Method Man & Black Thought Cypher on Sway in The Morning | Sway's Universe

Meth = One of the greatest voices and delivery ever in Hip-Hop. Thought = Arguably THE most technically proficient wordsmith ever in Hip-Hop.

I've always been aware of the Roots music and would listen from time to time, then I started checking out Thought's solo projects and I truly believe the dude is absolutely top 5 greatest of all time, and just above my man Meth. Thought's rhyme schemes are extremely complex, his ability to string together layers of compound syllables and double entendres is incredible and unlike most of I've ever heard.

Eminem is superior, technically to him.

@@ShadzVibez I get what you’re saying and it’s all very subjective. Eminem raps faster. But the intelligence, content, tone, style, creative rhyme schemes and cadence put Black Thought in a whole different league for me.

[@ShadzVibez]

@@mastadon7771 I think we’re people are divided on Eminem is the content of what he is saying, because the things that Black Thought speaks about are more relatable to me but if you break it down to the technical aspect of rap, Eminem takes it hands-down. Even on songs where it sounds like he’s just rapping fast and not seeing anything, he puts things together that my ears have never heard. I love black thought, and I am from Philly, but when people leave a comment and say that it is impossible to write anything better than he wrote, and there is nothing that can match this verse I have to disagree. Go listen to mural by Lupe Fiasco. This verse was good, but there are a lot of other great verses and this isn’t even black thoughts best verse
