I remember BT teasing a solo album around the 2000ish time frame. Can’t remember where I read it back then-probably the okayplayer boards, but at the time, Thought was saying he’s gonna do a solo album called Masterpiece Theater. I waited to hear more news as far as a date but, ultimately, it didn’t happen. About ten years later, BT again talked about a solo album that he was planning on dropping called The Talented Mr Trotter, and once again…nothing. By that time, I had already accumulated so many non-Roots BT songs, remixes to Roots songs, guest appearances, etc. But yo-did you ever hear any Money Making Jam Boys albums? There’s two of them, I think, but the second album, “The Prestige” is dope af. The group consists of Black Thought, Dice Raw, Truck North, STS and PORN (terrible name. Good luck searching for any of his work). Thought does some heavy work on that album. And have you heard his Streams of Thought projects? Peace

One can only hope he finally gets the ultimate and final recognition. I’ve been preaching about his superiority to everyone around me for 14 years. Like you can have a top five, but Black Thought really surpasses that. He is his own league, a legend in the flesh. His lyrical skills is absolutely amazing, and studying his progress for the early Roots days to where he’s taken himself now is astonishing. Black Thought is not only a rapper and a lyricist, but a prophet in its deepest definition. We would ALL be better off if we learned by his story in life, no matter who you are or where you come from. Tragedy turned triumph

"Everything's burning doowwwn"😭

Here I thought No Gold Teeth was good but every single they've released has been better than the last. This was crazy, can't wait for the album

Real rap will never die. There are social activists like him everywhere, with souls and life force stronger than any deceptive, dumb mainstream rappers they force into our airwaves. The truth is powerful.

This track never gets old bruh, I feel so many emotions listening to it. I blurt out the lyrics so loud in my room .. in the whip. A masterclass of a masterpiece. I'm getting so close to saying this is my favorite rap track of all time.

"Everything's burning down, when I close my eyes." "Enemy's all around, I don't understand my friend, my frienddddddd" 🔥

How is this guy still going. He has been rapping like this for DECADES and hasn’t slipped any bit. He only gets better. The sampling on this track is pure genius as well.

I'ma king, I'm dipped in Gods black complexion🔥🔥🔥🔥

most criminally underrated MC ever. I really wish Ransom and Black Thought would make an album together.

The bad thing that they’re hiding the bad words in the songs

Instant Classic.

I thought listenable rap was dead, buried, forgotten. Man, was I wrong. Thank you, sir.

I cried

🔥🔥🔥

Put it in the history books here is the best hip hop song of all time...

This is purely from his soul. This album has been rumored for so long and god. I can’t even keep my brain wrapped around the genius to this

Been waiting for more artists to work with Michael Kiwanuka!!! This is awesome!!! 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿 Black Thought absolutely snapped!!

This track is spine-tingling. The flow, the beat. It brings tears to the eyes and strength to the heart.

As someone less than even moderately interested in rap/hip hop music, this is awesome. No needless profanity, great tempo, unique lyrics. This one's going into the playlists.

This should win a Grammy for best contemporary rap song. If you all listen to the lyrics of this song is actually sending a positive message

Yeesh. Black Thought is seriously on another level. And the consistency for so many years. He seems to only keep getting better.

I think this is my favorite single from the album so far. Honestly one of my favorite singles of 2022 so far also. Black Thought is already a lyrical machine, but Danger Mouse might be making a classic duo here

Tell Nas Hip Hop has finally produced a Lazarus. Praise be DM and BThought.

Seriously? This deserves FAR more than half a million views. Get your shit together people! 😆

Black Thought has cracked the mathematical code. 💥
