Nas & AZ - Back To The Roots ft. Black Thought

[@Therealmoseslupai]

Black Thought is really a wordsmith man. It's crazy. PEACE to the GODS of hip hop. One love.

[@rentalife]

His Prime is at the moment oe since since Danger Mouse 'Cheat Codes' 🎉🎉

[@Therealmoseslupai]

@@rentalife That album is so good 🔥 man

[@rentalife]

@Therealmoseslupai in only about 35 minutes, is all essential for a great ood hip-hop to me. Danger Mouse does a great job. All the samples/instrumentals from these absolutely amazing 'oldies' lead to an unbelievable vibe. And Thought is doing his best work to me on that one. I've been at 'The Roots' live in Munich, Germany in 1999. Most of the attention was on Questlove at the time. I had a hard job as a landscape gardener and was so tired that I fell asleep at a table we were standing... Thought was never bad or 08/15, but not that oustanding. That collabo album with El Michaels Affair is also a good album 👌.. Peace ✌️ Do you like vinyl?

[@Therealmoseslupai]

@@rentalife Great story man that's fire to know. Yeah I like Vinyls, I own a handful of them.. Illmatic, College Dropout, B4 DA $$, and a few others...

[@rentalife]

@Therealmoseslupai good taste 👌.. Just asking because of the cheat codes that came out in orange with a cd. They have a regular version also.. Vinyl is so expensive in the last year. 10.-€ +. Insane. I'm from Germany and play some on Instagram. What about you?

[@cherylmcleod1547]

Old school rappers gonna keep save hip hop alive

[@luckymanham302]

Old school hip hop fans are also required…

[@dirtyjamaica]

Blackthought is so underated if he's not in your top 10 something is wrong

[@mellocap5630]

🎯 💯

[@Tony-Politics]

🗣absofuckinlutely...no question!!!😳

[@TheIronDuke9]

Def one of the most legendary and highly rated MC's to ever spit in a mic so I don't know about "under-rated"

[@adg_87]

By the time he hangs it up, it's a good chance he'll be greatest of all time.

[@adg_87]

Underrated by the know nothings.

[@ElyahYahsharalah-TheBlackFamil]

Who's idea was it to put these 3 on one track? This was an overdose for me. Straight fire from these Gods.

[@BoomBap75]

It's pieced together from previous songs!!Still Dope tho..BlackThought verse was part of his Flex freestyle...AZ verse was from his song called WE MOVIN(Prod.Statik Selektah)..

[@bilalsimms6194]

Good job on that mix

[@robert.mills5]

@@BoomBap75i was thinking that, this sounds familiar

[@DreDon-rs8ne]

Whyyyyyyyy.. Stop deceiving people.. Only fans that know original lyrics will know

[@MRnotMS97]

Got me high on words right now!

[@HarrisonDegarmo]

Nas, AZ, and Black Thought this is straight 🔥 three of the best lyricists to ever do it

[@HaitianPapi93]

Still Remember Black Thought's Hot 97 Freestyle Though 🔥 All 3 Certified Legends.

[@damianpepek2962]

White Boy WU Fam ONYX Remeber From 92 Only cassette nothing else N. W. A.

[@matthiace8221]

He broke the internet . That freestyle made alot of great future rappers that aren't yet

[@markishayes1888]

I hope this means we are finally after 30+ years getting an album from this duo 🙏🏾

[@Jesusdoesanswer]

@@HaitianPapi93 he just spit that same verse it’s 🔥🔥🔥 I was just hoping for some new 🔥🔥🔥🔥because he’s so talented

[@jaycompany4886]

AZ is so smooth with his flow.

[@thekingofabs8490]

Sounds old though. So does the hook. Production is good. Black Thought brought it and Nas was good. Abandon that old school flow.

[@scoobertmcruppert2915]

@@thekingofabs8490 You know this is 3 old verses put together...right?

[@deereid8969]

​@@scoobertmcruppert2915so where does AZs verse come from?

[@heidetermeg427]

Nas is still looking like he's in his 20's. Guess that's why he's timeless. Dope shit.

[@frank-xp6pj]

Yeah he still looks kinda young ALWAYS had a round face but his face just got fatter .

[@richflav2184]

AZ has been and always will be my number 1 since day 1. Sugar hill, smooth criminal sht baby.

[@dirtylaundrymedia]

Black Thought is not talked about enough.

[@levelcrosskings]

Facts. AZ is the GOAT of vocabulary and flow and he’s not talked about at all, ever

[@dirtylaundrymedia]

@levelcrosskings AZ is not in Black Thoughts class. He's nice but not on the same level. Imo

[@brettflowersbflo]

​@@levelcrosskings😅😂we

[@Jophlo78]

Does anyone realize that this is not actually a real song that these artists recorded together? I give it an "A" for effort And it's an enjoyable listen, no doubt.

[@jonah4580]

I didn’t realize til Black Thought got on cuz i used that verse on a track i did with him, Guru and Jadakiss.

[@princekhalil201]

az verse is from a track released in 2013 called We Moving…. its 🔥 for anyone who never listened to

[@mrscratchhook]

i knew it didnt feel natural...no wonder my spidey senses were tingling 😂

[@TheJuwile]

People are stupid

[@tyforsberg88]

If youre a fan of nas you knew immediately this was a mashup lol. Thought verse still nice to hear ..

[@DrbalFam-yh4vr]

BT’s verse is straight from his Flex freestyle a few years back. Go check it. BT a goat.

[@missioncrowney]

Wow. Nas and Az are 2 of my fav rappers of all time! However, Black Thought murdered this one. No doubt.

[@ddunnsr1]

Yeah, him and AZ was cheffing

[@dasparc5601]

Yeah I feel the same

[@scoobertmcruppert2915]

Yeah he did...in 1997

[@thomasgraveline-ri8ck]

That was just a reused piece of his legendary 13 min freestyle from a few years ago. The whole freestyle is incredible but it's kinda disappointing he didn't even bother to rearrange it or even change up the tempo or cadence

[@Bleed_Burgundy_Piss_Gold]

All three need to do a whole album together. That joint would be vicious…

[@payerscashiers]

One of the best duo combination of rappers of all time..NAZ/AZ😅

[@FNMarketMaven]

My 1st time hearing these 3 together, im beyond impressed..They need an album together all 3

[@Faridbuza]

I feel like I've just graduated with a PhD. after listening to Black Thought here. ❤❤❤

[@Hermosa_rosa_blanca]

You guys sound great. So glad to have you back. Thank you for sharing your talents and skills xoxox

[@blacksoulxl]

Real rappers are legends, and they really don't need to change their style to make trap or other commercial shit, they still have the essence and purity of hip hop ❤

[@m.j.v.4831]

I can breathe in this pocket. They still be playing this 500 years from now in Space Ships. ONE LOVE to the God Emcee's

This sounds like something someone put together and not a official collaboration. This type of ish needs to stop.

[@WilfredBormeh]

Who else misses Prodigy on this track?

[@Mira-ki3yz]

He held down the TTCQ Hall of fame tribute when brothers were emotional remembering Phife. I will love him forever for that. Not to mention he IS one of the greatest MC's.
