TANKO@WORK / BLACK THOUGHT FROM THE ROOTS

[AlmiranteLegendario]

breathfuckingtaking

[Nonchalant1994]

Most underrated rapper of all time. Fuck you if you disagree.

[ThEsHizNit756]

Sick ass beat

[zevlovex222]

fuckin SICK FLOW !!!! SICK FLOW !!! SICK SICK SICK SICK !!!!!

this is an example of how an MC should rap

[syer5437]

one day I'm gonna get it on black thought. the highly exaltation. I keep my shit fresh from peachtree to crab apple.

[latonyaelite]

I LOVE THIS MAN! #thatisall :)

[supersnus4985]

2 takes gAY

[chaosinorderrr]

Black Thought is mad underrated.

[bc146]

No other rappers are to be mentioned on this thread, unless it is to say that Black Thought is better than them. Man Law

[bc146]

how about Thought killin that raekwon track masters of our fate. CRAZY

[young1s4u4]

Look!! This is one of the best jamz that I've heard in recent memory, Thought is ALL OF THAT and more...this brother is BADDDDDD!!!!! People need to hear this man, before they say who's REALLY BADDDDD!

[kingdavey16]

@young1s4u4 That's the truth!!!

[foxnews63]

smooth..

[k2stypoint]

I wish Thought would make 1 mixtape over popular beats or even classics just so i could have something to listen to every day....no disrespect to the mighty legendary roots crew, but I feel like Thought doesnt spazz out half as much as he is capable of on their collabrative songs.

[thamidwestmob]

@k2stypoint You hit the nail on the head. I seriously think about this almost daily. Just a mixtape or something. If he had some top tier production and a whole album to work with? Wow. If I had my way it'd be Thought and Dilla all day!!

[cdspence2010]

Sampling the beatles too. Black thought and the beatles, so good.

[BXMammal]

He killed it.Top 5 No doubt. His flow is banannas. My favorites are him Beanie Sigel Billy Danze from MOP, Ransom and Styles P . Shout out to my girl Jean Grae too. She's better than 99% of male rapppers.

[champanddylanstop10]

I normally say people are entitled to there opinions but the two morons who dislikes this shit need a lesson in rap and music in general. This brotha is and always will be one of if no the rawest brotha around!

[young1s4u4]

@champanddylanstop10

WORDDDDD! They don't know shit for real!!! Thought is perhaps the most under-rated rapper of all time!!!

[Emilianodan]

fa paura...che cazzo di stile

[gambit1357]

This Brotha is a BEAST!!

[kafilkaphish]

black thoughts the best mc in the game!say word

[DeFiNiTioNoFiLLmaTiC]

WWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO

fire, exactly what i expect from thought.

[zevlovex222]

LADIES AND GENTLEMAN THIS IS FLOW !!!

[W3stm0rel4nd]

This brother is the University of Pennsylvania... take these fools to school, Tariq.

[Luke2332]

goddamn this is so nastyyyy

[RealSupervillain]

I think I see lines crossed out.

I love that. It's so interesting to get that rare glimpse of how any MC creates his lyrics.

[ghetto2ice]

the greatest alive!!

[tlofee]

I liked this version of "Thought at Work" rather than the version that ended up on the album.I wonder why they didn't put this version on there?Nonetheless dope cut.

[jgiii123]

ill

[Volvagias]

Its a sad situation that somebody like Lil Wayne gets to keep the label of Best Rapper Alive when Black proves every single track that that is not the case.The Bad Lieutenant is greatest emcee to grace the earth with his presence

[BraunMachine05]

Thought is ALWAYS awesome at freestyling, but, honestly, Eminem & Mos Def are tied with him, in a freestyle, they could easily destroy these new age 'rappers' like Wayne, Kanye, etc.

listen to Thought on the BET Cyphers w/Em & Def= INCREDIBLE!!

[KVSoriginal]

@BraunMachine05 Kayne is much better than you give him credit for because he had one shitty autotune album which he only made because he was very vunerable due to his mothers recent death, but every other one of his albums is amazing. Obviously lil wayne is shit.

[bc146]

if anyone really likes black thought look up the roots- no alibi. 2nd verse is incredible. 3rd is black thought too. the first is malik b who used to be in the roots. shit is insane!!!

[ThinkFE]

#1 Mc Straight up!

[russ33c]

cant find any lyrics 4 this...sigh

[rdiaz921]

Is he married? g/f?

He's so professional that you can't find out anything about his personal life.

Talented and Intelligent. And he's got heart.

[alexlr69]

SEXY!!!!!!!!

[was2wasnot]

black thought is the absolute most professional mc. ever. it's his job to teach how to do it. right.

[KanOfFunkyFury]

huh. the first verse is on bk-ones album. on the song philly boy

[bc146]

he is ungodly nice.....holy shit

[rightknowledgeman]

for months ive been stuck on a top 4 list,any order,B.I.G,Ra,Slick,Mel. hearin this i got my top 5. never heard this guy misrepresent.

[tiger62x]

ichiban- best, first, number one, a game, a round, a bout

[behtashbg]

i used to think u couldnt seperate any mc/rapper from the rest and say he is best, nas, tupac, biggie, jayz, guru, rakim, big pun, andre 3k, common, talib, mos def (to name most, there are so many others) but the order is always debated, especially at the top

i didnt think there was a jordan of rap, then i heard all of thoughts music he is the best

he's the best right now, he was the best when he first started, he was the best all the time in between

finally gettin some props needs way more

[shortys912002]

AMEN TO THAT brotha. I COMPLETELY agree with you man.

