When you hear BlackThough's last few bars on Dostoyevsky!
"Unless it's fabricated, probably drug related
But love or hate it, I will not be subjugated
When they scream at you the greatest that did it, was underrated
As if every other player who spit it was unrelated
If every man's a temple, the circumstance is simple
So to be transcendental, I do enhance the mental
This is elder statesmen conversation
Take a look into them books from down in the basement"

Not only is Black Thought a lyrical Titan, but he is mad versatile. I don’t think he gets enough credit for his versatility
Black Thought and 9th wonder new jawn is 17 minutes of pure classic material.
Caesar Black definitely 100% dundee
Caesar Black facts!!!!!!
Caesar Black facts best project to drop this year
Yea this nigga Yoda frfr
Caesar Black FACTS
As close as to a perfect rapper we will see🔥🔥🔥
💯💯 Facts!!!
Hashim Junior yeah I agree with that statement
If not he's reached perfection.
Close to it!
He's not a rapper HE'S A EMCEE BIG HUGE DIFFERENCE
Nobody wants smoke with Black Thought. Legend
The irony is he called out everyone as well.
In all his music. Every one he calls out rappers like he says "all". Why does it matter? Because he does it EVERYTIME. He wants beef but the man is too advanced that no one and I repeat NO ONE wants beef with.
Yea this man would cook anyone! His only real competition would be KRS-ONE
@@DreiSkins101 bis would kill him
HA!! Bis couldn’t even hang with Dizaster
Black thanos
305 R.A.P This Thanos thing keeps popping up.
305 R.A.P on Gawd im takin this...
PERFECT
Thanos is the white black thought
That's a name for a track right there. Better gone head and copyright that and get your best lyricist and producer together 😂
Black Thought, of House Thought, the first of his name, the King of flows and the King of Studio 6B, Protector of the Mic, the unburnt and un-outrapped, sir regnant of the Philly, the Khal of the Roots, the breaker of beats, the father of freestyle.
He’s so beautifully talented inside and out! He didn’t lie when he said he was cut from a different cloth! *”If everybody is somebody, then who the hell am I?”* The fact that he still remembered those verses from months ago is crazy! ❤️ #BlackThoughtTheGoat
Rosey Florestal so effortlessly too. Its crazy to think how many of his verses he has dedicated to memory like that.
Black Thought is an incredible talent. He is intellectual pro black and pro human. His breath control is always impeccable and his word choice and vocabulary is legendary. He's a smart dude but streetwise. Nobody you know that raps really wants that smoke with Tarik.
Beanie Siegel and Black thought was a group.... lol... that's hip hop hisrory.. I can't even imagine how that would even sound today.... dope tho
I love that everyone from my era is coming back it's so awesome right now shout out to black thought much love
"the desperado that refuse to follow,
the fifth aficionado break you up into parts like vibrato"
Baidawi Assing in my Top 10 beats of all times!
I'll never forget meeting you on the set of Freestyle Friday when I was the Wild Card champ oldhead! Epic moment in my life! S/O PC 💪 #Philly
Black to me is beyond THE RAP GOAT, he is a man I aspire to be as a person, the humility the knowledge the wisdom the humor the wit. All. I love him. Rosenberg got my biggest respect for being such a true rap head, especially when he showed his appreciation multiple times for Black's legacy.
I never questioned or doubted Black Thoughts rhyming.
Ya'll act surprised by his last freestyle.
72vince27 I knew he was nice since 1994
Bruce Lo yeah I was born in 93 so haven't known for that long.
But as soon as I could differentiate between music and good music. I knew The Roots were nice and Black Thought had a pen game.
72vince27 word aaaaaaand djvlad lost any kind of lil ounce of a micron of ANYTHING he has to say regarding hiphop. He should be whitelisted.
“This ain’t my story bout rags to riches more bout how I mastered physics” - DC🐐
Butcher right?
Been a black thought fan since The Organix. Shout Out to The Legendary Roots Crew past & present members also✌
southjerseysfinest I miss Leonard Hubbard!! Loved them from way back.
southjerseysfinest the organixs dope album

The 53 people who gave a thumbs down can step on new Legos barefoot.
