Black Spazzed!!!!!!!!

[@kmack002]

If ever there was someone born to MC, with lyrics flowing through his blood stream...it's Black Thought. If he isn't the greatest to ever do it, then nobody is.

In my opinion, and I'm a student of hip hop, Thought is undoubtedly the overall greatest on the mic of all time. I would love to hear anybody that disagrees so if u do please reply to this comment and I'd LOVE to have a healthy debate about it.

[@j.djames4467]

Black Thought is dope as fuck and has been steadily spitting the highest quality bars for 20 years plus. That being said, I personally prefer Andre 3000 by a fraction. You listen to Outkast's 90s albums? His ability is off the hook.

[@jermainedorn4030]

Donny Danko where do nas,k.,Busta& kiss fit into the debate?

[@humblemoor6189]

they all fall below Black Thought, but they are still great MC's. Black Thought's ability is just too great. Besides, BT is their favorite MC.

[@pauljohnson3442]

13 years later and this flow is still timeless and this man is just getting better. If he ain't top 5 rapper EVER then we need to throw the whole system out the window. GOAT status for life and after, no question

[@needtocomment]

Good to see I’m not the only who still visits this in 2023. This freestyle is arguably better than the one he did on Flex And, yeah, he is definitely top 5 lyricist of all-time. People often confuse top 5 discography with lyricism. It’s not the same

[@cvdog4l]

[@Bryantsreeves]

Wow this sounds like fresh out of the 90's, which I love... he's still keeping hip hop the way it was.

I know what you mean, but it's still applicable. From wikipedia "Originally, in old school hip hop of the 1980s, the term "freestyle" referred to a pre-written rap verse that was not on any particular subject matter, but rather was written for the purpose of demonstrating skill" So Black Thought gave you one version, and Tip gave you the other either. Either way, thanks for the upload. A lot of talent in that room.

@ozarp You need to post this like 50 times for people to really realize that "you ain't neva lied" Black Thought has nothing to prove against anyone. He has the money/respect by doing it his way and never selling out as a gimmick I'm still not sure about the Jimmy Fallon gig, but I know he likes acting and all that. But when you put a Mic in his face he goes in BEAST mode channeling the best of the all time greats. Vol tron on the Mic for real.
