It takes a special kind of talent to remain relevant for as much time as he had
Fr he continues to get better🔥
you don't start your solo career 30 years in if u aren't a rare breed of artist 🔥
HE DOES WHAT HE WANTS AND NOT BETTING HIM ON SCRABBLE
@@LordLucario99 The Roots albums are no different then any solo rapper album. Just with the roots band as production.
Some people try to use "he's just now going solo" as a knock.
Correction: as HE STILL IS.
Never, were there four letters more appropriate to wear on a sweater.
bars right here
Agreed
Amen brother!
Ayyyyy
TRUTH.
Best rapper of all time. MC incarnate. Rapped at the most elite level for almost 30 years.
Real talk
@Tony Montana what's your Point Tony?
The Absolute Truth ..
facts
Boy STOP
Perhaps the most underrated rapper ever.
commercially, yeah i’d agree. true Hip Hop heads have him in their Top 10 at minimum.
@@doublehockeystix he's number 1 for me
"When they screamin' “You the greatest that did it,” what’s underrated?"- Black Thought on Dostoyevsky (Stream of Thought vol 1)
Yeah
true. theres people who didnt even know who the roots were until jimmy fallon. sad.
Listen... Black Thought is a rare breed of MCs. He makes evert word count. He means everything he spits on the mic. His flow seems effortless, just like a second nature. The level of skills here is unmatched.
I would like to thank him for his art, he's dedication on staying true to his craft and, above everything else, sharing his wisdom with us.
Certified "Your favorite rappers' favorite rapper" status.
yes
Also he just gets exponentially better as time goes by.....now he's this combination of rakim and krs..... And I don't believe there is a better rapper on this planet than Big Thought.
Amen
Well said!
His bars deserve a relisten or you gonna miss something
Relistened and captions on!!!
Ugh 🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤
literally listened 3 times in a row.
@@koitsme Gotta love this channel 👏🏿
@@marc6344 Bouta check his whole catalog
@@marc6344 couldn't make it thru 1st listen kept reminding. Str8🍌's
I'm from South Africa 🇿🇦 and Black Thought🐐 is one of my favorite rappers of all time🙏🏽
Tariq is sick with bars.
Ditto
Awe Grootman ✊🏾
unparalleled in schemes and atmospheres, verses and energy Thought is professional
His rhymes schemes are clinical.