New ones that's clásico.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😁
Legos expensive as hell nowadays they're priced accordingly with ammunition
@Stephen ssr&rtv2020 dawg I didn't even say that where did that come from?
Nah they can step on landmines..

- The God Black Thought
He’s speaking facts! Hip Hop guru! Salute Black thought and the roots crew!!!
Black Thought , otherwise known as the supreme court justice of hip hop because he stays giving bar exams.
David Saintloth nice. Mumble rappers should
💀🔫⚰️
@@bjheady4379 they should "kiiiillll themselves"
A$ap Rocky, Freddie Gibbs and Anderson .paak should be stoked to have a fan like Black Thought.
StupidIsAsStupidDoe2 absolutely, hope they understand the significance.
Freddie Gibbs and Black Thought have a song together
Why is Black Thought a Rocky fan? 🤣🤣🤣
Especially ASAP lmao
I was hoping he'd say joey badass
I'd fucking love to see him and Beans rockin it back in the day......I dont care how old they were!!! That's some classic footage if it exists.
Hip Hop raised me Black Thought definitely one of my most influential teachers love you fam
OutKast used to jog while rapping to improve their breath control
That's dedication to the craft
I think Destiny's Child did a similar thing: sang whilst jogging👌
OutKast...and Bey had 'fierce' (Lol) competition and performing high energy with quality delivery is what make you virtuoso. Nas, Jay and Big...or Rakim are not known for their dancing but I gotta give it up to Kane, as he was that guy.
Max Gerhardt I think that's mad dope you know that too. I watch a lot of hip hop docs and I remember big boi saying that
Ethereal Synchronicity444 she was definitely 'fierce' 😂👊
I am just happy he mentioned that Harvard freestyle, not everybody is aware of it. It is so immaculate and informative that they even blocked the comment section. #SouthAfrica
2022 and the freestyle remains unmatched.
Am I the only one who caught Black Thought say he had a group in his younger years with Beanie Siegel 😨😮
100mandestiny he’s spoken about in a few times. Him and Beans grew up together and where in a rap group for while as kids. Thought didn’t get with Questlove until high school
the FIRST time you heard beans on wax was The Roots' Adrenaline back in 99
I was like woooooow beans and thought, sad they didnt dwell on it, just for the sake of hiphop ..damn it ebro and co....
100mandestiny right
Beanie has a DOPE verse on Things Fall Apart
One of the Last men standing in Hip Hop !!Broher aint never promoted harm in to the community
Anyone that steps to him in cause hurt though.
Black Thought the GOAT!
A Black Thought, Rakim and Big Daddy Kane calabo would be 🔥🔥🔥
Kool G Rap too. His mentor
Bruh that's too much
B4 bdk went soft
....with Caz too
Black Thought is the definition of how great we can be when we let go of ego. We've been trained to think that to be a great mc u have to have this huge ego but humbleness will take u way farther than having a super ego ever will
Lyrically you can't convince me there's anyone better! GOAT!
There isn't not even EM
For sure ain't no one
Andre 3000
@Bob George Not Nas.
Tech N9ne!!!
KRS-ONE said that way bakk in da dey..... he said every year he goes down the top ten hottest RAPPERS and MC's at that time and right a battle record for each person on the list..... jus in case! HIP HOP LIVES!
Word, that's love, love for hip hop
I have yet to hear anyone bring what KRS-ONE once said... Nice!
KRS one of the best lyricists of all time
The beard game tween black and Ebro is lethal lol
😭💀
This guy is in a league of his own.
Black Thought always moves with pride and dignity and represents our city properly. As far as the length of albums it's going back to shorter albums and fewer songs and more quality
!
This brotha's slept on and for the life of me, I just don't know why, but he's in my top 5 greatest lyricist of all time...Yes, I said it....There's level to this game and he's always elevating, never stagnant........
Tarnue Slept on by who???
PL Boogie - to the ones who opposed his music....
If he's only in your top 5.... your sleeping on him
The funkflex microphone he used is in the Smithsonian museam..it has been retired
I was in high school when the "roots come alive" album came out. I had memorised mad songs already, but listening to the live performances I realized that Thought is not human. His mind is too agile, versatile, and vicious. Not human. He flipped so many lyrics in the live shows, I realized that the lyrics on the original album were just a snap shot of his mind at the time... The lyrics and the ideas don't ever stop moving and evolving. Every time he touches the mic it's live and direct, hot off the grill..
