  • thought is way iller than nas. I rate how a guy can rap live and do a freestyle all the way through without pausing or making the audience fill in verses for them and only thought and a few other can do that, nas cant.

  • The ILLEST! 215 ALLDAY! 

  • Would someone please explain to me why I see a RICK ROSS video in the suggestions? YouTube, what the hell is the matter with you? Get that garbage out of my sight!

  • nas and thought.... easily top 5 ever to do it

  • Kato, 808, and my rhymes: The Green Hornet....dope opening hahaha

  • Cats go on about Nas like he's untouchable & impervious to other brothers who spit! Not me! Rakim's 18th Letter album was superior in many respects, and if you're a real Hip-Hop head you'll agree that Black Thought is much more diverse than Nas - just more witty, dense and lyrically limber!

  • @MrJazzHOP Well I think when it comes to story telling, & taking a concept from a beginning and just killing it with an explosive ending, Nas is probably THE BEST at that. That's his strength & I think at that type of verse-writing, he is #1,but Nas' weakness is his normal verses when he's just going bar-for-bar. Black Thought and many other MC's are better when it comes to that. All the top 10/20 MC's got their strengths and when they're in their prime, they're all untouchable in their own way.

  • I hate when i search for black thought on youtube i only get some tyga shit.. anyone know if anyone have uploaded some of his songs or anything? .. I don't know much about him

  • @hunterdwarf0 he is the lead mc of the roots

  • @Jagspear oh had no idea, never really got into their music. Thanks for the information :)

  • Black Thought=INCREDIBLE!?!

  • fire !

  • Damn I love this

  • black thought vs nas would be the illest battle ever. PERIOD.

  • Comment removed

  • "Langston Hughes mixed with some Stanley Kubrick" this dude is as sharp as he is cultured. I honestly think he's one of the top 5 MC's of all time. I think his ability to stay humble has been one of his greatest qualities, but also whats kept him so underrated.

    SOMEONE PLEASE HOOK ME UP WITH THE LYRICS!

  • Thought is a beast in every way

  • i want to see thought go against nas who would win

  • wow! i miss songs that dont talk about bitches and hoes and money!

  • @rapperOHM naa this can't be off the top, thought is dope off the top but not as dope as this- no one is, this has to be written.

  • ...i think this is OFF THE TOP. my man said "fourth horseman, the fifth wiseman" i think he meant to switch those, either it's off th top or he only had 1 chance to record it and then peaced

  • @rapperOHM Man doesn't have to freestyle, he has decades of rhymes in his bag of tricks to pull out. He can probably freestyle, but why would he when he can kill shit with unreleased shit that he has memorized front to back.

  • legendary

  • Black Thought and Nas are my favorite rappers. Both are lyrical ... both are deep.

  • @polkin56 Yes, his flow has gotta much better

  • Black Thought is a sick lyricist no doubt about it but I still think Nas Is Like is still iller. Both EMCEES are just phenomenal. The entire Roots catalog and Nas' catalog trumps anything on the radio today, PERIOD!

  • @Arealist815 in his prime nas was hands down a top 5 dude but les be real niggas fallen off but black thought is hands down top 10 through out his carreer i mean i think he can hold his own against anyone who else had a track with big pun called super lyrical

  • @69killlluminati69 oh he killed that super lyrical

  • @domestic57 yeah its prolly the only track with big pun that out did pun on his own track

  • @Arealist815 i agree with most of that besides the fact that you said iller...

  • what mixtape is this on???

  • check out my music page just search ppeva and sub and comment

  • yo could you put a link for this song or for the mixtape if it is on one??????????

  • REAL SHIT, I think Thought went harder than Nas on this joint.

    Everything from "Do You Want More" to "Rising Down" was fucking phenomenal (not to mention all the other shit them niggas did with collabs and all that). Black Thought, nasty to begin with, grown so much from that appearence on Punisher's "Super Lyrical" to what he is today, he maybe the greatest rapper on the planet. Plus he from PHILLY !!

    Search Eddie Pesos "North of Death" Puerto Rock kid from Philly for that real hip hop.

  • philly all day, broad street north philly thats how we do it.

  • 3 people listen Justin Bieber !!!

  • the 3 dislikes must have gotten their asses kicked when soulja boy found out they were listening to this. Man who would dislike this? this is AWESOME!!

  • AZ, Black Thought, Styles P, Rah Digga, Inspectah Deck, Pharoah Monch should form a group called "The Undaratted". Copy if you agree with me!

  • @TheDVoted why would Deck wanna join a different group.. he's staying wu tang for life

  • Black thought the true GOAT

  • Classic beat, classic rappin...absolutely lovin it

  • Comment removed

  • im gonna upload something i did with this beat in the next two days

    HANDS DOWN TRUE RAP IN PURE ESSENCE

  • @TLASHEY

    THIS SONG ONE OF MY FAVORITES OF ALLTIME

  • yo checkk me out or something.

