It was the end of an era- the last hip-hop show ever at the Knitting Factory, one of the most esteemed music landmarks in New York City.  And what better way to go out with a bang than to have the best emcee on the planet, Black Thought performing an extremely rare solo show, backed by DJ Questlove and accompanied by wingman, Truck North.  Riq Geez absolutely destroyed the stage, spitting his razor sharp lyrics with astounding breath control over rare breakbeats served up by Questlove.  Black Thought most definitely proved he can hold his own without The Legendary Roots Crew backing him. This is one you do not want to miss.

Note: This is the entire 30 min set from the show.