I'd love a Black Thought and Anderson .Paak collab.
I'd stroke right out.
Bruhhh... Nobody with Rapsody has both of them. 😂
Ladies and Gentlemen, your favorite rapper's favorite rapper
YES!!! Just what I needed to make it through the last hour at work, some great content to listen to.
Tariq had the best freestyle of all time hands down
Abdullah Fazal do you think it was better than that loaded lux?
Big L had the best freestyle
Black and loaded.
Black Thought, Loaded Lux ,Mysonne- top 3
Naw put Papose instead of mysonne.
Beautiful interview, really appreciated the dive into hiphop and MCing from the point of view of a real MC. Big up to Black Thought!
More people need to see this... Youngsters take note. Class. Skill. Brah....
Thank you for this Ebro & Rosenburg- going in with Black Thought
His greatest lyrical performance on an album top to bottom is on Illadeph Halflife IMO favorite songs are No Alibi and Section
brkjeff No Alibi is pure flames!!! I'm glad there's another person that acknowledges that song also
JAIMIE MARTINEZ salute
Illadelph Halflife is my favorite hip-hop album and No Alibi is my favorite song on my favorite album 😆
That’s when he came off age,bought that album in 1997 and i still have the same album to date...BY FAR THE BEST HIP HOP ALBUM... RESPOND/REACT,NO ALIBI are my favorite joints till today.
✌🏿🇿🇦
DASHYDASH EYESPOKE
I’m just a lyricist and chemist of the hemp,
The beat pimp
The ill philly resident that’s far from hesitant,
Corrupt like a president
Never benevolent but poetically prevalent
Cooler than peppermint....🔥🔥🔥🔥
Only reason they’re dropping less records on the albums now is because nobody is buying cds anymore. Imagine buying a cd for $20 and only getting 5 songs I wouldn’t have done it. Now they’re getting paid for steams so putting out 5-7 fire traccs is all you need
I want to say the first bone&thugs was only 7 songs... I pick that up real quick.
PHILLY NEVER GET THE RESPECT IT DESERVES 💓👏👏👏👏
Jamal.
Philly underground and street rap is untouched
Great interview/talk like always
Great interview with the legendary black thought streams of thought on replay right now real hip-hop in body but is due once again great interview EE bro shut out to all the hip-hop nerds
Criminally underrated god MC status right here!!! first time I heard Black Thought rap was in 96 on the Roots single *What They Do*. The timeless flow, introspective bars and the gravitas of his cadence just affirmed what a special talent he is.
Ozzy Meck Underrated by whom?
PL Boogie Hotline bling, Gucci gang generation
Ozzy Meck They are still wet behind their ears
Ebro thanks for this interview bro I really appreciate the fact that you threw black great questions and peter thanks for making him open up about things I always wanted to know great job guys
Love his comments on Logic; i’m not the biggest fan of Logics music, but i really like him as a dude and sometimes thats more important.
I love this interview! It's so important for an emcee to be versatile and being able to rock at many tempos and styles. That's what I think casual fans don't understand about hip-hop! These emcees are on a god-level for music-making skills and can't be compared to these mumble rappers and most of the new artists.
I'm stealing "wasted syllables". I'm not wasting syllables on y'all!
ToroidalVortexLove In the freestyle, he says he is charging for awkward conversation. Beast mode!!!
THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING THE DOC!!!!! One of my favorites talking about the maker of my FAVORITE songs of all times. The Formula!
There aren’t 5 pens better in the history of hip hop with the longevity, consistency, & skill..
Best MC Alive. Period
Sanele Mthingi ehhh Royce da 5’9 is nice
Sanele Mthingi Rakim the best emcee alive.
Nope Nas Kendrick, And Eminem is.
He way better than rminem
Eminem*
I hope this man gets the proper recognition as a GOAT that he deserves before he passes away. Let’s appreciate this man’s greatness right now
One of the best interviews y'all have done!