  • Anyone know where i can download?

  • Black Thought is one of the ILLEST mc's!

  • Although the original is untouchable ... Thought did this beat justice right here. Probably the best I've heard over this beat

  • "...Langston Hughes mixed with some Stanley kubrick sh---..."

    What?!

    Tariq BLACK THOUGHT Trotter is the ILLEST.

  • great song, great lyrics clearly off the dome, but i gotta strain to hear the lyrics. the person at the mixboard blows

  • Him and Em

  • Him and Eminem

  • Noone in the WORLD. The UNIVERSE. Could touch this track like Nas did. And I'm not on no Nas dick rider shit. Shit is just impossible. But thought came damn close..still the most underrated rapper in the game..

  • @MrBlackAl no AZ is the most underrated do your homework

  • @killlilwayne I think a question of the most underrated is a matter of preference..and in that case, thought is still that nigga to me.

  • BLACK THOUGHT MY DUDE!!! REAL HIP HOP HEADS STAND THE F*cK UP YA DIG!! yo check this channel out nef2384

  • how is this even a freestyle my Godddd??? lol. Black Thought & Method Man are in the top 10 freestylers everrr

  • most underrated rapper of the last 5 years.

  • Chino XL

  • where can i find black thought songs?

    not from the roots (love em)

  • @YoungJordanAI3

    I don't really like him much?

  • almost sounds like common!anyone agree?

  • great lyrics as always, i just wished he turned his vocals up on this 1

  • he's so articulate with his lyrics, he truly is a powerful lyricist. it shows he is not just some rapper, but he is intelligent as well!

  • and i'm gonna say this as easy as i can....BLACK THOUGHT IS THE BEST MC IN THE GAME!!!!!

  • to the guy who said T.I. is pretty good and can rap fast,he's pretty wack when you compare him to a real mc like black thought.t.i. can't hang with black thought on his best days.

  • its a shame some ill shit like this only  has 31,194 views as i listen rite now.

    this the best hip hop band to be able to also TAKE STAGE n' shut it down. Not to mention they have this dude Black, one of the smoothest lyrcists to hit the game in the last decade, with the illest black drummer yet

  • this is sickk.....download link?

  • This dude is "tears in the eyes" good. I know that sounds like some half-a-fag ass shit, but I'm serious. Thought is lyrically perfect in every way...this shit makes you wanna shed a tear. (pause) <---for my Boondocks fans.

  • real talk black thought over eminem and he gave it to em in the cypher too

  • Black Thought killed dis beat!!

  • strictly one of the illest emcees of all time

  • awesome. i love this album, the best of the roots. j period nigga

  • this guy is dope but not the shiet its all opinion anyways deuces

  • No Comment!!!! Thought handled that!!!!

  • Yea thought's pretty sweet. Look up x- ecutioner style, it's pretty good.

  • Possibly the best delivery in hip-hop history and one of the best flows, maybe second best flow behind AZ.

  • Nas is the greatest. Thought is incredible, roots are amazing...nas is like....the best tho

  • i Love the Roots. Thought is incredible.

    Nas, however... Is the greatest emcee alive.

  • to 0194D, like ed lover says,"come on son?"T.I.can't fuck with black thought at all.thats like kobe playing someone in a wheelchair 1on1:not fair yo.T.I. can't freestyle and that shows your true skills yo.and xbginx black thought would KILL nas & az both.but i like them both.

  • @devman1313

    Yeah dude, I've started to like these dudes too.

    Mos Def

    Talib Kweli

    Black Thought,

    My new 3 Favorite artists, I wish I had known about them earlier. But its all good, I'm 16 and I'm proud to know hiphop artist who actually stand for something like Black Thought.

  • that was cool. any one notice at the end they mixed in the clones instrumental with the nas is like?

  • I'm that nice son / F*ck Michaelangelo I'm Micheal Eric Dyson/ Slicing like em a Vikine - dope shit

  • dude's nice but he aint better than nas or AZ

    definitely better than jayz lol

  • @xbginx Don't you know about his legacy and all of his albums and verses he did with The Roots? BT is like a god in this rap shit man. Nas was and is one of the greatest lyricists ever and he had a much bigger impact on the rap game than Thought has, but seriously if you are being honest you can't say Nas is better than Black Thought. Black Thought is on the throne of best lyricist alive only Pun might have been better.

  • so underrated ....

  • Dayam. Flows, on the beat. This is real REAL hip hop son. Stop listening to the sh*t you listening to.

