Merry Christmas yall. Been here since before 1000 subs. N I'll still be here after 1 million. Always telling people to check ur channel. Real sh1t. Podcasts! Get into it, I'm telling u. U guys got the chemistry for that

lol

👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾🇺🇸🇳🇬

Set lower expectations and over deliver. Lol nice

A T Under promise, over deliver.

Its the fact that they actually catch every bar and no exactally what the artist is really saying. Most reaction channels miss most, and the ones,they catch dont understand anyway. Love these guys.

wow I missed that

Good catch!!!

🤯🤯🤯

nice.

On foenem grave

Facts

Not.One.Gasp.

Lol. Thanks my man!

And THATS~~》REAL!

i agree, y'all smart

I would agree with this statement. Very entertaining

This is a great idea.

Facts

Bailey there’s a difference between a wack bar and verse Like André 3000 has not 1 bad verse

@Bailey Black thought is way better than pac

Bailey I don’t know bout Black Thought but André has not 1 bad verse you can ask anyone who listens to him

@Bailey Name one

LiveJ5 Yes! I’m originally from East Africa(Sudan) I know exactly what you’re referring to.

@@darkcontinentschild2962 My family is from central Africa and we too have griots. In fact griots are thought to be the first rappers.

The griot (the story teller) that makes you want to peacock (put your hands up) your arms. I'm glad someone else caught that line

I tbougjt he meant Gre-At as in A Great...but be used the letters to sound how they should lol.but yeah Griot in that sense makes sense as well

LiveJ5 kinda like Mohamed ?

Chet Lee Kowalski facts!

Coulda gone longer without a problem.

OpThomasPrime oh no doubt.

Absolutely

I LOVED this breakdown!

I love that analogy 💚

Great analogy. Hip Hops Sentry or World War Hulk. 👍🏽👏🏾

Hip hop super hero!

Whoa!

Bruh u got more barz than most rappers these days lol

Ain’t written big fella

Jamen Thomas It’s definitely written. There’s zero chance it isn’t. But to memorize ten minutes of different flows and cadences with writing at this level and do it in one take exactly the way he wrote it takes more skill than improvising does.

Facts

James Thomas no rapper can put together 2 back to back bars off the top of the head with flow like this were he is rhyming multiple syllables per line. No rapper can do that without writing and planning

Kenny 92 I love how they educate as well

Thanks bro! Always a pleasure seeing you in here Kenny!

Not for nothing but we all know the reason this channel is as big as it is it's because they transcend boundaries they go from deep rap cuts to many varieties of rock and metal to r&b or country and don't placate to any if they don't dig it they say it and that's respect most people say what they think people wanna here

I saw you on aleeas precious life

Kenny 92 Facts!

Good catch!

🔥🔥🔥

As a watch enthusiast/collector this line made my day when I first heard this freestyle

@Doc Watson Lmao that man's simple shit speaks volumes bro. I know his other lines within this were jaw dropping, but being a science major and hearing those 2, I was like...."wait a damn minute." lol

Raven those lines went over my head, thank you for clarifying them. Good day to you and yours 👌

@@NkataM Peace and blessings right back to you! No problem at all

Deven Brown Great observation!

Absolutely

2023 still

even if someone can top it. He'll be right back on sway.

Like, see it as a crime scene (i'm referencing to his last bar). You come there, you see the fingerprints and blood splatters, you know what has happened (roughly), but you still have to be the forensic to put ALL the pieces together. Just like the freestyle, you hear some of the bars and you catch the meaning, but not all the bars. You have to dig deep to understand all the references etc.

Going on 5 years.

That freestyle is a super massive black hole. It's nearly beyond comprehension.

​@@abasis.baruti9819I tore through the fabric of space with this one! Next dimension shit

Ian Page this is God level lyricism

I caught that too, but I'm from the south

Kudos to YOU for knowing that little known fact AND catching that bar...✊💪

That's so deep

They branded slaves with a fluer de Lis? Isn't it a French symbol.

@@damnthisuser Yeah France owned a lot of America back in the day, only the Haitian revolution forced them to sell their stake.

THe puppet masters want it a young and stupid dumbed down game. Buying all the radio stations and creating universal play lists of the mumble trash for the last 8-9 years nationwide. The ignorant, drug use, sexist culture is rewarded. Intellect is not respected by the puppet masters. The young cats will sell their souls for any buck and fame. This is where we are today unfortunately. And the majority of them today have no talent. They cannot rap or rhyme. Its not Hip HOP. It is Shit Hop.

