If ever there was someone born to MC, with lyrics flowing through his blood stream...it's Black Thought. If he isn't the greatest to ever do it, then nobody is.
And realize my meteor thrives the power they say my drive 220 miles per hour 16 bars 220 thousand dollars. I lost it when I heard that...damn man! Black thought has always been one of my fav emcees
Notice nobody dared to dislike this! I read that some clown in Chicago tried to battle Black and after he destroyed the dude, the cat was so mad that he threw a blow at my man!
I had dreams like Akira Kurosawa, and realized my meteoric rise to power. They say I drive 220 miles per hour, Sixteen bars: 220 thousand dollars [???] About it, reliant hypnotic, The game full of too many funny clowns and cowards 🎤
I heard this on satellite while it was happenin and ive been laughin at qtip ever since. on some real shit, not many people can freestyle like black thought. shout to buttatones
In my opinion, and I'm a student of hip hop, Thought is undoubtedly the overall greatest on the mic of all time. I would love to hear anybody that disagrees so if u do please reply to this comment and I'd LOVE to have a healthy debate about it.
Black Thought is dope as fuck and has been steadily spitting the highest quality bars for 20 years plus. That being said, I personally prefer Andre 3000 by a fraction. You listen to Outkast's 90s albums? His ability is off the hook.
the best emcee ever - other brothers pale in comparison this is the first time i've heard the second part of tariqs lines_ my god_ listen to tip at 5:22, explains it all
I caught the Roots in concert for free in Atlanta back in the day . . . when he does impersonations of other legendary MC's is insane, like G Rap and Kane, booooy' . . .
"I had Dreams like Akira Kurosawa!" DAMN … Kurosawa is so legendary Dreams enlisted the help, help of a few directors you probably heard of Lucas, Coppola, Spielberg and Scorsese.
this man is the best rapper, ever i think/know most of this is written but thats fine because he just steps to the mic and kills it, always qtip embarrassed himself, he was scared as shit thoughts 2nd verse is out of this world
13 years later and this flow is still timeless and this man is just getting better. If he ain't top 5 rapper EVER then we need to throw the whole system out the window. GOAT status for life and after, no question
Good to see I’m not the only who still visits this in 2023. This freestyle is arguably better than the one he did on Flex And, yeah, he is definitely top 5 lyricist of all-time. People often confuse top 5 discography with lyricism. It’s not the same
black is my fav rapper, and most underated EVER! doesnt make any sense for him to be out for at least 15 yrs, spittin like THIS, and never get mention in top 5 ra... excuse me, TOP 3 Hottest Rappers conversations. its a disgrace, but GODDAMN HE KILLED THIS SHIT!!

Category? Not even a different atmosphere, try a different dimension. When you have conscious mc this fly and deadly on the mic, you should get the FOTW. "My state and my government is not the same name" BT Rap City
I know what you mean, but it's still applicable. From wikipedia "Originally, in old school hip hop of the 1980s, the term "freestyle" referred to a pre-written rap verse that was not on any particular subject matter, but rather was written for the purpose of demonstrating skill" So Black Thought gave you one version, and Tip gave you the other either. Either way, thanks for the upload. A lot of talent in that room.
Toca dirty for passing the mic to tip after black thought. Had him rapping in gibberish. Thats like being in a dunk contest with Vince Carter and you do a layup
@bc146 finally, a youtube comment that accurately depicts Lil Wayne and doesn't just say "HURR DURR LIL WAYNE IZ WORST RAPPER EVUR HE KILLED HIP HOP!!!11!1" Very well said. It's quite obvious that Black thought can rap circles around anyone in the genre, especially someone so one-dimensional like Wayne, who's really got nothing besides the occasional clever punchline.
Grinded his way to be THE BEST MC of All Time...I'm talking about real content, fresh rhymes, hard conviction, versatility, and also crazy untouchable Sway (as the kids say)...Go line for line with any other MC over the years NO ONE has the material to Keep up. We aren't talking about sales...Soulja Boy sales...We are talking straight murdering Mics and leaving the listeners better than they were before. Find a wack Black Thought soundbite and I'll stop listening to Hip Hop -_-
most of blackthoughts shit was prethought out... still dope to flow that hard for that long. q tip was just playin around, we all know he got real lyrics. blackthought's shit just hit too hard for q-tip to be comin on... he even said it at the beginning of his shit "but after this shit that tariq spit idk what to do..."
(They say my drive 220,000 miles per hour,16 bars 220,000 thousand dollars!) Bars for days! This dude got niggas SCARED to grab the mic and spit. 99% of rappers don't have a chance to compete with a real MC like this!
Philly is battle tested all we do is freestyle why Cassidy is dope remember freestyling with him on South Street. Beatbox and Rhymes peace to Dice Raw #LoganValley
@ozarp You need to post this like 50 times for people to really realize that "you ain't neva lied" Black Thought has nothing to prove against anyone. He has the money/respect by doing it his way and never selling out as a gimmick I'm still not sure about the Jimmy Fallon gig, but I know he likes acting and all that. But when you put a Mic in his face he goes in BEAST mode channeling the best of the all time greats. Vol tron on the Mic for real.
You're reaching. That's a direct quote, that's easily recognizable by a Hip Hop head who knows of Just Ice, simply because he did it exactly how Ice did it.
![Black Thought & 9th Wonder - Streams of Thought Vol.1 [Full Album]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/aNirkI48Sfw/mqdefault.jpg)
If ever there was someone born to MC, with lyrics flowing through his blood stream...it's Black Thought. If he isn't the greatest to ever do it, then nobody is.
My worst nightmare is battling black thought
WOW spitting after black thought is like trying to give a speech after Martin Luther King.

