[@GetGlamFam]

“I said Red Lobster so you betta take it off!” Lol I was thinking the same thing! 😂

[@johnadamson5552]

not a lot of the watchers of the show realize Tariq has been one of the best lyricists in rap for a long ass time, love when he gets to shine like this

[@rinasweetness]

John Adamson it’s a shame if people still don’t know who Black Thought is. It’s been 10 years already since Jimmy’s been with The Roots.

[@thishaan1225]

Real shit. This guys a living legend and these guys don't even know it

[@AriWonder]

Have you seen his Hot97 freestyle?

[@thishaan1225]

AriWonder yeah I did. It was one of the best freestyles ever. He rapped for 10 minutes straight and he isn't even that young. Bars on bars. Pure 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@KaizerMan]

Serina G. Only Americans watch Jimmy Fallon regularly though really but The Roots are heard worldwide so their placement on Jimmy Fallon isn’t really the deciding factor on whether they should be known

[@ScarlettJ1221]

I love Letitia, I hope to see her in more movies she is an incredible actress

[@BmptheMvp]

ScarlettP idk if you have seen it, but she was in an episode of Black Mirror!

[@aegonn7822]

She appears for like a second in Ready Player One xD.

[@creativecookies_2492]

ScarlettP i see u every where

[@RandomramaOAlabama]

She’s in Urban Hymn x

[@IsaacMaganaMusic]

I loved her in Black Mirror, one of my fav episodes.

[@Brook11223]

Letitia Wright is a breakout star. The Freestyle rap she did behind scene during Black Panther was amazing.

[@TheEverythingPodcastNY]

She amazing 💕

[@kevinrobinson5283]

Raghu Seetharaman you profile pic tells me a lot about you.

[@ZacharyJohnG]

what rap??? I've seen it 3x and don't remember that...

[@TINKERB121]

Behind the scenes not in the movie

[@dynamiictv6109]

YOU AGAIN

[@ThoseTwoBrits1]

SHE'S MULTITALENTED!

[@scarletwidows]

omg i see you guys in the comments of the most random videos

[@nickknitt]

Why?

[@scarletwidows]

Kronos92 um

[@witchplease9695]

Kronos92 Z actually its extremely common, we're known to be more talented than whites. Sorry. Your ilk still can't keep rhythm lmao

[@objecthead373]

Kronos92 hahahaha without black people you’re teeth would still be crusty like your ancestors🤷🏽‍♀️

[@ambriaashley3383]

"I said Red Lobster, you better tick it off..." lol

[@JeremyUni]

Was not expecting Jimmy to stunt like that at the end. Latitia is really talented as well!

[@FreakieFan]

Jeremy Uni Jimmy's rap was clearly pre-written for him. He probably practiced it a lot too.

[@nollson]

Guido Anselmi no

[@JeremyUni]

Written or not, was still unexpected!

[@robertramos8676]

3:20 "Benedict Cumberbatch" comes up. Letitia: The "Burrito" one is gonna be difficult.

[@rickysimmons4220]

Should’ve said “spittin this flow from my cranium, flexing on em harder than a shield made of vibranium”

[@nathantl2070]

ricky simmons no one cares

[@doom007ltk]

could rymed vibranium wth stallion but pronounced it li stayllian

[@acrylicgodoy]

I love it!!!

[@Tweetyresm]

Don't listen to haters. Your lines flow together fine. BARS.

[@interdimensional3563]

@Ides94 My Cranium rhymes perfectly with Vibranium.

[@PrincessRiners]

wow this was unexpectedly epic LOL

[@kelisefields886]

PrincessRiners ikr

[@TheMohannad100]

Tariq is one of the best freestyl'st ever

[@PYSTOLWHIP-The-Insane-Raider]

No doubt

[@DanteZzZ]

*rappers ever

[@archol6596]

Big L is the best

[@ajpark6938]

LIN MANUEL MIRANDA

[@hanoali3885]

Shout-out to my man Tariq, such a legend🔥🔥

[@goldyshergill5968]

Hano Ali I

[@kindyeisisj8066]

Top 3 of all time.