OverlorBeats I'm gonna need you to stop PREACHING 💯💯💯

OverlorBeats You should of heard the The Roots live show on WNYU 89.1 for the album release of Illadelph Halflife in 1996. That was probably one of the greatest Underground Hip-Hop shows ever recorded. I wished I still had my cassette tape from that day.

I bet I was a fan the first time I ever heard them which was "Do You Want more"

Zgs Freaky yeah I know. But this freestyle is a completely different monster. Like a Griot being an African poet. Little things like that made me make that comment. I knew what a Fleur De Lis looked like but I didn’t know the history behind it. Just commending a smart dude.

Marc Great comment. These guys are awesome.

Marc Agreed. I got even more respect for George. I read a lot of these books in High School

Marc Completely agree - knowing griot, Freakonomics, Kissinger, Lacks, white flag double entendre, and some others were impressive, some of which I’ve learned and forgotten, and for him to pull them out of his pocket really needs to be valued. Even though he missed Fleur de Lis, which was from 3 musketeers, I missed it as well

Ulysse I hear ya, I'm not disagreeing, I just realized it from musketeers when someone else said it. I guess he did get it but didn't realize that "The fleur-de-lis is a royal symbol in most cases, but when tattooed on flesh, it is a standard mark for criminals, and prostitutes." (I copy and pasted the quotes)

thank you, thought I was the only one that caught that.. masterpiece

Realist comment I've read on this channel... If they did forreal itd do numbers thas fsho

You actually made me Google how many pages (and words) are in Atlas Shrugged and War and Peace. Close - but War and Peace is longer. Touché.

Yes some one finally caught the reference as to how thick the book War and Peace is.

It took me three weeks to read "War and Peace" so it means his passport only has three weeks worth of traveling ... LOL ... just kidding ... he's referencing how many pages are in his passport ...

Yeah 1200 pages, only made half myself, need to finish! I'd agree that it relates to the stamps within, the content, reflecting how well travelled and cultured he is, my bro was super proud filling one, takes some doing. Page count is the same in all passports, filling em is an achievement!

He did it again 🤣

True that they are my favorite always spot on

That makes it even harder

Why does he have to be an alien?......Why can't he just be on a higher plane?

@@edski8536 Joe doesnt actually think hes an alien...Joes just saying Black is gifted

but a lot of folk think blacks are not human lol

@@velvetloulou6316 I can understand why.. they are pretty friggin incredible

@@mmaboxing8015 🤣Ever !

We figured it would be Africa. It kind of went with the 'theme' lol. Thanks for the info!

Might be a stretch on my part but I also thought he may be saying his passport has been to so many places that he’s been near war-induced & peaceful lands along the way. Either way super 🔥 🔥

they said that lol

@@AJRios12 nah he got it. tolstoy's war and peace is just an infamously dense and lengthy book.

Thanks bro!

Never thought I'd run across you in these comments! Love your stuff too Baer! Your Darkest Dungeon content is my favorite!

Haha, it is so funny to see one of my fave streamers and youtubers commenting on one of my fave review channels!

Really Baer, what are you doing here, taking lessons to go hard after NL?

@@xRaptorScreamx ugh.

No doubt

Top 2 In my eyes

Been in top 5 since illadelph halflife. At least that’s when I realized it.

@@omenic4 facts

afrikan dreamer 🙌🏽❤️

Also "you heard the line everybody plays the fool, well I be the exception to the rule" is referencing the Main Ingredient song "Everybody Plays the Fool". This is a great analysis though, the best one I've watched.

Thanks bro! We appreciate the support!

It's a fake reaction

foor for black thought*

Truth

I Ain't No Joke Lol people are blind these days

When you've won multiple Grammys you're hardly overlooked.

I Ain't No Joke Word he been done this shit

Don’t even need CSI, HE MURDERED ‘em. Case closed!🔥

One of the best closing lines...EVER.

Sooooo Dope 👋👋👋👋 I hope all is well friend. 🙏

Esa Puntch I hope you continue to do well and find happiness🙏🏽

Be well my guy

❤️❤️❤️

its all love here man

Facts✊✊💪

Thanks my man! We appreciate that! Merry Christmas!

Thanks for that info. I had no ide about that.

