When the beat starts, Thought is sitting there bobbing his head like Dr. Strange going through 14 million outcomes. 🐐
Facts.
How many did he win? 14 million.....
That is the most accurate description. This was a masterclass for sure.
Black Thought vs Everybody
Lol...Dr Thought
When Black Thought started, I fully understood why Meth pulled out his phone lol
Timothy H. Exactly! When there is a time you hear Meth get slaughtered like that by a fellow Mc with that kind or relaxation.... We are blessed
😰😂😂😂
Taj Stanley 😭😭😭👏👏👏💯
He wrote it for the sure
Timothy H. 😂😂😂👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Even 5yrs later this freestyle bangs 🔥
king tech and sway brought so many and man ppl give it big back
damn was this 5 years ago already
I keep banging this like it's a fresh freestyle at least once a year lol
It’s been that long?
Will be 2525 and still be straight 🔥
for the ones who dont understand hip hop... meth is one of the most timeless emcees alive... one of the best at this thing called hip hop.. and even he is constantly scrolling thru the archive for bars just to KEEP UP... thats food for thought 💭
Well said G!
*food for Black Thought :)
He had to go to the sd card🤦♂️
Method man is absolutely not even in the top 50 bro
@@biggestpacfanalive7521 you smoked out method is a legend and deserves it . He's top 10 in my books he has always been underrated. If he ain't in your top 50 . Then you just don't listen to real hip-hop
Black thought is the final boss to beat in this game we call Hip-Hop
My dude that is literally the greatest description I ever read about Black Thought, I SALUTE YOU!!!!!!!
HARD FACTS
Lightweight embarrassed for Tical but he even knew Tariq was untouchable. Suuuu.
@Random Hajile bruh. No
He's like the Bowser, and the castle is hip hop. LMAO
Thought always wearing those dark ass shades to hide his rolled back raiden eyes when the hip hop flow possession takes over.
Lol exactly how i pictured it in my mind yo! 😁😎
Juice 🥤world 🌏 needs them babies
I actually just laughed loud as shit sitting at my cubicle 😂😂😂
😂
That's for reals. Full on trance!...
This freestyle NEVER gets old.
I see what you did there
Method Man is a living legend, and you can tell he has Black Thought's love and respect. But I'm glad people are recognizing how ridiculous Black Thought is. He was overlooked for too long.
He's been well known and respected on the streets for 30+ years. Just no on media
"Money is time and the reaper knows the budget"
-Black Thought
That shit was HOT!!
@@shadowgod7523 To start off the fucking verse too!
He always says some shit to make you stop and think real hard about ya life ! 🤣
This makes so much sense
Came out the gate swinging didn't he bro👀👀👀👀👀🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😂😂😂😂
Meth = One of the greatest voices and delivery ever in Hip-Hop.
Thought = Arguably THE most technically proficient wordsmith ever in Hip-Hop.
word
Its between him and Elzhi for most technical rappers
At this point its between Black Thought and Lupe fiasco for being the best most technically proficient MCs
Locksmith has to be on that list.
Tech N9ne has to be on that list
“My conscience was immaculate,
Before the packages
Now we the advocate
For every type of sacrilege…”
-Black Thought
Good gracious.
Black Thought had me at money is time and reaper know the budget. Done.
Done!
hard bar
Likewise
No matter who said that first, I'm sure Black thought said it better...
BARZ
“They say time is money and the reaper know the budget”🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That line has lived in my head rent free for years now
5 years later that’s still the hardest line I’ve heard
@@joshuagoodwin4352how
Eish haunts me till today lol black thoughts an alien
3:33 Black Thought acknowledged the bars. It's what makes the game worth it! :)
Notice he laughed before Method Man got it out. He wrote the rest of that bar in his head on the fly and beat the MC to it.
This is just nuts. Thanks for even putting these two in the same room. This is incredible.
“Can I get one of them waters” it was over at that point
Can I get one of them wooders? That’s that Philly area accent.
True that🤞🏾
100%
FACTS!!!!!
😄😄😄😄😄I've never heard a plural for water?
I love that Method Man recognized that the beat was J.I.D's. They both killed it!
hello what. this beat????
@@djsylock JID - Never , it’s the beat change halfway through the song
He's worked with Meth on DiCaprio 2. Both legends. Old and new.
Real recognise Real.
He didn't only recognize it. He gave it the utmost respect by pulling out some written verses for that fire. Never know, those could have been verses he was planning on putting on a track, but realized this was there true resting place
That money time and the reaper knowing the budget is absolutely god tier
Black thought probably one of the best hiphop heads around now.