Can black thought access like 100% of his brain functionality?
I heard this on satellite while it was happenin and ive been laughin at qtip ever since.
on some real shit, not many people can freestyle like black thought. shout to buttatones
Any idea where I can get the Questlove Dilla mix he did in between Tariq's verses? Was so dope but can't find it anywhere
Did he seriously just say, "to watch rappers get smoked, like a nick of time."??? what??? you have got to be kidding me...lyrically, he is flawless.
I think he said Nic O Tine
Greatest MC of all time.

He actually is.

I respect your opinion for real, but my opinion and my opinion only is that Tech is the greatest of all time. Black Thought is top 20 of all time.

In my opinion, and I'm a student of hip hop, Thought is undoubtedly the overall greatest on the mic of all time. I would love to hear anybody that disagrees so if u do please reply to this comment and I'd LOVE to have a healthy debate about it.
Black Thought is dope as fuck and has been steadily spitting the highest quality bars for 20 years plus. That being said, I personally prefer Andre 3000 by a fraction. You listen to Outkast's 90s albums? His ability is off the hook.
Donny Danko where do nas,k.,Busta& kiss fit into the debate?
they all fall below Black Thought, but they are still great MC's. Black Thought's ability is just too great. Besides, BT is their favorite MC.
Gza👐, Big Pun. That's three, Em makes four,One more.
Brandon Bratton He is the best. Did you see his 10 minute funk flex freestyle.
the best emcee ever - other brothers pale in comparison
this is the first time i've heard the second part of tariqs lines_ my god_ listen to tip at 5:22, explains it all
Word
I caught the Roots in concert for free in Atlanta back in the day . . . when he does impersonations of other legendary MC's is insane, like G Rap and Kane, booooy' . . .
Black Thought is the best no dout!
NO ONE CAN FREESTYLE LIKE THIS!!!!
I bet Quest is sittin back like "yeeaahh, we got this on lock".
yep', hands locked behind his afro' and all while sippin' on an umbrella drink, ha'...
"Give me a crystal head vodka with a twist of lime & watch rappers get smoked like a nick of time" *Throws Headphones* Raw Talent!
"I had Dreams like Akira Kurosawa!" DAMN … Kurosawa is so legendary Dreams enlisted the help, help of a few directors you probably heard of Lucas, Coppola, Spielberg and Scorsese.
this man is the best rapper, ever
i think/know most of this is written but thats fine because he just steps to the mic and kills it, always
qtip embarrassed himself, he was scared as shit
thoughts 2nd verse is out of this world
this is why noone disses bt!
the 2nd verse is unbelievable
Black Thought one of the most under rated sickest emcee's ever! Q Tip is a legend also Tony Touch in Hip Hop!
best freestyle flow on earth
13 years later and this flow is still timeless and this man is just getting better. If he ain't top 5 rapper EVER then we need to throw the whole system out the window. GOAT status for life and after, no question
Good to see I’m not the only who still visits this in 2023. This freestyle is arguably better than the one he did on Flex
And, yeah, he is definitely top 5 lyricist of all-time. People often confuse top 5 discography with lyricism. It’s not the same
Black thought madd smooth and has subject matter
Wow this sounds like fresh out of the 90's, which I love... he's still keeping hip hop the way it was.
I know it's been 11 years, but I smoke rappers like a nick of time? Too good.

