Video: Black Thought x Black Dante: 75 Bars
Black Dante stans for The Roots’ Black Thought’s verse on The Roots’ “75 Bars” off of Rising Down after taping their BET cypher in Brooklyn.
Classic footage. Props to Frolab for the always candid shots of Mos.
Sidebar: Why are people tripping over that Mos Def verse from the cypher. I could swear that’s the same verse he spits in every freestyle.

FTW, the GOAT of R&B jump offs is Chaka Khan. She’d hit one of those “Ain’t Nobody” sultry notes and have catz done before the bridge.
^^Oh man, DPS if you still out there, fella you so old you’d still knock the back end out of Tina Turner. Shits disgusting.
*daps to all*

yeah, mos and black thought need to do more take two and pass style joints like ‘double trouble’. their chemistry is crazy…
hell, they could go on and add mos to the group for a whole album. they’re taping jimmy kimmel in nyc anyway, might as well put something together.
October 30th, 2009 at 1:42 am
and smh @ nation hating on mos def’s cipher verse. you arent complaining about nipsey hussle’s verse sounding like the rest of his material. FOH. be consistent or be silent.
October 30th, 2009 at 1:43 am
for that matter, why are people hype about eminem’s verse? dude has been twisting syllables and doing internal rhyme schemes for 10 years now. go on and pick on everyone, why don’t you?
October 30th, 2009 at 4:28 am
I’m pissed Mos Def used his verse from “Brooklyn Go Hard” in the cipher.
October 30th, 2009 at 5:02 am
double trouble
October 30th, 2009 at 12:14 pm
They trippin cause mos said”peace to the gods and the earths”.
The n.g.e is in the 8ing.
Y’all about to get awoke again to the k.o.s.
Wake up ppl.
Look up the supreme mathamatics on line or ask a god near you.
Peace