EVER.
Not probably
one of? THE GOAT
He has the number 2 head band
Thought reading rhymes off the inside of his glasses
⚰️⚰️⚰️💀💀💀
lol!
😭😭😭😭
That is brilliant mate! Well said 😂👊🏻
😆😆
They way Thought sits there relaxing like a king on his throne ready to bless the masses......totally relaxed because he knows he is the ruler.
nah ... BT is humble. Just a HIP-HOP (conscious) love of the music. He's BEEN that way since the beginning. Y'all act like you never heard him decades ago.
He really looks at rappers like a court jester. Entertain me if you can.
@@who26 yea man
Yea mam
@@angelioforosaletheia8855 Sorry but I am from Philly and know about BT from the days of "Black Lily" with Jill Scott and many others, can't claim to be a friend but I remember his actual Free Style skills from decades ago..others are just experiencing it. Plus ask any rapper alive presently if they will rap next to him with no notice.....most will say yes.....then say he is in the other room and watch their ears bleed.
That 2nd verse of thoughts is unmatched.
It is not possible to write anything better. Just the level of skill emcee's have evolved to is phenomenal.
03:40
When he just casually comes out with "Thought and Meth, the legendary Roots Crew Tang" I lost my fucking mind
I’m from Philly and I recognize black thought as a lyrical monster and this freestyle is incredible, but to say no one can match what he wrote is a little too much for me. There are many verses I can think of that blew that one out of the water, but that doesn’t take away from what he did, and I give a lot of props and love to him. Eminem is superior, technically to him.
@@ShadzVibez I get what you’re saying and it’s all very subjective. Eminem raps faster. But the intelligence, content, tone, style, creative rhyme schemes and cadence put Black Thought in a whole different league for me.
@@mastadon7771 I think we’re people are divided on Eminem is the content of what he is saying, because the things that Black Thought speaks about are more relatable to me but if you break it down to the technical aspect of rap, Eminem takes it hands-down. Even on songs where it sounds like he’s just rapping fast and not seeing anything, he puts things together that my ears have never heard. I love black thought, and I am from Philly, but when people leave a comment and say that it is impossible to write anything better than he wrote, and there is nothing that can match this verse I have to disagree. Go listen to mural by Lupe Fiasco. This verse was good, but there are a lot of other great verses and this isn’t even black thoughts best verse
That is a master on the mic right there.
Method and Black Thought spitting fire while Frodo in the background bout to throw the ring in it
Black thought dropped jewels in the napping pose
Allen Blackwell ... On some ill shit
😂💯
AND EEEEEASY!
Allen Blackwell highkey killled meth....but its all love
Black thought is too much
“They say money is time and the reaper know the budget.”
Right off the bat, heat.
That flew over my head thanks that shit flame
thought or meth?
thought said it
That shit real. Right off rip that line gave me chills.
His flow , delivery and bars are so fire
"Started from the bottom, now I am lonely at the top".....That line even made Method Mah move away from his phone.>Black thought is a beast, Meth is a beast
5 Yrs Later, still bumpin this
Remember when every rapper had to have bars or they weren’t really respected?
this man lucky meech spits fye
more big rappers used to be focused on rap skills ,but that doesn't mean every popular rapper was crazy skilled. People make it seem like anyone who rapped over a boom bap beat in the 90s was a great rapper when some of them were just saying bullshit
It was never like that
that aint never changed

Black Thought is on another level. He might be the living avatar of rap.
You right ✅
Too funny
Fasho🔥
Honestly, there's at least a dozen lyricists I LOVE, but Black Thought is on another level entirely. There's nobody even CLOSE, and that's a huge compliment to those who are.
Krs -one don't sleep on Teacher
They both went in and killed it, I can see Ghost face killer rapping on that beat as well
Fuckin facts bro..!! Ghost would murder this shit!!
What's the best called
@@elijahtaylor8261 NEVER, by JID. It’s the beat that plays in the second half of the song.
God Bless Black Thought and Method Man. Shout out from Philadelphia. 💪
Black just casually spits " Black Johann Sebastian, the Zohan of fashion. Yo kind ain't really showing no signs of gasping. Go find a caption to explain the neutron and proton attraction" . The GOAT no question.
@@JohnDoe-lj8yy str8 facts
Mad Willionaire lol this mans brain is one some other shit it really is unreal when you compare it to most rappers their bars. Truly blessed mc
Stop using the term goat its nothing more than satanic influance in hiphop goat is a reference to the baphomet thst they worship ...