Jordan Hester whew!

Clay Hopkins I would 100% watch this if they did it with LawTwinz

James McLaughlin same

Clay Hopkins Yo Lost In Vegas homies y’all DO need to start a podcast... I know you do this for fun but you could get some SERIOUS clout with a podcast

These guys just have way too much potential to not do something big. Because I feel like hip hop podcasts are really lacking.

Clay Hopkins 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Socrates Any song from RTJ 2 or 3 anyway. The first album's kind of weak in my opinion

Brandon Melling true. I just feel like they don't have a bad song.

Socrates nice!

Legend Has It

Good god. I'm glad they keep panning around the studio, because if not for that I'd assume he's reading from something.

😅HaHaHAAAAA!!!! 👌

Even if hes reading from something , still , near impossible for 99% of people to do .....not one word/thought had any hesitation in it.....

It was way Passed time for Black Thought to gain more respect. He's been respected by real heads, but he doesnt get mentioned in GOAT conversations often enough. Been rapping Longer than Biggie and Tupac, and has as many or more classic albums.

Biggie and Pac are immortalized because they were both murdered in their prime. They were both great, they did earn their spots. Thought is #1 though for me though and likely always will be, he can't be compared to anyone, he's just the best.

corey dooley sorry Pac didn’t have bars he had a few songs and hooks can’t even compare

In Alexandre Dumas story of "The Three Musketeers" I believe the Fleur de Lis was also a symbol branded on those marked for death.....

You're 100% correct Sir...!!!

Word

He said, "More police for my core beliefs/they tried to catch me and brand me on my cheek with a Fleur de lis!"

Salute You Reader !

Thanks Brian!

Lost In Vegas no problem!

Brian Benavides omg yes. The next Black Thought review...I'm definitely subscribing.

My man! We appreciate your support as always bro!

kasoe2221 FACTS

I think it was on purpose

Stay Up I was just thinking he had to be. OG( older lion like mufasa, young lion like simba) both of the same tribe who can respect his lyricism. He really blacked out on this

Shout out to a Black Lily reference!!!!

Thanks Anthony!

No, thank you guys for opening my mind to different shit. I'm not subscribed that long but in all fairness to you guys, as a closed minded metal head, I've heard sheeeiit I've never heard before and I seriously like it. So total respect to you guys for that. Sincerely, thanks guys. Really appreciate it. Respect big time!

Do you mean "Things Fall Apart" the novel? I love that book. I love how complex his bars are. One can get a dual meaning and both be correct in your interpretation. It's like scripture, the more you meditate on it, the more is revealed.

@@yaaharriott ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dH65xVS_4yI.html check out that album from The Roots, out of this world

I thought peacock your arm is to shooting up

@@douglaslafarlette5604 Peacocking typically means to show one's feathers with pride, but in this context he's talking about showing one's appreciation for his bars.

Thanks for for watching bro!

Thanks Carl!

for a rapper at black thoughts level memerizing a 10 min written and then performing it to one of the most iconic beats isnt a crazy thing. much more likely than something this complex and long being totally off the dome. still insanely impressive and one of my favorite raps ive ever heard, especially considering the perfect lyricism and the breath control, but very likely not off the dome

I rap I am not great but I can freestyle pretty well. A good friend of mine and a lot of people I know are very good. Coming off the top isn't really that hard but you can always tell and no matter what you are always gonna say things you have wrote or said before. Also if you are really coming off the top you will have some set up lines especially if you go for 10 mins. This was definitely a written to some degree in fact some lines are in some of his songs in some capacity. With that said this is far more impressive than any freestyle. The reason it is so impressive is because I think he was just kinda going with lines he might have had arranged for something like this. Which idgaf who you are sputting for 10 mins straight on demand and never messing up at all and delivering the whole thing super on point is just unbelievable. Ask any Mc too freestyling isn't really that difficult especially if people understand it is off the top because you are gonna fall off. However writing is so much more difficult. I can freestyle all day but I can't write for shit. You could give me a lifetime and I could never write something like this and do it at anytime. So basically these lines are all pre written at some point that he probably just came in and started spitting and mixed it up with some freestyling as well. The dude is one of the best ever! Even if he wrote all of this and rehearsed it a 1000 times beforehand it is still super impressive.

HANDS DOWN!!

Thank you for watching the entire vid! We appreciate that!
