GREATEST FREESTYLE EVER! Black Thought Freestyles On Funk Flex REACTION!

[@malskyboss5197]

Nobody touching him!! Old heads stand up!!🔥🔥🔥

[@stevenmonte7397]

Black Thought has NEVER had a weak line EVER!!! He's the GOAT!

I concur

[@IcyVeinsWithin]

I've listened to this 53 times...still hear something new everytime

[@jemalrankin5494]

Me as well , but now I think I pretty much know it all , I'm able to kinda rap along with him and I'm proud asf how I've gotten 😊 !

[@Vinnytint2]

That was GOD LEVEL

[@jfulton2852]

This like when Vince Carter dunked on the world except. Thought the greatest emcee

[@masegoflames3421]

He summed it up with the last two lines… “Brain matter contain too much data, I tell a story like fingerprints and blood splatter!”

[@eitanaltman158]

Quest Love says he can do this for an hour if he wanted to. GOAT

[@newjack1982]

It’s the best freestyle ever in history 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@andy1181-l3m]

Nope…its not a freestyle. Freestyle is off the top of the head…this is clearly written. If he was ever put on the spot and given random topics to rap about it would sound nothing like this! If you wanna hear REAL mind blowing freestyles off the top of the head look up Harry Mack!

@@andy1181-l3m I get it technically speaking it’s not. But at the end of the day for him to do this in like 5 breaths was still amazing!!!!💯

@@andy1181-l3mfreestyles can be written. Still a freestyle

[@Mpc333k]

@@andy1181-l3m Completely and utterly wrong. This may not be off the dome but it also NOT a “written” freestyle. Black doesn’t write lyrics down; he has an entire library of lyrics stored in his head that he can draw from and spit at will. This shit ain’t unheard of either; Biggie, Jay Elect, Jigga, Kool G, BDK, Wayne, Mos Def, etc can all do this. Quest himself said Black coulda done this for an hour if he wanted to.

He’s a super human. It never ceases to amaze me

Your reaction is the best for real lmao when you started blowing wind cause the speakers were overheating and I can guarantee this won't be your only time listening to this, once you heard it once it becomes tradition to keep coming back to this freestyle, you catch new meanings every time

Subbed for this reaction alone. Then I looked at your catalog🔥🔥🔥 Would love some more Black Thought, but you have straight bangers for days in here. Strong work, my man.

[@bryansimpson9858]

I’ve NEVER seen you get up lol. Ever since I was young listening to “do you want more” he was my favorite over Tupac, Biggie, Nas, and Jay Z. Simply because his cadence and knowledge and breath control is untouchable. I’m just proud I called it before most. Catch up everyone! 🙌🏾

what made black though the best ever... was not only the 10 minutes of flow...the delivery... it was the content... he was saying shit that you need to go do research on .. like he said " ima Griot" a Griot is an African Story Teller.. it too heavy for most people to fully digest

Ill add this to the list of things I learned from this along with who Henrietta Lacks is, and that slaves were branded with a Flor-Di-Lis in NO.

I bet if he was put on the spot and people were throwing out words for him to “freestyle” to it wouldnt sound anything like this

[@andy1181-l3m]

Yea thats not really a freestyle though…its clearly written. If you wanna see REAL mindblowing freestyles off the top of the head look up Harry Mack Not to take away from Black Thoughts rap cuz its crazy dope…but just clearifying

[@Mpc333k]

Completely and utterly wrong. This may not be off the dome, but it’s NOT a “written” freestyle either. Tariq doesn’t write lyrics down; he has an entire library of lyrics stored in his head that he can draw from and spit at will. It’s not unheard of either; Biggie, Kool G, BDK, Jay Elect, Wayne, Jigga, Mos Def, etc. can all do this. Quest himself said Black coulda done this for an hour if he wanted to. And to compare Harry Mack to BT should be a felony.

[@andy1181-l3m]

@@Mpc333k well of course any rapper could do that…I know hundreds of classic rap verses that are stored in my head that I could spit at anytime…includijg Black Thought verses. Im not saying BT isnt talented, he’s an insane lyricist. But theres dozens of insane lyricists…how many people can do what Harry Mack does? Black Thought is no doubt the better rapper, but Harry Mack is no doubt the better freestyle rapper which is a more rare and mind blowing skill. I hate that the word freestyle has went from one meaning to another without any clarification…theres a big difference

[@Mpc333k]

@@andy1181-l3m Wrong again. Not “any” rapper can do what these dudes did. Read their names again; they’re literally all elite or bonafide legends my guy. You being able to remember someone else’s verses because you listened to their joints or read them off rapgenius isn’t even CLOSE to the same thing as Black Thought conjuring up lyrics from inside his head that he HIMSELF has created without ever writing them down in the first place. Off the dome freestyles were already popular in the mid 80’s all the way to the 90’s. I went to the same high school Busta went to where he/DMX/Jigga/Biggie were known for battle rapping. That shit was always off the dome. Supernatural could pick up a mic and rhyme for hours n hours on end. Big L battled off the dome against other unknown up and comers who would show up with prewrittens and still wax em with personals. Jay walked in the booth with Saigon, heard the beat they were boutta collab on for the first time, created a verse on the spot and spat it in real time in one take without writing it down first, then promptly left. I could go on and on. It’s just y’all youtube aficionados who find that rippity rappity weak ass form of freestyling that Harry is known for impressive for some goofy ass reason. Black Thought is on a whole different level: not only can he create and draw from lyrics inside his head without ever writing them down but he can also mix and match em IN REAL TIME to generate actually meaningful, thought-provoking verses that could rival high form poetry. Harry Mack could NEVER do that even if he had an encyclopedia sitting in front of him. I don’t give a fuck what you hate; freestyles have always been classified as free form spitting; whether it’s off the dome, or prewrittens, or lyrics stored in your head - it doesn’t matter. You could make that distinction, but at the end of the day they’re still all freestyles. Even in other genres, this same form of freestyling carries over. You think Buddy Rich ripping drum solos on the spot was all 100% improv?? No, they were drawn from practice sessions he had performed for days and days on end and had them stored in his memory banks that he would put together live. I can tell you’ve never seen The Roots perform on stage. Tariq been spitting like this over Quest drum solos since he was 19. There’s a reason why he’s considered to be one of the greatest live performers of all time. And he did this shit ad infinitum for all the classics The Roots put out. Comparing Harry to BT is like pitting the karate kid against Thanos. Put sum respeck on the GOAT’s name.
