The Roots are underrated. Black Thought is one of the most underatted rappers of all time.

[@AudieS71]

I agree. I saw him at Celebrate Brooklyn presents OkayAfrica feat. THE ROOTS at Prospect Park Bandshell BKNY (July 2010). Dude has never-ending lyrics and mad skillz!!!!

@@Xannyphantom905 TF u talking about the West side was blazing this Scott Storch slapper with one of the nastiest cadence laid down by black thought. NY never really gave Philly rappers all out love back in the day until artist like beanie Sigel, freeway and State Property tore the frame off the door.

The chorus is to the record label who were forcing them to put this record out, because they didn't have a chorus yet. So they decided to make it about the label (Cut the check, Give it here and Don't say Nothing!)

Makes sense. The chorus is just roughed in with intonation. 13yr later comment 😅
