Black Thought (ft. Q-Tip) - Shade45 Dilla Tribute
Posted on March 7th, 2010 by HighVoltage in Black Thought, Q-Tip, The Roots
Black Thought has been considered by many to be among the best emcees of all time, but after his incredible ‘freestyles’ on the Shade 45 Dilla tribute recently, many hip-hop heads bowed down and gave him the crown as THE greatest. Even Q-Tip was at a loss for words when it came his time to grab the mic. While this has been floating around the net for a bit, here’s our exclusive mix of the session, with some of the levels raised (including bass) and mastered properly. I edited out Tony Toca (sorry pal) and everything flows perfectly. Enjoy raw emceeing at its finest over Dilla beats.

Mindblowing.
I think the server is down/file is gone…
Brandon, the file is there and it’s working fine for me. *kanye shrug*
I stand corrected…it must have been the fact that I am in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the internet here is about as slow as dial-up…if not worse. Thanks for this!
Thanks for this amazing freestyle - and you ain’t lying, Thought tears it down.
Top 5? There’s a lot of legends to squeeze into that list but Thought makes his case.
