DJ Premier Says Black Thought "Bodied" Eminem & Yasiin Bey In Cypher

[the rhyme king]

Mos got last place IMO on the strength that it was a recycled verse. I always felt like thought and em were a toss up. Black was def more in the pocket as far as the beat, em had more stand out lines, he got more reaction at certain spots but thought's shyt was thorough all the way through.

Either way they all came nice, and the idea that black thought would body ANY cipher at any given time should be a given, he's fukking amazing and is at very least one of the top 5 most underrated emcees of all time.

mos is ok as a lyricist

what u think about black thought rhyme schemes.

He's one of those guys i'm in awe of as far as rapping ability goes. He's not the most exciting cat to listen to but from what some people were saying he's always wanted to do his own thing away from the roots and he'd probably be more interesting/off the wall if he did.

 

[Pop123]

damn, all 3 of them nikkas bodied that but i'm whylin off eminem's shyt the most.

 

[observe]

DJ premier is too delusional from old age to realize that both mos and em bodied black thought..I thought this was common knowledge when the video dropped..

In other news, water is wet.

 

[Nefflum nigga]

black thought had the best verse easily.

black thought might be one of the most criminally underrated mc's in hip hop ever. seen the roots live a few times since 97 and their shows never ever disappoint. and bt always pays homage. in my top 5 all time. up there with rakim, kool g rap n them boys. mos and em are cool too, but black thought is just a different beast imo.

What song? I recognized the mos verse, I forget what album the roots put out around that time that he would have pulled that from.

That whole relapse promo run where em did westwood he was writing those raps in the car on the way there

This was obvious...

 

[spliz]

Styles did rip his one though.

Jada ripped his as well...

 

[razassin]

I recognize Black Thought's skills on the mic but Im jut not into his music or The Roots...

They all killed it to me... They all brought heat...
