I can't really decide if this is Black Thought's best verse, but it is Malik B's best. "Meiso" by DJ Krush featuring Black Thought and Malik B.

silent treatment has to be overall one of the roots best songs and i also really dig what BT raps on it.......it's not like it's the most prolific, dope metaphor verse, it's just the art of storytellin' at it's best.......has to be one of his best.<P>willy<P>"nothing is new to me but i'm still learning" -talib kweli

My personal favorite is "No Alibi". Malik and Black brought it somthin terrible! (Illidelph-Track 13,Go peep it!)

The best verse is a tie between "Concerto of a Desparado" (see above post for a couple of good reasons) and "No Alibi".
