No rapper in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD can rhyme better than this man! Real Talk! No One! This dude is a beast!

[@shoeperstarr]

Thought spits so effortlessly. Bars, flow, delivery. He's always on point.

[@OverlorBeats]

There is Nothing to consider...He is without a doubt one of the Premiere Mc's to ever bless a mic. Black Thought is easily that Black Horse that will eliminate a many of fans favorite rapper. Underated in the mainstream but a God like MC in the underground!!!! He is in my Top 3 period!!

[@soundsosincere]

srsly. dude is da god. check the catalogue, its crazy, riq NEVER had a wack line. never. favourite rappers favourite rapper no doubt.

[@TerryCarter]

One of the greatest of all time! He's in my top 3 also. He's tied with Nas in my opinion.

[@baidawibai]

Can you believe dudes are saying Kendrick is better than Thought? Has the world gone mad?!!!

[@TerryCarter]

Kendrick Lamar is dope but he's not even close to being on Black Thought's level.

[@grinchoi1]

nobody that spent time listening to Black Thought would say that. They are groupies.

[@AARONKAYE]

It's criminal how underrated BT is.

[@tookurjaerbs]

GODSON Official Music IMO, he's the best :-)

[@marcussullivan332]

Not just one of the greatest but also one of the Illest of all time... bung bung

[@davidhamilton2708]

I would describe myself as a rap aficionado with years and years of listening to hip hop/ rap music. Black thought must be apart of the conversation when people talk about best of all time. Also check out his rhyme during bet cypher..... super DOPE

[@Jamiel24]

He killed it like he always does!!

[@mattwilliams5]

There is a reason why no one has tried to battle Thought....he's a BEAST!! Check your history very few Mc's have been around that long and have not be challenged...Thought is one of the few.

[@youalreadylate]

[@DDlocsPhilly]

[@MrMclain]

Top tier. Often overlooked

[@kageofspades]

GOOD LORD. BOW DOWN TO BLACK THOUGHT

[@bayxican831]

Damn that was so nice

[@kgotsopedi475]

Black Thought got this. Articulate, professional and gradually works damn hard on his craft. #Underrated

[@jeffree6925]

Still bangin this.........fire. This was out WAY before everybody saw that 10min freestyle and had jus learned about him. The man has BEEN the greatest, most underrated lyricist in the game!!!!

[@daslimpoet]

Consistent lyricism for 3 minutes straight without any profanity.

[@b7k1l8yn]

Real Bars!! Black Thought Witness Legendary ish**

[@AlejoChris73092]

I can't wait till i get their next album, got my preorder ready! 215! All Day!

[@3fanAI]

Next level!

[@triXXareN]

Probably the most slept on in the game. He IS a top 5 dead or alive, easily.

[@thisisgame]

Those bars were FIREEE!

[@chaosinorderrr]

Black Thought is top 5 dead or alive. Absolute beast and a legend!

[@raydennis16]

Fire. Dope Trentorns.

[@jayski73]

Absolute DOPE! The brother Black Thought in his bag!

[@2lemonades]

Love the art of hip hop. Black Thought,I absolutely love it. And Quest took to scratching, omg... p.s, that cypher with Em, Mos and Black was so sweet. If ya haven't seen it, youtube it.

[@Dalareaux]

Am organized rhyme spree? Sounds about right. Mad respect.

[@2dahiphop]

I definitely heard some of his written shit in there, but this was dope. He's one of the best.

[@carcrash714]

Why is there a question mark in the title? It's like asking if the ocean wet.

[@iamthenati]

Take note future "Rappers"

[@marcolores5844]

Greatest Mc at complex word play, and metaphors for days. Black Thought, you're the reason other mcs should look over there shoulders. Just pure genius.

[@kudabeen]

Black Thought is my favorite MC of all time...he is more consistent, versatile, and rooted in the culture than any other MC dead or alive...we will look back on his bars, performances and features and be like "oh shit, we really slept on him"

[@justUnderground16]

Roots are one of the most talented groups around. Philly Love! If you haven't seen them in concert, its a treat. And they also do the best rock covers i have ever heard.

