The shit is tough, but Black thought... my god. He is always on point. Every roots album, every feature, and his solo work. Even when you think your educated, he makes you go back and actually review something. Always timely and focused. Super thorough with mad versatility (e.g, dear god 2.0, clock with no hands, birds eye view, mad men, Boom, 215....etc), and it always makes sense. Black thoughts verse: Yo, when we was hooked in the hood, gettin' booked like literature Kept us shook, like when the boogieman comin' to get ya We was crooks, tryna cop more rides than Great Adventure Any image we took, not a father was in the picture There was times, not a bite nor swallow was in the kitchen Real niggas made a industry out of they intuition Facin' the darkest outcome, sprintin' to outrun the reaper Trying not to be the food in the mouth of the beast For whom the bell tolls Crown kings in Adidas suits and shell toes We had to throw a lot of body blows and elbows Wishin' we could get from Snyder Ave to Melrose Without the Dapper Dan bodybags and jail clothes That warned niggas not to lollygag when Hell rose We railroaded through the thicker things for gold chains and chicken change No one throwin' flames, there's growin' pains when in the game And the blow, ashes in the snow, it's no remains Push the wheel as fast as it could go, we overcame the obstacles But when you official, the block miss you Even if the old crew choose not to rock with you We was blue-black, stuck in the glue trap I had to pull my own self up by the bootstrap Where everybody play they own part like a tooth gap And old heads teach the young hitters to shoot back I been livin' proof that the pressure make precious stones And real clairvoyant savants remain less unknown But anybody who question you, send a message to 'em I see my seat at the table to be a blessed throne Triumph and tragedy, his majesty muscle never atrophied The devil is a casualty, sucker, you're never catchin' me Even though you been after me, motherfucker You gotta bring a army to harm me, I occupy the capacity up Decapitator of a hater in this modern day My dossier no less, dealer spray Courvoisier I'm Jean-Paul Gaultier, Tom Ford, and Cartier Self-made, I fly vintage from the sommelier On reserve, flowin' from the blackest fountain It's all love from public housin' to the Atlas Mountains I've established the average to always bat a thousand So after butcherin' this track, it's back to countin' The money generated from me leavin' microphones broke Probably almost on par with all of Escobar's coke When I'm finished, I'ma keep a tennis shoe on y'all throat Just in case you mention in a interview you want smoke, nigga Two Fifteen 1) Black thought, 2)Rakim 3) Jay-Z 4) Biggie 5) Naz ( 3-5 can be interchangeable), 6)KRs-1, 7)Kool G, 8) Big Daddy Kane, 9) Mos Def, 10) Slick Rick, 11) Andre 3000, 12) Lupe Fiasco, 13) Ghost face Killa.....

Marvin Rock Wow and agree with the list!

[@MohamedHamzaKhaouti]

@@domnel3981 Great list! To me, Lupe Fiasco is higher on the list. Beside being a super lyricist, he has a body of work that's hard to match. F&L, T&Y (his best album imo), The Cool and Drogas Wave. That's 4 phenomenal albums. Rakim, G Rap and even Biggie are legends, but their body of work doesn't match that of Lupe imo. I'd also put 3k and Ghost higher up for the same reasons I mentioned for Lu. Respect fam!
