Black Thought is the lead mc for the roots. They're from the 90's and have always been supreme hip-hop. They now have a steady job on the jimmy fallon show
@@tribeloui2023you MUST check out their classic albums Illadelph Halflife and Things Fall Apart from the late 90s. The Roots isn’t a jazz band, they were the first hip hop group to add in a live band, in the early/mid 90s. Check out the De La Soul interview on Jimmy Kimmel a couple weeks ago, Black Thought hops on and MCs live with DLS and raps Trugoy’s parts (RIP).
Black Thought is a lyrical wizard. He resides amongst my top 5. Comedy recommendation for tomorrow...Any/all Doug Stanhope stand up specials please do the tribe this kindness...!!!!
What you have to remember about Tariq Trotter is that he been doing this for so long, and works so hard at it, he has a bar or verse for everything and every beat. He's so good, he destroys the distinction between 'true' and 'written'. Because he just pulls them all out of his brain. That brain should be preserved for future generations to figure out! 🔥
MY G! I was kinda skeptical at the start of the video..........but your energy was unmatched! You got a new sub with me!💯 Let me recommend Mysonne Freestyle on Funk Flex! He got one solo and one with Fat Joe
This may be the best freestyle of all time. A few to check put that at least keep up, would be "locksmith" on kay slay, or his sway freestyle, both fire. And another freestyle I'd have to put in my top 5 at least would be king los on la leakers.
Black Thought is #1 on my greatest MC’a of all time. Body of work, quality, and never strayed away from who he is. Never conformed to the masses, plus I’ve never heard a wack song from him since I started listening to the Roots back in 8th grade in 1999.
A seasoned Lyricist, 35 yrs and going. Freestyles off the some is NOTHING. Questlove co-signed it, he the one that sent him to Flex saying nobody was checking for him.. Philly JAWN 🔥
