This is the type of freestyle that requires two videos. One, a real first listen. And a longer second one to dissect the bars.

Isn't it exhausting and mentally draining trying to fully appreciate his exceptional wordplay? Every time I re-watch it, I find something that, I missed the first 1000X😅. His talent is asolutely criminal!.

DJ Vlad said Black Thought wasn’t in his top 5. Black Thought contacted Funk Flex to prove him wrong…

He was 44 when he did this. That's old in hip hop terms but he's a middle aged man at the top of his game. He had a very rough younger life. Maybe that's what you're hearing. Whatever the case, the man is a genius, super well-read, with a ton of reference points to draw on. It's some next level shite. When he was coming up, everyone had to prove themselves. That was part of being successful. The man has worked for everything he's got. He is not gonna just lay back in the cut. The Talented Mr. Trotter indeed.

All these new dumb rappers pissed him off. He had to set the record straight and let people know what real hip hop is.

“Just because they give you shit don’t mean you have to take it.” is a BAR!! 🔥 Heavy double-entendre that went right over my head the first two or three times

The art of free-styling...He took the story full circle..Starting From a body dead in the car....to finishing with telling a story like fingerprints and blood splatter...!! He really just wanted to show what it's like for an OG who still has the ability to crash any record....Someone who love's the art...and he also heard a vlogger (Vlad) question his ability and place in the top rappers....

lets goooooooooo, thats one of the ancestors right there

Thought has the ability to spit bars at u like... he is having a conversation with u... by the time u hear the bars, u realize he just talking at u with that hood eloquence...

It was Vlad that did this so thank him for that.🤣🤣🤣🤣

i still aint heard a flow touch this since...

You being speechless is the ultimate reaction

And a lot of people have no idea what a Flor De Lis is.....

definition of an emcee

I think modern rappers pissed him off "Yo the game went its own route. I can't explain what these lame kids is talmbout. Or how they fit they whole foot into they own mouth."

Them sound effects is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

GREAT REACTION!!! BLACK THOUGHT IS AN ALIEN!!! NOT OF THIS WORLD!!!!!

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Props for respecting the god tier skills of Black Thought 🔥 The Roots albums Illadelph Half-life and Things Fall Apart are classics. Very worth listening to in full. You were on point with your comment that someone must have pissed him off. If you want to know why he was pissed, this is why (DJ Vlad debated Lord Jamar, another OG, that BT wasn’t a GOAT tier MC): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p8-ZnZB6y82mmqs.html Vlad reawakened a sleeping dragon. BT has been cranking out fire content ever since.

he atral projected on this one

❤

That was a special shoutout to Dj vlad and his like minded!