Full Black Thought lyrics for the first time
[Verse 1: Black Thought]
To the best of my knowledge I guess that I'm fresh
When I manifest
Hold up dog
Yo Tone it's the Jawn
It's the professional
I make your girl get extra low
I'm from south with a border like Mexico
Jaws talking bout they love me like x and o
Cause their man pop early like Plaxico
Not conceptual, unexceptional, hundred dollar bills filled of cocaine residue
Got you off your deed I'm ten steps ahead of you
Fresher than a 1985 fresh festival, live
One time for my hoods and my barrios
Bloods, Crips, Latin Kings, Trinitarios
In the hood staying dipped like Oreos
Even with a Moms on their shit like Marios
From the Illadelph valley side of things
And embalmed in my words in the Valley of the Kings
When I finish y'all, I ring alarms like Tenor Saw
And rage war with a Renascence, ya'll better get it far
Rest in Peace, J. Dilla
The Legendary Roots Crew from the city of Philla
Yup, mines the math
Though I rocks the mic and never got to past
But I got your ass
Listen, uh
Well, I'm a legend in my own time
Look at y'all, just a legend in your own mind
I let the drum talk to me cause it don't lie
A lot of rappers try to kill it but they don't die
Keep them coming back and feel it like a throatpie
La vida loca, from something toke to this
Grand Imperial, hall of fame material
Black, general 215, name rank and cereal
My thing highly flammable
I bang like a hammer do
Swine flu, bird flu, and every type of animal
I'm immune to Tamiflu
I'll be God Damn if you
Insane and bananas too
My bling is intangible
Well it's the Jet Li
I'm working on your requiem
Step in a party everybody scream, "That's him!"
I push a fast BM
Black gray Gatsby and
My gats be in the
Belfry that the bats be in
A box is what you never gonna catch me in
If this the last day and times nigga
Cash in
Yep
Looks like a job for a conquerer
Top mr third Mr swerve mr popular
You kinda finished
Can't see it with binoculars
Rather have a fish bone lodged in your esophogus
You ever heard of the world?
I'm on top of this
Still the most properest
Y'all know what the gospel is
Bless the child
I ain't wind up a x-file
After {???} self imposed exile
I reimerged cut from a different textile
They say i'm just wild
Waiting on my next trial
I've always been the nigga with the most fresh style
In '98 I rocked what you copped just now
I had dreams like Akira Kurosawa
And realized my meteoric rise to power
They say I drive 220 miles per hour
Sixteen bars: 220 thousand dollars
[???]About it
Reliant hypnotic
The game full of too many funny clowns and cowards
Look
Son of a'slam aleikum
I'm an abomination
A marijuana patient
With Grammy nominations
If everything and everybody in their proper places
Black Thought is out his mind he on that outer space shit
Spotted on the red carpet steppin' out a space ship
With a glass of shiraz and two around the way chicks
Nowadays don't nobody say shit
You don't want to see me get up on my modern day shit
Try to tell you Thought's dangerous
Can't nobody hang with this Great
Translated into 80 different languages

