Black Thought is like the final boss no one ever defeats

The features russ managed to get on this project are absurd, it's like a tribute to hip hop

BlackThought’s voice control is just too superb.

Black makes it just unfair. My man is on a level that normal humans can’t attain. Dude is straight celestial.

"from the cards I was dealt, to rewards on my shelf, I turned scars to a sense of regard for myself" flames

BlackThought just continued where he left off from that EPIC FunkFlex Freestyle🔥🔥🔥

Black Thought went off..." As if I'd ever consider the sky above as a limit"

Benny is CRAZY but DAMN Black Thought started levitating in the booth and emitting Gamma Rays.

Black Thought one of the greatest ever! Sheeeesh!!! 🎤 #bars

"I might drop 2 platinum albums in 1 year like DMX" 🔥

"My career is a course in self confidence and how ownership leads to opulence" Fire bars right there!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

HE GOT BENNY THE BUTCHER ON THIS.... hell yeah !!! 🔥🤩🤯

"your very own shadow leaves you when it's dark out" :O

Black Thought on another level 🤯

"I turned scars into a sense of regard for myself".. Hard.

_"Cuz if I'm taking y’all’s advice I'm probably making y’all’s mistakes"_

Black Thought, this man is unstopable.

Millions Worth of Games brought me here I’m a new Russ fan

"Black Thought, Top 5 Rappers All Time." - Dylan Hot fire. 9th Wonder needs to be recognized as one of the most original producers on Earth. Russ goes hard.

Black Thought lifting his crown even further out of reach

Black Thought verse was absolutely insane, all of them did they thing but damn Thought really went in this song is 🔥

Black Thought tho😯😯🔥🔥🔥🔥😬

Black Thought!! 🔥🔥🔥 one of the best verses I’ve ever heard

There have been about 107 Billion who have lived on Earth, and none of them raps as good as Black Thought.

RUSS IS Consistent AF

BlackThought's verse was intense man, Jesus. Everybody killed it obviously. BT made me rewind 3 times though. He's too good for this world people. Blessed to have him here with us. Appreciate these artists while we have em here with us. I know everyone here listening does.

Russ finally gave me what I wanted, a rap project without any melodic verses.

"Im a money tree, women wana swallow my seed, you wasnt with me at my roots tho"

I feel like im in the early 2000s ! bro this is fire !!!!!!!!! the amount of vibes from this. I think Russ achieved an insane positive mind state where his music just becomes golden. Much respect brother, keep it coming !

[Intro: Russ] Yeah, yeah [Verse 1: Russ] Don’t compare me to employees who hopin' they see a check I’m in a drop top McLaren just hopin' I see an ex She hopin' we reconnect, no chance I’m tryna be bigger than the Beatles, not hold hands Keep on throwing stones, I'ma make statues No face tats, but people got my face tattooed Freeing the damned by being free as I am And speaking belief into people sittin' with reason to stand Who just might be needing a hand, I got you 9th Wonder blessed, provided the gospel I feel God-like, my fans all feel like apostles Model your mind after mine and you gon' be just fine Model your mind off these other guys and you gon' die That’s why I’m always at the head of the table, follow my lead I'm a money tree, women tryna swallow my seed You wasn’t with me at my roots, though I’ve been on a quest for love for women with a Roots fro And potential like a JUCO Athlete, catch me in the backseat with ass cheeks on my lap We in Utah, so we fuck to a jazz beat It’s actually therapeutic, she classy, I’m Ferris Bueller Swimming out in Turks and Caicos, beware of the barracudas I got heart, I’m the cause, my life is just the effect I’m altering my reality, living in VFX Made a half million dollars, then fell asleep on a jet Fuck the club up, Atlanta ain’t seen this since BMF Told my accountant, "Reinvest," gotta pound of weed for stress I might drop two platinum albums in a year like DMX Keep on living in my light and let my faith just lead the way 'Cause if I’m taking y'alls advice, I’m probably making y’alls mistakes Instead, I’m out in Egypt, just baskin in the results Of listening to myself and mappin' out all my goals, uh My career is a course in self-confidence And how ownership leads to opulence, adjust your oculus If you tryna rise to prominence Bust down the doors, assert dominance when you call your first conference I’m honest with my women, that’s probably why they all hate me They focused on bein' Lori, I’m focused on bein' Jay-Z The run that I’m on is gonna be longer than the Euphrates Gotta super model chick that’s badder than Tom Brady’s Rap game bunch of clowns in disguise like John Gacy You got one plaque, and it’s not even your song, I got eighty Lately, y’all are lazy, waitin' to be carried Lotta y’all are dead, you just waitin to be buried Listen, I’ve been hot since Michelle and Barack You out your mind if you think I’m gon' stop, ha [Chorus: Russ] I didn't come this far to only come this far I gotta, keep momentum swingin', keep momentum swingin' I didn't come this far to only come this far I gotta, keep momentum swingin', keep momentum swingin' [Verse 2: Benny The Butcher] Conversation alone in the mirror (Uh-huh) I told myself before the year up (Before this year over) I'd be another homeowner and another millionaire, uh (Facts) My life crazy, but I'm way too busy to tear up (Too busy) Just please keep them broke vibes from near us (Walk away from me) We different, I'm not the one to converse (Uh-huh) By the time you mumble your verse I'll be in top five company, comfortably, gunnin' for first (First) If it's rap or either trap, one gon' come with some perks The other comin' with a six foot hole dug in the earth (Damn) Look, I know how them numbers lookin', I don't gotta check stats (I don't do that) The pussy good, but I'll still never text back (Nah) Being unsigned ain't never changed my potential With every wave of a pencil, a nigga gaining momentum Wanna walk in my shoes, but I'm not trading my Christians For Crocs (Never) but lil' rap niggas only cravin' attention It's funny when you hot (Funny, uh), but it's ugly when you not Everybody doubt, then suddenly you pop (Pop) Niggas sign them 360s, and hope it do something for their stock But I turned on more money than I got, and that's a lot Had patience and it helped, I remember thinkin', "Make it big" Then decorate the crib with paintings of myself 'Cause that who I owe (That's who) You gotta give yourself credit, they definitely won't (They won't give you shit) You won't hear this flow so often, so treasure these quotes As far as cheddar, we know enough plugs with bricks That I'd probably never be broke I'm used to not gettin' sleep, that's a twenty-four hour business Exercisin' my brain like 24 Hour Fitness Haters look at my jewels, get the feel of resentment Feelin' like I'm 'posed to buy they friendship (What?)

