It's my opinion, period. Thought is cool, but the nigga ain't even in my top 5, the nigga may not even make my top 10 (if I sat around doing that type of shit) to be honest- he's dope but to me he's NOTHING SPECIAL.
I don't listen out for Black Thought, he's just another sound in the musical arangement that are the Roots. He's a proffecient emcee, I won't take anything away from him, but he just doesn't have what it takes to be viewed as one of the greatest.
