Bruh. He says the simplest things in the weirdest most profound ways... instead of simply saying I’ll kill you, he says “I’ll have you and the living a category apart” that’s just mastery.
@@tomayousif108 my advice, do what X did as a young kid, he may be a more goofy "mumble rap" freestyler, but he's definitely worthy of being a *freestyler* , he studied artists like these (mainly Biggie) , and he freestyled to beats that they used to freestyle to, do that and freestyling will become more and more natural for u, its fun man.

I reside between the seconds on a chronograph. What an eloquent way to say you're "timeless" without saying it while dropping a timeless freestyle. Other dudes think their multisyllables or double metaphors and analogies are nice while thought up in here dropping multidimensional bars.
That's what I said..... this one session shits on some so called lyricists and "deep thinkers" entire project! I actually typed this comment at 4:44 am lol
@Chris Paul I know right. I was introduced to him through this like a year ago and heard some features and his two albums last year and all were amazing. Does he rap on all the roots songs? Because if so then i gotta listen to some roots

Most would hear this and say it was just ok because they simply didn't comprehend the majority of the words that came out of his mouth. This man didn't just freestyle, he shared actual, factual, knowledge.

The man must be doing road work. Enough to take him 12 rounds. That is one of the most impressive things about it. That he was actually able to carry that load and make it look easy.
Flex should've broke that mic.....and gave it to homie to put in his house in a glass case. No one should be able to use that MIC again...it was officially destroyed....for 10 minutes. Cmon man....wow.
you ever hear a freestyle so good, that you think some of their residual talent attached to you giving you the ability to rap on the same level ...then you try cause you so hype and quickly get reminded that there's a reason why you're not them
wunas96 I know haha ...my comment wasn't meant to be taken too seriously , but major props to him for practicing to perfect his craft ...dude is beyond talented
Great art inspires people in various ways. There is video here on youtube with the gza and neil degrasse tyson the astrophysicist and they talk about how physicists now were inspired by Wu Tang lyrics while studying in school.
That's how everybody who started living they emcee fantasies started by emulating some of the best to find themselves an develope they own style... except for ODB no father to his style Lol!
@Thomas Sankara yea loaded lux was nasty but black thought for sure has the best freestyle. Loaded lux might have had more medaphors and wordplay but he's a battle rapper what you expect I would say daylyt was better. Black thought rapped constisntsley using medaphors similes wordplay and basically taught us a college lesson for 10 straight minutes, that takes a retarded amount of breath control flow and overall confidents 1. Black thought 2. Daylyt 3. Luded Lux
No Slip-Ups, Stumbles, No *Hold on Flex let me get it bacc* Just straight Bars!!!..... Youngins pay attention this Boy was Droppin' Jewels this what Hip Hop/ Rap is about my G's
"I never thought you'd give me a reason to do this, Kane and Abel, Jesus And Judas, Caesar And Brutus..." All betrayed by someone that claimed they loved them, that's crazy, phenomenal freestyle.
@@Hardluckchuck Even if they didn't know, part of reading and comprehension is looking for context and meaning. If you hear Kane and Abel and Jesus and Judas and then a third pair whom you don't know you can safely assume the context is betrayal and the last pair are 2 people with a betrayal history because the context of the other 2 pairs. When I was in school as a child, one of the biggest things I saw was that folks struggled with reading comprehension and debate topics, mostly because they didn't really care about them. Comprehension is understanding what you are reading and why it makes sense but debate topics are a range of topics in comprehension and understanding where you have to pull information out of passages to then provide an answer to a question OR make a point based on the information you pulled from to make your own point/stance. I can tell on Social media, a lot of folks ignored this as children simply because of comments like yours. The bar was self explanatory, so what was the point of your comment? you didn't understand it was self explanatory. And why didn't you know that Chuck?

Rap on a doctrine level.