[@slightygee]

DAMN!

[@agodnamedtravisworthy5611]

That was insane black thought is so slept on

[@bobalbert2508]

I give Black Thought the best MC of all time title. Longevity, consistency, 11 album(?) and none are even questionable, one of the best live performers, he can freestyle, write an actual song with meaning, he can straight buss on some MC shit and he's survived the several ins and outs of Roots members(Malik B, Dice Raw, Rahzel, Scratch etc) and going from dropping one verse a song to three verses at times. Dude just deserves the ultimate praise. He's at the top of my list of MC's.

[@carlyapple2535]

He is the GOAT. Period.

[@TheWhiteCobra1]

GOT DAMN

[@nystmind]

this is ice water on a hot ass day.... refreshing !!!!!!

[@slickn05]

Black Thought is one of the dopest emcee's I've ever heard. Definitely one of the greats.

[@agondeity6419]

All i can say is thanks...dropped another mf diamond

[@dawaune91]

Slept on. In my top 10 Best of All Time

[@CaseyStellar]

Philly ! ! !

[@damienj.womack133]

BARS!!! #HowItShouldBeDone

[@JSRLPadre]

Real cerebral hip hop!

[@cen1276]

The Roots is one of the only hip hop groups, alongside Public Enemy, that I listen to repeatedly without fail.

[@TerryCarter]

Word up! Me too

[@CNovz]

Flatbush zombies

[@f.a.hampton7106]

Asking these bastards if it's any last word! Besides "what", "when", "why" and all them adverbs! You bout to be the next fugitive captured! Just keep thinking you can lie and live after 👑 🔥

[@camachomic]

Why's there a question mark at the end of the title?

[@RogerHeathers]

Yahhhhhhh!

[@mileswarren3822]

WHAT IS THAT DRUM BREAK!!!!!1

[@nwk-wt3ty]

G.O.A.T

[@daveofthematthews]

Along with Crooked I, Black Thought is one of the most underrated MC's ever.

[@ervinkahorere849]

Can somebody give a link to his materials, mixtapes or albums , please I've digging hard but to no avail..

[@ervinkahorere849]

[@kevinkerbs1001]

[@jasonx9272]

[@DougM_BDXL]

[@0pda]

[@beastmode1980434]

Top 5.....if not Numero Uno

[@Tariqdf1]

Black Thought has BEEN the best in the game. Crazy underrated.

[@reggiebushjr619]

yo what drum break is this?

[@tysonandrews4611]

***** Yea that's 14KT

[@TheSomnambule]

Sway went absolutely nuts over Lecrae, Logic, King Los, Kendrick, Schoolboy Q, and so many more. How could he not go insane over BT? He just laid out one of the best lyrical freestyles dropped on Sway's show ever.

[@taumagalahi]

I think it's more that Sway has known Thought so long and what he's capable of, it doesn't surprise him how amazingly dope Thought. Whereas, with The New Jacks, the youngbloods their just coming into their own and earning their stripes impressing him so they have more to prove and he's just seeing what they're what they're made of freestyle-wise.

[@oliverbyrd7277]

The best part about watching blackthought freestyles on video, is seeing the looks on peoples faces as he lays it down. A lot of rappers have a couple good little punchlines, but BT will suck the air right out of your chest with his lyricism.

[@jasonx9272]

It really would behoove you to @blackthought Doubt me

[@carlyapple2535]

In the words of Mos Def, "that's some Lennon and McCartney shit." For every beat, Thought bounces a word. For every syllable, Quest is ready to add an effect. I'm pretty sure NO ONE appreciates these guys. Even you.

[@jarviselmerhath7769]

I was hoping Quest would actually lay something nice down

[@monex5]

WHAT IN THE HOLY F*CK!!! All that is left is to slam the mike and walk off-stage. Damn this dude..He kilt (yes kilt) it!

[@dpalma3623]

Black Thought got rhymes for days.
