First Time Hearing Black Thought Funk Flex Freestyle!! (CRAZYYY) 🔥🔥

[@TheRealestHour]

What's the best BAR from this freestyle????

[@hermes_job_observer144]

@10:37: BEST BARS!!! 🔥🔥🔥 SPITTIN' STRAIGHT KNOWLEDGE AND INSPIRATION!!!✌️

[@staceytunstill4041]

My personal fave is the reference to The Roots going from 200 live shows a year to being Fallon's house band. A lot of hard core fans criticized the band for "selling out". They never did. Here's the verse: "My homie told me to come with him to the masjid Them brothers said, "Don't go from written bars filled with rage To primetime television and your gilded cage Then forget there's people in the world still enslaved." I barbwired my wrist and let it fill the page...'

[@coreypettigrew2932]

all of them...one that comes to mind, "we like Henrietta Lacks, up in them cells."

Rap on a doctorate level, so F. Scott Fitzgerald Pantomime, I'm made of elements you can't combine · I'm at a level of intelligence you can't define. Einstein, Shakespeare, Voltaire, Tesla…

Black Thought is everybody's favorite rapper's favorite rapper. Been in my top 3 forever! He's a real OG, and his dedication to his craft and lyrical fitness surpasses most MCs past or present even in his 50s. It's seriously incredible, and this is a true hip-hop masterpiece!

[@TheRealestHour]

What are some famous Black Thought songs? 🤔

[@hermes_job_observer144]

@The Realest Hour you might just stay on the freestyles for now cuz there's quite a few dope ones by Black Thought. Up next, I'll recommend: His freestyle with Method Man (as much as I love and respect Meth, it wasn't really a fair match-up though no one can really last against Tariq!) Method Man came with some writtens he had to read from his phone and the way Tariq comes in so hungry after him is crazy. It almost felt like a set-up for Meth. Watch for Sway asking him to pass the water, lol, they disrespectful. Meth even felt the need to add a 3rd improve verse just to try to compete with Thought's 2, then said he had to pee and bounced, lol!!!🤣

[@hermes_job_observer144]

I'll also request Black Thought's new album with Danger Mouse, called: "Cheat Codes" for some real hip-hop sh*t! Best songs with videos are: "Aquamarine", "Belize", (featuring the late MF Doom), and "The Darkest Part" (featuring Raekwon).

[@TheRealestHour]

Bet imma definitely check out the freestyles & the songs! Appreciate the comment ✊

Black Thought really a different breed he too elite

[@cheryls2ndborn]

Even if it was a written, it wasn’t written to that beat, and to be able to put all of that together, go for ten minutes straight with no stumbles, no “check 1,2”, or none of that is incredible. We might not ever see this level of excellence again.

Im glad you explained it, instead of bashing me for not knowing

[@sethman76]

He's spittin' so much he's sweatin'. Damn dude!

[@onlyjustcommentAry]

Black Thought used to hold his own with Big Pun back in the days, and it’s crazy because B.T. Was still growing in skill at the time.

[@TheRealestHour]

Idk tho im able to understand Big Pun, Black Thought be rapping bout stuff i dont know about.

[@odiegilemompati2034]

A true Master of the craft. You guys need to react to the Black Thought and Method Man freestyle on Sway 🔥🔥🔥

[@TheAdamSmasherMultiverse]

One of my top 5 Funk Flex Freestyles no questions Black Thought, Loaded Lux, JID, Axel Leon and Fred the Godson Gotta check out all five of you haven't fam. #legendary

[@TheRealestHour]

GOT YOU! 💪

[@electric8668]

The deepest rap since The Message from Melli Mel and Grandmaster Flash. BTW I love Rakim but even he doesn't have a rap this intricate and sophisticated. This doctoral PHD level $hit. It takes many times listening to it to even begin to understand what's being said. Go luck if you think you can get it listening once.

[@Rebel8MAC]

Funny how after the 4th or 6th bar is when everybody has a realization like "hol up.... oh he spitting fr fr😮"

[@bryce253]

No disrespect but I think it's obvious that at minimum 80% of those bars flew right over their heads...especially Mr. Constantlyadjustingmycap over on the right. Anyways, Black Thought is one of the greatest MC's alive without question.

Just subscribed. Check out Black Thought's song "the web, doing it again (remix) and long liveth."

Welcome to the #CLOCKGANG

I agree you don’t here an artist this day that makes you want to stop what your doing and out on a track. Black Thought makes you want to do that

[@wfdbackdraft7762]

Anybody could just listen to the freestyle and give a summary at the end. How about pausing it and breaking down some of the bars? Reaction grade= D-

[@TheRealestHour]

Break down an 11 minute freestyle & the video is an hour long you aint gonna watch anyway

[@jayt1104]

@@TheRealestHour I would, especially if you had the lyrics up there and broke them down. I've seen some other videos do it.