I'm monetized like more Morgan Stanley I'm in a position now to make a difference for the family My wife, kids, and in-laws deserve Renoirs Picassos and Warhols distressing my memoirs About the knowledge of experiences I've endured Create the bars, full of information like SIM cards I left court rooms as a defendant, fully acquitted In spite of the bloodsuckers who try sully my image And fightin' with motherfuckers who tried to tell me I'm finished As if I'd ever consider the sky above as a limit When I am the scientific, my honor, I'm dying with 'em Iconic, gifted, it's rare and requires a fairly different Kind of spirit, far as inner feelings, I ain't tryna hear it Bein' fearless how I'm pioneered into a higher tier If I am peerless, I guess I am here 'cause ain't nobody near me On a pyramid and I'm adhering to the game theory I maintain, momentum and I made a name clearly But I can't stop, I believe it's no rest for the wary From the cards I was dealt, to awards on my shelf I turned scars to a sense of regard for myself Based on where I set the bar, I made it hard for myself I lent the hand before my brothers called for my help When I was still an inspiring, gun right for the firing Tryna find a part-time job site that was hirin' Never concerned with the age or the height requirements Tryna shake the ways of the hood, like the violence Watchin' the homies being forced into early retirement I'm stuck as another product of their environment I was told that achievement of goal starts to tryin' at The prize, keep your eye on the hard work, rely on it And nothing else, don't just hustle for your health Fear they gon' do nothing for you until you secure your wealth Focus on the top, I've been hot since before crack rock You out your mind if you think I'ma stop, yo Chorus: Russ] I didn't come this far to only come this far I gotta, keep momentum swingin', keep momentum swingin' I didn't come this far to only come this far I gotta, keep momentum swingin', keep momentum swingin'

Man, I've been sleeping on Russ, tbh was only here for Benny and Black Thought but damn Russ got bars 🔥🥵

"CHOMP" is just a big statement from RUSS... For everybody not to forget him in the HIPHOP conversation... Even though he's good at making "money-making songs" he is definitely a superb rapper also, with bars for days and all the other lyricist in the game knows that already, but this is not for them. This is for the other peope, that think that he ain the one with STR8 FIRE BAR$$$$. This whole "CHOMP" drop is a calculated move by RUSS, like everything he does. Mad respect for this guys HUSTLE and SKILL.

I wish black thought's verse wouldn't stop.

That loop gives this song the whole nostalgia factor

Russ /Benny /and Black thought bodied this 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I turned scars into a sense of regard for myself.

"Keep on throwing stones, I'ma make statues No face tats but people got my face tattooed" sheesh... 😳🔥🔥🔥🔥

Black Thought is insane 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I thought Benny killed it until I got middway through Black Thoughts verse ..r u Kidding me

Black Thought has the best verse every song he’s on

Not familiar with Russ but his bars were lit. I love how Benny stays with Black Thought. BT is one of the best lyricist out so that shows me Benny is interested in learning and growing. His bars have been getting better and better.

BLACK THOUGHT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Russ and Benny never stood a chance... Black Thought the 🐐

This giving some 00's nostalgia vibes

Listeeeeen all three of them brung it, but Black Thought is just NOT HUMAN, period.😩😩

Benny got on this track fully knowing that Black Thought would burn the booth down. CRAZY RESPECT to Benny and Russ for this move!!!!!

Russ got the butcher & the thought on a song?!? That's a big move.

The "I'm on a pyramid adhering to game theory." Is some scientific ass bars. That man is literally a genius

I wasn't even checkin' for Russ until this track. I'll listen to anything with Thought, Benny, and 9th Wonder on it. Russ holds his own too.

