"you ain't got more soul, unless you Korean" is one of the most slept on bars ong

Best Reaction Ever Brother! You caught a lot of what many did not! I’m a Strong supporter! OG! Peace to the God Black Thought! Check outKRS ONE “BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY “ Album JEWELS 💎

[@Hapkidoka]

Every line was a bar. He never had a filler word. Anybody that seriously wants to rap should pay attention to the way he constructed this entire 15-minutes of absolute hip hop perfection. Black Thought is the definition of dope.

[@bingload]

his filler word is "Listen" several times, he needed it to keep pace only a couple times

[@silvers983]

This is just like straight up art. You could legitimately analyze this for an English class.

PHILLY REPRESENT!!! I love what Questlove said about this on People's Party w/ Talib Kweli: "Tariq is too good for his own good - and, that rule in 'The 48 Laws of Power' which, you're not supposed to... you can't outshine the teacher, that sort of thing.. " Quest describes his flow as "like trying to use a fly swatter on a fly that you can't kill", and recalls a conversation he had with Jay-Z about why Black Thought isn't asked to do more features... Jay basically said that in the current climate, "no rapper can really afford to look bad in front of him". F*cking FACTS!!! #MomentOfClarity

[@Green-Bean1]

Greatest of all time. People really out here saying chief keef is the best. This is probably the greatest freestyle of all time.

This is the Greatest Freestyle ever! This is God level Rap! Everyone can’t get to this level FORREAL!

[@Bulls1999]

Basically the gist of it is that back in the day, the cells of black woman was taken for medical research and has been the cell line used for medical research basically without her consent or financial gain for her or family. The cells are used to genetic engineering and study diseases and possibly stem cell research to make organs and limbs is what he is alluding to

This man is spewing 4,000 years of historical, musical, heroic, pop culture, westerns, books, of just straight gorgeousnes. In college I took 4 semesters of world history, art history, musical theory, theater, film ,poetry, English, creative writing, philosophy, economics and psychology and this man summed it up in 15 minutes.

[@methodmantis3060]

Thought been in my top 5 for a long, long time. Seeing/hearing him do this last year, and then breaking it down again and again and again since then put him at the top spot. For me, anyway. Plus I don't think that a lot of cats fully comprehend the difficulty of doing that live and in one take. This what it looks like when a legit master is in his bag.

[@MasterRoshiSama]

Yeah totally feel this. I have a hard time putting anyone above him after that too

[@Green-Bean1]

I don’t know how many times I’ve come back to listen to this.

[@ianhannan9426]

Hands down the best freestyle of all time! I pulled this up and listen to it every couple months

[@Freewarrior2]

Black Thought started dropping bars out the gate with the first line

[@coastie0228]

Scru I have to say this is easily one of the best freestyles of ALL TIME! Elevated, in the clouds, pristine! Thank you for this video!

[@michaelfignoni9035]

Not a freestyle because its written we call this a free verse

[@brajwasi6258]

@@michaelfignoni9035 no way he remembered 10 minutes of stuff. W lot of rappers fill up verses by freestyle while on stage so no way he remembered all that. Some it was surely written like Cole's freestyle but at the cerebral pace he is going incorporating those written lines on a new beat is already hard in itself. If you are not a great freestyler then you'll choke at doing this. Either ways BT is top 10 of all time.

[@1c0nic_player]

@@brajwasi6258 cole's freestyle is all written and this is surely predominantly written but i think he transitioned bars on the fly

The first man to catch the "D.O.C. pre- accident" line. Everyone gets caught up on the 'pre-Kardashian Kanye' and then miss..."...my rhyme play immaculate, same cadence as D.O.C. pre-accident, maybe my acumen's on par with Kool G Rap and them..." Black thought is on another level.

The answer to your question is yes, lol. My favorite bars from this change every time I hear it, but I return to these right here over and over again: "I am a walking affirmation, that imagination And focus and patience gets you closer to your aspiration." So many more, obv. But that one just hits transcendently.

This was insane, dude is combining so many references, punchlines, schemes, and storytelling basically on a Nas level all simultaneously. Didn't waste a second. Vocabulary is wild as well. And it's a freestyle? Sheeeeeeesh.

[@dazziboi5726]

Freestyles are writtens 80% of the time

The crazy thing is that this is such an excellent display of skills that I don’t know if he would comeback to make another freestyle; this was an absolute masterpiece. I will forever be grateful for this display of exquisite intricate bars; this was also a so historically informative. I never tire of hearing this… I never knew he was this nice all these years.

If i needed to make a battle history of this freestyle, it would be the Rashudin Caliphate winning at Damascus, Yarmouk, Al-Qadisia, Jerusalem, Nahavand, Alexandria, Sufetula and Cyprus at the same time!!!

[@amanSpawn00]

What I loved best about this is this whole verse sounds and feels like an actual off the dome freestyle Or I should say a verse done in one sitting How can you tell? He gets deeper and deeper into subjective thoughts as he goes on Like when you freestyle or you in the midst of writing As you keep going, it feels like you getting better and better. Cuz you going deeper and deeper into the shit you REALLY wanna rap about The things you wanna say something about. Those come out in later thought when you’re writing But HOW he embodied that for an entire verse without a single wasted word is……….. Something unthinkable. Black Thought in his own realm JUST for that. And that’s not even counting the actual content and bars and message Just the thought process behind it all and then actually pulling it off

[@nickledonne90]
