He really hasn't!! You aren't even exaggerating. He brings the highest level of care and professionalism to his craft. I put him in my #1 rapper spot 25 years ago and he has only gotten better and better every year since.

@@volusiasorangeI’ve watched a ton of these and never see anyone bring up the Henrietta Lacks line. It’s probably my favorite bar in the whole freestyle
He said “ I’m a bull inside a China shop” type that on RUclips and see what pops up, they literally placed a bull inside a China shop, but instead of the bull breaking everything it did the opposite 😅😂😂, watch that video it’s hilarious 🤣. I like what you guys did by allowing greatness to flow without trying to break everything down, if you did that this reaction was gonna take hours to dissect because it’s too great. This is arguably the best freestyle of all time.
The idiom "bull in a china shop" means someone who is aggressively reckless and clumsy in a situation that requires delicacy and care, and is probably of 19th century British origin, although there are variations of it in several European languages involving an elephant rather than a bull. Glad you're enjoying Tariq Trotter's encyclopedic brain. The Henrietta Lacks line was also 🔥
Check out some of The Roots albums, they're one of the best hip hop artists ever. They're the band for the Tonight Show too. IMO as a fan for 20+ years, Black Thought is the best rapper ever. Ever.
Bull in a china shop is actually a saying that goes way back. It refers to a person who can’t handle a delicate task and will mess everything up. Like, “We hired Jimmy as our new store manager but he was like a bull in a china shop. Within a week 3 people quit.”
I think this is the hardest, historically accurate, most missed rhyme... "I'm more policed for my core beliefs. They tried to capture me and brand me on my cheek with a fleur-de-lis." Louisiana Black codes. Captured runaway slaves were branded on the shoulder or the cheek with a fleur-de-lis (New Orleans Saints logo).
Black Thought has never spit A Wack verse, ever! 30 years
He really hasn't!! You aren't even exaggerating. He brings the highest level of care and professionalism to his craft. I put him in my #1 rapper spot 25 years ago and he has only gotten better and better every year since.

Black Thought is the emcee of The Roots. A legendary hiphop band from the early 90's.
Yall youngsters are being blessed listening to this

It’s crazy when people don’t know who black thought is. He’s literally one of our world’s greatest writers.
the greatest freestyle

The "bull inside a china shop" is the bar you caught?
There's so many!
Listen again, n again n again
😂 it's a BULL inside a China shop meaning he destroys everything
The saying is "a bull in a china shop". So it would knock everything over and break all the fine china.

Black Thought has never missed once... a wack bar has never left that man's mouth
The duel reaction after "Seoul, 'less you're Korean"
I think this is the hardest, historically accurate, most missed rhyme...
"I'm more policed for my core beliefs. They tried to capture me and brand me on my cheek with a fleur-de-lis."
Louisiana Black codes. Captured runaway slaves were branded on the shoulder or the cheek with a fleur-de-lis (New Orleans Saints logo).