  • will do lilruff, and cronicjoint  i agree completely but muthfuckas. sounds like moth fuckers i mean it works but shit HAHA

  • I need lyrics bad

  • good lookin kid

  • philhouse64: get the j period best of the roots mixtape, its on there the whole jawn is dope, also, peep the new tony touch freestyles with black thought from the dilla tribute show the other night, newest black thought out, peace.

  • yo where can i download this shit i cant find it anywhere

  • i saw this shit, before where they put solja boy, and gucci mane, on the spot, and nither one of them could freestyle for shit, soula boy choked and the few words he did say were shit hes said in his songs, and gucci was just as bad, so anybody who thinks either one are good at rapping, is stupid, these muthfuckas out now suck, the only thing that keeps them famous is good beats, and the gangsta aura oh wow gucci shot a nigga tryin ta k=jack his shit, i would have to, that don't make u a gangsta

  • no doubt, besides anyone who is stupid enough to think those guys can rap based on their music is so dumb they don't even deserve an opinion on the subject.

  • better then nasss did :D

  • Liar! I just caught u in a lie! you are not black thought! How wrong of u nigga

  • im saying that I did better then nas thanks for the comment

  • @11940ful Why would even think he was Black Thought?

  • Lol, Idk i heard 50 cent sometimes go to youtube and checks out the comments on his video,so i thought that maybe black thought was one of them. Iknow it's silly but after a while i doubted... Lol

  • you are in your best as an mc when other peope cant copy your style even if they wanted to. No one can excecute blacks philly style like he does, ever. You can reproduce people like soulja boy or lil wayne in your bedroom with a cheap ass computer with low level software. If you keep it real you get to this level, you cant reproduce someones soul

  • @Werd2thaWyze99 damn boy, one of the best comments/statements that can be made. I have tried to make this point many times to my friends but couldnt ever get it out clear and concisely.

    this is one of the most important things to me now in appreciating an emcee.

    for this i am always giving Breezly Brewin, (older) Planet Asia, Sadat X, Scaramanga, j-live and others mad props. Their styles are copyrighted by their souls and no one can fuck with it

  • @Werd2thaWyze99 TRUE THAT.

  • @Werd2thaWyze99

    you not lying, you can always mimic a gimmick but the real will forever remain!!

  • @Werd2thaWyze99 That is the best statement I ever heard about hip hop, can I quote on my Best MC of all time Tournament bracket? Seriously, if you don't reply I'm gonna use it anyway.

  • @theBLACKRENAISSANCE go for it dude!

  • @Werd2thaWyze99 I'm glad you replied, because I would have felt bad stealing it. Send me an email at blackrenaissancepublishing@gma­il.com and I'll send the Tournament to you when I'm done, I think I'm gonna make a blog or send it via email to just a small list-serve, depending on how in depth I make it. I think I made one of the best, most fair, least bias lists ever, and this stuff is hard to do, like letting your own favorites lose to people you don't like, that is challenging.

  • @Werd2thaWyze99 I DIG EVERYTHING YOU SAID AND AGREE WITH EVERYTHING,BUT YOU SAYING THAT BLACK HAD A PHILLY STYLE. BLACK HAS PHILLY SWAG NOT A PHILLY STYLE OF RAPPING. PHILLY CATS HAVE NO ONE WAY OF RAPPING OR TWO WAYS FOR THAT MATTER. EVERYBODY HAS THEIR OWN OR SHOULD I SAY CREATED WAY OF RAPPING,BUT THE SWAGGER IS SIMULAR. JAY Z SEEN IT AND BUILT A WHOLE LABEL AROUND PHILLY CATS AND THEIR SWAG AND STOLE A LITTLE FROM EVERY ARTIST THE WHOLE LABEL WAS FROM PHILLY

  • @Werd2thaWyze99 those guys might have swagger like they say, but swagger is shit compared to talent!

  • philly go hard son

  • he killed it but nas is like better

  • Real recognize Real... Lyrical props all day... Save that melancholy commercialized bullsh*t for one dem britanny spears kids... idiots

  • cameo afro...u sound like one of soulja boys weak ass dickriders rite now.....soulja boy cant even rap much less freestyle off the top dat shyt sound real dumb...i hope u not serious dats like sayin gucci would tear apart wale or mf doom or black thought.....fuckn idiot

  • why the 52nd and market streetsigns? Westphilly?

    Thought he repped south Philly hardd.

    NIIIICE though

  • if i thought for a moment you were being serious i'd be forced to put a hip hop fit out on you lmao lol PAUSE!!!

  • What!!!!!! he's not in Black Thought league,buddy try the fresh prince or kid-n-play.

  • @TheCameoAfro1

    AHAHAHAHAHAAAA

    I cant even take that comment seriously.

  • @TheCameoAfro1 u gotta be like ten yrs old....im not even gonna look at your profile cuz if it say that u are older than that then u gotta be one stupid motherf^*()(!!!!! Real Talk

  • you really believe that?

