The Philly rapper amazed with his performance on a New York radio show.
Black Thought’s 10 minutes of fire set the hip-hop world aflame.
Roots rapper Tariq “Black Thought” Trotter was a guest on Funkmaster Flex’s radio show on New York station Hot 97 on Thursday. The Philly emcee and coleader of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon house band let loose with an epic freestyle rap rhymed over the beat to Mobb Deep’s “The Learning (Burn)” that left all who witnessed it agape.
Yes, he rhymed “sharia law” and “ma cherie amour.” It’s true, geopolitics and Philadelphia journalism nerds: He name-dropped Henry Kissinger and Buzz Bissinger.
Mass incarceration of African Americans, and the black woman whose cancer cells have been have been enormously important in medical research were discussed in the brilliantly brief line: “We like Henrietta Lacks, we up in cells.” And, sorry, Kimye fans, he spoke of his own greatness being on the level of “pre-Kardashian Kanye.”
Reaction was over the top, all over Twitter. There’s a consensus that Kendrick Lamar is the greatest rapper alive, and there’s been a lot of talk of late about the mastery of veteran emcees like Jay-Z and Eminem, whose new album Revival comes out Friday. But on Thursday, after witnessing the staggering breath control and technical facility and quickness of wit, the hip-hop world had to step back and collectively think: “Wait a minute … did we forget about Black Thought?”
BLACK. THOUGHT. JUST. DROPPED. THE BEST. HIP-HOP. VERSE. OF. 2017. IN. ONE. TAKE.@blackthought WHAT DID YOU DO I'LL BE DISSECTING THIS FOR HOURS https://t.co/Ukl4KQLW7z

Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda went all-caps with fulsome praise, asking the rapper: “WHAT DID YOU DO I’LL BE DISSECTING THIS FOR HOURS,” and later retweeted Questlove proclaiming “Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods Before Black Thought.” By Thursday night, Diddy had joined in, declaring: “THIS IS THE GREATEST FREESTYLE IN ALL OF HIP-HOP HISTORY!!!!” This gif of Funkmaster Flex’s reaction shots is also amusing.
As for Black Thought, he was nonchalant, tweeting: “That verse was just what I had to say at the moment lol.”

Going through my archives recently, I found some old negatives from one of my first Philadelphia Inquirer assignments. It was August 11, 1987, and I was assigned to make your typical trip and grin photo of Jennifer Hai-Ying Tsou as she accepted a sponsorship from the Jenkintown Rotary Club which enabled her to spend a year in China studying music. I recall making images of her address to the rotary, but not really digging the images. Since she was studying music in China, I felt the need to actually show that in a photograph. Luckily, after the luncheon, she agreed to allow me to make some images of her at the piano of her parents home in Jenkintown. These days Jennifer Su is an accomplished TV and Radio Presenter as well as Corporate Master of Ceremonies and and Actress/Singer. In the days of film, we had to type a caption for every frame we made, because many times we had a lab person, most likely the late, great, Gervase Rozanski, processing our film and then printing the images. The caption sheet was zeroxed to the back of the print and then the correct caption was circled with marker. If was a much, much different process back in 1987. According to the assignment sheet I made exposed 5 rolls of film for the assignment and got to work with one of my favorite writers from back in the day, John Ellis. I also got to meet a very nice young woman who has gone on to accomplish great things. One of the reasons I got into photojournalism was because of the cool people and things I get to meet and do. Beats being stuck in a studio working on an illustration night after night and being isolated from everyone. In what other career would Bono promise to have a pint with you when you visit Ireland? #flashbackfriday #bw #blackandwhite #jenkintown #rotary #pennsylvania @jensu1 @phillyinquirer #phillydotcom (at Jenkintown, Pennsylvania)