Great interview. Well done. We got to the good stuff at the end
When a freestyle gives you chills and goosebumps. Smh
“The same unseen hands in control of it “😭
Dope interview
This was just a great interview. It really shows that you guys love the culture. You can tell Black Thought loved to be there. Props. No other show like it
Black Thought had the best freestyle of all time on Funk Flex, Daylyt, Loaded Lux and Mysonne got in their bags too.
P.S Black Thought's Harvard Innovation Lab freestyle was fascinating, go listen to the whole thing cuz there is more to it.
Black Thought is top 5! No debate needed. Philly 🔥 I’d love to know who disliked this
Savva Savvage I'D like to think those dislikes are from young ones who don't know better.
Savva Savvage who ever dislike this need to study the history of music that black thought been bless us with for two decade now
Savva Savvage top 5 nah. He is unlistable dude. He just exist as MC. Then the listings start. He just IS.
Savva Savvage
More Philly hip hop frm under the roots umbrella th-cam.com/video/iUQJFGZ9CkQ/w-d-xo.html
Beverly Huttinger he doesn’t sound like NY. He sounds like he’s on a whole different level! Alien status. The man is unbelievable at what he does. Few are on his wordplay, rhyming, writing and rapping level in history. With substance too. Also he was rappin in Philly streets 25 yrs ago! He’s Philly but more important he’s Hip Hop period tbh. Beans and them are nowhere near Thought talent wise.
Black Thought seems so authentic💯. Love from Cape Town💙🇿🇦
MsLee Faulmann He is as authentic as any MC can get..
I have been waiting for a serious interview with Black Thought, one of the greatest MCs. Thank you!
THOUGHT ATE DIS MORNING LIKE BREAKFAST💯

Lotta waffles and bacon

Ceaze Bred TV you right
Can’t stop this, Clock with no hands Yessir
Clock With No Hands is so emotional, 'sitting on the staircase holding back tears looking over mad years worth of photographs'
Best Roots song ever, so deep!!
Emcees, Writers and Poets are a great example of what the synthesis of information looks like. To use your five senses, while also using introspection and metacognition is a highly developed skill
thanks for this hot 97... Classic stuff...
Best hip-hop EMCEE on the planet right now Black Thought Not even close
"Took a cobblestone alley through a mercy street alley/more championship rings the John Salley/Biochemically on par with Salvatore Dalle"
That is almost verbatim off (Streams of Thought) of "Making a Murderer" featuring Styles P! This song gave me heart palpitations.....
My O My
Black Thought is an ICON...great interview!!
When listening to HipHop, Black Thought is always on my thoughts.
If Black Thought Was A Super Hero, He Would Be Black Bolt, Or Black Lightening!
Moe Green Question Love Is Thanos!!!
def Black Bolt, he sneezes, and half your universe is gone instantaneously!
Not really... Black Thought in itself is a hero's name.
Nah Bro....Black thought says it all....24 billion miles per second
Get chills when Thought spits...if he talks in his sleep then I'm sure tour fire dept then been at his house many times🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Facts
Best Interview!
One of the greatest lyricist EVA!!!, Black Thought Super lyrical individual. Definitely one of the greats!!!
He is the best free style artist ever.His content is the best ever.
Love hearing a highly intelligent rap artist speak!
I agree with Rosenberg. One of my all time favorite songs is Love of My Life with Common and The Roots.
I never hesitate to click on a Black Thought video. He always delivers.
Legendary Roots Crew
Streams of Thought Vol.1 is fueeeego. I'm feeling the 2nd track the most
That's a fact.
Finally he’s getting some shine. He’s been underrated as a MC! So glad he’s getting the roses he deserves!
Black Thought is one of the best easily and never gets mentioned.
Black Thought is the epitome of the real hip hop I grew up on in the Boogie Down back in the day!
Black thought used to rap for sport
Kosta Douvos classic joint
Now the rhyme sayin, rent payin, life support. I take it very seriously within the industry...
There's various crews that try to touch me...
I take it very seriously...
...within this industry
You guys are lucky to see greatness
Black Thought is Loveable... and I am feeling the fangirl vibe of this whole video. 40 minutes and worth it.
South Philly’s Finest!
