a body dead in the car....to finishing with telling a story like fingerprints and blood splatter...!!

definition of an emcee
He's much more than an mc 🤨 HE'S an APEX " LYRICIST " TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN!
“Just because they give you shit don’t mean you have to take it.” is a BAR!! 🔥 Heavy double-entendre that went right over my head the first two or three times
You being speechless is the ultimate reaction
This is a real authentic reaction. Whole time stank face catching the bars adding the effects. Subbing for sure.
All these new dumb rappers pissed him off. He had to set the record straight and let people know what real hip hop is.
