Black Thought & Mos Def Double Trouble appreciation

[mson]

Probably the best and most underrated back and forth rhyming ever.


Can't forget Nas & AZ, Red and Meth, Rae & Ghost, Dog Pound, Mos & Talib, Jada & SP(sorry sheek) Kid n Play, Nice and Smooth and Mobb Deep. But ultimate duos are another thread altogether.

classic, of course Mos Def's rhyming and charisma made this classic

That may be true but it takes two to tango and Black thought opened the track up hard.

black thought merked mos def

Yo, you go one for my hustle (hustle)
Two to rock rhyme (two to rock rhyme)
From the muscle kid I'm one of the illets of all time
I swing from chandeliers and wall climb
And specialize in warfares of all kind
A lot of MC's said I'm a run it down rhyme
But half the time, they run it down one of mine
Thought suffocatin em with yet another stunnin line
You dumb and blind kid, it's enlarged and underlined


You better get your rest cause the next day comin
Oh yes, and MC's they scared to say sum'tin
Stop frontin, I'm in the cut just onlookin
Your get your kings, your rooks, rings and pawns tooken

black thought murked mos def with the multisyllable rhyming

[phonthought3000]

and props for this post........that album is a personal classic to me. That track banging and then the break down with Mos and Quest on the drums at the end which leads into Act II w/ common......but poor Talib reading the linear notes and quest said they had to take him off and re-record wit jus Mos & Thought cause the songs was too long wit all three.