[@silmsadie]

Funny cuz in my language Tariq means legend, story.

[@hanoali3885]

silmsadie guess it's meant to be🤷

[@shafiq5092]

Her accent is beautiful😀😄

[@thebronzescribe2793]

a mix of a Guyanese and a British accent

[@jessicaayo5035]

J.D. West nah it's just a london accent tbh

[@user-kd4ql5xr2q]

It’s a London accent

[@sara78889]

She has style tho

[@FoodforThought12345678dsds]

she doesn't have an accent, It's called english, what you're meant to sound like

[@HealthySelfNThrive]

Letitia is my favorite celeb right now. She's absolutely killing it. I love how down to earth and chill she is

[@Raje_Hudson]

Jimmy acting like he didn't practice

[@wakandafrappuccinos6456]

poet hudson not easy to rap I tired to rap once I fail

[@TrollsAndScrolls]

They all practiced, not really freestyle

[@aligomaa7931]

@@TrollsAndScrolls nah she didn't for sure

[@mayaleex3]

She is my favorite!!!

[@emxne_]

Who's Jimmy's ghost-writer??

[@caramama1731]

emxne 😂😂

[@FreakieFan]

emxne Probably Tariq 😂

[@naturalQueeP]

Leticia Wright obviously.

[@ClassyJazzy]

Guido Anselmi I agree, was thinking the same thing lol

[@djoyvee]

That's what I think! He was smiling too hard! Hahaha

[@ScarlettJ1221]

4:17 Jimmy did that!!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@Jed_Elias]

ScarlettP Sorry, but that rap was better than Letitia’s and Tariq’s freestyle, COMBINED.

[@ahmadsyed2394]

Probably staged

[@FreakieFan]

Jedidiah Elias It was clearly pre-written by probably someone else.

[@Fureth32]

Idk he used to be quick witted and could improv quite well so I wouldn't doubt he did it. I mean he basically had double the time to do it since she used the same words.

[@LewisHerd]

lmao you really think someone wrote that shit beforehand? its pretty basic so i reckon he just thought of some rhymes while letitia was freestyling.

[@browtf4796]

Wait why did I just realize she’s the girl from Black Mirror?!?!

[@vanessapaez6841]

Belen Morales wait, what?? from what episode?

[@retrowho9174]

Vanessa Paez Black Museum (from Series 4)

[@aardvark2520]

You mean the black girl from the mirror

[@HealthySelfNThrive]

Yeah the girl with the fake British accent lol I loved her in that.

[@littlemixlyrics6613]

I loved that episode!

[@jerrodp9867]

I just wanted to say she is awesome ... and since I'm here ... if,you happen to read this I hope you have a great week. Carry on.

[@soneras7820]

Jerrod P thanks

[@yOgZ8]

I love Letitia Wright . She is so humble. This was dope

[@mahnoortariq4739]

Finally some of Letita's famous raps! Been waiting for this since I heard about her famous rap battles on the set of Black Panther!!

[@anonymouscorgi_4990]

Lookin' like a true Wakandan princess. 😍💪

[@sherylsimmons8111]

anxiousicecream _ Yes she does! Beautiful! (:

[@anonymouscorgi_4990]

Sheryl Simmons yasssss 😬

[@kayodeadedeji3861]

Can't explain in words just how proud and inspired I am to see how far Letitia's come...to think around 4.5 years ago we were serving paninis, clearing tables and mopping floors together to what is now an international superstar inspiring far and wide retaining the humility and awesomeness that's always been there. MUCH LOVE!!! ❤ 💯👌 WAKANDA FOREVER!!!

[@ankhanhle4912]

She has came so far

[@77Creation]

Nice. 🫡

[@aaronaguilar3354]

I really love how much she loves her character in the marvel universe! Really looking forward to seeing more of her in the MCU! Everyone killed it here btw!