Thought with one the greatest verses ever

Solid EP Russ, salute homie.

There isn't a bad verse on this track and EVEN STILL, Black Thought KILLED IT, it's not surprising that Black had that the last verse on the last song of the EP that how you anchor a track.

“Turned down more money than what i got” 💪🏼

This Man Only Make Fire

Black Thought is the epimty of grown man rap . Bars are like verses from ( religious book )

The QuestLove and Roots reference with Black Thought on the track is why Russ is where Russ is.

It's actually therapeutic, she classy, I'm Ferris Bueller.

Russ brought damn near brought all the Hip Hop Heavyweights and Legends on this EP. He really did it for the culture with this project.

Black Thought just casually dropped the greatest verse of all time on this track most will never hear…

It’s actually therapeutic, she classy, I’m Ferris Bueller Swimming out in Turks and Caicos, beware of the barracudas I got heart, I’m the cause, my life is just the effect I’m altering my reality, living in VFX Made a half million dollars, then fell asleep on a jet Fuck the club up, Atlanta ain’t seen this since BMF Told my accountant, "Reinvest," gotta pound of weed for stress I might drop two platinum albums in a year like DMX” -Russ 🔥 🔥 R.I.P. X

Model your mind off mine, you gone be just fine.... #truth

Russ won me over with this latest project!!! Dude can go!

Wow wow woW Thank you for this! 🔥

This actually...happened. Wow. I'm stumped for words. This collabo HARD sun!!!!!!!!

one of the hardest beats to come out of the past decade at least, nice job 9th Wonder

The beat! The bars! Its so incredible and refreshing to hear real rappers really rapping! It hurts my soul that this is not the mainstream anymore.

"The Prize keep your eye on it, Hard work rely on it"... This is so significant!

I saw this, and had no knowledge of its existence. Yo everybody delivered. Black Thought as always bugged out on this shit. Damn just when I think I heard his dopest bars yet then I hear this, and this is old. The consistency is insane. More people need to put more respect on his name.

Sample is just amazing, cant stop listening

My top 5 rappers are: 1) Black Thought 2) Bad Lieutenant 3) Riq Geez 4) Tariq Trotter 5) The man from The Roots Crew

That black thought verse tho 🚀🚀🚀🚀

I got pinched a few years back and just came to this, its so needed peace king

Damn thought I'm mesmerized by the best rapper ever

This shit inspires me to another level. I know he has to drop the catchy songs for the women but this the shit that makes me go in the booth and take my craft to another level. This is perfection

don't sleep on 9th Wonder's production

Black Thought's verse is incredible. So inspirational. So many quotables.

Only other MC missing from this 🔥 EP is AZ. If you know, you know. 💯

I turned scars to a sense of regard for myself...keep momentum swingen. I never asked anyone's permission to be an artist. I live in the world of internet where the people tell me I am. I know I am. Russ thank you. Your music scraped me off the floor over and over. Maybe some day you will see the art that came to be because you shed a light on a path of possible.

Benny the Butcher, Russ, Black Thought on deck Fire 🔥

Benny said his watch needs a lampshade! Lotta rappers talk about their watch. He just hit'em all with that line...

This has literally been on repeat for days now

Tarik Trotter gotta be on the top 5 alive though for real. He's probably one of your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper. Big ups to Benny The Butcher, too. Spittin real shit, these guys. And nuff respect to Russ for putting so much notable work together so successfully. I hope they all keep doing their thing. Making that momentum swing. Bless up!

Thought is the top tier. He is what rappers aspire to. Hes so good that he forces rappers into their prime off a feature and then still steals the track. GOAT

Not gonna lie , The Gods blessing this guy with lyrics and verses.... Keep believing guys

“I lent a hand before my brothers call for my help”

"my house needs a damm maid, my watch needs a lamp shade"..........yash

Can y'all suggest me more songs like this? This is when a lyrical masterpiece meets wisdom

GOD DAMN BLACK THOUGHT 🥺

Everyone snapped. This that underdogs "3-Kings" they should have named it that

Russ nice job getting some real MCs who respect the mic and care about the artform on a cd. Dope man. Keep doing your thing with more artists like this.

The fuck was that Black Thought verse, syllable work was outta this world. That man is on another level

"Based on where I set the bar I make it hard for myself*" - Thought... Plz man 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Jesus is the way the truth and the life. God sent his only begotten Son so that you can have everlasting life. Place your faith in Jesus. Trust Jesus. Jesus Christ. Jesus saves. Jesus conqueres. Calvary Cross. The Blood. Salvation. Gospel. Heaven or hell God bless you all.

Gmorning with this music

Every verse thought spit is Legendary!!!!!

Black thought Murdered every verse of 2020 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

After listening to this song 4583 times Iv come to the conclusion Russ got the best verse out of the 3. No 🧢

The love I have for this man is unexplainable he showed them he could do it and is on top keep going Russ! 🥳

Black Thought I will never forget this verse💪🏽

Damn. Bars. I'm impressed with Benny's ability to not explicitly reference guns or drugs and still body his verse. Well orchestrated, Russ.
