STILL the hardest freestyle on Funk Flex OF ALL TIMEZ. That mic, that chair, and his hat shoulda all been retired and donated to the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington D.C.
That's from 30 years of working at his craft. All fire! And peep how it came full circle, he started off "I'm sorry for your loss, there's body in the trunk and it's probably one of yours". He ends it "I tell a story like fingerprints and blood splatter". Wow.
This was a "let me show you all the difference between who you THINK I am and with whom your are truly fucking with" freestyles. If you attempt to test him, you will one of those 7 emcees...
I said the exact same thing.... he tied the beginning to the end ... And so many bars in between. Whenever I start losing faith in HIP HOP, I come back to this
Hardest... freestyle...EVER. Wordplay A+ Breath control A+ Delivery A+ At no point did he need a hook, ad lib, break, ...he spit solid bars for over 10mins straight. We all just witnessed the highest level of hip hop 🐐💯💯
absoulte timeless classic from tarriq trotter of the roots crew. no one is history has been slept on as an mc as black thought. just flames. no wack verses ever.
There were so many...I encourage everyone to look at a printout of the lyrics and look up any reference that you don't understand. Shit's straight poetry in motion, literally.
Thought killed his verses on Yah Yah too! Loved Em's ad lib of "keep goin'" during Thought's verse. Like "Yah, just keep murdering that mic bro, we got time."
This freestyle taught me more than I learned in school. I had to pause this shit every 15 seconds to look up the references he was making. Black Thought is up there with Proof as the best freestyler of all time. It's just insane!
You have to understand thought is from different era where rappers or lyricists that the words is taken seriously the storytelling. Having breath control that’s gives stamina working on your craft. Ability for lyrics to pop up in your head. He comes from the era that jocking another rapper swag wasn't allowed the ability to flow and rhyming skills. There were others rappers that had that same stamina also but thought is so under appreciated and never mention in conversation as top lyricists
The best freestyle EVER. No doubt. Listen back 100 times and you'll still probably not get all the references he's making. I had to look some of them up!!! Greatness
Black Thought said on Jimmy Fallon not too long after this that this was a 100% freestyle, none of the shit was written. This was Dec of 2019, and I still haven't seen a rapper top this. Some have come close, but not quite
Well , he actully didn't, he just said it was freestyle and freestyle is a wide category these days. Tariq and Em on top of the game no one even close.
@@BizonURS agreed, Em was the the closest to this level when he went for around the same amount of time. This is on a different tier though respectfully.
“How much more CB4 can we afford, It’s like a Shariah Law on “My Cherie Amour, How much hypocrisy can people possibly endure, But ain’t nobody working of a cure..” So dope!!!
Holy shit Black Thought went nuts on this. One of the best ever. Crazy. Waiting to see you guys also react to a Harry Mack Omegle Bars freestyle episode. Honestly any one will be fire but since 40 he's been next level.
If you like to hear Black Thought go in, you should listen to the song Web off of The Roots' album The Tipping Point. They just give him a beat and he lays down like 30 different styles. He keeps changing up the flows over and over again and it's incredible. The dude must just be thinking up bars all day long

There's levels to this rap shit man and Black Thought took us to the highest of the high.
I said the exact same thing.... he tied the beginning to the end ... And so many bars in between. Whenever I start losing faith in HIP HOP, I come back to this
Man was talking to the mic like it was his therapist 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Best comment up here
🤣🔥💯 On God
If the mic was his therapist ? Then who’s teaching who ?!
@@jemalrankin6159 Nobody needs to be taught anything he just had a lot of shit on his mind and the mike is the instrument to spill his guts on.
Hardest... freestyle...EVER. Wordplay A+
Breath control A+
Delivery A+
At no point did he need a hook, ad lib, break, ...he spit solid bars for over 10mins straight. We all just witnessed the highest level of hip hop

Who are these people sleeping on him. If you know him you aint sleeping on him.
@@parabellum5503 that aint the point
Dude for real he's been my number one since the week illadelph halflife came out in probably 96. He's THE master of the craft
Him, Lord Infamous, and Lupe frfr
Oh and Aesop rock, maybe mf doom, etc
the GOAT, hands down.
The bars, metaphors, similes, double entendres and how fam went in and out of cadence with the beat has made him (and not recently) the GOAT!
my number one of 20 years
Honestly bro. Bar for bar..