"Im guilty but justified" is probably one of my favorite lines in a long time
one of many, fire bars
Everyone has their favorite rapper, and there's all sorts of factors in the "G.O.A.T." discussion, but I will just say this: bar for bar, no one is out-rapping Black Thought.
This is so true tho. He might not be the one banging on the clubs, or the one on repeat on my spotify, but there's just no denying or surpassing the sheer talent of this man.
Facts
@@nosferathu258 Trust, Thought is DEFINITELY on repeat on my Spotify...can't get enough of the Legendary Roots Crew! 😁
MF Doom might, but it's two different energies
Eminem will
One of the best lyricists in rap history
His penmanship is that of an author. Every scene is vivid and powerful.
The True Meaning of Rhythm & Peotry 🇿🇦
It’s criminal how commercially underrated this man is. One of the greatest lyricists Alive or dead
@@yancyrichards2045lol so spicy and unnecessary
*Lyrics*
We need each other, we have to have each other for our survival
From the revolutionaries to the conservatives, a black united front
(Uh huh) Is what we're about
Yo, the makin' of the mob, the changin' of the guard
An angel from the Lord in ceremonial garb
The big homie in charge, main culprit at large
Emerged over the odds, the victory is ours
The talented Mr. Trotter, a midnight marauder
If there's blood in the water, no stoppin' the top shotta
I drop bombs, multiple arms like candelabras on a mission
I'm chasing chicken like a Chupacabra, nigga
Salute your father, I'm headed back to Wakanda
After the drama, rappers get medivac'ed to the trauma
To kill a lion separated from the pride
I rule Zion, I am the most hated one alive
A gun was fired, another one expired
I represent the unwanted, undesired
Wash me hands off it all, then raise one and testified
To lyrical manslaughter, I'm guilty but justified, nigga
I started running the streets when I was nine
When, when I started running around at nine
I knew what I was gonna do when I was ten
Trust the vibe when it's the fly sinister
Philly's certified finisher, the prime minister
In God's image the monument, the homage is to
The problem is acknowledgin' how to apply penance for the transgressions
That I've accepted in acquiescence of my own presence
As I inspected my loaded weapon (y'all just don't get it)
So stream it at your own discretion, every answered question
Investment in your own protection
They be like: "Black, well, who knew we'd be receivin' a new you
That's part Zulu and Farrakhan meets Pharaoh Khufu?"
Misinterpret my level of genius and call it cuckoo
But the Swahili meaning of freedom is still uhuru
To the booth guru, I deliver the truth to you
Who got the nerve to act as if this isn't proof to you
That I will mobilize a militia then troop to you?
No tellin' what I got in the system to shoot through you
If it's too brutal, look the other way like I'm bribin' you
But surrender all your valuables as if I'm robbin' you
As I slide, the hassle to the side, like a tassel
The façade of the place I reside is like a castle
I'm the honorable Pensée Noir, my nom de guerre
I'm the czar, the Peking-to-Paris, is my kinda car
I'm the R, I'm the L, I'm the Kane
All correlated, unadulterated power
The king been coronated, wake up
No masquerade, remove the make-up
It's no sleep, but my eyes refuse to stay shut
It's gatekeeper's responsible for this place
But historically, the authorities been morally bankrupt
Enter the executioner, speaking of retribution
I will send shots to Lucifer even to catch the future
Me and the best producers out again, en route again
Airborne audio spores, it's like an allergen, so
In conclusion, I wanna clear the confusion
Any rumors the artist you're currently hearin' is human
The shapeshifter, weightlifter, I hate Hitler
I'm the great victor behind the bars, state prisoner
Damn, man...
Where my dictionary at?
Goddamn! Thanks for the lyrics. What a raw shhh!!!
🔥
The line actually is “I’m chasing chicken like a chupacabra, LISTEN”, he did not say n****
Black Thoughts is an underrated emcee of the highest caliber. He's legit been killing it for years. But everything he drops has a story intertwined with food for thought. The definition of a God tier emcee.
They be like: "Black, well, who knew we'd be receivin' a new you

JEEEEEEEEEEEZUS CHRIST
I know I know I knoooooooow
Brah. I took that back many a time.
Funny my last name is Blackwell
He’s another level genius, I used to think Styles P was the greatest master of ceremonies of all times but I rest my case.
The final boss in the rap game, impeccable flow & lyrics
After you defeat Rick Ross n em, you get to him in the final stage.
@@agbordaniels LoooooL joke
I can't believe anybody can call themselves the best Emcee and this man is still on Earth.
Black Thought is forever the 🐐🔥
This is gonna be my BEST ever colors show of 2020 No doubt,A living legend.

He's the only rapper known to man that can circular breathe while he raps.
@@gaynoradams903 it’s not our fault u haven’t heard of one of the best to ever do it,
U should get into rap to know him

" Historically, the authorities, have been morally bankrupt."
Your Power is mind blowing ! ❤️🙏🏽❤️
I want to take this as a sign that maybe real rap music, rap music that emphasises lyricism, enunciation, being audible, quality production and actual bars is making it's way back into the mainstream.
@Louis Hawkes Like who? Any favs?
@Louis Hawkes listen to outkast
@@CaesarEl-Zein hell yea. atliens

The extremely talented Mr. Trotter delivers another lesson.
Stay silent when class is in session.
UHURU! ✊🏿
I'm just staring at the Beard.Looks Majestic like its holding his power
The way he has stepped back to give the effect of literally being within the music, not above it or drowned out by it, genius!
I don't know what I want more; the hat, the shades, the jumper, the sneakers, the beard or the bars!!!
Most rappers fell off over time, Black Thought just kept getting better and better.
Salutes to one of the greats
He’s truly is the great victor behind the bars!!!
The Swahili meaning of Freedom is still UHURU! 🔥 🔥 ✊🏿✊🏿 🇰🇪🇰🇪
Whoa....I could FEEL every emotion. Man speaks truth to the soul. Keep it up✌🏻
