After the BET Cypher, Mos Def chops it up with Black Thought about the record off Rising Down that Black black’d out on. This type of shit is so fucking dope to see IMO. Artists truly showing love and appreciation to one another. And seeing them both spit it at the same time? Classic. Shouts to Frolab on the footage (and NR on the find).
Black Thought x Black Dante: 75 Bars (Video)
Hip Hop, Video
Man, Mos knows everybody’s lines that he digs, top to bottom, like on that Mos on Doom interview.
Yeah haha Mos Def is to hip-hop what kids are to candy.
Shit like this makes me wish Mos put out more shit. He’s such a fan of other people’s shit and of rap in general it seems like he should just live in the lab.
It’s always great to see respectable MC’s show homage to each other.
I know that whole 75 bars jawn too. Thought’s my favorite fuggin MC.
Good shit and good week for hip-hop, I said so earlier on twitter:

Made me go quit what I was doing and jam that track real quick…
that 75 bars is one of black thought’s best verses that i’ve heard
Dope
fire
(sigh of content)
Hip Hop is alive & ok when stuff like this happens.
damn, Mos Def really knows his shit and Black Thought is just illl…
That’s how Mos is. I remember the vid with him reciting MF DOOM joints back to back lol. 75 Bars is crazy
i love Mos Def!! (except when he is on shows like bill maher, sounds dumb as ish on that show!) BUT….i have to say, dude makes me love hip hop even more when i see him spit Doom and Thoughts rhymes! much respect on that. i use to write down lyrics of Black Thoughts back when the roots illadelph halflife came out, probably could rhyme them off while listening to it. but off the dome…nope! so much respect to Mos for this. dude has Photographic Memory but with hearing……what is that called? ha ha ha.
My respect for Mos just went through the roof, srsly, and it was already sky high.
This video… fuckin dope. Mos Def one of my top 5 MC’s
Shouts to Fro Lab. Those dudes had an interview on Mos Def and he was talking about a Black Star reunion.
It’s going to happen, sooner or later.
kinda wish this was the hip hop thats mainstream…the people need to see what the essence of this shit here is…oh well in a perfect world…
^^ so true
anyway we still know that real hiphop does exist out there and these people prove it.
Black Thought looks like fuckin Baron Davis here haha
God, I love REAL hip hop!! Thanks for posting this!
Two of the illest emcees to ever grace the mic. They need to form a new day Native Tongues.
@hahaha lol : Auditory Memory haha
This shit is ill so much respect to Dante
I did the same things as MCMTX – seeing this made me HAVE to hear this again. Definitely one of my favorite Black Thought verses. Shit is crazy, and to see Mos spit it like that was great.
wheres Robbie Maynard on this one?
never heard of these cats? not swaggerific enough for you?
phrases that should be killed : “real hip hop”. you backpackers kill me. on another note mos def is the fuckin man. i have never seen another artist recite something that lyrical from another dope artist. that was just ridiculous. good ish.
phrases that should be killed: “backpackers”
fuck off with that weak shit