Maybe Marshall.. but
That whole studio shoulda been retired.. and rebuilt
Bro he just dropped a bible of info with complete breath control.
einstein, shakespeare, voltaire, tesla; recording artist slash psychology professor
@@volusiasorange yep 👍 10:04👏 absolute fire 🔥
The breath control to freestyle like a beast for 10 minutes... smh.. that's alien 👽
I mean musicians constantly do this
he is not human
they put textbooks on his chest while he freestyled in high school to perfect his breath control. Philly!!!
Alien can blend right on in wit' yo' kin, Look again 'cause I swear I spot one every now and then...
To this day, I still use this track to heat my house in winter.
If it gets real cold use forest hill drive by j Cole , makes a weeks worth of heat
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣😂
😂😂😂😂😂credit
Facts
Dude freestyled more bars in one take than some entire studio albums!!
It was really a whole show ☺️
He said it himself "The rap game certified specialist" 👊🏽
Black Thought should be on anyone’s top 5 in any position. Period.
number one. hands down. Who is better? who else can do this? no one. period.
@@volusiasorangeMos Def maybe
Always top 3
Def one of the hardest freestyles I've ever hear and he didn't stop...just keep going and going and going
“it’s not strenuous to come from a continuous breath”
- Black Thought, on Funk Flex Freestyle
* the hardest
Not a freestyle...dope nonetheless
@@jasonhart1079 CAN YOU PROVE THAT.....AT ALL?
@@onyxman39 he already admitted it lol
One of the dopest things ever released in all of hip hop. History
“I’m international, my passport looking like War and Peace.” That was a crazy ass simile- Black Thought is the King of Diverse Cultural Reference
There were so many...I encourage everyone to look at a printout of the lyrics and look up any reference that you don't understand. Shit's straight poetry in motion, literally.
why he's left out of the GOAT conversations is beyond me. he's untouchable!
They leave him out because after you listen to him, you realize how uninspiring your favorite rapper really is
Because he doesn’t tap dance for lo one!
THANK Y'ALL BROTHER'S FOR REACTING TO BLACK THOUGHT ONE OF THE GREATEST MC'S OF ALL TIME. I BEEN WAITING FOR Y'ALL TO REACT TO THIS!
THE greatest. numero uno
Never gets old. One of the greatest freestyles ever. Top 5 easy. 👍🏿
Not a freestyle lol....dope nonetheless
@@jasonhart1079 it is a freestyle tho.
number one. name another mc who can do this. no one can do this. he is not a human
@@MichellBollingerwritten freestyle, I'm still getting used to calling it a freestyle if it's not off the top
clicked faster than black thought's brain flow
Lets goooo black thought goes hard
Facts
I thought the same for a second, but thats actually impossible lmao
FACTS 🤣💯
🔥
black thought is so underrated, this dude still and will forever be one of my favorite rappers, this dude has and had bars for years
You know a freestyle is fire when everyone looking like the smelled a skunk. Lol
I went to an HBCU in the 90's. The roots were like part of the survival kit. That was the vibe in campus.
‘Thought’ really is the modern day Shakespeare!!!!
I mean, he DID use a play on a Shakespeare line...which is one of the reasons he's so dope
I remember this is one of the reason why Eminem wants him in MTBMB. Well, he's the beast. Philly legend, Black Thought
Thought killed his verses on Yah Yah too! Loved Em's ad lib of "keep goin'" during Thought's verse. Like "Yah, just keep murdering that mic bro, we got time."
This an actual freestyle..probably the best there is
Beyond every''listen'' he unlocks new level crazy. Thank God to witness this
I have listened to this numerous times. He got 10 punchlines in this FREESTYLE better then anything i have heard this century.
Black thoughts is so underrated it’s not funny give him his flowers and respect ✊
This freestyle taught me more than I learned in school. I had to pause this shit every 15 seconds to look up the references he was making. Black Thought is up there with Proof as the best freestyler of all time. It's just insane!
“Maki’n heads or tails we like Henrietta Lacks up in the cells”.
I just looked up what that meant. God damn 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yours truly the celestial being who you see stay pullin up in a fresh European.
Man tht is so fire
Finally we got the reaction! Black Thought's freestyle is insane, mind blown
Black Thought been a Beast….I can’t believe y’all just now hearing this.
Trilly said he didn't know bout Roots before Chappelle?! Glad yall finally caught this epic example of legendary lyricism!
You have to understand thought is from different era where rappers or lyricists that the words is taken seriously the storytelling. Having breath control that’s gives stamina working on your craft.

This will never get old 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This was excellent!! 10/10 black thought is always sharp when it comes to the lyrics.
Black Thought is the final boss of the hip hop game.
