Black Thought is hip hop
His flow is decent. Do you know Harry Mack?
Hes underrated because he didnt sell out.
Black thought an actual rapper
He might have the same issue as me. Capable of freestyling 24/7 & write great lyrics but writing hooks and that format of songwriting is just so hard to get into.
@@lsdiesel8025 if you’ve listen to the roots you know that he has no problem writing hooks and song
@@GrimeDiesel
It's like that, uh, and it sounds so nice
Hip-hop - you the love of my life
I'm 'bout to take it to the.. to the.. to the.. to the.. to the.. to the..
To the.. to the.. to the.. to the.. check it out
Yo, what? And it sounds so nice
Hip-hop - you the love of my life
most underrated mc off all time
Underrated? He's the only MC who is on network television every night, right?
the Legend
Mos def is as well
Frfr I’m late af
@@brainsplosion3000yeah but you don’t see him in top 10s or getting play really
THIS IS A REAL FREESTYLE
Black thought is a lyrical beast
he aint just underrated, hes a fucking god
Word .
That conscious flow is untouchable
Now this is the real definition of started from the bottom.
Going from freestyling in a dirty old ally in South Philly.
To being the most famous rap group of all time.
LEGENDS.
+MyName Jeff And Questlove's drum kit was pretty small too
this alley is in north philly
hope st just above girard. doesnt look like this anymore haha
Was gonna comment same thing
this is the definition of a hip hop freestyle : off the top, beatbox, black and white, outside on the street
I've probably seen this video a thousand times. But every time I watch it I'm still blown the fuck away by his raw talent. One of the greatest MCs to ever pick up a mic.
I like it, call me Mantissss!
Do you know Harry Mack?
Aside from displaying a flow that is torrential, the dude proceeds to craft lines based on random cues from his friend (blue, peach, can, trash).
Now that is next-level shit.
TheRealFalconFoxx By the way, his "friend" is ?uestlove, one of the realest
Scott Crocker I know man. Big fan of The Roots :D
I love how Quest knows how good Black Thought is so he purposely starts throwing out words, to show everyone watching how great he is.
Quest has basically been Thought’s biggest fan since they met as teenagers
How does this not have a million views???
I had this On The Go video & this was the most rewinded part of the tape becuz I loved that no one in hip hop rhymed like Black Thought.
WTFFFFFFFF IS THISSSSSSS LEVELLLLLLLLL!
Misak Kalaycioglu over 9000!!!
My head exploded when I first saw this years ago
Anyone else think this freestyle went on for like 47 days lol?
Black Thought uBeastu
the greatest......the most underrated MC of hip-hop history.
Black Thought kills it on illadelph halflife. You don't get quality like that anymore.

For real, they don't know about that Respond React, That No Alibi.
+bputubebp Episodes verse one greatest verse of all time, no question
"CAN" "BAM! yo what did you say? (CAN!) I didn't hear you my man, oh yes there ya go, you said the can!"
Dude can keep it going without even hearing the actual word
Discovered this video when I was just a kid. 22 now and still watch this video with my jaw dropped. Ridiculously underrated
One of the BEST to do it. Period.
#TrueMc
+tech4156 I feel you!
"Peach! Peach, yo I am the kid who got the speech that you can't impeach because I am not a niche"
😀 I had the VHS back in the day! I remember the freestyle as if was performed yesterday.
fuckin next level shit
But how's this next level when it happened so long ago? I agree we've regressed.
the picture even got color from the impressive skills
The best to ever do it
I remember seeing this a long time ago. Black Thought is one of the best to do it
i`m so glad this is recorded for all eternity and Infinity, this is true hip-hop! Now in Translated in Dutch: Ik ben oprecht blij dat dit is vastgelegd voor de eeuwigheid, dit is de ware essentie van hip-hop! One love!
I have just found this.. I nearly cried.. been a Barzilla since the beginning.. still murdering ish now.. jeez
how can someone even rap that well? it's crazy
The fact that he flowed so effortlessly even when he fumbled on can speaks volumes to his skill.
One of my favorite lyricists & rappers 🙏👑❤️ respect
Forever a fan
Roots for life!!!
Maybe the best emcee ever. REAL freestyling.
so natural. for real, one of the greatest.
This is a Top 10 Hip Hop Relic.
Sick, nuff said
word. he's been on my top ten for the last 15. real recognize real!!!
this is such a true, raw and feelgood clip.
so underrated!
Damn, glad I ran into this. The roots go hard.
Spazzed out when he said trash
This the realiest video on the internet
Needed this inspiration so much right now. I just leveled up. You’ll see.
GREAT!
Yuhh I love doing wordplay, freestyle games and exercises make you so much better
wow..look how far they've come. inspiring.
Thought will always be on my top 10!
that sounded dope!
this is hip hop, nuff said..
i have to hear this another 5 times.
NICE!!!
The Roots took us back to the roots right here. One of the illest MC's to ever bless a mic, no doubt. Black Thought never gets enough props. He's been nice since day one, never fell off, and never sold out. Much love and respect from BK to Philly!
It had to stop once it was about to drop me from my chair v.v Black Thought is very overlooked . .
The Young Philly Prophet ... before the world was blessed with his lessons...