Fresh
[Verse 2: Black Thought]
Don’t even worry ‘bout it
My legendary stylin’
Between Harry Belafonte and Harry Allen
I’m from a city where it’s violent and it’s overcrowded
I put it on the map, y’all ain’t even know about it
I brought the poet out it
The soul flowin’ out it
Make it hard to figure how y’all managed to go without it
A mic with a cord, I never do a show without it
When dealin’ with fraud I lift ‘em up and throw it out
I know the way to go the route
Show you what a soldier ‘bout
Big boy arms I’m holdin’ out
Clips foldin’ out
Used to be a little snotnose but I’m older now
You can try what you want, I’ll tell you what I don’t allow
Fuck all the running round
You on a hunting ground
You spit a hundred bars
I spit a hundred rounds
You run a hundred yards
Trynna get outta bounds
That’s when I tackle y’all and show you how the thunder sounds
Bang ya, as we approach the danger
Rhymes that invoke your anger
And I ain’t know the music was supposed to change us
But when I start spitting it is so contagious
It smokes the pages
I literally spoke to sages
They said it’s no hope to save us
Because we the bad guys, you supposed to blame us
Cause nowadays everybody close to famous
But stop modellin’
The wild scholars in the wind like an halogen
Y’all motherfuckers can forget about challengin’
I blind rappers like a magnified Halogen
You trynna tussle with the truth, how about it then
I am lightyears beyond not behind the line
I will separate store from truly divine
Give me a crystal head vodka with a twist of lime
And watch rappers get smoked like a nick of time
I will put you in a body bag, pick a time
I will bring it to your doorstep, kick a rhyme
Niggas sick but they ain’t near sick as I am
Rappers is slick but they ain’t near slick as I am
I don’t give a fly
Niggas stop signifying
Stop cowering, be a man and die dignified
I’m that insecticide, pesticide, genocide
You in the morgue absolutely identified
But nope I won’t do it in the name of love
Until I’ve given it my all and it just ain’t enough
See even winters gettin’ realer than they say it was
Straighten up, who afraid of what?
Play your good and ball
Yeah
You work hard til you’re better off
24/7, 365 never off
Look at me I’m nocturnal I don’t sleep
Eyes, heavy bags and crows feet, we won’t be
Stopped, I don’t work then I won’t sleep
Time keep flowing like a river that don’t cease
In the mind of a super nigga there’s no peace
Can’t stop running like I’m ducking the police
Yeah
Cruely how they try to do me like cochise
Flow so obese, I’m springing a slow leak
I keep a crowd satisfied like bringing them cold heat
Yo, you’re the pits/Pitts like Angela Jolie
Stop, stop
You know the camera’s is goin’ see
Wolves lookin’ at me like them cannons ain’t on me
Please, you ain’t dealin’ with no amateurs homie
Philly ain’t known for cheesesteak sandwiches only
Yeah,
Climbed to the top, man I was lonely
Everybody didn’t need mugging like Nick Nolte
But no, I won’t stop, won’t drop, won’t retire
I’m my own supplier selling goods to the buyer
The torch to the eye of the storm, on fire
Jawns trynna give me birthday sex, like Jeremiah
Hittin’ me up on Facebook
I replied, denied
Tell me I’m in the top 5
They ain’t never lie
Picture me in that Peking to Paris with a ride
It cost 2 to 5
Them doors suicide
Yeah,
Testing Thought that will be your suicide
No matter which corner of the globe you reside
Listen,
215, dumb shit aside
When it come to the job getting done, what am I?
I’m the god of the microphone praise the lord
Anybody disagree with me come raise your sword
I’m agent orange, poisonous amazing pawns
And the band keeps raging on
Well listen
And yo, I don’t stop
No, I don’t quit
No, I don’t stop
No, I don’t quit
No, I don’t stop
No, I don’t quit
I've said this before...Thought ain't in my top 5 but i don't want no one in my 5 to have to see him. Dude's an animal.
oskamadison this is the best description of thought ive read. Well said.
Thought is in a different category altogether.
1. Black Thought
2. God
Category? Not even a different atmosphere, try a different dimension. When you have conscious mc this fly and deadly on the mic, you should get the FOTW. "My state and my government is not the same name" BT Rap City
Grand Master MC...top.5. any list....
top 3 emcees of ALL TIME!
I listen to this weekly to get amped about HIp Hop nowadays.
My speakers are smoking after this flamethrower! Thought top 3!
I know what you mean, but it's still applicable.
From wikipedia "Originally, in old school hip hop of the 1980s, the term "freestyle" referred to a pre-written rap verse that was not on any particular subject matter, but rather was written for the purpose of demonstrating skill"

Grinded his way to be THE BEST MC of All Time...I'm talking about real content, fresh rhymes, hard conviction, versatility, and also crazy untouchable Sway (as the kids say)...Go line for line with any other MC over the years NO ONE has the material to Keep up. We aren't talking about sales...Soulja Boy sales...We are talking straight murdering Mics and leaving the listeners better than they were before. Find a wack Black Thought soundbite and I'll stop listening to Hip Hop -_-
most of blackthoughts shit was prethought out... still dope to flow that hard for that long. q tip was just playin around, we all know he got real lyrics. blackthought's shit just hit too hard for q-tip to be comin on... he even said it at the beginning of his shit "but after this shit that tariq spit idk what to do..."
(They say my drive 220,000 miles per hour,16 bars 220,000 thousand dollars!) Bars for days! This dude got niggas SCARED to grab the mic and spit. 99% of rappers don't have a chance to compete with a real MC like this!
Philly is battle tested all we do is freestyle why Cassidy is dope remember freestyling with him on South Street. Beatbox and Rhymes peace to Dice Raw #LoganValley
What's the name of the first instrumental
Word... and you know it was off the dome cause he was commenting on shit that was goin on around him
@ozarp You need to post this like 50 times for people to really realize that "you ain't neva lied" Black Thought has nothing to prove against anyone. He has the money/respect by doing it his way and never selling out as a gimmick
I'm still not sure about the Jimmy Fallon gig, but I know he likes acting and all that. But when you put a Mic in his face he goes in BEAST mode channeling the best of the all time greats. Vol tron on the Mic for real.
You're reaching. That's a direct quote, that's easily recognizable by a Hip Hop head who knows of Just Ice, simply because he did it exactly how Ice did it.
In the mind of a super nigga there's no peace.
O_O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wow!
@rcarter012 For real. My head hurts...this is like eating too much chocolate cake, so good it's painful.
Early warning shots!!!
