Black Thought 10 levels above a Sith Lord..
He's so far above everyone else it's like he's not even appreciated for what he actually is.
Black Thought top 3 DOA. Big probably wouldn’t have even had longevity like this.
Exactly he is too advanced. There is a reason why NO one disses him. Every song he calls all rappers. That's when you know you a Rap God a true rap God.
Dope
@@1fes323 a true rap god you already know 🤔
Before I knew an A and R I was weighing hard back when Nicki Minaj was in a training bra
Dope
You play this game you better play it hard / the judge will give you life and later that day gon be playing golf
That hit hard
Dammmnnnnn! Burned that #hippop Bitch....
😭😭😭😭
Scorched em
" You play the game you better play it Hard, the judge give you life and later that day he gone be playin Golf"
I don't know whats wrong with this world
He almost coulda just stopped right there.
4 my buff city niggaz
Shit too fuckin sick yo omg
Soon as I started reading the verse was on time.
Too many gems in his verse.."in the kitchen counting cash, with cats with backwards agenda's"..but tha judge line the Hardest tho..🔥
Did u peep how Black Thought said "two fifteen" at the end of his verse?! Everybody knows thats Philly area code...but he spit for EXACTLY 2min and 15 secs! #Legendary!
Definitely peeped that,Hard azz beat!!
I didn't and I been listening to this for 1 year🤯
He starts at 2:13 and ends at 4:13... give or take a few secs. Am I missing something? That's 2 minutes...
john steve From the time Black thought starts his verse, to the end of the song, is precisely 2mins 15 seconds
🐐
This is probably the best hip hop track of 2019

We was crooks, tryna cop more rides then great adventures, any images we took, not a father was in the picture. There were time not bite or a swallow was in the kitchen..." Black thought 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Black Thought's verse is genius level rap. The subject matter, metaphors, breath control, etc etc. it's just total dominance of the art form.

Shit I’m 44 and a still keep coming back. And my son loves this track as well. He is Non - Verbal And has Autism 🙏🏾
I'm 44 & I feel the same way
I'm 27, old head though. If an artist has "lil" in it I ain't listening to it. 🤣
Ghostface n Rae on this too would have been crazy 🔥🔥🔥
Yep..sandwich those two in the middle and still keep black thought at the end...🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨
Styles P!
this would’ve been crazy, perfect beat for new york v everybody
Yo why u even say that? Now I'm imagining a whole new song with them on it too but i still gotta register what i just heard. Black Thought is a fuckin wordsmith and I'm shocked I'm just now getting hip to Benny.
Somebody gets it, they put out a Wu-Banger without Wu lol.
I need stitches and a neck brace the beat plus the bars almost decapitated me 🔥 😭
Fatality!

@@gweah7821 I think you are right. To bad new albums don't come with the full credits and samples .
@@cttheking I just checked it, it’s not, actually. It’s another Al Green song called Look What You Done For Me
This give me mid 90s Rza production feels. Benny took this one and he sound dope to a faster tempo'd beat. He normally spits over slower style Daringer beats.
mrkeitt At least somebody agrees with me. Benny’s uptempo flow is vicious.
@@divine12th Boy sound even deadlier 💯💪🏾
divine12th yeah he strings his patterns along harder when it’s faster like thruway music on stabbed and shot
That’s 💯 I was just thinking wether it would compliment benny and BT not sure but could even hear Rza and ghost voices On this too. it’s exactly like that Rza sound.
And agree uptempo benny is my favourite, like the legend song etc.
Tana Talk 3 made me pay attention. The Plugs I Met made me a fan for life. Much love from Dallas 🌹
Listen to Butcher on Steroids fam
@@YoungWisdom319 absolute classic
Can't believe he got Black on this joint one of my favorite definitely in my top 10
Best two lines, by Black Thought; ,“Tryin' hard not to be the food in the mouth of the beast, for whom the bell tolls” and “When I finish I'ma keep a tennis shoe on y'all throat”
Idk that “there was times not a bite nor swallow was in the kitchen” really hits different
@@buckylarson339 “after butcher and this track it’s back to counting money” (butchering)
“Where everybody play they own part like a tooth gap “- that shit flew over most peoples heads when they were listening

