The lead of "The Roots". They're a Philly band from the mid 90s. Yes an actual hiphop band that used real instruments. You might recognize some of the bandmates, Questlove, Scott Storch.
YOU LATE BRO. THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE GREATEST FREESTYLE ON FUNK FLEX. I HEARD THIS THE 1ST DAY IT DROPPED & I COULDN'T CLOSE MY MOUTH. EVERY TIME I LISTEN TO THIS IT SENDS CHILLS THROUGH MY BRAIN
The phenomenal melanin bio-polymer. Follow with a glass of Merlot, I could swallow her. Eat her up like a Snackwell. We could live forever like Henrietta Lacks cells !
Black Thought is one of the most skilled to ever do it. Bar for bar he can stand up to anyone. Check out his freestyle on sway in the morning with Method Man. Or his stuff with The Roots (his main band). It will not disappoint.
5:04 And this right here is a *HUGE* difference between then and now. As a teen I was listening to lyricists. So that's why I can't even entertain most of the newer shit. 6:40 Jimmy Fallon actually gave him a scroll with the words of this freestyle on it.
I'm black thoughts biggest fan . Love him. But I don't get this type of best freestyle ever stuff ??. Freestyle in itself is nonsense now . This isn't freestyle . This is black thought being black thought and just spitting fire . It's what he does . Super intelligent to switch it up with the beat etc. he kills any beat. But it's not a freestyle. It's just ten mins of written gold .
Tariq is from South Philly. Went to an Arts school for band and linked up with ?uestlove, drummer, and they started The Legendary Roots Crew. Gotta see them live. THOUGHT is the 🐐 of street rap. Check out some Aesop Rock. He's the 🐐 of the rap game. Your blood is blue (royal/"royalty") until oxygen hits it. Check your veins.
Thanks dj vlad if not for you we probably would have never been blessed with this one. O would love to see vlads face when he listened to this for the first time 🤔
Its ok you don't know him its by design you do know a lil wyne. Lil uzzi lil ect. After hearing that if you're a critical thinker it should dawn on you that you dont know what mastery looks like meaning there's only one sound that makes old Gs and young lions equally proud to to listen. This should be you're new found religion.
This is probably still the greatest freestyle ever.
Ain't no probably
Right up there fo sho
There's no probably, Sir.
Facts. No one could fade Black Thought.
@@ollieallen4197only person I feel like could run it with him is Cyhi da prynce
Black thought. I’ve been listening to him since 1993.
Never heard a wack verse from him! 💯💯💯
Me too bro, been telln my friends bout him since then. There just now catching on.
Asking who he is???? Jesus😢😢😢😢
Yeah; for Black Thought, this is just a days work. You are witnessing the work of a Supreme lyricist; real headz know.
Definitely facts! Only heads know, on the real!

One of the only guys to body Eminem on his own song…that’s who that is.
Black Thought kills everyone on their songs

12:12…..Henrietta Lacks line went RIGHT over your head. Look her up and you’ll see why that’s the illest verse EVER!
The phenomenal melanin bio-polymer.

My favorite under-the-radar line: “I reside between the seconds on the chronograph”
He’s saying he’s all-time
This the best piece of this art that you’ll ever find. Perfection. It’s like a running faucet of words.

I’ve known about black thought for hundreds of years

Always been one of the purest lyricist. I remember being a a festival the roots was at, since that day I've been a fan.
He’s the GOAT of freestyle rap.
Change of flow is a normal thing per months golden age MCs. It came natural.
Arguably the best freestyle ever! 💯💯💯💯💯
You missed the whole last bar when he said “I tell a story like Fingerprints and Blood splatter” Shit too tough💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

He was too much for most 🔥
There are zero wasted bars here. If you don't understand a line, Google every bar. This is beyond college level poetry.
Circumcise bar is deep and precise

Thought Destroyed The Set! Nobody On After Him... 🔥 🎤
Listen to Loaded lux freestyle on Funk Flex
It was hot but he not fuckin with this.
You missed the close out line fanning out over the Brain matter contain too much data line.
Thought is from Philly
Please tell me this ain't your 1st time hearing of the great Black Thought
Just play the video
If you don't know who he is, you ain't a hip hop fan.
That's redick!
Go back to school young man.
Fire! (Philly Fire!)
who gives a shit what funk says? The reason we watch is for the artist he showcases...
