Black Thought - Conception feat. Reek Ruffin (Official Music Video) 

I'm honoured to be living in the age of Black Thought....... 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽💯🔥💯🔥💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥✊🏾✌🏾

Black thought is so good he had me literally creating a Gmail account just to connect on youtube and be able to comment to say how good is this ...

Black thought is the best MC in the game

Most underrated Mc of all time

Now this what music supposed to sound like mayn. This sounds like what the Gods listen too

Black Gaye or Marvin Thought. 🔥 🔥

Big bro the hardest out of Philadelphia for sure.

Give up for Black thought greatest of all time

Hip Hop......as it should be. Has returned. Thank you.

I was pissed at the low amount of views until i realized...not everyone deserves to hear this masterpiece. Thank YOU Black Thought

For those who dont know but reek ruffin is black thought singing the hook and back rounds

I know this only been out 4 days, but this video deserves a million views by now. 33k is a slap in the face for this great piece of art!

He keeps HipHop alive no matter how many times the Reaper tries his hand!

just shameful that this masterpiece doesn't even have half a million views, but garbage songs have hundreds of millions of views,,,,,,,,

🤔TOP TIERED FROM DAY ONE !!! AND PLAYLIST FOR LIFETIME !!!😉👍

Biggest fan from Nigeria, the 🐐!

Best use of a Marvin Gaye sample since Eric Sermon's Music. From Do You Want More and illadelphhalflife in undergrad to Streams of Thought as a man of a certain age. Black Thought has provided soundtracks to pivotal moments in my life. Thank you sir!

Black Thought just stepped in my Top Five...mean concept...mean video...mean sample...mean lyrical talent

"Fractured the laws of attraction"...so many 1liners in this beautiful song!!

This man is the truest definition of longevity.

I’ve been listening to hip hop since ‘79 and I’ve enjoyed the ride thus far. I’ve heard many emcees from coast to coast, the dirty south, Midwest, Miami Bass, etc. I have the music collection to prove it. But the Talented Mr. Trotter in my book is head and shoulders above all. Excluding no one. Like Joe Budden said on his podcast, BT is an alien. I’m from a city outside of Philly and I remember vividly Black Thought in freestyles, battles, and cyphers. His scholarly response to social illness, politics and the state of hip hop is extraordinary and what’s amazing is his progression from album to album. Don’t let the Jimmy Fallon shit fool you. Hip Hop’s Clark Kent is a Superhero with lyricism, substance, diction, flavor, power and poise. Tariq Trotter will dig in your favorite emcees ass like a colonoscopy. Like EST said “Believe Dat.”

Delicious to the Core of my Soul!

Black Thought One Of Philly's Best.

From the hot 97 freestyle to each Streams of Thought release, Black Thought continues to kill it

Glad real music is still being made

Black Thought continues to amaze me. Very underrated.

BLACK THOUGHT 🔥 IS THE UNDERATTED & LEGENDARY RAPPERS !

GOATNESS! Deserves millions of views.

This is sophisticated lyricism at its finest. And the vocals on this brother are unreal. Love this part, "once again to the well I went, while the soul man screamed bloody hell I vent, Im trynna to decode the meaning of the spell im in." DEEP

Thank you Black Thought for the Marvin Gaye vibes, living legends never die!

Black Thought is the truth! My favorite lyricist!! Followed by Mos Def...Talib Kweli...Kendrick Lamar..

has old school hip hop returned? there is a God!

South Philly's Finest...Mr. Trotter you continue to impress us... ONE LOVE HOMIE!

What in the Marvin G, sexy Rootness is this?! 😅❤ You go, King.

I have never heard a black thought song that I can't listen to at anytime of the day, thought keep schooling us all about real hip hop, the roots forever

Hip Hop ain't dead, B. 💯

Black thought - your favorite rappers favorite rapper

If you turn your mind off of anything else in the room, but on your headphones, and really listen and let yourself sink into the visuals of this beautiful piece of art, it will blow you away. I started to choke up and cry watching this. Black Thought is a living legend. I'm from the Philly area so I've been listening to him and The Roots for a long time now. I'm talking cheap ass shows at The Electric Factory. This is what music is supposed to do. Stir up emotions and open your mind. Take you to another place and refresh your mind. Thank you Mr. Trotter. At a time when the hip hop landscape is over run with Jokers, you are our Batman.

After watching this 2 things came to mind. 1. I'm happy to be black. 2. Black people are the most beautiful people on the planet. Thanks black thought.

He can sing too?! Just isn’t fair.

