He's amazing.
I feel like you're missing the point and nitpicking for the sake of nitpicking. Like...what he did was not supposed to have a message (it's a funk flex freestyle, not the last song on his album) and he didn't pick if the beat switched or not (that's on the dj) but it's more watching this dude rap relentlessly and at an extremely high level for 10 minutes straight. I know he made it seem easy but there aren't many people on earth who can do what he did in this video. And by that, I mean do it well.sleazy_j wrote:dude said deepak chopra wrong.
it seemed like just rapping for rapping's sake. no real message, just bragging for too long referencing everything.
at least change the beat up or something. i thought this freestyle was boring.
funk flex all "you guys coming up here doing 50 takes???" umm maybe you shouldn't let them up there, then.
Kool Keith is in my top 5 of all time, but I wouldn't necessarily say he's the most consistent (just look at his output from the last decade). I'd argue keith is the most prolific rapper of all time tho...Doogs wrote:Black Thought is up there, i just don't know the roots stuff that well.
Kool Keith is the most consistent though. Of all time speaking

yup....if any parts of this freestyle were made into a song or songs and put on an album theyd just be more ho hum black thought verses...but the fact that he spit this flawlessly live over ten minutes is just remarkableBlockhead wrote:I've always been bored by Black thought, even though I would never deny that he's one of the greatest technical rappers of all time. But this shit? It's seriously one of the best rapping I've ever seen done live.
I could smell your trolling attemptEMCEE DARTH MALEK wrote:you hit the nail on the head. i just value personality more than you do (which is ironic cause it's something you have a ton of lol). there's no denying that blackthought has bars, he has clever punchlines, he has dope rhyme schemes. but he doesn't speak to me or resonate emotionally.
but to keep it 100 i only disrespected the god cause i wanted to troll phila (and it worked)
His material from the last decade has been excellent though. Literally everything he's done that isn't self produced is excellent. A lot of what he's put out that's self produced is good too, admittedly more of a guilty pleasure.GUCCI CONDOMS wrote:Kool Keith is in my top 5 of all time, but I wouldn't necessarily say he's the most consistent (just look at his output from the last decade).