Black Thought/Loaded Lux... Best freestyles eeeeeever on Funk Flex
Not a freestyle...dope nonetheless
@@jasonhart1079 where's it from?? Is it a song
My journalistic range is a catalyst for change is the coldest BAR on here!!!!
I saw the roots 5 times in the 90s. Once at Woodstock 99. One of the best shows ever.
Real talk nobody trying to see Black Thought. He’s so nice with it.
That was a Masterclass in freestyling. Black Thought is top5 of ALL TIME. PERIOD.
He not even a rapper he a poet fr
This is thee greatest freestyle ever. No arguments.
I met him yesterday in montreal and took a picture with him he's a real MC ❤
Greatest rap performance of all time. The true Goat.
Black thought is my favorite rapper. Number 1
Best freestyle ever..this is Smithsonian worthy. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Jimmy Fallon did have a scroll of the lyrics made up for Mr. Trotter. Put that in the museum.
Give this Man his flowers Outstanding flow
Best. Freestyle. Ever.
The best freestyle EVER. No doubt. Listen back 100 times and you'll still probably not get all the references he's making. I had to look some of them up!!! Greatness
Absolute HARDEST freestyle of all time. There will never be one better.
Thank ya'll for the true rap i loved every minute of it shout out to you guys for putting this on now i have faith in the rap game again 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Black Thought must have gills for freestyling or something because damn ,he did not run out of breath at all.
Finally this freestyle in a major reaction channel
Yup...this one's in the history books. 💯
Mans freestyle has more skill and knowledge than most other rappers whole catalogue.
Thoughts vocab is second to none..this is really insane like rain man type shit, dude ain’t normal 🔥🔥🔥
Black Thought said on Jimmy Fallon not too long after this that this was a 100% freestyle, none of the shit was written. This was Dec of 2019, and I still haven't seen a rapper top this. Some have come close, but not quite
only other person that can do anything close to this on earth is harry mack
Black Thought’s brain is probably like a rubix cube I promise you it has to be because to do that with no long breaks is just incredible
Noizee ayyy! Glad to see other people showing Harry Mack love! The dude is insane at freestyling off the dome!
Well , he actully didn't, he just said it was freestyle and freestyle is a wide category these days. Tariq and Em on top of the game no one even close.
@@BizonURS agreed, Em was the the closest to this level when he went for around the same amount of time. This is on a different tier though respectfully.
You would love his freestyle on shay with method man, straight goodness
Every bars a quote

Harry Mack - Omegle Bars (any #)
@@mikeshnitser they’re not ready for Hmack.
Had to come back to this after hearing the XXL cypher. REAL BARS!
The best written freestyle I have heard this decade.
The greatest freestyle in rap history. Not even debatable
“How much more CB4 can we afford,
It’s like a Shariah Law on “My Cherie Amour,
How much hypocrisy can people possibly endure,
But ain’t nobody working of a cure..”
So dope!!!
Blacked out the entire time, greatness!!!!!!
Philadelphia stand up we got the best rappers hands down we got the 👑
Nobody f'n with the Talented Mr. Trotter...
All time classic
This was straight fire. The best freestyle to ever be laid down has to be Big L's 98' freestyle. Check that shit out.
Yo im surprised Ross didn't get out the chair on this one. Black Thought spazzed
@Xilis Beats I'm guessing he didn't leave cuz they saw the video is a whopping 10 minute long lmao. Otherwise he would've left in the first 3 minutes😂
Ain't run up of his chair , this gets chill and cold af
Black is the greatest 🔥🔥💕💕
This might be the greatest freestyle of all time
Glad you guys reacted to this black thought is a hip hop icon
tariq trotter a legend, no cap. the roots are legends.👌
Holy shit Black Thought went nuts on this. One of the best ever. Crazy. Waiting to see you guys also react to a Harry Mack Omegle Bars freestyle episode. Honestly any one will be fire but since 40 he's been next level.
The breath control and bars crazy
black thought is so underated
Black Thought is a G.O.A.T.!!!
Daaaaayum… I don’t think anyone can do better than this, this is TOP SHELF!!!
That’s one of the illest freestyles ever. I’m glad y’all checked it out 💯💯
Did he just rhyme every possible combination of words in existence all in one freestyle? I feel like he just did that.
Unsubstantiated fact: The musically induced stankface is why we call funky music "funky".
Best freestyle!!🔥🔥🔥🔥 Black Thought is the Goat 🐐
Eight seconds into vid and I hear "we haven't heard this before" I start slowly shaking my head. 4 years of college in 15 mins
YES! I know Dub already reacted to Loaded Lux’s Flex freestyle but I’d love to see the other two react to it.
