Black Thought still raps, guys, in case you forgot. I tried to give Drake's VIEWS a real chance here, but your fave didn't deliver a shell-shocking verse. Instead, what we got was a solid album that didn't quite live up to expectations. The Roots frontman released "Making a Murderer" featuring Styles P and produced by 9th Wonder at the beginning of April and no rapper has been able to top it.
The game is grateful for Tariq Trotter's willingness to take a break from entertaining us on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to melt our brains with this verse. He's underrated by most, revered by some, when it should be the other way around. Black Thought's legendary status is not up for debate today and will never be. We gather here today to bask in his light, in his brilliance, in his maniacal wordplay.
One would have to listen to this track about 15 times before being able to catch every line. He spits a two and a half minute stream of consciousness that'll make you question the laws of physics. How can a man float in stereo? Black Thought is an expert in that regard. He has levitated on many tracks before this one, and will continue until he decides to never write a rhyme again. Someone tell these young punks to get their weight up (except Kendrick.)
"It's disturbing when a murderer enjoys homicide."
Yes, yes, it is. Now, can we get that solo album, Tariq? Please.