  • @angeloloving yep. Thought sicker than most no disagreement there..............not nas. Compare the tow if you have the time. I say no!

  • its sick, but Nas is like half man half amazing.. im sorry hah

  • nice mix man.

  • two complete diff style

    its apples and oranges man..just on the same plate

    ups to blackthought AND nas

  • I totally agree with you

  • vocals arent loud enough. i wanna hear thought

  • black thought is mad underrated but nas is the man no doubt big roots fan though

  • i like this more than nas' version

  • Nas has some of the best lyrics ever, but his flow isn't at the level of Black Thought.

  • Dude, you got that one backwards and that's coming from a Roots fan. Thought sick as hell though!

  • man with 6 thumbs down u better change ur black thought! nas is a crazy mc.

  • one of the biggest roots fans out there.. this joint is on the j period best of the roots mixtape. O-fficial. check it out. i'm an old, straight east coast head.. black thought is the illest mc out there, off the top or written.. can't deny his skills. he's got lyrics for days and can account for each one of them.

  • Damn, if this is off the head, I don't know who can beat this dude.

  • eminem

  • one of the best freestylers...black thought and super nat

  • thought is definately the best, the one that stands alone, ILLEST EVER

  • black thoughtt and the roots are fukin amazingg

    ther linezz are amazingg and creative and r soooo underatedd

  • i'm goona say it,BLACK THOUGHT IS THE BEST MC TODAY,LAST YEAR,5 YEARS AGO,10 YEARS AGO.he's the best i'll put him up against all these wack rappers and nice rappers thats out now.yes i mean jay-z,nas,common who i love.lil wayne,T.I.,young jeezy who are the worst rappers out. anyday thought would destroy them.yes i said it.i've been listening to this music since 79 and i'm still feeling it as long as they can bring the lyrics all day on a track.real hiphop lives in this 40 year old nigga.

  • THANK YOU. finally hearing what i hear. Black thought would murder anyone on the mic. anyone.

  • plus... Big L would murder this cat on the mic

  • are you serious right now...really ?

  • how is he overrated he had 2 really good albums and had some of the best punchlines

  • Comment removed

  • good one... stupid ass.

  • I'm joking man. I retract my statement.

  • you buggin...not too many niggas dead or alive can fuck with L's old material

  • big l was NICE and it would be a GREAT battle, but NO ONE would murder thought. it'd be CLOSE.

  • @southjerseysfinest ...i cosign 1hundred....Black is a beast!!!!

  • @southjerseysfinest

    T.I.??? Nah bruh, T.I. has actually grown as an artist in the years, and he is alright with his lyrics, he is alot better now, I glad he step up his vocab too. But T.I. is not that bad, I like Jeezy he is alrite, but I can understand why you said him, I kind of agree with you about jeezy though. There are alot worst than T.I. though, rick ross, gucci, oj, waka flocka, travis proter, roscoe dash, nicki minaj, lil twista, lil chuckie, the lists goes on.

  • @southjerseysfinest So true he is like the only emcee that has NEVER let me town, even cats like nas and that have let me down but this dude is just consistently killin it!

  • @southjerseysfinest t.i. is actually pretty good. he can rap mad fast with a flow.

  • @southjerseysfinest face it fam.. most cats under 30 have NO CONCEPT of what this is all about...too busy trying to Dons, Gangstas, and Ballers..once they gain knowledge of self....they'll always be out there tommin' for dollars..

  • @southjerseysfinest Word to SJF, this 41 year nubian agrees with you. Even hungry unsigned cats don't want none of Tariq.

  • I freestyle heer and there but i think blackk thought is a grezzy freestlyerr iff u gett hiz lyrics. For some reason black, the rest of the roots gang, Big L and otha old skool rapperz are better thann the new onez.

  • true that yo

  • The Best Ever!!!!!!

  • black thought rapping over the message watch?v=eXEqklUX4zE

  • Damn crazy, i cant believe that this is actually a freestyle hah

  • The best MC. Lyrics, flow, vocal timbre. Everything.

  • one of the sickest lyricist ever...this man is so underrated...one of my favs

  • damn, i wish i could freestyle 1/4 as good as black thought can.

  • if you rap dawg just keep doin it you know if you walkin somewhere or you got some time to yaself just start freestylin you just get better and better it's gotta become a thing of like almost muscle memory you know trust me just practice a lot you'll be just as hot

  • thanks, that means a lot. u don't even know me and u believe i can do great shit. thanks

  • n/p dawg if its good then its good you know? just dont settle, dont end up like these fuckin whack ass souljia boi pussy muthafuckas man that aint hip hop man. It only takes one ma dude, be somethin make a difference you know? be the difference you want to see. Shit save hip hop from this hell its in, with all the bullshit ass rappers it has to deal with now man.