[@louisfreeman9551]

BlackThought is a national treasure

[@samanthakeith8214]

I can’t believe jimmy was brave enough to to that. I mean that was his first time doing a rap battle. That was the best that I ever seen him do it. Finally

[@fayebuckley8988]

Samantha Keith it was clearly scripted lmao

[@purplesummer03]

Samantha Keith haha it was blatantly scripted. stop trying to be so extra

[@TheBigOxUchia]

So we’re just going to act normal when Black Thought rhymes anything with *Snuffleupagus*?

[@GTanya07]

Jimmy did good 🔥🔥🔥

[@nollson]

twistedblktrekie nah

[@valm9697]

I love your profile picture

[@GTanya07]

Pessie thank you, i like yours too 😁

[@megpruden20]

No. Teriq did good and Lewis's first one was good.

[@BowlWithKing]

Jimmy killed! 😂 and I love this girl... and we all know Black Thought is the only one that can pull off any type of freestyle in ONE take!

[@trevorcunningham8687]

I'm impressed with this girl's flow! An she knew the rules of Hip Hop when she said you bit my bars. Being 46 an coming from The Bronx I can tell she has what it takes to really do something in Hip Hop if she really tried!

[@dlweiss]

She's just so damn cool. :)

[@remedeebeats5384]

I love Letitia Wright, she's so humble and genuine. However, having said that, Black Thought's freestyle was fire!

[@javiera1090]

I LOVE LETITIA

[@VoldemortRockoEdge]

OMG Our princess, our Queen Shuri 😍

[@aliyahukaye]

Jimmy I'm shook

[@megpruden20]

Aliyah Ukaye Yes and I'm shaking my head.

[@robinbuckleyfan3083]

It's I'm shooketh

[@Elanel]

I like how he joined in at the end to make her feel better, but then did some good rhymes, lol.

[@justin33.44]

So after Black Thought gave Letitia the #WakandaForever gesture, I loved Black Thought’s reaction after when he put his hand on his chest. She clearly did the gesture back to him and he was so flattered and taken back by the fact that some from Black Panther did the sign to him. WAKANDA FOREVER 🙅🏽‍♂️

[@pyongpyongii5609]

This is why Jimmy is my fav😂thanks jimmy for inviting tisha💜🤭

[@cuteashish16]

C'mon, man. Who you think you're messin' with? Tariq is a legend!

[@pantsdudney8404]

I LOVE BLACK PANTHER

[@TheDiagnoser]

For the non hip hop heads who don’t know, Black Thought is a legend.

[@pbjames]

Letitia is such an amazing celebrity to interview, so much charisma

[@Sharon-zu7oq]

Drop the Mic Jimmy...hes got some mean rappin skills...who knew? 🎤

[@FreakieFan]

a little hot sax fallon It was clearly pre-written for him. He probably practiced it a lot too.

[@asall727]

Guido Anselmi stop copying and pasting this every where. Especially since you have no idea

[@FreakieFan]

It was clearly pre-written for him. He probably practiced it a lot too.

[@Sharon-zu7oq]

Guido Anselmi and your point is? In other words, so what if it was?

[@FreakieFan]

Kind of defeats the point of a FREESTYLE rap doesn't it?

[@destinyupchurch]

I’m the one, you know I got that glamour. Don’t you come after me cause I come down like Thors hammer. Yeah, you know that’s how we go. A wrap, some beans, some cheese. What’s that, a burrito? Imma have to hit you with that cabbage patch. Ain’t nobody touching my mans Benedict Cumberbatch! And imma have to end it right here, cause Jimmy, I think I just ended your mans career. (Thank you so much follow me on Twitter @cherylblozz)

[@selenahairston9802]

Destiny U that was really good damn

[@stormyphillips251]

Letitia's such a good sport, I love watching interviews with her. She seems like so much fun. XD