SHES STILL ALIVE !!!!!!! LONG LIVE HIPHOP ....IF THOUGHT NOT IN UR TOP 5 U MUST B A MIGO FAN

Bro I wish someone worthy enough would release an album dedicated to telling people how good he is , and what would really break banks is if the album goes platinum. People would never talk shit about black ever again .and the name of the album would be "stories of black "

This year i met the woman of my dreams... And man this song has me feeling some type of way. I cry everytime i watch this video with no shame at all, this is life-changing music. Thank you Black Thought, thank you so much.

Deserves 1 billion views

Just TEARZ!!!!. how Devil-damned this here cut is!!!

Reek Ruffin is the alter ego for Black Thought. One and same person. He can sing and rap!

This man is a legend y'all, this is what 40 years of writing raps sounds like👏👏 🔥🔥

Can we give props to the beautiful dark skinned brothers and sisters in the video. We need more of these images of our people represented. No disrespect to light skinned people. Just showing love where it's due.

Black Thought 🙌🔥🙌

2 years later were still here ❤

This is such a jam gaddamn 🔥

Black love just looks feels amazing nothing like it true black love

TARIQ TROTTER + DAVID RUFFIN = REEK RUFFIN...aka BLACK THOUGHT (exquisitely sharp!!!!)

Greatness personified

Woah didn't expect a video to drop. Good look!

Black Love..... It will be alright...We are hurting but.....it will be alright..... Black Thought....feeling you my Brother......hmmmm

I don't care what anybody says, but this is my favorite song of the year. Thanks you almighty Black Thought for this track.

Soul is the Only Way to make timeless music

This song is too damn amazing. Paired with these visuals, it just hits me right in the feelings. Thank you Thought 🙏🙏

"Focus on a more passionate plane Estimate a more accurate frame Of time, a frame of mind attached to the sane No conception's immaculate, man"💥🔥🔥

BLACK THOUGHT will forever remain relevant.

Feelings of Marvin all over this tune...Love it brother...SHINE ! ! !

This jam feels like summer...in the middle of winter

Been a fan of The Roots esp., Black Thought since 1995 ❗ Peace to the Gods...

Real hip hop!! I wish we could go back to these days!!!

Black Thought never disappoints.

Salute from Mozambique!✊

Black Thought top 5 of all time, The Roots Crew top and up there with Earth Wind Fire Mint Condition type they can play any genre of music frfr

Thought is one of the baddest to ever do what he does. This cat is first rate in my book.

Lyrical genius. Black Thought is well-read, poetic and lyrical. He's one of the best MCs in the game. Salute!

Who the FUQ dislikes such beauty....Man its a privileged to witness such greatness. Black Thought Thank YOU

Black Thought & Rakim have that untouchable God Flow

This is Meditation.

Oh wow.... I listened to it twice loved it from the start... THEN actually watched the video and my eyes watered... Definition of love...

Reminds me of back when... sitting in the car... head bopping on a tilt... drinking in every lyric and screaming at my boy... "Yo! Did you hear dat?!"

My man said he checked into the hotel as the "Monarch of Mel-a-nin". Fire!! Officially cosigned by all.

Black Thought: LEGEND. Enough Said. We all lucky to be living in this era with B.T. forget all that, this is True Poetry.

Mind-blowing!!!!!!! Who knew Black Thought could sing 🔥 🔥 🔥

Loving the Marvin Gaye vibe on this joint

Lyrical genius!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿🎉👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿

Best song I heard in 10 years. Number one in my top three rappers of all time

BLACK THOUGHT the definition of LYRICAL MASTERY, Hes officially the G.O.A.T. in my eyes Back in the day , when those tape offers from Columbia house used to come in the mail, the 1st lps I ordered were "Do you want more" &"Illadelph Halflife". My moms was mad as hell, when the bill came in after the fact. , Sorry mom I had to have it.. 😁 Still to this day illadelph is 1 of the best albums ever made imo. Hip hop has always been a way of life for me , so much knowledge obtainable thru a true Emcee such as Tariq. Whether lifes good ,bad , in between,, soul , jazz and Trueschool hip hop have always been a mentor that provides a rhythm for my life experiences.. @Thought,, Thank u for your services.

Incredible!

GREATEST MC ❤️🎧

💯 this is pure talent..truly the GOAT👏👏👏

Bruh... You wrong for this one 🤦🏽‍♂️😩😩🔥🔥🔥

Black Thought ages like a fine wine, always fresh and taste better everyday but have been around for over 3 decades in the rap game. He is the definition of ORIGINALITY and LONGEVITY. For all of you giving this video a thumbs down, please go and drink from the "Streams of Thoughts Vol. 1 and 2 and be enlightened" Long live the true emcees, long live BLACK THOUGHT ✔