The coldest bars I ever heard in over 15 years 2024 wake up people this man is speaking more than just words 🔥🔥
Keep it 100... *you are listening* for more than the 10th time...
Let's be real I've listen to this over 100
Korby Waters I bump this regularly lol
I've memorized this whole thing. Infinite playback value
I saw this live at the Fillmore in Silver Springs. Mind blowing.
yep!
You've heard 16s, 32s, and 64s...But this man dropped 238 bars...no stumble...off the top...first take..........He is immortal
Revengeance 1000 bars EkoFresh ?
There's been rappers who've dropped more than that, like Game, but Black Thought did it live, with no flaws, and with so much goddamn lyricism.
Nigga dropped more bars than some rappers have in their entire career.
Revengeance this was a written freestyle, not off the top. Be reasonable now come on
freestyle doesn´t mean it has to be off the top. it´s obviously not. Too fire and complex bars. But definitely one of the best freestyles in history.
07:19 - " I am a walking affirmation that imagination, and focus, and patience get you closer to your aspirations."
TRUTH!! 🔥🔥🔥
Word bro!,, that did it for me..I was in my room going Craaaaaaaaaazy!!!!
But wit a humongous smile on my face...Salute to Black Thought for this!!!!
Naw!
300th like!
Wisdom right here
You could just write every lyric... and then say TRUTH
The 'I'm kdot Lamar meets Tupac Shakur" hits different after the beef. 🔥
you ever hear a freestyle so good, that you think some of their residual talent attached to you giving you the ability to rap on the same level ...then you try cause you so hype and quickly get reminded that there's a reason why you're not them
You know he practised to become this good, right? If you want to be good at anything, you practise. Simple. You work hard.
wunas96 I know haha ...my comment wasn't meant to be taken too seriously , but major props to him for practicing to perfect his craft ...dude is beyond talented
Great art inspires people in various ways. There is video here on youtube with the gza and neil degrasse tyson the astrophysicist and they talk about how physicists now were inspired by Wu Tang lyrics while studying in school.
Enrique Suazo Definitely have to check that out
That's how everybody who started living they emcee fantasies started by emulating some of the best to find themselves an develope they own style... except for ODB no father to his style Lol!
legend has it they had to smuggle some vibranium out of wakanda just to make a mic that wouldn't melt...
it failed.
This comment was on point
Hahahaha absolutely homey
Yup! This comment is 🔥
This comment is.. a classic. How do I save comments! You need a page
😂🏆👏🏼
Black Thought just gave a dissertation, lecture and death sentence at the same time!! Student/Teacher/Killer of the game
GOAT
This is an inferno .
He didn't kill the game ya see G because I'm still out here.
your line clever and on the same level
6yrs, 3.9 million views, and im still here listening to this for thousandth time. Black Thought is INCREDIBLE!
We're not worthy
Millionaire Hoy - we suck
This is the kind of rap we need, but not the kind of rap we deserve.
No we are not, but we used to be
*you're... still not worthy
No we not bra.... we're not worthy .... we're not worthy... Spare us. Black Thought is now immortalized... God status.
This one verse is better than a lot of other rappers entire career
Miguel Jacobo Truth! 🙏🏼
Miguel Jacobo huge facts
Miguel Jacobo damn it’s crazy cause it’s not even a joke
Hell yeah!
lol thats so true
This isn’t a freestyle, this is ancient Roman philosophy, this is a letter from a Birmingham jail, this is a book of the Bible King James left out.
Chris Blue woooooooo
Thomas Sankara facts people sleeping on that line
Thomas Sankara eh that ones rly nice too but personally I like thoughts better both are great tho
Nahh this is the embodiment of African griots
@Thomas Sankara yea loaded lux was nasty but black thought for sure has the best freestyle. Loaded lux might have had more medaphors and wordplay but he's a battle rapper what you expect I would say daylyt was better. Black thought rapped constisntsley using medaphors similes wordplay and basically taught us a college lesson for 10 straight minutes, that takes a retarded amount of breath control flow and overall confidents
1. Black thought
2. Daylyt
3. Luded Lux
everytime I come to the gym for the last 4 years I play this all the way thru on the stair master to start, never fails to get me goin for the day 🫡
No Slip-Ups, Stumbles, No *Hold on Flex let me get it bacc* Just straight Bars!!!..... Youngins pay attention this Boy was Droppin' Jewels this what Hip Hop/ Rap is about my G's
Crip52Crazy yo bruh! Y you ain't got mad more likes for this comment? 🖒🖒🖒
True gospel
Hold on Flex lemme get it back 😂 😂
He spit hotter fire 🔥 than Dylan!!
Crip52Crazy blak thought = true emcee
Roots>newcats
Simple math lol
"I never thought you'd give me a reason to do this, Kane and Abel, Jesus And Judas, Caesar And Brutus..." All betrayed by someone that claimed they loved them, that's crazy, phenomenal freestyle.
Not everyone knows who Caesar and Brutus is.
@@Hardluckchuck ok ? 😭
@@Hardluckchuck I'm not sure if you're speaking as to everyone or yourself not knowing who they are?
@@Hardluckchuck we know you have no idea what he was talking about no need to embarrass yourself
@@Hardluckchuck Even if they didn't know, part of reading and comprehension is looking for context and meaning. If you hear Kane and Abel and Jesus and Judas and then a third pair whom you don't know you can safely assume the context is betrayal and the last pair are 2 people with a betrayal history because the context of the other 2 pairs. When I was in school as a child, one of the biggest things I saw was that folks struggled with reading comprehension and debate topics, mostly because they didn't really care about them.
Comprehension is understanding what you are reading and why it makes sense but debate topics are a range of topics in comprehension and understanding where you have to pull information out of passages to then provide an answer to a question OR make a point based on the information you pulled from to make your own point/stance. I can tell on Social media, a lot of folks ignored this as children simply because of comments like yours. The bar was self explanatory, so what was the point of your comment? you didn't understand it was self explanatory. And why didn't you know that Chuck?
This is literally the rap equivalent of the Thanos snap
Wow u are so right bro
When Cap grabbed Mjolnir
