The Roots’ ‘Bad’ Rapper Channels Anger Into Fiery Rhymes
Right or wrong, people have identified rapper Black Thought as the Roots’ weak link ever since the band broke out the college-circuit ghetto a few years back. But apparently Thought’s had enough of all that: Over this track’s sirenlike bass line, the MC spits three and a half minutes of breathless fury, throwing darts at nameless detractors and basking in his hard-earned riches. See him beat the crap out of a gagged suit in the awesome video!
