Black Thought, of House Thought, the first of his name, the King of flows and the King of Studio 6B, Protector of the Mic, the unburnt and un-outrapped, sir regnant of the Philly, the Khal of the Roots, the breaker of beats, the father of freestyle.

Beanie Siegel and Black thought was a group.... lol... that's hip hop hisrory.. I can't even imagine how that would even sound today.... dope tho

He’s so beautifully talented inside and out! He didn’t lie when he said he was cut from a different cloth! *”If everybody is somebody, then who the hell am I?”* The fact that he still remembered those verses from months ago is crazy! ❤️ #BlackThoughtTheGoat

Black Thought is an incredible talent. He is intellectual pro black and pro human. His breath control is always impeccable and his word choice and vocabulary is legendary. He's a smart dude but streetwise. Nobody you know that raps really wants that smoke with Tarik.

I love that everyone from my era is coming back it's so awesome right now shout out to black thought much love

Emcees, Writers and Poets are a great example of what the synthesis of information looks like. To use your five senses, while also using introspection and metacognition is a highly developed skill

Black Thought is the definition of how great we can be when we let go of ego. We've been trained to think that to be a great mc u have to have this huge ego but humbleness will take u way farther than having a super ego ever will

I hope this man gets the proper recognition as a GOAT that he deserves before he passes away. Let’s appreciate this man’s greatness right now

I love this interview! It's so important for an emcee to be versatile and being able to rock at many tempos and styles. That's what I think casual fans don't understand about hip-hop! These emcees are on a god-level for music-making skills and can't be compared to these mumble rappers and most of the new artists.

This was just a great interview. It really shows that you guys love the culture. You can tell Black Thought loved to be there. Props. No other show like it

People who really know hip hop and understand real skills definitely have to put Black Thought in the conversation for one of the greatest. Redman as well.

"Took a cobblestone alley through a mercy street alley/more championship rings the John Salley/Biochemically on par with Salvatore Dalle" That is almost verbatim off (Streams of Thought) of "Making a Murderer" featuring Styles P! This song gave me heart palpitations..... My O My

Beverly Huttinger he doesn’t sound like NY. He sounds like he’s on a whole different level! Alien status. The man is unbelievable at what he does. Few are on his wordplay, rhyming, writing and rapping level in history. With substance too. Also he was rappin in Philly streets 25 yrs ago! He’s Philly but more important he’s Hip Hop period tbh. Beans and them are nowhere near Thought talent wise.

One of the best interviews y'all have done!

I was in high school when the "roots come alive" album came out. I had memorised mad songs already, but listening to the live performances I realized that Thought is not human. His mind is too agile, versatile, and vicious. Not human. He flipped so many lyrics in the live shows, I realized that the lyrics on the original album were just a snap shot of his mind at the time... The lyrics and the ideas don't ever stop moving and evolving. Every time he touches the mic it's live and direct, hot off the grill..