@@thesaviorofALL go home
Cdy rgy rny ..your a goof
Black thoughts one of the most underrated MCs of all time🔥
Link Pellow....Did you hear the joint he did with David Banner on the God Box album?????!!!!!!....It's one his Top 5 verses of all time!!!...#HANDS #DOWN
Link Pellow Also the greatest of all time
Link Pellow The Most!
Chuuuuuuuuuch, Preach, Tabernacle!!!!!!!
#fact
Anytime black thought goes to freestyle it’s a blessing in this game
Wow! These two went hard on this beat! Method Man and Black Thought killed this! I'm a huge Double M fan!
Black Thought is your favorite rapper's favorite rapper. MC's know they got to come with that heat when they're next to him.
DEAD ASS
young royal lol
I know some hard body Mc' s that really was "back stage talkin to management like change the order/there's no way that we could rock after them" and that's not just a thought bar, that's a fact I heard it with my own ears.
LOL....Meth pulled out his writtens....cause he know Black drops real bars- no phone needed
I thought that was Beas....
Method Man was like "fuck it man i gotta use this Spanish verse early"
Lol
hahahaa i felt the same man both GOATs though
i thought it was just me that peeped that lol :D
🤣
Black Thought is an Alien 👽
I will forever love Method. 'I've loved him since the 90s...... Black Thought is smooth and slick simultaneously.
Idk who killed it more imma be honest, 2 absolute legends on the same beat!
Black Thought said "they say that money is time and the reaper know the budget..." SON.
Dee Phunk the Legendary Roots Crutang threw me off for a nice surprise too.
Bruh.
That line was HARD BODY
Bryan Williams ... That was so dope. 🔥🔥🔥
Dee Phunk fukn 🔥
Thought is not human! How does he have terabytes of lyrics in his hard drive stored DAMN!
FACTS!!!
Lmao facts
Checks his interview with king crooked and you will learn how he debuted in this game
DOOM, Black Thought, Em,Gface Killah, Biggie,Andre 3000, Joey Bad$$, Big L some of the Greatest lyricists of all time
$omething different
This is unreal, black thoughts freestyle is the best I’ve ever heard, and genuinely sounds like a freestyle. Man’s a genius
I still come back here every year. Black Thought was on another level of shit
5:45 Meth: "See I wasn't suppose to come after that last verse Thought did. That shit was hard". Even the best out there need to recognize the GREATNESS! Black Thought so underrated.
evo meekz True indeed!
Jafe Jo what do you mean with "washed"?
Jafe Jo If by washed you mean thought got him on this cipher, then yes, but overall they both killed quit hatin on meth...
Kenneth Martin Ok thanks, but me hatin' Meth??? He's the best rapper ever to me, don't judge.
Zoë Jansen are you jafe joe? I wasn't talking to you unless y'all are the same person. So chill and I'll judge whatever the fuck I want
You fool... thats not even Black Thoughts final form
Ha!!!
Facts! 1% #friexa 🤣😂
His final form was the Flex Freestyle lol
Haha he didn't even go super saiyan 1 here but we all know he has about four levels of God mode left
LITERALLY OMG 😭
Sway is the Biggest fan luvin it--- you can see it in his eyes... BT and MM... how is the studio still standin... hip hop's finest
Just a couple of Legends doing Legendary things.💯🔥🔥💯
Meth has one of the most unique and smoothest flows in rap history. No one can even attempt to bite his style.
Snoop Dog, for example... B-Real... Noize MC...
I tried to bite his style and i got a nose bleed
That Loki thor hammer can't touch this shit was nuts. Fuck. He killed it too!
Yuriy TheOne nah man and snoop is trash
@@yuriytheone snoop is trash foshizzle
Elijah Wood randomly on the side listening and filming! 😂🤣
had my dying lol
I KNEW I wasn't trippin!
😂
Starts around 5:04 or so lmao
Shit that is Elijah Wood
Meth stay tapped in. He knew it was a J.I.D. beat and gave him his props too. That was delightful to witness. Hip-Hop is the best!
Method killed it as well
Nope😂
@@PenguiinMan yep
I just don’t respect pulling a phone out. I can freestyle off the top of my head and I’m just a normal dude who occasionally raps/writes music.
@@DecimalD_ respect that. Lots of guys don't really freestyle. I listen to a lot of Wayne and he repeats things from mixtapes and Al during live freestyle sessions. Not saying Blk thought didn't freestyle, but that was just too great to be off the dome like that. That shi was a masterpiece
Black thought is crazy, your favourite MC's favourite MC
Methods flow still gives me chills
That's not freestyle his reading written lyrics lmao
didnt say anything about a free style
They both are living legends but that man Black Thought is special 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
Black Thought...Class is now in session. LONG LIVE HIP HOP!