I'm getting that Big Pun Super Lyrical vibe with soul off of this. Classic
There are people who have never heard of Big Pun. Think about that, god. Crazy. He was one of the bestest.
Black Thought is on that jawn also
This is the type of track I wish had an extended 9 min version. This is the definition of a Complete Hip-Hop Track
Rest In Peace DJ Shay

Them horns though... 🎺🎷💥🔥2:03
I made the stank face as song as them horns came in I had to rewind 4 times damn near put it in a loop lol
The shit is tough, but Black thought... my god. He is always on point. Every roots album, every feature, and his solo work. Even when you think your educated, he makes you go back and actually review something. Always timely and focused. Super thorough with mad versatility (e.g, dear god 2.0, clock with no hands, birds eye view, mad men, Boom, 215....etc), and it always makes sense.
Black thoughts verse:
Yo, when we was hooked in the hood, gettin' booked like literature
Kept us shook, like when the boogieman comin' to get ya
We was crooks, tryna cop more rides than Great Adventure
Any image we took, not a father was in the picture
There was times, not a bite nor swallow was in the kitchen
Real niggas made a industry out of they intuition
Facin' the darkest outcome, sprintin' to outrun the reaper
Trying not to be the food in the mouth of the beast
For whom the bell tolls
Crown kings in Adidas suits and shell toes
We had to throw a lot of body blows and elbows
Wishin' we could get from Snyder Ave to Melrose
Without the Dapper Dan bodybags and jail clothes
That warned niggas not to lollygag when Hell rose
We railroaded through the thicker things for gold chains and chicken change
No one throwin' flames, there's growin' pains when in the game
And the blow, ashes in the snow, it's no remains
Push the wheel as fast as it could go, we overcame the obstacles
But when you official, the block miss you
Even if the old crew choose not to rock with you
We was blue-black, stuck in the glue trap
I had to pull my own self up by the bootstrap
Where everybody play they own part like a tooth gap
And old heads teach the young hitters to shoot back
I been livin' proof that the pressure make precious stones
And real clairvoyant savants remain less unknown
But anybody who question you, send a message to 'em
I see my seat at the table to be a blessed throne
Triumph and tragedy, his majesty muscle never atrophied
The devil is a casualty, sucker, you're never catchin' me
Even though you been after me, motherfucker
You gotta bring a army to harm me, I occupy the capacity up
Decapitator of a hater in this modern day
My dossier no less, dealer spray Courvoisier
I'm Jean-Paul Gaultier, Tom Ford, and Cartier
Self-made, I fly vintage from the sommelier
On reserve, flowin' from the blackest fountain
It's all love from public housin' to the Atlas Mountains
I've established the average to always bat a thousand
So after butcherin' this track, it's back to countin'
The money generated from me leavin' microphones broke
Probably almost on par with all of Escobar's coke
When I'm finished, I'ma keep a tennis shoe on y'all throat
Just in case you mention in a interview you want smoke, nigga
Two Fifteen
1) Black thought, 2)Rakim 3) Jay-Z 4) Biggie 5) Naz ( 3-5 can be interchangeable), 6)KRs-1, 7)Kool G, 8) Big Daddy Kane, 9) Mos Def, 10) Slick Rick, 11) Andre 3000, 12) Lupe Fiasco, 13) Ghost face Killa.....
Marvin Rock Wow and agree with the list!
@@domnel3981 Great list! To me, Lupe Fiasco is higher on the list. Beside being a super lyricist, he has a body of work that's hard to match. F&L, T&Y (his best album imo), The Cool and Drogas Wave. That's 4 phenomenal albums. Rakim, G Rap and even Biggie are legends, but their body of work doesn't match that of Lupe imo. I'd also put 3k and Ghost higher up for the same reasons I mentioned for Lu. Respect fam!
Gza?
No Eminem?
Gotta add DOOM and Talib Kweli imo but great list
The rap game is evolving. Soon that mumble pill poppin substance abuse b.s. is gon b ova and hiphop is gon get back to niggaz that r actually talented and a speak with at least a 10th grade education level
Man word. 🔥 🔥

