Danger Mouse & Black Thought - Identical Deaths (Official Audio)

[@alantoler8266]

What can you say bout black thought ...it's been a pleasure in this LIFE to have been able to witness a GREAT MC ....and Not only a MC but to me a great human being...you can't spit like he spit and Not be GREAT...people call him underated but that's for people who can't acknowledge Tru greatness We in a world of mass confusion and short attention spans ....black thought is the gem that's keep shining in the midst of chaos and WACK RAP MUSIC...peace to the ROOTS front Man for blessing the MIC for over 25 years of pure wizardry

[@samn3276]

Well said! He truly is One of one!

[@forthebeats1]

I agree with all that shit but Questlove is actually frontman for the roots, respectfully.

BEST ALBUM OF YEAR....it's Not even Close...bLk thought is on GOD LEVEL...and the production is stellar ....WorD...

[@patsnation8427]

Not even close? This album is fire but Drill Music In Zion is on this level of rapping.

[@JahovazWhiteness]

@@patsnation8427 Lupe is dope and a top 5 lyricist all time, but Black Thought is literally #1. Drill Music in Zion was dope too but I thought Magic by Nas was just as good and this blows both out the water.

[@patsnation8427]

@@JahovazWhiteness Black Thought is in my Top 10 all time. This album good but I think Drill Music In Zion is better imo.

Identical Deaths" I was proven effective by clinical tests For livin' many lives, dyin' identical deaths I thought why, how could this have ever been if I'm blessed? Then I had a talk with God, that was interview-esque He said, "'Riq, as near as the west and far as the east There's a warrant for your arrest by the karma police" The dharma was deep, our daughter was too dark with defeat But made it here to tell the story by the chalk of my teeth I'm a survivor, a thriver, a husband, and a father I rise with every morning they're starvin' another saga Empire, mosque, Fear of God or Balenciaga Viva to either La Résistance or La Raza I met the monster on a rooftop of the plaza The teleprompter said there's still an Oscar to conquer My witch doctor asked me what's blockin' my chakra I told him it was probably caffeine, chronic and vodka I need a word, but a sponsor that won't be heard at a concert I cried so many crocodile tears, my eyes hurt As I approached the altar, another convert If you could read my mind, you heed the signs first Anger, keep out, danger Keep out, danger

If everybody in the world knew Black Thought he'd still be underrated

[@terrygodbolt8128]

Black Thought truly helps me realize there's so much more poetry to write... It's exhaustive 🎙️🔥

[@oliverjohnson9819]

Black Thought the G.O.A.T. of G.O.A.T.S He be ur favorite rappers, favorite rapper. He has been spittin bars since '93 and the craziest thing is...........doo keeps gettin better. Thats literally unheard of in hiphop past say 35ish. So many artists get to a point where the almost cant even spit a verse anymore but Tariq still rips free's off the top like he was 22 still. I cant say enough about the man, the myth, Phillys greatest gift. Most underrated of all time.........cause he is the greatest emcee ever. Period.

[@karlpfund8428]

I'll be purchasing this baby on vinyl cheers

[@RogerHeathers]

Live drum chops by J-Zone at the end. Great record

[@shottashabazz6721]

What you know about J-Zone. Think I’m gonna blast To Love a Hooker today. Slept on and underrated. I hate that sh*t. I wish him and MF DOOM could have done a album together like the Jaylib album. Maybe one side be J rhyming over METAL FINGERS beats and vice versa.

This is my favorite track on the album. I love songs with the features, but the songs where he just snaps for minutes are the best! This one was too short!!