'I might have to read my shit cuz Black Thought in here' - Method Man.
When a legend gives you that much respect you are in god mode.
Thats all i heard
A beast always recognizes another beast.
Black thought has never had a wack verse fact !!!
Iqiniso lelo
Damn right. Black thought is a beast
Black thought vs Sticky Fingaz
Bar for fuck- Ing Bar for bar for barrrrrrr
Canibus vs B.T
@@onyxtytanium964 mos def
Both these dudes been absolute slaughtering it for over 30 years. Insane x legend shit
Everytime I come back to this, a different line hits. This time it's "The message over when you learn, Beef ain't over for carrying ashes in an urn"
Who's still listening to this in 2020🎶🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 best freestyle ever
broooo you know real heat seeker are here
Still bumpin
Apart from thoughts 10mn freestyle this is no2. 👌
This shit is fire
Well DAMN !!!!THOUUGHT CRAAAAZY DOOOOPE !!!!!!
Meth saying J.I.D is the man makes me happy
Fax. Good to know legends pay attention to the new baby GOATs
@@adamm7922 lol at baby goats :)
I watched this freestyle so many times before I even knew who JID was, I ignored meth saying his name. I assumed he was just a producer or something. I was missing out for so long.....man I really should've googled that damn name back then lol he one of my favorite current artists now
what beat is this???
@@masterk5066
It's the second beat on 'NEVER' by J.I.D. There is a beat flip exactly 2 minutes into the song into this beat.
I love this! This is a Versus I didn't know I needed! Both my big bros delivered!
Bruh, the talent is amazing in this video. Crazy
"The first cut is the deepest the worst part is repeated" - Black Thought. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Black Thought ripped that shit all over the place...
"Money is time and The Reaper know the budget." ....
"I'mma leave these ni**as leakin like I'm Julian Assange." ...
"The Hood fella with the Hermes edge. Number 1 storyteller, what the survey says."
"Y'all all the way turned up, but I'm amplified."
"Somethin nasty skirted off the lot. It's darker than the kettle, I am darker than the pot. I am all day composing classics like Vivaldi. Graffiti on the walls of the hallowed hallways."
Dead.
@@wideopen5578 i thought he said Juulie in the sun, like a Juul, the vape, because some bad vapes leak and I thought heat had something to do with that lmfao
Black Thought... The silent assassin. Burned my computer screen down.
5 yrs later and damn. Thought is timeless.
Thank god I grew up in the 90,s
eaz8888 me 2 Damn lord knows we had It Good and very well Blessed Back then with this Hip Hop and RnB shit son SMH
"When a leader get to speaking, it's your duty to respond. Imma leave these fellas leaking, like I'm Julian Assange" - Black Thought. GOAT!
Absolute. Unmitigated. Genius.
Genius
🔥👍🏿
That line was deadly!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thought is not human..🔥🔥🔥🔥
The line “rooting tooting slang shootin “ killed the last verse 😂
I always come back to this classic. Method man is stunned by Thoughts word play. 😂
Same. Meth knows he's out classed. And I love that Meth's ego betrays him.
@@mr.nihilz3283 absolutely. Dude had to read some raps he wrote previous while Big Thought came straight off the dome. I can not think of one artist on Thoughts level.
@@Th3Watch3r Though is #1 on my goat list. Followed by a 2nd tier of Mos 3000 Monch & Aesop.
@@mr.nihilz3283 I can't really disagree at all. Those are all absolutely Top Tier Artists. Appreciate the back and forth my friend. Don't see much of this on UA-cam 😂
@@Th3Watch3r no worries. I used to love Meth when I was young. But if you're lucky enough to out grow your ego as you age. You can allow yourself to break the Biigie Tupac Em Jay-z traps. Em & Jay could change the world if they really wanted to.
I'll tell you what, Meth is a top tier Emcee, but Thought is inhuman..
Not on this evidence. Method took it with relative ease except for Thought's first one.
@@s.salazar6364No need to argue opinions, but listen, bro...there's no bigger Method Man fan than myself and he's one of my favorites, but just hear me out. I've always been aware of the Roots music and would listen from time to time, then I started checking out Thought's solo projects and I truly believe the dude is absolutely top 5 greatest of all time, and just above my man Meth. Thought's rhyme schemes are extremely complex, his ability to string together layers of compound syllables and double entendres is incredible and unlike most of I've ever heard. Dude is sadly underrated and deserves much more credit....just my two cents.