@@captainflapjack225 no doubt. In a couple years that garbage music is gon slide right outta rotation
@Colton Foos the white powers that be have control and now set the tone for whats hot instead of the ppl that listen. They have radio stations and social media outlets constantly drill the dumb shit n ur head over and over again until u giv in. The same way shit evolves it also revolves. Now i think the caliber of 90's m.c. u will never see again as far as lyricism but good music is coming back for the north east.
The thing is real hip hop never die y'all this gotta look for it(underground)y'all this a bunch of wave riders that follow that mainstream bs.

Lies Royce da 5 9 hung with blackthought
Black Thought absolutely snapped on this! Wow. This is an example of a “High Spitter”. Literally no way what he does and what a mumble rapper does should be considered the same genre of art.
Facts, Black thought is a real wordsmith, while these shitty rappers can't even the spell the words they wrote.
We like both on this side bruh and yes they’re both the same genre. Hip hop is the biggest influence of modern times. Just cuz you like apples don’t mean oranges aren’t still considered a fruit.
I myself don't like it either, however, it's unfortunately what "hip hop" has degraded too. Buuuuut, can't knock it completely, there's some catchy bangers that are good to listen to when you're drunk or high.
There's also artists that do a decent job with the "trap beats" and still make place for lyricism. YBN cordae, J. I. D, type stuff. Like go listen to down bad by dreamville, shit is dope you can't even deny it. It's got that annoying new school feeling, but it's still a dope track
Pls don't even utter mumble rapper & Thought's name in the same sentence. That shyt be blasphemy.
This track sounds similiar to Prodigy Of Mobb Deep “Can’t Complain” album H.N.I.C
Hey only dude who notice seems like 💯
If Prodigy was still alive he would have ripped this beat 🙌
"Walk in my shoes, we got Shaq-sized soles" but damn black thought killed that shit!

[Verse 1: Benny the Butcher]
This marathon shit, so let's see who first to the finish
If it's less than a hundred racks, it don't deserve your attention
'Cause burdens come with it, my second test was servin' a sentence
My first was make a brick jump like it was hurdlin' fences
Certainly, my last shit was a courtesy, nigga
And further, we had bustdowns before you heard of me, nigga
Shoeboxes stacked with racks sittin' vertically in 'em
I'm fresh out of luck, I'm here 'cause I deserve to be, nigga
I sat back, a vet, and watched beginners winnin' my belts
Burned my bridges, came back a good swimmer like Phelps
You know the feeling, young black male, what y'all dealin'?
Take your whole life to get it, it only last you a minute
In the kitchen countin' cash with cats with backward agendas
Put a Benz in the brick, then toss it back in the blender
That was us, next to a big like I was Puff
The good die young, all the OGs thirty and up
In Alexander McQueen kicks just to dirty 'em up
Money tree, branches break when they not sturdy enough, uh
See, I was good with the bad guy role
Water in my jewels, put 'em on and baptize hoes
Walk in my shoes, we got Shaq-sized soles (Huh)
We flatline those wack rap niggas wearin' half-sized clothes
What's the dealy? I'm only 'bout six hours from Philly
That's an hour on the plane, I'll make it three in the Bentley
My bitch keep sayin' I'm famous, but it ain't hit me
I'm too ghetto, mellowed out, this Hollywood shit tricky
See, before I knew an A&R, I was weighin' hard
Back when Nicki Minaj was in a trainin' bra
You play this game, you better play it hard
The judge'll give you life and later that day, he gon' be playin' golf
I'm from that era, we don't pay it if you weighed it wrong
Back when your parents got your baby shoes plated bronze
We took hip-hop and made it ours
I sold quarters, just so happens I'm the author of your favorite songs
They bullshitted me, I played along
More bars than them niggas who got hit with the Reagan laws
Let's go