[vatraljski]

True,but its good like that.Hes underground,need to stay that way...Take the respect,fuck the money rap bling acting....

[kudabeen]

The funny thing is he still gets the money...They have been around so long and they tour non-stop. Tour money is WAYYY better than album sale money for artist and Riq and Amir stay grinding...

[kudabeen]

Can't agree more! Thought is the most consistent widely known undercover MC. He does his numbers and just blends in...

Rhyme for Rhyme I can't think of another MC that can match up...

[BEATSbyV]

@behtashbg

u will love this if never heard... search the youtube for it!

Live From the DJ Stretch Armstrong Show: Common Sense, Pharoah Monch, Absolute & Black Thought

[muggledon1]

@behtashbg black thought big pun and nas are the most lyrical, then comes cats like the wu-tang b.i.g.eminem. you could definately argue that thought might be the nicest though. definately consistent from start to finish. but so was pun.

[Minordd3]

Yup! He rapped that right! Cause this is...

MY FAVORITE SONG!!

SOON AS THEY THROW IT ON

I GET MY DANCE ON!!!

[Rychus36]

coldest nigga to ever roc a mic

[YungTriff]

This dude Cardio is amazing

[jimikasa]

pure chocolate baby!!

[FragileLikeCastle]

FUCK! thought is the bomb.

[Screwtape207]

1 take bitch

[jimikasa]

1:40, they've cut it. i thought it was one take aswell first time i watched it.

[bc146]

@Screwtape207 it cuts in the middle right after the courus

[champanddylanstop10]

@Screwtape207

that wasnt one take..

[KVSoriginal]

@Screwtape207 Two actually, but whatever nobody has to notice :)

[Chhaz215]

Shit Growin Up In Philly Was The Shit, Philly DJ's & Emcee's Are Nice. Shit All Our Emcees Are Criminals Tho

[82TheGodOfWar]

Yea I Grew up listening to philly emcees, dj's. LIving in Del. but yo Cosmic Kev is my dude.

[AnkhTrinity]

i am calling out Black Thought in a lyrical Challenge. im so serious. yo Tariq if your reading this or any of your people , i wanna challenge you to a track battle, peace (and im going to be foreal, you are hands down my favorite emcee, this is why i MUST battle you ,to test my ability)peace KIng -Ankh Trinity

[namkooc]

black thought is one of the best of all time and you want to battle him? good luck

[foooooooooker]

he would eat u up and spit u out , he is one of the best mc;s of all time son!

[jkn04]

Riq is also my favourite MC but on the real, this is would be insulting to the man. he is a god and u cannot challenge a god

[tealightcandles]

You pronounce the name Tariq.

Any ?uestions?

[KashAkaTwo45s]

Oh my god Black Thought rips another track which isn't surprising! lol! for real I've never heard this man spit a wack verse ever if he has somebody please point it out!

[genesis73]

me neither

[rametep100]

I felt he could have came harder on super lyrical.

[authentic76]

this cat's flow is dumb nice!

[yucomny]

What's TANKO?

[2NDTariq]

the eachebond, check it out yall

[tiger62x]

ichiban - best, first, number one, a game, a round, a bout

[flow142]

Fuck all these other rap clowns, Black Thought is hands down the best ever!

[truelements87]

Thought never spit anything wack...ever

[intellect85]

black thought is the sickest on the mic hands down! i like him & nas but im startin 2 think thought will eat nas food!

[OneNastyNupe]

Intellect you are right

[Akinwale1]

Far too right, Nas on Illmatic comes close, but don't burn the flames, like Thought, thought is just hard all day but to be frank the roots had one bad album, Phrenology, there only bad one though! Too date in my opinion

[grenluvv]

YEAHHHH!!!!! Great Up. Thanks

[heyhey20202020]

ichiban?? how come black thought speakin japanese?

[stefdelev]

Haha, they're makin songs in Japan right now.

[xero133]

[originalnick22]

Man, Black Thought got that semi-automatic flow. It just hits in any and every direction. The flow is incredible. Bless.

[Tw33zyfbaby]

STAMP! RAPPIN ASS NIGGA

[scottcyffka]

[genesis73]

[mikemass84]

His breath control is amazing...

Blessed & practice...

[xINFAMOUSv8x]

sick fuckin flow, good hook.

[infinitysubs]

one word...nasty!

[vkgroup3]

I dont think he's underrated, I have never heard anyone say anything bad about him..I just think uts coz he's not as main stream as faggots like soulja boy/lil wayne etc...

roots for life!

[NrgCwalk]

Black Thoughts, the most underrated rapper ever! He's def. on my top 5!

[mashakira]

Thought is the shit!!!!

[kwijibo2385]

"I get around, get above and beyond/

I get back when them setbacks rubbing me wrong/

N***as mugging me wrong and I know I would be wrong/

If I just clapped until that motherfucker be gone" Just...wow.

[NICKMAN112253]

[heyhey20202020]

RIP PAC & BIG

[gemskam]

killed it.... black thought destroys every track consistant with the lyricism!!

[nomatic99]

all he has to say " think faster than a bullet flyin outta of a nine" wow only a legend

[robdizal]

This dude gotta be the best! Neva redundant, lyrics neva predictable, can rhyme and "make sense" on any subject....if he aint the best mc then he needs to be honored for one of the best poets of our generation. "they tell me i'm winning the race i'm not even trying"

can't be compared with weezy, jay, rick ross, or any of the "simple" minds in rap today

[LyricBlazah]

I gotta agree, robdizal. the man is nice.