@@s.salazar6364 u buggin
Yo, I had the same reaction. Meth did nothing wrong, but this was one of the most clearest examples of great versus alien ever displayed.
@@onie4024 I totally agree with you. Blackthought is a genius. I believe intellects favor him. He's my number one of all time. You can earn a bachelor's degree from his catalogue of songs. You learn so much from what he says. Who knows who Vivaldi is? I mean I had to Google that. When I was 16 and heard his line "student of life that's on the rugged exterior mode" I was transformed. I got 'Student of Life" tatted on me that summer. And then "My shackle of thought tackle you while I'm educating". No comparison bro...
Black Thought is somethin else. Most Underrated, Most Unappreciated
D Les the one them underachievers had underestimated
Only 6.8Mil views? Man, this a 15mil view CLASSIC between two legends, easily! The lyrics spit by Method as the end....FIRE! He came thru with that FUEGO Espanol
I wanna hear Black Thought and NAS on a track, that would be legendary
Black thought is on another level holy shit
It's funny how Meth got absolutely no hate for pulling out his phone for a cypher with Black Thought. It was like:
"Yeah, you should probably do that."
Like it’s understood with no respect loss, method man is a boss but thought makes bosses want to bring their best and anyone who knows or cares totally gets it with no love loss
They used to carry a notebook back in the day whatever came to mind. Using the phone was the same thing.
@@ChrisSullins and then you have a beast like thought.. There are less then a hand full that can spit on that level. Meth handled it as good as 99.98% of mc's can handle being in a freestyle with black thought.
@@ChrisSullins Notebook or phone... yes, doesn't matter where you write your lines. But being a professional also means learning those bars before you spit them... reading from your phone or notebook is kinda lazy... it's not like they wrote those bars minutes before the show starts.
@@VincentFree Right, some cats just got them rhymes in they mind and can call to at any time.
Methodman you'll always be my hero of rhymes I love you man
Black Thought stays just as perfect no matter the situation. He knows where the beat is when he wakes up.
Black thought.... His name alone is hip hop 🔥🔥🔥
Wurd!!!!
Black Thought might’ve opened a new ventricle in my brain
Donald Beasley
Lol!
Ha
Two legends killing it 👏 🙌. Black thought under rated and method man doing what he does well. Love these two
I would love to meet black thought of course Method Man and yours truly sway
Blk thought wit that laid back effortless flow tho
The shit was beautiful
Vince Young yes.. He inspired many artists.. Wale.. Childish Gambino.. N many more.. I love it when black & doom collab
😎cool in the game😎
That was just NASTY and inspiring at the same time. Love those two Legends.
3:06 my boy frodo left middle earth to witness this mad decency
He is witnessing actual lyrical wizards battle :)
I was really wondering if its him. Hes feeling himself so much.
Elija wood living the dream!
Super shoutout to Black Thought for representing Philly in a proper light.
George Dennis ALWAYS 💯💯💯
I've watched this masterpiece dozens of times, but I only just realised that Elijah Wood is in the background of this. Rightfully bopping to it I must add.
"the higher ground waterted down til the fire drown where a precious life is lost you and i are found " black thought thooo 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Method man's as great as he ever was. That word play, damn!
Latch Swaney agreed.
Looking at his phone ruined it a bit
nmessai215 He still wrote those bars-it’s not like he’s reading a rap he didn’t write.
Catherine Comer true but they got on drake like crazy for doing that too. Before the ghost writer accusations
nmessai215 I know. You’re right. It’s just...you KNOW a Mef rhyme when you hear it-I can’t say the same about most rappers. Thought came hard AF...can’t deny that seeing Mef come off the top wouldn’t have been ideal, but it would only be because I’d want to see his personality come through as he spits. Half of my love of Mef is HOW he delivers his rhymes-his gesticulations, etc.

You're just dumb bro.
I love how Black Thought really seems to listen to Method Man and analyze his first verse!
The message there is. Always listen and keep learning. Don't stop honing your craft!
Just thinking about the amount of words flying around Black Thoughts head. 😮
Method Man, that voice and flow is like hot butter.
Method Man And Black Thought, Favorite Lyrical Rap Legends,
Wu Tang And The Roots, Favorite Rap Groups,
From Staten Island 2 Philly, HIP HOP IS 4 THE CHILDREN 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Black thought will leave you with GOOSE BUMPS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing lyricist. I'm not even gonna call him a rapper because that groups with with the trash that exists today. That's just flat out disrespectful.
