The Best Rap Verse of the Month
Black Thought gets disprespectful on a guest verse, and lands himself the best verse we heard in May.
Why do people keep featuring Black Thought on their tracks? Every once in a blue moon, Tariq takes a break from his gig on Jimmy Fallon's late night show to spank these meatballs, word to Uncle L. Who else can name drop Biggie, Pac, the Moors, "Roxanne's Revenge," New Jack City, Don Draper, Lamar Odom, and an ancient word like sankofa in a single verse? He's been in the game for two decades and still rapping circles around your faves. Now he's turning into the Incredible Hulk on David Banner's own track? The nerve of this guy.
Black Thought's features track record is impeccable—he's a bully on a track. When you call Tariq for a feature, please understand that he is not your friend. He's in the booth to kick ass and take names after he finishes an impromptu skit on his late night television show. For his total disregard for David Banner's track, Black Thought's feature on "Who Want It" gets May's best rap verse.
We need that solo album, Tariq.
